Farming in California isn’t easy with rising costs, drought, and market pressures. But one farmer is rethinking rice farming with a centuries-old Japanese technique that uses ducks instead of chemicals. His approach cuts water use, improves soil health, and brings high-quality rice directly to schools and farmers’ markets.
In this episode, he shares how he transitioned from traditional farming to a direct-to-consumer model, navigating drought, supply chain struggles, and the challenges of organic agriculture. Could this be a model for sustainable farming in California?
