Field Recordings

Plants that can hear themselves being eaten. Microphone-equipped
drones that eavesdrop on sick chickens. Lasers that detect an
insect’s wing-beats from dozens of feet away. In this James
Bond-inspired episode of Gastropod, we listen to the soundtrack of
farming, decode the meaning hidden in each squawk, moo, and buzz,
and learn how we can use that information to improve our food in
the future. Tune in now for this special broadcast of the barnyard
orchestra! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
