No More Pesticides

The Story Exchange

If you are worried about toxic chemicals in food, then this is the podcast for you. We head to Davis, California, to speak with Pam Marrone, the founder of natural pest control company Marrone Bio Innovations. She helps farmers use alternatives to harsh chemicals -- it's a rapidly growing sector called "biologicals." Pam is an entomologist by training and her early love for all things nature started in her mom's Connecticut garden. Now she runs a publicly traded company that makes millions of dollars -- and is helping farmers raise crops in an organic, sustainable way.
