Call-to-Action

I’m excited about the chance to connect with the Earth One Community to exchange ideas and collaborate on scaling ecosystem restoration and bioeconomy models. Having spent the last 10 years building a regenerative bio-hub in the Atlantic Forest, I’m eager to share insights from this journey, including lessons on fostering a bioregional regenerative economy that integrates ecological restoration, sustainable livelihoods, and community resilience. Through my work with She Changes Climate, I focus on bringing a gender perspective and highlighting the importance of women’s leadership at all levels—from grassroots to climate negotiations—for effective climate action. I want to share these perspectives while learning from other women leaders and practitioners from around the world. I have always had a deep interest in social innovation in India and am excited to learn from local entrepreneurs and explore best practices in regenerative agriculture.
