Water runs downhill. This is a problem for environmentalists and farmers. Environmentalists say water running off farms contaminates the environment and may turn babies blue; farmers say it’s impossible to prevent water from running off their farms. And so we ask…
Can we grow food and have a clean environment?
This Saturday at 9am Pacific, the Food Chain Radio show with Michael Olson hosts Science Professor Marc Los Huertos from California State University Monterey Bay for a conversation about the politics of water rules.
Topics include a look at the chemicals farmers use to grow their crops; how those chemicals runoff the farm into the environment; and whether water runoff rules just approved will allow farmers to grow crops.
