In today's episode, I sit down with Sage Fairman from the Oregon Climate & Agriculture Network (OrCAN). Sage is the Program Manager of OrCAN, and she specializes in regenerative agriculture, bilingual farm business support, and farmworker advocacy. Our discussion centered around soil health, sustainability in agriculture, and environmental justice through the lens of food systems. This episode is a great starting point for learning about the principles of soil health, so let's learn!
