I'm thrilled to share my chat with Paul Grieve from Pasture Bird. We unpack the profound impact of regenerative farming on our health, animal welfare, and the planet, revealing the deep connection between soil vitality and the quality of our food. Paul helps us understand the true meaning behind "pasture-raised" and why it's about so much more than a label on your chicken. Through an honest examination of food labeling and the impact of diet on livestock, we aim to guide you towards choices that resonate with your values. This episode is a call for transparency and consumer wisdom in navigating the terrain of ethical food production.
