What if you spent 38 years developing pesticides, only to later realize the industry never told you the full story?

That’s exactly what happened to Herb Young, a retired plant pathologist who spent nearly four decades in industrial agriculture before discovering the science Big Ag had ignored all along: soil health, microbes, and nutrient density.

In this episode of Tomorrow’s Bites, Herb shares his eye-opening journey from the chemical labs of Big Ag to running his own regenerative citrus farm in Florida. He explains how understanding soil life transformed not only his farm but also his beliefs about food, farming, and health.

You will find in this episode:

Why the term “regenerative” was never once mentioned in his 38-year career
How industrial farming practices quietly destroyed soil health
The shocking difference in nutrient density between regenerative and conventional fruit
How microbes (not fertilizers) build flavor, resilience, and nutrition
What happens when a lifelong scientist applies research rigor to regeneration

And much more...
