In this presentation from the Eco-Ag Conference, Jeff Poppen—better known as the Barefoot Farmer—shares decades of hands-on farming experience while exploring the principles of Rudolf Steiner's agricultural teachings. From composting and livestock integration to soil biology, crop rotations, and farm self-sufficiency, Jeff explains how healthy soil creates healthy food. Blending practical wisdom, historical perspective, and plenty of humor, this conversation challenges conventional agriculture and offers timeless lessons for building resilient, regenerative farms that work in harmony with nature.
