0:04.0	What's going on everyone? Welcome back to the Epic Gardening
0:15.7	podcast. We have a really cool week that zooms out a bit from the
0:20.2	garden and just looks a little more at our food systems as a whole which as
0:24.8	gardeners I think we're all interested in whether it be trying to grow as much food as
