MENGENAI EPISOD INI
In the opening episode, host of The Invisible Ingredient Blair Beattie sits down with Zach Bush MD - physician, educator, and co-founder of Farmer’s Footprint - to explore how one chemical came to define modern agriculture and what it’s prevalence reveals about our disconnection from nature.
Alongside reflections from the Farmer’s Footprint team, this episode introduces the vision behind a global campaign to make glyphosate infamous, and spark a movement toward awareness and regeneration. Together, Blair and Zach trace glyphosate’s origins from post-war industry to today’s food system, uncovering its impact on soil, health, and the human spirit. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners into a conversation - and a movement - seeking to move beyond the pesticide treadmill toward a more connected, regenerative future.
