Benefits Of Having Chickens In Urban Areas
Joe Rogan Experience podcast, farmer and writer Joel Salatin talks about the benefits of having chickens in urban areas. Salatin mentions an example of a city in Belgium that provided three chickens per household, resulting in a significant decrease in food waste and potentially rendering the egg industry unnecessary if one in three households had enough chickens to eat their kitchen scraps. Salatin emphasizes the power of integrating resources and putting things in close proximity.
