Is society ready to move away from industrialization in favor of more environmentally responsible practices?

In this episode, Will Harris tells the story of how he revived a 130-year-old farming method. His episode was the most shared on the Joe Rogan Podcast, and it's clear why.

Their vertically integrated, zero-waste model requires 155+ people working together to care for the land and livestock.
