In this episode, Christine sits down with Donna Kilpatrick, Director of Regeneration at Heifer USA (Heifer International), to explore what regeneration looks like when we stop treating people as “recipients” — and start collaborating with communities as partners.
Donna shares how Heifer’s mission has evolved from livestock donations into a whole-systems approach to ending hunger and poverty while caring for the earth, including farmer training at Heifer Ranch’s 1,200-acre living laboratory in Perryville, Arkansas.
Together, Christine and Donna go deep into:
