In this episode of the podcast, Chris Jones—retired University of Iowa water quality researcher and author of The Swine Republic—dives into the environmental realities of modern agriculture in Iowa and across the Corn Belt. From nitrate-contaminated drinking water and stream erosion to ethanol policy, CAFOs, and the loss of diversified farming systems, Jones delivers a candid look at how industrial agriculture has reshaped rural landscapes, public health, and water quality. He also explores what regenerative, diversified agriculture could look like moving forward—and why meaningful change may require both policy reform and a complete rethinking of the current system. This is a recording from Eco-Ag 2024!
