Thank you both for the work you do. Great discussion. Here is a quote from the past: We have, in other words, all the necessary elements of logic for reasoning from the good soil to the best of health, or from the poor soil to the direst of disease in the animals which consume the products of the soil; but we have not assembled those elements into the necessary whole to arrive at the logical conclusion. Our agricultural reasoning is in much the same condition as was the passenger transportation of the country before the existing railway lines had been grouped into great transcontinental systems. We should be able now to take the entire “trip” from starting point (good or poor soil) to terminus (good or poor health) without having to make the local stops.” - Plowman's Folly by Edward H. Faulkner
I’m all in on the content of this podcast, but being the right thing to do isn’t enough to convert our farmers. It must make a difference economically. So far increased phytonutrient content is not easy to measure nor is it rewarded economically.
Thank you very much for this ! I hope more people / farmers will learn from this :-)
