From the transcript
Because the world is measured thanks to transgenerational joy and smiles. Let's use traditional foodways to develop this theory of joy, smiles, happiness, and hope as a new way of measuring people, things, islands, mainland, and the world. But what also makes traditional foodways networks very special is the relationship to wild species and ecosystems through fishing, hunting, and gathering. Considering that what is alive, everything, generates a sense of respect toward the living world. Long durée processes of co-evolution between humans and other species, detailed knowledge gained from observing species behavior and ecosystems functioning, multi-species communities,, and land-stream-ocean continuum, all of these create deep networks of connections.
