Jack Algiere, farm director at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, manages and cares for all agricultural production at the four-season farm. In this video with Sonima’s founder, Sonia Jones, Algiere describes one of his passion projects: seed trials to create beautiful crops with integrity over time. Most food production today, says Algiere, is specialized, where most farms do one thing very well, which can tend to be disempowering. Algiere is interested in cultivating a crop over time to select for the best possible outcome. Watch this video to learn more about some of his favorite work at Stone Barns.
