Manage episode 312088818 series 3228286
We’re pressuring farmers to solve complex challenges like water quality, but are we missing the bigger picture? What about the fundamentals around our food system model – the unpaid true cost of food, disconnected customers and the lack of incentives that support lighter farming.
