️ Welcome back to the Dust'er Mud Podcast!
Could your dinner plate help save the planet? In this special episode, we sit down with Belgian author, filmmaker, and regenerative agriculture advocate Louis De Jaeger to dig into the future of food, farming, soil health, and global sustainability.
Louis offers bold insight on confronting agrochemical giants like Bayer and Monsanto, and explores how your gut microbiome, daily choices, and farming practices are all deeply connected to the climate crisis and food system.
We're honored to be part of Louis' book launch tour for his new release, "Save Our Soils" – Available June 24, 2025. This episode blends grassroots farming wisdom from the Ozarks with a global call to action for soil regeneration and policy change.
In This Episode:
How soil health is directly tied to your personal health
The truth about GMOs, glyphosate, and industrial agriculture
Why regenerative farming is the real climate solution
The massive impact of consumer choices and every dollar you spend
From backyards to Capitol Hill: how you can help save our soils

Key Takeaways from Louis:
• “Pay the farmer, or pay the doctor.”
• “The solutions aren’t in Silicon Valley—they’re in the soil.”
• “Every time you eat, you choose destruction or regeneration.”
• “Soil bacteria have more impact on your mood than your Instagram feed.”
