Understanding Organic: Mold, Mildew and Mycotoxins, with Marybeth Sanchez

Natural farming specialist and integrated pest management expert Marybeth Sanchez returns to the show for another installment of her Understanding Organic series. Today's episode focuses in on mold, mildew, and mycotoxin- a common issue that farmers and producers have to battle in the coffee production world. Marybeth discusses how these molds and mildews take hold of crops, and the negative effects that these molds can have once consumed. She goes on to talk about controlling and preventing mold and mildew, and when it becomes a major problem. Jordan wraps the show by sharing a recent controversy over mold between podcasters, one claiming that the issue is rampant while the other claims that it's borderline non existent. ---Purity Coffee has officially launched POCKET PURITY!
