Toni Farmer's Garden: The Podcast: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Toni Farmer
Our food system is in crisis, and the point of this podcast is to, one, keep you informed, and two, try and save it. There are three factors fueling our current food crisis: cost, access and climate change. They've been building for years, you just didn’t know it…because life moves fast. With everything going on, how can you keep track of it all? You can't. But I – and people like me – do. So each week, I’m going to talk with another industry expert to help you understand the causes behind our broken system. Let's talk about it...

Fish fertilizer: A must-have, not a nice-to-have for the garden
Adding fish (fertilizer) to your garden? That's the family business. Toni talks to Ann Molloy about her family's business: Neptune's Harvest.

Why your fertilizer isn't helping your home garden
If you feel like your home garden is becoming an uphill battle, you're not alone. A few years ago, Toni thought her garden had hit its peak. But then she focused on her soil's microbiome (don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds), and everything changed. Today, ag-tech companies are jumping onto the soil microbiome trend and slowly but surely, new fertilizer products are hitting the shelves to help your gardens be stronger, not weaker. Toni sat down with Omar Al-Shafie, CEO of Teregen Ag, to talk about their new product. New episodes of Toni Farmer's Garden: The Podcast available every other Wednesday.

So Toni chatted with Melissa to get the inside scoop on what's landing on your kids' plates during lunch time.
