RFK Jr. Podcast: Small Farms Healthy Food with Joel Salatin Farmer (11/16/24, podcast 51 min)
Anyone who likes to eat, garden, or farm will find this discussion quite interesting (even if you are a vegetarian).
Farmer Joel Salatin discusses the solutions to making farming provide more food at a higher nutritional density. How governmental and BigAg roadblocks could drum American small farms out of existence — just as governments have in the even worse Northern European countries like Denmark and Holland. And how to solve problems such as drought, fertilizer shortages, and more.
About Joel Salatin’s Polyface Farms:
In 1961, William and Lucille Salatin moved their young family to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, purchasing the most worn-out, eroded, abused farm in the area near Staunton. Using nature as a pattern, they and their children began the healing and innovation that now supports three generations. Disregarding conventional wisdom, the Salatins planted trees, built huge compost piles, dug ponds, moved cows daily with portable electric fencing, and invented portable sheltering systems to produce all their animals on perennial prairie polycultures.
Today the farm arguably represents America’s premier non-industrial food production oasis. Believing that the Creator’s design is still the best pattern for the biological world, the Salatin family invites like-minded folks to join in the farm’s mission: to develop emotionally, economically, environmentally enhancing agricultural enterprises and facilitate their duplication throughout the world. The Salatins continue to refine their models to push environmentally-friendly farming practices toward new levels of expertise.
