This week on Pod of Inquiry, Dr. Stephen Barrett sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Burke—a 46-year veteran of the natural products industry and Director of Education for Kokora—to uncover why regenerative farming may be our last hope for sustainable food, nutrition, and health.

🔎 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why organic farming still falls short compared to regenerative agriculture
• How modern farming practices have destroyed 50% of birds and 40% of insects
• The secret to why grocery store produce tastes like cardboard
• How a farm in Costa Rica boosted yields by 500% in one year
• The “Emmy Emmy” process that turns forest waste into soil gold 🌍
• Why soil health is the key to stronger, more effective herbal medicine

🌿 Why It Matters?

This isn’t just about farming—it’s about your nutrition, your supplements, and your health. The quality of our soil directly impacts the nutrient density of food and the healing power of plants.

👨‍🏫 Dr. Burke also shares how children today think food comes from “the back room of grocery stores”—and why this dangerous disconnect could shape the future of our health and food system.

👉 Don’t miss this powerful episode—it will change the way you look at food, medicine, and the soil beneath your feet.
