The Essential Episode

This show: Saltspring Island Farmer & author Abey Scaglione joins me to discuss her new book, Radical Farm, which argues that animals are essential to ensure the health of our soil, ourselves, and our food system.

Then: did the BC Agriculture Council go to Victoria to ask that our Ag sector be deemed an essential service? Yes! Also, no! BCAC Executive Director Danielle Synotte joins me to explain.
