On the November 24th edition of Your Call, we will have a conversation with professor Julie Guthman, author of Agrarian Dreams: The Paradox of Organic Farming in California.” Guthman says organic farmers are under the same pressures and make many of the same choices as conventional farmers. So what does organic mean now? Is buying organic still a powerful way to change our agricultural system? Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Matt Martin, and you.
