EP12 | Pravin Bhagwat — Turning Systems Thinking into Forests, Livelihoods & Sustainability Platform

In this episode of The Root Cause, Pravin Bhagat reflects on a journey that moves from building complex corporate systems to restoring forests, livelihoods, and dignity on the ground. What began as a personal search for clean food and meaningful work gradually shaped 14 Trees - an approach to sustainability rooted in trust, long-term thinking, and community participation. The conversation explores breaking the rural–urban divide, reimagining forests as shared systems of care and livelihood, and designing frameworks where communities are not “served” but actively shape outcomes. If you’re interested in how human–nature interfaces can evolve through collaboration, patience, and responsibility, this episode offers quiet but powerful insights worth listening to. 🌱 More About 14 Trees Email - contact@14trees.org Website - 14trees.org Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/14_trees?ig...
