Joel Salatin

Joel Salatin is a pioneering regenerative farmer and author who has spent decades challenging industrial agriculture through innovative grazing practices on his Polyface Farm in Virginia. He's become a leading voice in the sustainable food movement, advocating for pasture-based farming systems that improve soil health, animal welfare, and nutritional density while reducing environmental impact. Joe brought him on to discuss how conventional farming has damaged our food supply and land, and how his unconventional business model proves that small-scale, ecologically-minded agriculture can be both profitable and transformative. Salatin's straightforward approach to dismantling food system myths and his practical solutions made for compelling conversation about what real food production should look like.
