In this episode of Canary in a Cornfield, I speak with Megan Hunter of Transfarmation and Tanner Faaborg of 1100 Farm about an initiative that helps farmers transition from factory farming to more sustainable practices. Megan discusses the project’s origins and goals, highlighting the importance of policy support and farmer solidarity. Tanner shares his personal journey, detailing how his family farm moved from hog CAFOs to growing specialty mushrooms. The conversation underscores the environmental impacts of current industrial animal agriculture practices, the challenges of gaining autonomy, and the importance of consumer support for local farmers.
