FARMERS HELPING FARMERS Episode 23 – STACEY CURCIO

February 2, 2025

We are what we eat eats – food starts in the soil

When farmers speak about diversity being one of the hallmarks of a resilient farming system, Stacey Curcio asks them to consider the diversity within their diets and the way they move to keep their body’s cells and microbes thriving.

Stacey is a Naturopath at Cultivating Wellness with a Masters of Human Nutrition and was guest speaker at VicNoTill’s Food for Thought conference in 2024. She links human health and soil health, regenerative practices and systems thinking.

In this Farmers Helping Farmers The Podcast episode with Michael Gooden, Stacey delves into more detail about the way people respond to the environment, the food they eat and the emotions they experience.

Palates reflect the intricate relationship between the land, the plants, and the animals we consume. This connection reminds us that healthy, diverse ecosystems are essential not only for sustaining the Earth but for nurturing human health, as the foods we eat carry the imprint of the land and its vitality.

Nutrition starts in the soil, not in the packet or on the plate. “We are what we eat eats.”
