Podcast | How Our Food System Has Failed Us with Camilla Fayed & Aurora Solá

Or, listen on Spotify

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Camilla Fayed and Aurora Solá, co-creators of Manifesto on the Future of Food, to explore how our food system became disconnected from soil, ecology, and human health — and what it will take to restore it. Together, they offer a clear and grounded look at the rise of industrial agriculture, the consequences of extractive farming, and why the health of our soil is inseparable from the health of our bodies.

Camilla and Aurora walk through the origins and principles of regenerative agriculture, explaining how practices rooted in biodiversity, soil restoration, and ecological balance can rebuild resilience in both ecosystems and communities. Rather than framing the issue through blame or fear, they focus on practical pathways forward — from supporting local farmers to rethinking how we relate to food altogether.
This conversation is an invitation to see food not just as fuel, but as a relationship — one that shapes our health, our environment, and our collective future.
