A solution for small acreage farmers to flourish in an over regulated system.

EPOCH TV · American Thought Leaders | Jan Jekielek 🚨 Nearly all of the meat in America (99% of chickens, 98% of pigs, and 70% of cows) comes out of large-scale factory farms that are heavily dependent on antibiotics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
.
Fewer than 2% of farms reject chemical inputs and are actually rebuilding soil and ecosystems—rather than depleting them.
.
In response, Polyface Farms' regenerative farmer Joel Salatin argues that what America desperately needs is a Food Emancipation Proclamation.
.
His proposal is simple: remove the regulatory barriers that prevent small, chemical-free farms from innovating and selling directly to their neighbors.
.
Healthy, chemical-free local food prices would drop 30–40%, he says.
Ordinary families—not just the wealthy—would be able to afford real, healthy food.
Thousands of young farmers would finally be able to make a living on small acreage.
.
And millions of consumers would have the freedom to walk away from the industrial system.
