Welcome back to the Modern Electrician Podcast! I'm super excited to share today's conversation with you all! In this episode, I sit down with ecologist, permaculture expert and long-time friend, Michael Judd. Michael is a wealth of knowledge on food systems, author of multiple books on edible landscape design and a resident of my beautiful town of Frederick, MD. During this chat, we cover a lot of topics relating to the current world-wide food system, including perennial gardening VS annual gardening and how those systems shape the way we create the rest of the world around us. We also discuss Michael's beautifully designed and crafted circular straw-bale home, his life's ambition of creating a permaculture haven in his own hometown and his thoughts on growing food as a viable trade for future generations.

Hope you all enjoy this episode! Hopefully you'll learn something new about how food is produced.
