PMR #232: How Aggressively Organic Is Changing the Way We Grow and Eat Vegetables, with Jonathan Partlow

This week we welcome the founder and CEO of Aggressively Organic, Jonathan Partlow. This new company is aiming to put an end to factory farming and the unsustainable food practices we see in the modern world by supplying customers with small scale vegetable and herb gardens that can be grown in any home. We talk to Jonathan about what inspired the creation of this business and the underlying philosophy behind it. He explains the centrality of food to any global crisis and how this may be averted in a modern context. From there, he goes on to tell us about the specifications of the product and services offered by Aggressively Organic and some of the details around what it takes to run one of the victory gardens. For a truly inspiring conversation from a dedicated change agent, be sure to tune in and hear what Jonathan has to say!
