The Permanent Agriculture Movement & FDR
Manage episode 405726663 series 2850812
Did you know that one time the United States almost accidentally stopped climate change and became a leading global force in defense of ecology? A unique confluence of events came together and presented an opportunity for the United States to protect itself and concurrently its soils as well.
In the 1930s, the permanent agriculture movement gained an advocate in the White House in the name Franklin D Roosevelt. It allowed some of the most radical policies to unfold in American agricultural history, but not without hiccups. In this episode, we chat about the explosion of the movement, as well as some of the darker undercurrents that tied progressive agricultural practices with racism and feudalisim.
