Birke Baehr: What’s wrong with our food system

Posted on December 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Birke Baehr: What’s wrong with our food system

Birke Baehr wants us to know how our food is made, where it comes from, and what's in it. At age 11, he's planning a career as an organic farmer. added by: Vierotchka
