Long-time farmer explains why Big Agriculture is getting it all wrong.
Plus... he chimes in on Bill Gates becoming the largest farm owner in America.
Farmer Harris talks to Joe Rogan, Children’s Health Defense
Worried about our food and our farming industry? Most people understand: decades of pesticides, GMOs, chemical processes and industry farming have made food very much not as nature intended.
Joe Rogan interviews Farmer Harris, a 4th generation farmer, about what Big Ag is getting wrong in regenerative farming:
“The centralization of food production impoverishes our rural communities as it creates an oligopoly. This centralization of food production is also bad for consumers. This system lacks resilience.
“When mega-production facilities that are focused on efficiency break down, consumers’ access to food can become limited, which causes panic. This state of panic allows multinational companies to increase their profits exponentially.
“When the driving goal of our food production system is efficiency, as opposed to resiliency, consumers suffer.”
Farmer Harris also spoke to his local Georgia station about why he thinks it’s dangerous that Bill Gates is the world’s largest farmland owner. But mainstream media publication, Vox, thinks Bill’s land grab is no big deal.

Speaking of… “Who is Bill Gates?”
The Corbett Report’s James Corbett, a long time Canadian investigative journalist living in Asia, created a fascinating 3-part documentary series in 2020 on Bill Gates. It’s fascinating and well worth spending the time watching. Corbett, highly respected in the independent journalist world, is a delight to listen to in his calm voice.
