Ranchers in Point Reyes, California are being forced to close their operations after over 150 years of multigenerational farming practices. This raises serious questions about our state’s environmental priorities. How should we think about the impacts of farming practices on ecosystems, and why should everyone across California pay attention to what’s happening in Point Reyes? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we are diving into who the Point Reyes farmers are, how to balance environmental goals with human life, and why you should care, on this week’s episode of The California Conversation!
