Stop Chasing More Land! Plan Better Instead (S1W30)

from The Urban Farmer Podcast

Have you ever felt the pressure to expand your farm just because more land was available? In this episode, Diego and Curtis challenge the "bigger is better" mindset that has shaped agriculture since the 1970s and explore why small-scale, intentional farming is a smarter, more sustainable path. They talk about solid ways to maximize the land you already have through tighter cropping strategies, smarter planning, and creative use of space, all without taking on debt or burning yourself out.
