What does regenerative agriculture really mean—and why does it matter? In this episode of Fresh Take, host JC Rodriguez sits down with Dr. Kendra Klein, Deputy Director for Science at Friends of the Earth, to unpack the science, stories, and social impact behind one of the most talked-about movements in food and farming.

We explore:

  • The true definition of regenerative agriculture
  • How it differs from organic and sustainable practices
  • The hidden cost of pesticides on soil health
  • Real-world techniques and success stories from farmers
  • The role of policy, advocacy, and consumer action in shaping the future of food

Whether you're a farmer, foodie, or climate-conscious citizen, this episode offers a grounded and inspiring look at how soil can be a solution to some of our biggest environmental challenges.
