What if we looked to nature first? Innovation often starts in our heads, but what if it began by observing the world around us? Nature has been solving complex challenges for billions of years. In this episode, we dive into the science of biomimicry with Dave Hutchins, Technical Director at the Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit supporting entrepreneurs, engineers, designers, and artists worldwide in learning from nature’s genius to inspire solutions, designs, and processes for our planet's most urgent problems.
This conversation is packed with vivid examples, offering both an introduction to biomimicry and a practical guide for anyone seeking to harness nature’s wisdom in their work. From food systems to textiles, business strategies to new models of collaboration, Dave reveals how nature holds endless inspiration for building a better, more regenerative world.
