His father’s pioneering influence and background in agriculture and sustainable farming led Bill to appreciate these methods long before they were considered “cool.”Bill earned his PhD in Biochemistry, and with skills as a proven problem solver, focuses on developing green and sustainable solutions for a wide range of products and services.Go to https://www.urbanfarm.org/2017/07/18/262-bill-sadler/ for more information and links on this podcast, and to find our other great guests.
