About this episode
John Ikerd, one of the leading experts in the world on the economics of sustainable agriculture, and environmental activist Mackenzie Feldman talk to Mark about how they learn from each other, despite — or perhaps because of — their age gap; why recreating local food systems is so important; and what people in their 20s are most concerned about when it comes to food and agriculture.
