In his final episode, Shane interviews himself to help launch his new solo podcast: Zero Input Agriculture. Shane outlines his breeding work, successes with shifting to a zero input agricultural mindset, and efforts and experiences in building networks of local growers to start the long process of reviving agriculture that can stand the test of time.
