Description

J.I. Rodale wrote “healthy soil = healthy food = healthy people” on a blackboard in 1942, and that has been the mantra at the Rodale Institute, created in 1947, ever since. In this sitdown at Rodale’s research farm in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, host Lisa Held talks to CEO Jeff Moyer about how that history contributed to evolving ideas around organic and regenerative agriculture, the Institute’s most impactful research projects, and more. Think of it as a big picture check-in to assess if and why “organic” food and farming matters—now and for the future.Image courtesy of Rodale Institute.Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
