In this episode of The Force of Nature Podcast, Conan sits down with Daniel Eb, the founder of Dirt Road Comms, Nuffield New Zealand Scholar, writer for Farmers Weekly, and a passionate advocate for reshaping the way we think about food and farming.   Daniel’s story blends urban and rural worlds, giving him a unique perspective on New Zealand’s agricultural future. From launching Dirt Road Comms to his Nuffield Scholarship journey, Daniel shares insights on how global events ripple through local agriculture, why food systems are inseparable from public health, and how localised, resilient food networks could transform communities.   We explore why New Zealand is uniquely positioned to lead the agricultural transition, the role of Millennials in driving change, and why food should be treated as a public good just like healthcare. Daniel also makes a powerful case for a national food strategy, local procurement programs, and the moral imperative to address food insecurity in a resource rich nation.   This conversation is packed with stories, strategies, and bold ideas for building thriving rural communities, reimagining the future of food, and harnessing people as a powerful force of nature for systemic change.   https://www.dirtroadcomms.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-eb/?originalSubdomain=nz
