In this eye-opening episode of Security Halt!, host Deny Caballero sits down with Patrick Samuels — veteran entrepreneur, farmer, and advocate for sustainable agriculture — to unpack the hard truths behind the modern food industry.

From misleading “pasture-raised” labels to the decentralization of food production, Patrick shares his journey from Special Forces to regenerative farming — and why local food systems may be the key to community health and resilience.

This conversation dives deep into:

• Entrepreneurship in agriculture and lessons learned from failure

• How local farming builds stronger communities
• Fair wages for farmers and the broken food economy
• The healing power of nature and reconnection to our food
