Wilderness Abandonment (with Joel Salatin)

The radical ideology of wilderness abandonment is getting misapplied to our public and private land.

We are seeing the unfortunate consequences of the "hands off" ecological approach. Everything from beetlekill in Colorado to California burning wildly out of control. Still, we persist in our belief that we need to keep our hands off the land. Rather than use our opposable thumbs for good, we just need to stay off entirely.

We are losing farmland to wilderness at a frightening pace in our country. 3 acres every 60 seconds. At that rate, our farm would be gone in 2.5 hours.

Is there any alternative to this madness? Can we produce food in a way that heals the land rather than destroys it? Is land better off being abandoned?
