In this episode, Joey and I sat down with Sam Malriat to discuss his work within The Rodale Institute–a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the regenerative organic movement through agricultural research and education. Sam shares his first-hand experience helping conventional farmers convert their land to organic, regenerative practices, including their reasons for changing models, the struggles farmers often face, and the simple yet effective methods used.  Sam also explains why conventional agriculture is not a sustainable model and how we, as the consumer, can play a major role in how our food is grown.
