Sustainability, Biodynamics, FairTrade & Good Health with Weleda’s David Johnston

On this episode of the Go Vita podcast our focus is on sustainability, biodynamics, regenerative farming, microplastics, fair trade and more with Weleda Australia Managing Director David Johnston. With an expected increase in the world’s population, from seven to nine billion by 2050, the demand for diminishing natural resources is growing.

According to the anthroposophic ideas of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Weleda, we must do our best to support an adequate living environment for everyone today, without compromising the needs of future generations. Many would say that is easier said than done but we’re going to give it our best shot on this episode of the Go Vita Podcast. We’ll discuss micro plastics, biodynamic farming, fairtrade certification and a whole lot more. To help us tackle this big issue is a real trailblazer and giant in the wellness industry.
