M hmm. If you're alive, you eat, and if you're humane, you've likely confronted empty store shelves and supermarkets and become a lot more curious about where and how your food is produced. Maybe you want to build a more ethical food system and better understand the origins of your food. For example, did the chickens you eat walk free? Or maybe you've gotten overwhelmed and tuned out four stories about
factory farms and soiled too depleted to provide nourishment. But it's time to tune back in because the future is up to us and our choices matter. This is the moment to join the revolution in farming and food. To me, the future of farming is indigenous.

To how commercial agriculture

Seed by seed and meal by meal, we help sustain a food system that can heal or harm us. The choices we make today create the conditions for the feasts or famines of tomorrow. So pull up a seat at our proverbial table and listen to the future of AX on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts, A lot goes into an honest
