Whether you like it or not, there are ten times more bacterial cells in your body than human cells. Come learn about the unseen yet indispensable world of microorganisms as we trace them from soil to food to gut. What role do these tiny creatures play in your health, and in soil health? How are gut microbes affected by what you eat? Why have fermented foods long been important to traditional cultures? 

Moderator:
Dr. Daphne Miller, family physician and author of Farmacology and The Jungle Effect

Kathryn Lukas, kraut maven and founder of Farmhouse Culture;
Dr. Kate Scow, professor of soil science, soil microbial ecologist, and director of the Russell Ranch Sustainable Agriculture Facility
