Chris Saaco with Groundswell International.
It’s no longer considered a thing of hippies and tree huggers running around professing conservation. Our planet is in danger. Mother earth has been more brutalized by humans in the last 100 years than in our entire existence. It’s now or never to get your head out of the sand and create a change. Today I sit down with Groundswell International Co-Founder, Chris Saaco, a non-profit organization making every attempt to scale global farming change, one village at a time. This is about education, awareness, and action. |
