Summary

34: Finian Makepeace is the co-founder of Kiss the Ground (a must see doc on Netflix) and a renowned presenter, media creator, and thought leader in the field of regenerative agriculture and soil health. His dedication to Kiss the Ground’s mission of “inspiring participation in global regeneration, starting with soil”, has motivated him to develop training programs, workshops, and talks designed to empower people around the world to become confident advocates for this growing movement. We talk about regenerative farming, how it will save our planet from desertification if we prioritize it over degenerative farming, why the conventional agriculture narrative of “feeding the world” is b.s., glyphosate on our food, food policies in place that are keeping us sick and what we can do on an individual level. CAFOS = Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation - a system of farming which concentrates a large number of animals into a small space for maximum efficiency. https://kisstheground.com/https://www.instagram.com/finianmakepeace/ Learn more about your ad choices.

1:45.1	Why this narrative that the conventional agriculture has picked up on of feeding the world
