Better Health from the Ground Up with Matt Moreland

Our hosts Katie Stebbins, Ellen Brown, and Carter Williams are joined by guest Matt Moreland of Moreland Farms. The group discusses current agricultural trends and challenges, including the integration of the supply chain and the tension between overproduction of commodity crops and the growing demand for specialized, higher-quality agricultural products. They explore the potential role of food in improving public health, especially in light of rising health care costs and the increasing use of GLP-1 medications for obesity. The podcast also covers the need for innovation in farming practices, such as integrating livestock, and the broader impact of these practices on climate and health systems. The conversation emphasizes how changes in the food system can drive better health outcomes and create new economic opportunities.
