Michael Ableman - farmer, writer, photographer and educator - set out on a cross country trip at the height of harvest time to visit America’s farmers on their own turf. He chronicles his experiences in the new book: Fields of Plenty: A Farmer’s Journey in Search of Real Food and the People Who Grow It.
This week, join host Jerry Kay in conversation with Ableman and find out what he saw and heard at the front lines of small scale agriculture and hear his predictions on the future of food and farming.
