Ep 215 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara break down the chaos and charm of Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 from surprise restaurant launches to red tape and that abrupt, buzzworthy finale. Plus, new cast member Harriet sparks mixed reactions from fans and hosts alike.

Next, the DISCOs tackle viral confusion over “bioengineered” food labels at Whole Foods and how influencers are turning GMO fear into follower gold. Also: solo dinners get real (string cheese and pizza in a robe, anyone?), lab-grown meat bans sweep the U.S., and upcoming expert guests promise a clash of opinions on CRISPR, glyphosate, and the future of food.

Whether you’re in it for ag policy or just to feel better about your microwave meal habits, this episode’s got you.
