VOICED: Farmer Joel thinks global, grows local

The video discusses a farm that rejects chemical fertilizers and GMOs, promoting natural and locally grown food. It critiques the industrial food system and highlights the farm's philosophy of being 'beyond organic,' emphasizing natural practices without government certification. The financial impact of these practices on consumers is addressed, with higher prices justified by the absence of hidden costs like pollution. The farm's philosophy opposes industrial agricultural methods, advocating for small-scale, local farming. The growth of farmers markets, including one near the White House, reflects increasing consumer interest in this approach.
