The Going to Seed Podcast

por Joseph Lofthouse, Holly Hansen, Shane Simonsen
Temporada 2
Joseph Lofthouse at the Utah Farm and Food Conference
Going To Seed: Inspiring a shift in agriculture towards adaptation, community and diversity. This is my first solo podcast after Shane Simonson started his own podcast -- Zero Input Agriculture. We wish Shane joy and success in his new endeavor. In this episode, I'm posting the presentation that I did at the Utah Farm and Food Conference, January 11th 2024, in Cedar City Utah. Red Acre Center for Food and Agriculture hosts the conference. Red Acre Center advocated for the passage of Utah's Food Freedom law, which allows individuals to sell food to each other without licenses or regulations. The center attends the legislative sessions each year advocating for increased food freedom, and continuing preservation of the gains already made. I highly value the work of Red Acre Center, and pause for a moment of reverence for Sarah, Symbria, Mark, Shawn, and all others involved in supporting this work. Going To Seed sponsors this podcast. Join us there for seeds, farmer support, and complimentary content like video courses, and online forums.
