Heritage Farm Animals The Housing Hour
Special Guest
Jeannette Beranger
Senior Program Manager –The Livestock Conservancy
Jeannette Beranger joins The Housing Hour this week to discuss heritage farm animals and their delectable contributions to holiday cuisine traditions.
Jeanette also explains one of the most important agricultural issues facing our world “The protection of endangered livestock and poultry breeds from extinction”!
Many of America’s once-common farm animals face extinction if we do not take action now. Rare farm animals represent an irreplaceable piece of earth’s biodiversity and offer an incredible variety that may be needed for future farms – robust health, mothering instincts, foraging, and the ability to thrive in a changing climate. These farm animals are a vital part of ensuring food security for our planet – now and for the future.
