Sarah Mock on Big Team Farming & Ag Narratives that Impede Food System Progress
This episode: for the 2022 BC Organic conference, our conference coordinator, Michelle Tsutsumi, interviewed Sarah Mock, author of Farm & Other F-Words, a book that challenges many of our cherished beliefs about farms and farming. Is the small, family-owned farm the 'ideal' farm? Are most forms of farming inherently exploitative? How might some of our ingrained values about farming be contributing to an unjust food system? Sarah and Michelle discuss these topics, and explore how a 'big team' approach to managing a farm might make for a healthier food system overall.
