EP 145: Food Supply # 1 | Regenerative Farming & the Climate Agenda with Jason Rowntree of MSU & Will Harris of White Oak Pastures

We’re taking you deep into the complicated world of your food supply. Whether it’s a steak, salad or slice of bread… there’s a lot happening in the process of getting what you eat to your table and you should know about it.  Regenerative farming is a catching phrase. It sounds wonderful but what does it mean? And walked out, what does it actually look like for both farmers and consumers? In this opening episode we first talk to Jason Rountree, a professor of Animal Science at Michigan State University, where he is the Charles Stewart Mott Distinguished Professor for Sustainable Agriculture. Next, we speak to the well-known regenerative farmer Will Harris of White Oak Pastures.  We get into food production, and subsequently, the healthfulness and quality of our food… what it all ideally would look like and where farming (again, ideally) is moving. But every ideal has challenges. You’ll find this topic is no doubt a complex one. This first episode strikes a chord on many themes that will be discussed throughout the entire 5-week series… don’t miss an episode.  SPONSORS: ARK Heirloom Seed Kits: Use the code BOOMCLAP to save 10% off your order.
