E32: How Cows Save the Planet: Soil, Nutrition & the Hidden Cost of Modern Farming

Guest Bio: Judith D. Schwartz is a journalist and author who writes about nature-based solutions to global environmental and economic challenges. Her work has appeared in Scientific American, Yale Environment 360, and The New York Times. She is the author of Cows Save the Planet, Water in Plain Sight, and The Reindeer Chronicles. Topics Discussed: The decline in soil health and crop nutrient levels Regenerative agriculture vs. industrial organic farming Role of grazing animals in ecosystem restoration Carbon sequestration through soil The dangers of consensus-driven climate narratives Local vs. global food and economic systems GMOs, seed monopolies, and chemical agriculture dependency The need for bioregional resilience in a post-globalization era Top 3 Quotes: “Many people think that zero animal impact is ideal… but we need certain types of disturbance for healthy landscapes—that’s how our ecosystems work.” “Our knowledge can only be as good as the questions that we ask.” “Just because something is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s nutrient-dense; we don’t know we’re getting the good stuff—we just know we’re avoiding the bad stuff. 📺Watch the podcast on YouTube➡️https://youtu.be/1oSYBbkSFz8 🎙 The Pod is hosted by Jesse Wright 💬 For guest suggestions, questions, or media inquiries, reach out at https://elpodcast.media/ 📬 Never miss an episode – subscribe and follow wherever you get your podcasts. ⭐️ If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the show.
