Description
Lentil Underground: A Story of Sustainable Farming in America
In the heart of America's Great Plains, a small family farm became a beacon of resistance against the conventional food system. David Oien, a young farmer, defied the advice of corporate agribusiness to plant a crop that would change the way he farmed forever: organic lentils. With their ability to make their own fertilizer and tolerate variable climate conditions, lentils offered a sustainable alternative to the chemically dependent grains that dominated the industry.
Today, Oien's story is part of a larger movement, led by a network of organic farmers who are working together to create a more sustainable food system. Journalist Liz Carlisle tells the story of this underground network, and the entrepreneurs who are bucking the trend of industrial agriculture. From the challenges they faced to the successes they achieved, their story is a testament to the power of innovation and determination.
