Just when I start imagining I've learned from your podcasts as much depth as I can hold, ROP gathetz in yet more deep perspectives on building a more rational food system from yet more in-the-trenches change agents. A treasure trove here for choosing an answer to "what can I do". Deep gratitude for your always thoughtful additions to the podcasts!
Sustaining a degraded resourse is better than further degradation. However, we need regenerative practices. Regenerative practices will naturally lead to being organic. Know YOUR farmer, unless you grow your own food. If you wish to get farmers to farm regeneratively/organic, farmers must be shown how to transition and farm profitably like Understanding Ag discusses and teaches.
@8:32 This exchange is the only part of the interview you need to hear to understand that Mr. Frick is nothing more than a bureaucrat with talking points, but really has no physical “boots on the ground” experience or data to back up what he is saying. Telling people to grow their own food when every adult in a household is working at least one job to live doesn’t work. Implying that they can grow their own calories, impervious to inflation. My God, have you ever grown your own food, sir? To imply no costs are involved, like one can just simply go out, toss out some seed, and there you have it! This guy is completely out of touch.
You might be right about Martin Frick, but still I think the only way to solve our problems is people actually trying to grow food on their own. I deeply feel your concerns as someone trying to farm while having a job, but help from above won't ever come in my opinion.
@ I think you both are forgetting a class of folks who this channel is trying to speak to: small farmers. Why isn't Mr. Frick working to connect consumers to small farmers? Do they have any concept of how many small farmers have to work off farm because consumers buy subsidized poisoned foods? THAT is what has to be solved first and foremost. People will choose toxic calories over growing their own, because it tastes better to them and growing food is hard.
@@lambsquartersfarm I think they can only appreciate by trying to grow anything. Of course most of them will be disappointed, but also earning experience which helps value professional small scale farmers.
All the things he said at the begining its about animal agriculture, becouse big amount of corn and soya its destiny to feed animals. Animal exploitation must stop

@ I agree
Small farms will feed other organisms too
