Climate + Soil

There’s a revolution happening in fields and gardens across the world—a vibrant revival of farming practices that heal our planet while feeding our communities! The Real Organic Podcast captures these inspiring stories that prove we can grow abundant food while protecting our precious soil and climate. Despite industrial agriculture’s dominance, innovative farmers are showing there’s another way forward that’s bursting with life and possibility!
“How do you make a profit? With improving the environment, improving the lives of the people around you,” explains California farmer Scott Park, who transformed conventional fields into thriving organic systems. His success challenges the status quo that says “Brown is beautiful. Green is gross,” proving that farms can flourish when working in harmony with nature! Every cover-cropped field and biodiverse farm becomes a beacon of hope and a living example of what’s possible.
