Many of us are able to buy quality vegetables in enough quantity to satisfy our hunger. It's so easy we may become convinced that the world doesn't need animal products to survive. But what about those who live in isolated places who don't have these privileges? What about those who can't grow a big variety of vegetables in enough quantity to have a balanced diet and keep hunger at bay? Cue the chickens. Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin makes the case in today's episode for a poultry-centered regenerative agriculture model that has the power to shift food inequalities and cultivate health. A chicken laying eggs can make all the difference for a family on the brink of malnutrition, and quite probably bridge the gap between life and death.
Today, Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin, author and fair trade advocate, tells his own story—how chickens saved his life as a small child in Guatemala, and how he is applying this nature-centered agricultural knowledge (and knowledge of poultry, in particular) to today's farming strategies. Learn how this chicken revolution is quietly transforming the food landscape in countries around the world.
