About this listen
When Bob Quinn was a kid, a stranger at a county fair gave him a few kernels of an unusual grain. Little did he know, that grain would change his life. Years later, after finishing a PhD in plant biochemistry and returning to his family's farm in Montana, Bob started experimenting with organic wheat. In the beginning, his concern wasn't health or the environment; he just wanted to make a decent living and some chance encounters led him to organics.
But as demand for organics grew, so too did Bob's experiments. He discovered that through time-tested practices like cover cropping and crop rotation, he could produce successful yields - without pesticides. Regenerative organic farming allowed him to grow fruits and vegetables in cold, dry Montana, providing a source of local produce to families in his hometown. He even started producing his own renewable energy. And he learned that the grain he first tasted at the fair was actually a type of ancient wheat, one that was proven to lower inflammation rather than worsening it, as modern wheat does.
Ultimately, Bob's forays with organics turned into a multimillion dollar heirloom grain company, Kamut International.

Excellent book
Bob Quinn is an amazing man. He is a model for all business men / farmers. If everyone in the food production business were like him, the world would be a much better place. Thank you for your work Mr. Quinn. Thank you for Kamut.

Important story
Bob Quinn is a visionary. Great story and living illustration of how we need to use nature, entrepreneurial thinking and the economic systems to serve our societies needs. Clearly the world will not fall apart if we go organic. Worth a listen.
