Healthy Farms, Healthy Bays with Ernie Shea 

In this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, we dive into the Healthy Farms, Healthy Bays initiative with Ernie Shea, President of Solutions from the Land. The conversation underscores the critical role of sustainable agriculture in achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and preserving Florida’s aquatic resources. Ernie emphasizes that modern agriculture must go beyond food and fiber production. He highlights the need for farmer-led leadership to be at the forefront of policy changes and the importance of valuing and compensating farmers for the ecosystem services they provide. Listeners will learn about actionable steps being taken to support sustainable farming practices, the formation of coalitions to advocate for policy changes, and the opportunities to engage with and support ongoing projects through the Solutions from the Land initiative. Join us to explore how healthy farms can lead to healthy bays and a healthier planet.
