Kate discusses her journey from vegetarianism to owning a butcher shop and starting the Groundwork Collective, all while managing a small farm. She shares her unique perspective on farming, ranching, and the future of food systems. Brian and Kate analyze the reductionism of the food system, the environmental impacts of mono-crops and alternative meats, and the effects of the Colorado River Compact on irrigation. They also touch on the importance of subsistence farming and the prevalence of food deserts in the US. Additionally, they consider the interconnectedness of the micro and macro, the responsibility of corporations in climate change, and the role of government in regulating business practices.
