Season 5 Ep 3 -- China uses electricity to boost food production

Co-host links: The Real Food Chain Permaculture Plus Rich Bowden Writing World Organic News Rich and Jon talk about new research from China which shows the benefit of growing food in greenhouses under electrical currents. Sounds odd? Or does it have benefits that can be extrapolated to other countries. As we will hear, this isn't new technology, research has been done on the benefits of electricity on plants for over a century. But what about the soil microbes? And the leaf microbiome? Won't they be destroyed under the currents? We discuss this and more in this month's episode. Also Jon is welcomed back to Australia by Rich after his recent Irish adventures.
