The Farm Is Here: Building a More Resilient Food System from the Soil Up
From rising input costs and supply chain disruptions to growing concerns about food quality, nutrient density and human health, many of the challenges facing our food system begin at the same place: the farm.
Drawing from his book, The Farm Is Here, Rodale Institute CEO Jeff Tkach will explore the critical connection between healthy soil, resilient farms and a stronger food system. He will examine the economic and environmental pressures facing farmers today, the vulnerabilities within our food supply chain and the science behind soil health and regenerative organic agriculture. Tkach will also explore how the way we grow our food can influence its quality and nutrient density, and why supporting farmers and rebuilding soil health are essential to creating a healthier, more resilient food system for generations to come."
