I\\u2019m a big believer in the farm to table movement, but with one major caveat: you can\\u2019t skim the cream! What I\\u2019m saying is that we can\\u2019t cherry pick when it comes to our crops, growing the same ones over and over (even if they\'re grown organically), and assume that it is a sound ecological practice. Just like humans need a diversity of foods to get the right nutrients, soil needs a diversity of plants grown on it and even the right animal inputs in order to be nutrient dense, too. On this episode of The Doctor\\u2019s Farmacy, I\\u2019m joined by mastermind chef and regenerative agriculture advocate Dan Barber.

Dan is breaking the conventional ways we eat, cook, and think about food. He is the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and the author of The Third Plate. He also co-founded Row 7 Seed Company, a seed company bringing together chefs and plant breeders in the development of new varieties of vegetables and grains. Dan has received multiple James Beard awards including Best Chef: New York City (2006) and the country\'s Outstanding Chef (2009). In this episode, it\\u2019s clear how mutually passionate Dan and I are about changing the current food system and doing so in a way that promotes health and supports the environment.
