I will admit that I used to think the people standing outside Trader Joe's asking me to sign a petition against glyphosate and Monsanto were crazy. I didn’t really know anything about Monsanto or about Glyphosate or anything about farming, for that matter.
All of that changed when I heard Dr. Zach Bush on the Rich Roll podcast. Suddenly, my eyes were opened to the impact of pesticides on our declining health, our food systems and on our soil. That is when I really started paying attention.
Today’s guest is David Leon, the Executive Director of Farmer’s Footprint, a non-profit organization that he co-founded with Dr. Zach Bush. Their mission, to expose the human and environmental impacts of chemical farming and offer a path forward through regenerative agricultural practices.
You will walk away from this episode with a deepened understanding of the role pesticides play on our health and what you can do to be a part of the movement for change.
