Manage episode 490890658 series 2915918
The MisFitNation with Rich LaMonica welcomes Combat Veteran AJ Richards, a former CrossFit gym owner, sixth-generation rancher, and food sovereignty advocate on a mission to decentralize the American food supply chain. AJ’s journey began when the 2020 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our food system. What started as selling his family's beef direct-to-consumer evolved into managing a USDA meat plant in Wyoming, where he uncovered the real issue: ✅ Farmers and ranchers produce high-quality food, but middlemen control the system. ✅ Consumers are paying more, while producers make less. ✅ The system is broken, but there’s a solution! 💡 That solution? From The Farm – AJ’s digital farmers market connecting consumers directly with food producers, cutting out the middlemen and putting more power back in the hands of farmers, ranchers, and YOU. In this episode, we’ll discuss: 🥩 How the modern food supply chain is failing us 🌾 Why local, transparent food systems matter 💪 What you can do TODAY to take control of your food sources 🔥 The real reason food sovereignty is the key to a healthier, stronger America AJ’s motto? 💬 “Shake The Hand That Feeds You.” And after this episode, you’ll understand exactly why that matters.
