Cultivating Place: Vital Energy: Omar Al Shafie on innovative re-thinking and growing

Spring is stirring, buds are swelling, and soil is warming.

This week, we celebrate the joys of healthy living soil in conversation with Omar Al Shafie, co-founder of Northern California-based Teregen Ag, a purpose-driven, innovative soil and plant nutrient producer and researcher dedicated to advancing our collective transition toward sustainable, regenerative farming. Listen in!
