Joel Salatin, one of the world’s most influential regenerative farmers and founder of Polyface Farm, joins Live and Let Live to explore why today’s food system is failing—and how freedom, entrepreneurship, and stewardship could restore both human health and the natural world.In this conversation, Joel explains why industrial agriculture has become increasingly centralized, why small farmers struggle to survive under modern regulations, and why he believes food freedom is essential for resilient communities. From property rights and pollution to regenerative farming, entrepreneurship, subsidies, and the Food Emancipation Proclamation, Joel lays out a compelling vision for a healthier, freer, and more abundant future.Robbie and Joel discuss common law environmental protection, food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, government subsidies, monopolies in the food industry, entrepreneurship, voluntary exchange, education, healthcare, philanthropy, taxation, and why humans have the potential to become the greatest stewards the planet has ever known. They also explore how decentralized food systems could improve both environmental outcomes and human flourishing.Live and Let Live is a movement grounded in the belief that peace on earth is possible when we commit to equal freedom under the law and choose to treat one another with excellence.Learn more about Live and Let Live:https://liveandletlive.org/Join the movement and stay connected:https://liveandletlive.org/get-involved/Support the mission with a donation:https://liveandletlive.org/donate/Learn more about Joel Salatin and Polyface Farm:https://polyfacefarms.com/Joel’s books:https://polyfacefarms.com/books/Polyface Farm online store:https://polyfacefarms.com/store/Polyface Farm events and seminars:https://polyfacefarms.com/events/Subscribe for more conversations on freedom, peace, regenerative agriculture, and the Live and Let Live philosophy.In this video:• Why today’s food system is fundamentally unsustainable• The case for Joel’s Food Emancipation Proclamation• How regulations favor industrial agriculture over small farms• Property rights as the missing solution to environmental protection• Why subsidies distort farming and food production• Regenerative agriculture and restoring soil, water, and biodiversity• Entrepreneurship, food freedom, and resilient local communities• Education, healthcare, and voluntary solutions• Stewardship, Christianity, and humanity’s role in restoring nature• A vision for a freer, healthier, and more abundant futureAbout Joel Salatin:Joel Salatin is a regenerative farmer, author, and founder of Polyface Farm in Virginia.
