Speaker 1: M hmm. If you're alive, you eat, and if you're humane,
Speaker 1: you've likely confronted empty store shelves and supermarkets and become
Speaker 1: a lot more curious about where and how your food
Speaker 1: is produced. Maybe you want to build a more ethical
Speaker 1: food system and better understand the origins of your food.
Speaker 1: For example, did the chickens you eat walk free? Or
Speaker 1: maybe you've gotten overwhelmed and tuned out four stories about
Speaker 1: factory farms and soiled too depleted to provide nourishment. But
Speaker 1: it's time to tune back in because the future is
Speaker 1: up to us and our choices matter. This is the
Speaker 1: moment to join the revolution in farming and food. To me,
Speaker 1: the future of farming is indigenous. I'm hoping ten years
Speaker 1: in the future that will have more conversations about how
Speaker 1: agriculture is connected to our democratic principles. The future of
Speaker 1: farming is directly connected to the future of bio diversity,
Speaker 1: the future of justice, and our future. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: Future of X from AUSI Media. I'm Isabella Lee, a
Speaker 1: writer with AUSSI. Last year, I fell in love with
Speaker 1: farming while working on my family's cattle ranch and working
Speaker 1: for a generative farms Each season of the Future of
Speaker 1: X gives us a glimpse into what might lie ahead.
Speaker 1: From healing eroded soils. As plants develop, they can end
Speaker 1: up returning that carbon directly to the soil through their roots.
Speaker 1: To understanding how our food choices impact what and how
Speaker 1: we grow. What are we going to do? Seventies some
Speaker 1: percent of the species lives in cities, how do we
Speaker 1: get the food there? And the ways big data could
Speaker 1: transform the lives of those who put food on our tables.
Speaker 1: If we want to have a future of farming that
Speaker 1: is driven by data that we can trust and rely upon,
Speaker 1: then we need to involve the produces of the day DA,
Speaker 1: not just the producers of food. To how commercial agriculture
Speaker 1: has compromised food security. These destructive agriculture practices that are
Speaker 1: actually you know, releasing all these nutrients that we need
Speaker 1: to maintain for soil health. Seed by seed and meal
Speaker 1: by meal, we help sustain a food system that can
Speaker 1: heal or harm us. The choices we make today create
Speaker 1: the conditions for the feasts or famines of tomorrow. So
Speaker 1: pull up a seat at our proverbial table and listen
Speaker 1: to the future of AX on Apple, Spotify or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts, A lot goes into an honest
Speaker 1: day's work. At Vital Farms, their purpose is to bring
Speaker 1: ethically produced food to the table, and they believe that
Speaker 1: pasture raising animals is the most humane and sustainable way
Speaker 1: to achieve that. That's why Vital Farms partners with nearly
Speaker 1: two hundred family farms, helping them to rotate their pastures
Speaker 1: and do right by the land. Because helping the land
Speaker 1: helps the hens, which helps the eggs, which helps you.
