Author on regenerative business to be featured at Central Coast Bioneers Conference
Author Esha Chhabra will be a featured speaker at the Central Coast Bioneers Conference which will be held October 4-5 at the Octagon Barn. Ms. Chhabra is part of the Social Justice series on Saturday October 5th, which will also feature speakers on empowering Latino voices, democracy vs. Big Tech, rematriation of indigenous lands and nature-based solutions for urban injustice.
Chhabra, a writer and journalist for The Guardian, the Washington Post, and New York Times, focuses on sustainability, international development and the rise of mission-driven brands in her writing. She will be speaking about her book, Working to Restore: Harnessing the Power of Regenerative Business to Heal the World, which highlights businesses who are making a difference in areas such as supply chains, regenerative agriculture, thoughtful tourism, wellness, energy and finance. “The businesses [featured in the book] were started with the intent to feel closer to what it means to be human,” says Chhabra. “Capitalism has put us on a path where we have lost connection with humanity.”
The two-day conference will feature environmental and climate themes on Friday, October 4th. On Saturday, October 5th, along with the social justice series, there will be a free repair café from 10:00-2:00 and a fundraiser at 4:00 for the newly planned Upper Salinas River Center.
