Will Harris is on a mission to help save the world. He inherited a highly profitable, conventionally run farm from his ancestors. After many years, he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and small-town devastation. He decided to make a change to the land on the ground level. He joined me on Uncorking a Story to discuss his memoir A BOLD RETURN TO GIVING A DAMN: One Farm, Six Generations, and the Future of Food in which he shares his groundbreaking, inspiring, and authoritative environmental call to action where he explores the link between food, health, and climate change.
Will Harris is on a mission to help save the world through his work at White Oak Pastures. This mission drives his passion and dedication to sustainable farming practices. The link between food, health, and climate change is a significant focus for Will. He highlights the need for a shift away from industrialized thinking in food production and the impact it has on our health and the environment. Will discusses the transformation of Bluffton, from a prosperous farming town to a small industrial hub. This transformation raises questions about leadership succession and the future of the community. Will's memoir delves into his experiences and the importance of returning to a more sustainable approach to farming. The book is available for purchase and provides further insights into his work.
