Hugh Kent | Breaking Their Own Laws: Hydroponics And The Farce Of USDA Organic integrity
Listen now
Description
#144: Real Organic blueberry farmer Hugh Kent of King Grover Organics in FL, explains the complete transformation of organic blueberry farming within the US and outside of its borders, that make up an increasing amount of USDA-certified "organic" berries in the produce sections of US stores. This shift, as he explains is not occurring because the USDA lacks awareness of the issue, but rather because they are encouraging this outcome. Hugh is addressing the crowd at the Saving Real Organic Conference at Churchtown Dairy in Hudson, NY on October 14, 2023. https://realorganicproject.org/hugh-kent-hydroponics-farce-of-usda-organic-integerity-episode-one-forty-four Watch the video version of this talk on our YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/JLYoN28RLvE To learn more about the Real Organic Project, why we exists and where you can find our farmers, please visit our website: https://realorganicproject.org/
