November 3rd, 2020 Comrades In Farms Episode 12 *Priming The Food Quality Conversation*

Tonight I talked a little bit about an upcoming series where Brad Lauber and I will be bringing in some top scientists and genetics experts an forming a conversation around food. Understanding that the consumer should have the ability to weigh in on this conversation, we want to include consumers in that conversation. I introduced the concept tonight briefly just to raise awareness and then chatted with the listeners and heard some of their struggles with health and food. Our hope is to connect consumers directly to seed breeders like Brad and scientists to discuss all the potential directions our food chain could go in. Topics on the table for discussion are ecology, soil health, carbon sequestration, GMO's, CRISPR and other genetics technologies, chemicals, and more. Please share this upcoming series with your friends and family as all this is directly related to your health, the future of farming, and the quality of life on our planet.
