#48 Greg Welfing: Bugging Out


Listen Later

This week we sit down with Insect expert Greg Welfing to have him dissect some of our biggest topics around bugs, regenerative agriculture, plants, fungi, and a whole lot more. We dive into a discussion on natural biological solutions to our current agricultural issues facing us today as well as Greg's humble beginnings in terms of his love for the natural world. We talk about genetic diversity in organisms, fungal networks, genetic engineeering, and many examples of invasive species propagation. We also touch on colony collapse disorder and the murder hornets that we are combatting currently. We further discuss our broken food system and how we can find solutions including seasonal produce and insect protein sources. We also touch on the interesting developments in gut health and how it can affect your mental and physical health. We then diverge and cover some space topics including the James Webb telescope, aliens, the universe, and simulation theory. We delve into a number of other topics including apex predators, seed vaults, praying mantises, lyme disease and more.
