Searching for Farming's Future in Its Past is part of a series produced by Rachel Leventhal about the impact individuals can make on their world.
Jonathan and Nina White own the Bobolink Dairy in Vernon, New Jersey, where they make artisanal grass-fed cheese and wood-fired bread, and are de-industrializing farming before our planet runs out of food –- or are trying to. The Whites have proven that sustainable farming can be profitable. But a bigger question looms: How do you make sustainable farming, well, sustainable?
