371. Kiss the Ground with Finian Makepeace, Ian Somerhalder, and Doniga Markegard

Under the current agricultural paradigm, soil scientists estimate we have only 55 to 60 harvests left. But don’t lose hope – rebuilding soil health can save us from a dystopian future of failed crops. In this episode, Jeff meets with Kiss the Ground Co-Founder Finian Makepeace, regenerative rancher Doniga Markegard, and actor/environmentalist Ian Somerhalder in front of a live audience to explore the farming techniques that can transform the current standard into a regenerative system.
