We all love a bargain when it comes to food. But what if it's not a good deal in the long run? Cheap food comes at a high cost, according to farmer Will Harris from White Oak Pastures. Will is a fourth generation cattle rancher who once farmed conventionally. Now, Will, is an author and a strong advocate for regenerative agriculture. Why did he make the switch? Today, Will opens up about his story. He sheds light on the problems with the conventional/industrial model of agriculture along the way – pointing out its drawbacks on the environment, animal welfare, and on our the health of humanity. Will also highlights the benefits and changes he's seen on the land he grew up on, since changing to a more holistic/natural approach to farming and ranching.
