Front man for the sustainable\/regenerative farming movement, Joel Salatin, returns to the podcast this week.<\/p>\n

Next month on April 23rd, he’ll be joining Adam, the folks from Singing Frogs Farm, permaculturalist Toby Hemenway, and Robb Wolf at\u00a0a speaking event in northern California<\/a>. He’ll be speaking on the power that’s in our hands to make much smarter choices regarding the food systems we depend on:<\/p>\n

Joel Salatin:\u00a0<\/strong>Farmers get beat up for a number of things: producing what they produce, the way they treat animals, they way they treat the land . I want to point out that the power is not in the farmers. From a voting standpoint, prisoners\/inmates are a lot more powerful of a constituency block in the culture than farmers are. So let\u2019s put this in perspective: the power is in the customer. And so if you want things to change on the landscape, if you want things to change regarding chemicals, pesticides, GMO \u2013 name your issue — if you want change, well, you’ve got to make a change.<\/p>\n

I think that too often consumers take the convenient way out and say\u00a0‘Well, if farmers would just do things differently, everything would be better.’<\/em>\u00a0The truth is that farmers have always followed the market. If people refuse to buy genetically modified organism food, farmers won\u2019t produce it. It’s really that simple. It doesn\u2019t take a government agent, a bureaucracy, a police state, a new law. I mean, all of this could be changed just by consumers taking a more active and aggressive role at financing what they say they believe in from the outset.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
