Rewilding Futures: Shaping Tomorrow's Wild

Alice Hodgkinson explores the critical connection between human health, diet, and rewilding, addressing an often-overlooked aspect of the rewilding conversation: the rewilding of ourselves. Drawing from her experience as a medical doctor, Alice highlights how the modern food system contributes to the overwhelming burden of illness and disease and proposes how dietary changes can support both human health and environmental regeneration.
This session will delve into how aligning human diets with rewilding principles can promote health, reduce disease, and complement sustainable land use practices. Alice will also draw parallels between human and animal digestive needs, exploring how resource allocation for both can align with a healthier and wilder planet. This thought-provoking talk integrates human flourishing into the ecological agenda, inspiring a holistic perspective on rewilding.
