This is a recorded conversation (R-FUTURE 2025) between John Kempf and Matt about links between intensive pesticide use in agricultural regions and elevated rates of endocrine-related cancers and metabolic disease; personal farm-level experience shows cessation of pesticide use (transition begun ~2005, completed 2006) improved crop health and community uptake. They describe Advanced Eco Agriculture (AEA) / Regen Academy evolving into Kind Harvest (a paid community platform) and advocate biofortification (adding selenium, iodine, boron, magnesium and other minerals to soils/food) as a proactive public-health strategy to increase disease resistance.
