Happy Earth Day! Sarah speaks with one of the visionary leaders in the climate-smart agriculture space, A.G. Kawamura. They talk about the strong partnerships between farmers, growers and producers and their local foodbanks, the U.N. sustainable development goals, and what A.G. calls the agricultural renaissance. They discuss what investments farmers need in the 2023 Farm Bill to continue making strides toward more sustainable agriculture, where we work with the land instead of against it.
