Welcome to Season 1 of Radical Food, where we discuss why and how we need to radically change our food system! On this episode, we sit down with Jayne Senecal of Earth Care Farm, founded in 1977. We discuss the importance of organic matter for growing high quality, nutrient-dense food. Jayne details her farm's compost production system and explains soil organic matter in an easily understandable way. We also dive into Jayne's employee management style, farming philosophy, family farm history, and her perspectives on changing the food & agricultural system.

Hostess, Logan Hailey expands on information presented in the previous episode. She discusses how the Green Revolution and industrialization of agriculture have created corporate control of the food system. The second part of the podcast details her response to these problems: the decision to work towards self-sufficiency, build an off-grid tiny home, and pursue a career as an ecological farmer. As always, thanks for listening! Read full blog post: http://farmer-v.tumblr.com/post/168556300617/host-logan-hailey-farmer-v-expands-on

Farmworkers are among the most poorly treated workers in the country. This episode of Radical Food explores farmworker justice in alternative food movements (organic, local, vegan/vegetarian, fair trade, etc.) through a food justice lens.
