Are Animals a Part of Sustainability? 

In contrast to the sustainability lecture I posted last week, this speaker takes a different approach.  Joel Salatin is the owner of Polyface farm. Rather than shun animals as Bittman implied last week, all the while saying he was not saying that, Salatin incorporates them into his farm. Unfortunately this lecture does not allow us to see the slides.

I wonder how many of those that advocate sustainability actually know anything about farming? Salatin does. What he says, based on my ten years of ranching, make sense.

On a personal level, since I live on a rock, I need a greenhouse.

Salatin is an enjoyable speaker and well worth your time.
