The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

[George Collins]

In this video, Michael Pollan lectures on his book The Omnivore's Dilemma. While the entirety of the lecture is good, towards the end it gets particularly so as Mr. Pollan relates his experiences and thoughts on having spent a week on Joel Salatin's Polyface farm. Mr. Pollan was quite obviously in awe about what he saw. Prior to his visit, he stated that he had always assumed that any form of agricultural endeavor would always leave a piece of land a little more degraded each year. After seeing Polyface farms though, he describes an intense amount of yearly agricultural production that instead, through an intelligent modeling of natural, symbiotic relationships, left the land progressively richer with each growing season.

Thank you George. We watched it last night and have been talking about it all day. It makes me more eager to grow our own food.
