Episode 38: Growing essential oils the sustainable way
The world of essential oils isn’t inherently sustainable and rarely ethically sourced. The workers and the land itself are often treated with little respect in the name of short-term profitability. Katie Anselmi, master's student at Colorado Mesa University, got the opportunity to visit Fairoil farms in Kenya and work with the farmers that are trying to change that as they produce the oils used by doTERRA, a popular essential oil company. The farmers were battling inconsistent yield and had reached out to Katie’s advisor, Dr. Neil Hansen for help. In this episode, Katie discusses what they discovered on their trip to Kenya.
