When we begin our move into a more sustainable life, we can be so quickly reeled into the idea that consuming animal products and byproducts are bad; that we should be into much more plant-based food, but what if that isn\\u2019t the big picture?

In this episode, I have Ryland Engelhart, producer of Netflix\\u2019s Kiss the Ground, which is a documentary that focuses on our soil health situation. He shares with us what we need to do to keep our soils diverse, and how we can contribute as soil advocates.

Being earth-conscious is more than just consuming plant-based choices, it\\u2019s contributing and supporting industries and farmers that work in the most sustainable and natural ways to keep our soil healthy and rich.
