As the Quality of Life Rep for Southern SARE's Administrative Council and a professor of sociology, Doug Constance is constantly thinking about how current policies, cultural norms, and industry trends are affecting farmers and their communities. For this episode, he chats with Beth Nelson, Associate Professor of Biosystems Engineering at University of Minnesota and the Director of North Central SARE’s Research and Education Programs. They discuss extending sustainability beyond soil and crops to the people and communities most impacted by our country's agricultural practices.
