Listen "Using adventure to shift conversations around the environment with Tim Jarvis"
Episode Synopsis
Tim Jarvis is an adventurer, explorer, environmental scientist, documentary filmmaker and global speaker.In February of 2023, Host Oli Le Lievre had the chance to sit down with Tim at EvokeAg, a global Agrifood Tech event that was held in Adelaide. What was fascinating about Tim was his approach to use storytelling from his first hand experiences in some of the most remote and isolated parts of the world to convey important messages about the environment and climate change to people and organisations all around the world.As part of all the other things he does, he also does a lot of work around climate change and sustainability… which coincidently has BUCKET LOADS to do with Ag🌾🧑🔬🐂.In our latest pod🎧, we have a chat with Tim about how:-Getting lost at an adventure camp in Malaysia as a 12-year-old led to realising that having confidence to do something = achieving great things.-“Self-delusion is a useful attribute”, sometimes you gotta break down the big challenge into small do-able bits (hence we've put this in dot points).-He’s seen the shift from denial about climate change, to denial of our contribution to climate change to a level of panic about climate change-He doesn’t really like being called an environmentalist because it puts up barriers in peoples minds.-He wants to work with people so they benefit from their businesses, while also looking out for the longevity of the planet🌍 for future generations 👨👩👦.
