Kennedy and Trump say the off-ramp from chemical farming is simple: trade sprayers for lasers and robots.

In this episode, Joel Salatin and Dr. Sina put that promise under a microscope. They break down how weed lasers actually work and how that technology was, in part, built by us through clicking reCAPTCHA boxes.  Then Joel drops the sobering punchline: you can get rid of chemicals and still lose the farm. 

Also, by the end of this year, we will live in a world where your medical records are stored on your phone and sync with a grocery-store app that tells you what to buy.
