In this second episode of the season, we’re joined by Dane Hague, CEO & Co-Founder of MyLand.

Dane openly shares his origin story, moving from a successful corporate legal career into co-founding a soil health company that harnesses microalgae.

He describes how we got to the stage of unfarmable land, with heavy industrial and commercial farming activity stripping out the life from soil.

The co-founder discusses the dire situation of farmland being abandoned at an alarming rate, and the impact of unhealthy soil on water. In his words, Dane says that we can’t solve the water crisis without thinking about soil.

He also talks about engaging in dialogue with farmers and why bombarding them with data isn’t the answer.

Personally, the topic of soil health was new to me and as a result, I found this episode and conversation with Dane so interesting, and perhaps alarming at the same time. 

We’re interested to know what you also think on this topic.
