In this powerful conversation hosted by the Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation,
legendary farmer, author, and food freedom advocate Joel Salatin joins Nora
Gedgaudas to discuss the explosive movement back to the land — and why 2020
changed everything.
Joel breaks down why millions of Americans are leaving cities, questioning
institutions, and rediscovering the skills their grandparents took for granted.
From backyard chickens and sourdough starters to food clusters, agrarian bunkers,
and building parallel economies — this conversation is a blueprint for resilience
in uncertain times.
