In a shrewd, and funny talk, MICHAEL POLLAN shows what is wrong with our globalized, corporate-controlled agriculture. And he shows why certain alternatives are sane, practical, and---on a small but growing scale--already in place.
This week, in Part 2, he humorously describes his visit to Polyface Farm, in Virginia, an innovative and sustainable (and regional) organic farm. He goes on to discuss why farming--despite obstacles--MUST be re-localized.
Pollan spoke at The Mondavi Center of the University of California, Davis, in November 2006. Adapted to radio in May 2012 by K.D.
