Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America

The battle for economic justice and a sustainable planet isn’t just the domain of urban and suburban Americans. Farmers and ranchers are heeding the call to explore new ways of farming, removing pesticides and herbicides, fighting GMOs, and creating vibrant rural economies. They are producing healthy food and developing new outlets for their crops. Their efforts are courageous and they are making inroads despite the influence of multi-national corporate agricultural firms, a compliant government, industrial farming, and consolidated control of retail outlets. Listen to author Liz Carlisle talk about her new book “Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America” in which Montana farmers took matters into their own hands, avoided mono crops, replenished their soil, conserve water, refused chemicals, and made it work. They banded together, shared information, developed ideas, and prospered. They are leading the way in a food revolution that will affect us all..

The show is one of the highest quality and professional programs available. Danahey’s strength is to take complex subjects, talk with experts and make them comprehensible and entertaining for average listeners.
