About this episode

This episode features a discussion on the challenges of the global food system and the movement to empower independent farmers.

In this episode, we cross the border to the United States to sit down with two powerhouses behind a movement that is rattling the cages of the global food system. RS "Ruffshot" June, the Creative Strategist for the Beef Initiative , and Shannon Ebersol (Ranch Mama), a veteran regenerative rancher, join us to discuss why the current agricultural model is "captured" and how they are fighting to return power to the independent farmer. From the streets of Philadelphia to the rolling pastures of Iowa, this conversation explores the intersection of health, decentralisation, and the urgent 10-year window we have to save the family ranch. Take a look at the Beef Initiative here www.beefinitiative.com Thanks as always to our sponsors, Range Ward https://www.rangeward.com/
