In this exclusive Sessions interview, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Joel Salatin discuss the modern pathway to farming as a career and lifestyle, how modular farms have revolutionized startups, the grit and attention necessary for success, and why the sacrifice might be the most worthwhile change you could make in your life. Become a farmer, shape the world.

Joel Salatin, dubbed the "Lunatic Farmer," is a Christian libertarian environmentalist and one of the most outspoken voices in regenerative agriculture. Co-owner of Polyface Farm in Virginia, he supplies thousands with pasture-raised meats and teaches sustainable farming worldwide. With 16 books, such as “The Omnivore’s Dilemma," countless columns, and a wildly engaging speaking style, Salatin blends mischief, grit, and deep cultural insight to challenge how we think about food, freedom, and stewardship of the land.
