142) The fraud in 'certified organic' and reclaiming its true meaning with Dave Chapman

Dave Chapman runs Long Wind Farm in Vermont and is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Real Organic Project. After unveiling how our current organic standards may be misleading consumers and falling short of what "organic" should mean, he now actively fights for integrity and transparency in the National Organic Program. On this podcast episode, Dave shares the shocking reality of how products from CAFOs (concentrated animal feeding operations) and hydroponics can be certified organic by the USDA; why hydroponics should not be considered organic; how he's dealing with the challenges of going against big money and corporate influence; and more.   Episode notes: www.greendreamer.com/142 Support the show: www.greendreamer.com/support Instagram: www.instagram.com/greendreamerpodcast
