AJ Richards | The Hidden War Against Farmers, Ranchers & Real Food #65
Most people know AJ Richards as an outspoken advocate for ranchers and food sovereignty—but few understand the depth of his mission or the personal journey that led him here. In this episode, Miesha sits down with AJ at the Food Is Medicine Summit to uncover the truth about America’s collapsing food system—and the spiritual calling that pushed him to build FromTheFarm.org, a platform reconnecting families with the farmers who feed them.AJ explains why 90% of grocery store “food” is nutritionally dead, how policy and corporate control have pushed ranchers to the brink, and why the next decade could determine whether America keeps its food independence.
