Your food is guided by a philosophy . . . it just may not be one that you agree with . . . or the one that you think you are supporting.

Regeneration of depleted soil doesn't come from a food company sending out an edict that the farmers in their supply chain will now add a cover crop to what they are already doing…..or even from them offering to pay for a regenerative farming course and then taking credit with consumers for expanding regenerative agriculture.

Regeneration arrives as an outcome of a restorative mindset that focuses on  “What to grow rather than what to kill," as farmer Gail Fuller puts it.

Our ability to taste terroir is linked to the health of the soil . . . and as a result, to the ways of farming that restore life in the soil……..understanding the philosophy that guides that practice is critical.  But you can't do that if you don't even know where your food comes from.  

This episode is called “The Flavor of Your Food’s Philosophy” – As you will see, if you are buying food directly from regenerative farmers, you are able to understand the holistic way of thinking that goes into what and how they make your food.  And this could be why it often tastes so much better.

But taking a piece of land from depleted and artificial to full of natural life doesn’t happen overnight……..as we will hear more about from my interview with master farmer, and member of our Global Food & Farm Community – Gail Fuller of Circle 7 Farms in Kansas
