WWOOF Radio Interview

WWOOFING AROUND - 04.02.2007 (8.65 MB) Download Listen Now
Guests: Leo Goldsmith from WWOOF USA and WWOOFER Rebecca Rukeyser.
Subject: One tragedy of industrial agriculture is that it takes youth off the land and thrusts them into the city, where they find little or no meaningful employment. This leads us to ask, "Where can youth find real work?"
Topics include a history of WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms), how WWOOF makes it possible for young and old alike to work on farms and ranches around the world; and what kind of adventures WWOOFing brings.
