Understanding Organic: The Botany of Desire, Soil Food Web, and More, with Marybeth Sanchez

Regenerative agriculture specialist Marybeth Sanchez returns to the show for an overview recap of all that we've learned during the understanding organic series. Marybeth dives deeper into the soil food web, and talks about the importance of having a farming mindset that encompasses more than just delivering nutrients to your plants- taking into consideration things like microbial and fungal soil populations. The conversation turns towards The Botany of Desire and the idea that within a natural system, plants are trying to express themselves in ways that are desireable to humans. Marybeth wraps the show by talking about pest resistance qualities of organicly grown plants versus syntheticly grown ones. ---Purity Coffee has officially launched POCKET PURITY!
