“I often say that the only choice we don't have in such a connected world, the only choice we don't have is whether to change the world--because every act we take and don't take is sending out ripples and we'll never know the impact of our choices.”This week on Earth Eats, a conversation with Frances Moore Lappé. She's the acclaimed author of the groundbreaking book, Diet for a Small Planet, which turned 50 years old in 2021. She's co-founder (with her daughter Anna Lappé) of the Small Planet Institute: living democracy, feeding hope. Lappe has continued the work she began a half-century ago, of bringing analysis and insight to the study of our food systems and how they need to change for our own health and for the health of the planet.

Dani kicks off a new year of Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg by sitting down with Kim Severson, an award-winning national food correspondent for the New York Times, to talk about what to expect for food and agriculture systems in 2025. They discuss what's happening to portion sizes in restaurants as GLP-1s like Ozempic become more popular; how the changing political landscape in the U.S. may impact everything from agricultural research to the future of journalism; and the foods and flavors that Severson expects to see more of, including why 2025 is the year of sauce. Plus, a few of Food Talk's guests from 2024 return to the podcast to share their hopes for food and agriculture systems in the new year. Hear from Saru Jayaraman of One Fair Wage, Edie Mukiibi of Slow Food International, author and journalist Roger Thurow, Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson of the University of Arizona, Anna Lappé of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, and Regina Harmon of Food Recovery Network.

If you're a climate-conscious person, you likely already know some of the main ways you can reduce your contribution to greenhouse gasses: buy less, eat less meat, ride your bike. But there are other, less obvious methods we don't always think of: voting, having climate conversations, engaging with your local government, changing where your money is invested. And while our role as individuals does matter, we're more powerful when we work together in collective action. Guests:  Jon Foley, Executive Director, Project Drawdown Eliza Nemser, Executive Director, Climate Changemakers This episode also features excerpts from Cory Booker, Anna Lappé, Frances Moore Lappé, Saul Griffith, Monique Figueiredo, Jonathan Chapman, Jennifer Anderson, Tanya Gulliver Garcia, Vernon Walker, Abrar Anwar, Slater Jewell-Kemker, Kyle Gracey and Alec Loorz.

On “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg,” Dani speaks with Anna Lappé, Executive Director of the Global Alliance for the Future of Food. They discuss how philanthropists can work in partnership with food producers to drive positive food systems transformation, the link between the fossil fuel industry and global food and agriculture systems, and why Lappé thinks of herself as neither an optimist nor a pessimist, but a possibilist.

Episode 50: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about a new report on pesticides called "Merchants of Death". The authors, Stacy Malkan, Kendra Klein, and Anna Lappé, show that the pesticide industry has used disinformation, and a PR strategy including institutions, and often, the same individual players as that of the fossil fuel industry. In 2015, glyphosate was designated as a probable carcinogen by the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Recent science has also linked glyphosate to lower birth weights among babies, reproductive health impacts, and other serious health concerns.  Turning to a related environmental issue. Did you know insect and bird populations are declining?  They are.  You can be part of the solution by creating more habitat for birds by planting native species and not overly tidying your yard. In recent years, conservation-minded landscapers came up with new ideas on the way yards should look. Consider starting a trend and make your back or front yard a real wildlife habitat.

On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast, Stacy Malkan and Zach discuss Stacy's 100+ page report 'Merchants of Poison: How Monsanto Sold The World On A Toxic Pesticide,' science denial in the pesticide industry, how Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) manipulated the science around glyphosate (Roundup) and co-opted academia, the attacks Stacy and other journalists faced who exposed the pesticide industry, Bill Gates' harmful agricultural interventions in Africa, the "destructive pesticide treadmill," what makes a person truly evil, and more. Guest Bio: Stacy Malkan is co-founder and managing editor of U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative research group working globally to expose corporate wrongdoing and government failures that threaten our health, environment and food system. She investigates and reports on pesticide and food industry PR and lobbying operations. Stacy recently wrote a report with Anna Lappé and Kendra Klein, Ph.D titled 'Merchants of Poison: How Monsanto Sold the World on a Toxic Pesticide.' STACY MALKAN LINKS:Merchants Of Poison (Full Report): https://bit.ly/3Kzy7MSUS Right To Know: https://usrtk.org/Bio: https://usrtk.org/stacy-malkan/Twitter: https://twitter.com/safecosmeticsNot Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry: https://amzn.to/3zD6gow THE AUXORO PODCAST LINKS:Apple: https://apple.co/3B4fYju Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3zaS6sPOvercast: https://bit.ly/3rgw70DYoutube: https://bit.ly/3lTpJdjWebsite: https://www.auxoro.com/ AUXORO SOCIAL LINKS:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auxoroYouTube: https://bit.ly/3CLjEqFFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/auxoromagNewsletter: https://www.auxoro.com/thesourceYouTube: https://bit.ly/3CLjEqF If you enjoy the show, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts.

Producer: Pepin Mittelhauser Frances Moore Lappé Author, Activist and Co-Founder of Small Planet Institute and Food First “Connecting our Food Choices to Humanity's Biggest Challenges” Frances Moore Lappé is the author or coauthor of 20 books, many focusing on themes of “living democracy” — suggesting a government accountable to citizens and a way of living aligned with the deep human need for connection, meaning and power. Her first book, “Diet for a Small Planet” published in 1971, has now sold three million copies. Lappé's latest work is the 50th anniversary edition of “Diet for a Small Planet,” released in 2021. In this book Lappé integrates her life's work of connecting food to freedom, including timely material from her 2017 book co-authored with Adam Eichen, “Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want.” Lappé is co-founder of Oakland-based Food First and the Cambridge-based Small Planet Institute, which she leads with her daughter, Anna Lappé. The recipient of 20 honorary degrees, she has been a visiting scholar at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of California, Berkeley, and in 1987 received the Right Livelihood Award, often called the “Alternative Nobel.” She says, “In my keynote address to the Common Ground Country Fair I will talk about how the food choices we make each day connect us to humanity's biggest challenges, from needless hunger to diet-related disease to the climate crisis and the undermining of democracy. Making these connections, we can fight despair and discover our power. I'll share my journey of discovery — from my first ‘ah-ha' that scarcity is not the cause of hunger to stories of self-empowered communities that have overcome hunger as they align with the Earth via regenerative practices. I will bring these lessons home, exploring solutions via what I call ‘living democracy.'” The post 2022 Common Ground Fair Keynote Speaker (Saturday 9/25/22): Frances Moore Lappé first appeared on WERU 89.9 FM Blue Hill, Maine Local News and Public Affairs Archives.

Agroecology applies ecological principles to agriculture, and it's a key strategy for mitigating--and adapting to climate change--which also boosts biodiversity and food security--and it is the focus of a special series at Mongabay. Joining us first to discuss agroecology as a science, a practice, and a movement is Dr. Maywa Montenegro, an assistant professor of environmental studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Then host Mike G. speaks with iconic Indian scientist, activist and Right Livelihood Award winner Dr. Vandana Shiva, whose brand new book, Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture: Sustainable Solutions for Hunger, Poverty, and Climate Change, synthesizes decades of agroecology research and implementation. She's also the founder of Navdanya, which is both an agroecology center and a global food sovereignty movement. Dr. Shiva shares how agroecology is an effective solution not just to climate change but also for a host of other ecological crises we're facing, such as water scarcity, land degradation, nutrition and biodiversity loss.

This week, we'll hear from Frances Moore Lappé, whose groundbreaking book “Diet for a Small Planet” was controversial when it first came out in 1971.  World hunger was a major news topic and a genuine concern; many believed there simply wasn't enough food to feed the planet.  But Lappé argued that hunger wasn't caused by a scarcity of food, but a scarcity of power among those who go hungry.  She believed democracy – and a plant-centered diet – could solve the problem.  On September 9, 2021, Frances Moore Lappé spoke to her daughter, Anna Lappé, about what drove her to write the book, and what she's learned in the intervening 50 years.  Anna Lappé is also an author and an advocate for sustainability and food justice.

This September marks the 50th anniversary of the seminal work Diet for a Small Planet, in which Frances Moore Lappé argued that cattle constitute “a protein factory in reverse.” Lappé's book inspired countless people to adopt vegetarian diets for environmental reasons.  But in the last 50 years the industrial food systems in America have only grown bigger and more concentrated, and – as the Lappés would argue – more powerful. Together with her daughter Anna Lappé, author of Diet for a Hot Planet, the two now focus on the intersections between democracy, environment, food, and justice.  “It's really important that we understand that in order to change our food environment, we need to really work to get money out of politics, and we really need to work on how to take on that kind of consolidated power in the industry,” Anna Lappé says.   Guests: Frances Moore Lappé, author, Diet for a Small Planet  Anna Lappé, author, Diet for a Hot Planet Analena Hope Hassberg, Associate Professor, Ethnic and Women's Studies Department, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Ruth Richardson, Executive Director, Global Alliance for the Future of Food Learn more about your ad choices.

The story of humankind is usually told as one of technological innovation and economic influence—of arrowheads and atomic bombs, settlers and stock markets. But behind it all, there is an even more fundamental driver: food. In this episode, Anna Lappé and Mark Bittman dive into how food has shaped our past, but also how we can transform it to reclaim our future.

Together with TNS Host and Author Anna Lappé, Rupa and A-dae will share strategies toward a vision to protect and uplift Native agro-ecological traditions, including efforts to rematriate thousands of acres of land across the country.

~Co-presented with Real Food Media~ Just about twenty years ago, several dozen of the nation’s leading scientists, ethicists, and environmentalists gathered in Bolinas, California, at Commonweal to draft a declaration of principles for the regulation, policy, and commercialization of the emerging technologies of genetically engineered organisms. The result? The Pacific Declaration. Now, two decades later, with the rapid expansion of genetically engineered organisms throughout the food system and emergent in animal agriculture and beyond, the wisdom—and caution—of The Pacific Declaration is just as relevant; its words prescient. To mark this anniversary milestone and reflect on the current context and what we can learn from this history, join us in a conversation with Anna Lappé—the daughter of one of the Declaration’s founding signatories—as well as author Claire Cummings, The Center for Food Safety’s Rebecca Spector, The Cultural Conservancy’s Melissa Nelson, and others at the forefront of the conversation about genetic engineering and the future of food. Anna Lappé is a national bestselling author, a respected advocate for food justice and sustainability, and an advisor to funders investing in food system transformation. A recipient of the James Beard Leadership Award, Anna is the co-author or author of three books and the contributing author to more than a dozen others. Anna’s work has been translated internationally and featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, Gourmet, Oprah Magazine, among many other outlets. A frequent public speaker, her popular TEDx talks have been watched nearly one million times.

Anna Lappé, and I discuss Diet for a Hot Planet, her book about the challenges and opportunities presented by helping solve the climate crisis by changing the food system. We uncover and debunk myths about the way food can be grown today and in the future. Anna’s mom, Frances Moore Lappé, wrote the 1971 book Diet for a Small Planet which revolutionized the way we think about food and democracy. Together Anna and Frances co-founded the small planet institute, an international network focused on root causes of hunger and poverty and co-wrote Hope's Edge.

The state of our nation’s food industry is in complete disarray. From pesticide use to over-farming to ads for sugar-laden drinks and snacks targeting our children, we need to completely overhaul the system. is here to talk about food sustainability, health, and justice. Anna is a best-selling author and advocate for food justice and sustainability who is working to implement systemic changes to improve our food chain. While she’s making a lot of positive impacts and helping people realize the role they play in the food system, many don’t believe they can afford to eat healthy food. Anna knows that the real issue isn’t the cost of food: it’s the policies around housing, healthcare, and food, including the cost of living and what constitutes an actual living wage. Anna explains how the food industry has ended up in its current state of crisis. Sadly, it’s had a lot of influence from chemical companies and other industries seeking to keep the nation in the state that it’s in. She shares what we can do, as consumers, to help change the industry. Unfortunately, our current society isn’t truly built to allow us total control over our food choices. Unlike the European Union, America hasn’t banned many toxic chemicals, artificial flavorings, and antibiotics that seriously impact the quality of the food. We also don’t have easy access to fresh food markets like many European countries do. The biggest question Anna gets asked is where you’re supposed to find the time to create healthy meals for your family when you work full-time, have a commute, and frankly can’t afford a lot of the healthier choices. Anna has a lot of empathy for parents in this situation and encourages batch cooking and freezing of easy meals you can make when you’re short on time. Anna also explains what impact pesticide use is having on our nation’s biodiversity. We are in a state of crisis: from the very real climate threat to the insect population being just half of what it once was.  It’s not all doom and gloom, though. Anna shares who her most unlikely partners are - farmers making complete organic changes to the way they farm. She also tells us how we can start to improve our and our family’s diets starting today. Do you eat organic food? How can you be a more conscious consumer? What ways can you start building your family’s healthy eating habits?   In This Episode: Why the cost of food isn’t the main issue; we need to look at the policies around housing, healthcare, and food How the food industry and nutrition has gotten into the state it’s currently in What you can do as a consumer to help change the food industry What impact our built and economic environments have on our food choices Where you can find the time to make healthy meals for your family What impact pesticide use is having on our nation’s biodiversity Where you can start to improve your diet   Quotes: “The real crisis in our food system isn’t a crisis in our food system, it’s a crisis in our democracy.” (4:14) “None of us, as individuals, should feel any sense of failure if we’re unable to make the meals we dream of having with our families.” (35:00) “The level at which we use pesticides in this country is creating a crisis for public health as well as for biodiversity, which I would argue is at the basis of public health.” (45:46) Links Find Anna Lappé on         Find Powerful Conversations on | | |

Author, editor-in-chief of Heated, and former New York Times columnist Mark Bittman talks about what it means for food to be “good,” how to know it's good, buy it and cook it. He guides us to think deeply about the food system and how it can be improved. Bittman is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his generation-defining cookbook How to Cook Everything, the definitive guide to simple home cooking. The new edition of the book has been completely revised for today's cooks while retaining Bittman's trademark minimalist style: easy-to-follow recipes and variations, and tons of ideas and inspiration. Bittman will celebrate this landmark in American food with a reception. He will be in conversation with author and Real Food Media's Anna Lappé.

Anna’s constructive critique of philanthropy and the food movement

Her journey and broad away of work

Real Food Media founder and former Real Food Reads host Anna Lappé joins us to talk about how our food system drives the climate crisis, how food must be part of the solution, and how this conversation has evolved in the nearly ten years since the publication of her book Diet for a Hot Planet.

Aired Tuesday, 9 October 2018, 5:00 PM ESTCultivating BOLD HUMILITY Hope, Democracy and Rethinking Fear and CourageAn Interview with Author and “Daring Democracy” Advocate Frances Moore Lappé“Of course love is more powerful than fear. Otherwise we’d be singing ‘All You Need is Fear’.” — Swami BeyondanandaEver since the disillusionment of Obama’s failed promise, hope has been given a bad rap. Hope has been considered a form of passivity, as a substitute for intention, activism, hard choices. Our guest this week, noted author Frances Moore Lappé believes that cultivating hope also cultivates grace and possibility.Frances Moore Lappé first gained worldwide fame with the release of her three-million copy Diet for a Small Planet, which the Smithsonian has described as “one of the most influential political tracts of the times.” Her nineteenth book, Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want, coauthored with Adam Eichen, “extends concrete hope to those who feel politically helpless,” notes the American Library Association’s Booklist. She speaks widely on campuses from Harvard to UC Berkeley, as well as to professional organizations.Frances enables us to shift our “mental maps” so we can each experience a sense of agency, meaning and connection with others, as together we bring democratic values to life. She offers hope by sharing solution stories in which regular citizens are helping to meet our biggest social and environmental challenges.In 1987, Frances became the fourth American to receive the international Right Livelihood Award, often called the “Alternative Nobel”; and Gourmet Magazine named her one of 25 people, including Thomas Jefferson, Upton Sinclair, and Julia Child, whose work has changed the way America eats. Frances’ books have been translated into 15 languages and are used widely in university courses. Her visiting-scholar positions include those at MIT, UC Berkeley, Suffolk University, and Colby College.Her writings have appeared in O: The Oprah Magazine, Harper’s, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, People, and more. She is a contributing editor at Yes! Magazine, and Solutions Journal. Her blogs have appeared in Huffington Post, AlterNet, Common Dreams, and more.Frances currently leads the Small Planet Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, founded in 2002 with her daughter Anna Lappé. The two also cofounded the Small Planet Fund.Please join us for this lively, informative and encouraging conversation that will have you thinking differently about hope, fear, courage and humility. “Frankie” will be talking about her recent book, Daring Democracy, and the tools people have been developing and cultivating “under the radar” … as well as the hidden energy in fear and how to use it constructively. At a time when we as individuals and a species face the unknown, she offers compelling evidence of how “not knowing” may be the key to our survival.If you were inspired by Diet For A Small Planet, and want more nourishing “food for thought” from its author, please join us this Tuesday, October 9th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET. http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/Frances Moore Lappé can be found online at: https://www.smallplanet.org/frances-moore-lappeSupport Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In The “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Mark Kurlansky and Anna Lappé are two of the country’s most prolific and influential authors writing about feeding a crowded planet with a destabilized climate. The connection between global warming and the dinner table isn’t always obvious when we go to the grocery store. But our choices about how we put food on our plates, and what we do with the waste, contribute to as much as one third of total greenhouse-gas emissions. How can we continue to feed the planet without destroying it in the process? A conversation about the climate costs of global food production – and some possible solutions. Guests: Mark Kurlansky, Author, "MILK! A 10,000-Year Food Fracas" (Bloomsbury, 2018) Anna Lappé, Author, "Diet for a Hot Planet: The Climate Crisis at the End of Your Fork" (Bloomsbury, 2011) This program was recorded live at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on May 16, 2018.

In this episode of the food heroes podcast, we have Anna Lappè. Anna earned the James Beard Foundation leadership award for her passionate work as an author, educator, and sustainable food advocate. She’s the founder of Real Food Media whose goal is to strengthen food movement through collaboration, creative storytelling, and education. Her website is keen on busting common myths in the food industry. Real Food Media’s goal is to work with partners around the country to help elevate the real story of our food, help people understand the questions they should be asking about what they should eat, what they should be getting angry about, and what they can do to change that. She shares different ways her company is changing how people view food by bursting common myths and also different ways how you can help conserve food by making healthier food choices. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT: Anna Lappe’s background and love for food. Real Food Media background. There’s a place for everyone in the sustainability of food. The complexity of food system. Easy ways to make changes in the food system. Positive impact of the state food policy councils. California’s move to refusing chicken with antibiotics in schools. How Los Angeles’ decision impacted Tyson Chicken to have an antibiotic-free promotion. Bursting the myth that there will be 20 billion people in the near future and we need enough food to cater for all those people. Is there benefit to the clean meat movement? One thing Anna would do to make the planet a better place. Are things reversing against sugars and unhealthy foods? Future plans for Anna Lappè and Real Food Media.   PULLED QUOTES The changes we need to make are going to happen by getting organized. Get connected to folks in your own community who are making changes. Start where you are. No matter where you are there are ways to take one step forward whether in your diet or your activism to be part of the solution. We need to remind people that there are truths and facts still remaining in the world.

What does a food activist do? To answer the question, you need to look no further than Anna Lappé. She is the founder and director of Real Food Media, a collaborative initiative that catalyzes creative storytelling and media about food, farming, and sustainability. “We work with partners across the country to really elevate the solutions that we find out there that are really transforming the food system toward greater sustainability and equity, and then we help people understand what are the real impacts that we have to worry about it, about our current foods just don't why we need such transformation” she says.In this episode, she discusses why the food choices that are good for your body are also good for the planet, why consumer demand for meat is constructed, and why cooking a good meal at home is a good idea.I’m not so sure that food activism in the digital age is that much different than food activism at any other time. You know, I think we know how to make transformative change. And one of the best ways to do that is through organizing and through working in one’s own community and scaling that up. So that doesn’t really change that much in the digital age. I would say one of the ways in which activism is influenced by the digital age is unfortunately how this new era has really unleashed a phenomenon of evermore fake news of the proliferation of misinformation, and of the challenges of getting our story out. -- Anna Lappe´Some of the food activists we are interviewing on this podcast are looking to tech and apps for solutions to hunger and food insecurity. Anna is looking to education and policy changes - but in ways that may surprise you. Extended show notes at http://futurefood.fm. Follow our journey on Instagram.

By all accounts, 2016 was a bleak year—except when it came to cookbooks. This year bore such a bumper crop of cookbooks that Bite host Tom Philpott had trouble choosing his favorites. After careful consideration, he’s come up with five that make perfect gifts for the home chefs in your life—including one that features a cuisine that you’re unlikely to find even in restaurants. Then, keeping on the book theme, Tom talks about the best books about food politics with author and food activist Anna Lappé.

"Why are we as societies creating a world that we as individuals abhor?"That's the question tackled by legendary author Frances Moore Lappé in her new book, "Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage for the World We Really Want." Not only does she answer the question of why our political system seems incompetent to solve obvious and pressing problems, she shows a way for individuals and communities to take charge of public life and "have every choice we make be a celebration of the world we want."The author knows something about changing the world, too -- her 3 million copy classic "Diet for a Small Planet" essentially created the vegetarian movement in America.But Lappé's message was always more about the politics part of food politics. That's where her daughter, Anna Lappé, picks up the conversation in her new book, "Diet for a Hot Planet." The younger Lappé traces how our tangled web of global food -- pork chops raised in Poland, with feed from Brazil, shipped to South Korea -- contributes as much as one-third of the global warming effect.And like her mother, Anna shows the way that personal choices can change that system, with principles for a climate-friendly diet and success stories from sustainable food advocates around the globe.Both books and both authors have the same message: we are responsible for the world we create, and that's something to be hopeful about.As the Lappé's say: "Democracy is not what we have, it is what we do."

In February 2009, Deconstructing Dinner descended upon Edmonton for a week of local and global food education. Every year, the University of Alberta hosts International Week, the largest annual extracurricular educational event on campus. International Week "fosters global citizenship through engagement with today's most pressing issues". In its 24th year, the theme was Hungry for Change: Transcending Feast, Famine and Frenzy. As outlined by the event's organizers, "We live in an unprecedented, contradictory era. Hunger soars amid record harvests. At the same time, community-based democratic movements on every continent are showing the way toward a world without hunger. They are proving that it is possible to reconnect farming with ecological wisdom by enhancing soils and yields while empowering citizens to meet universal human needs for both food and dignity. In such a dark and disorienting time, solutions are still evident. The only real problem we have to worry about is despair arising from feelings of powerlessness. As we dig to the roots of the global crisis, we protect against despair and find our own power. Only then can we perceive how our individual and group actions can dissolve the forces that brought us here and plant the seeds of lasting solutions." Deconstructing Dinner recorded the event's keynote address, delivered by well-known democracy advocate, Frances Moore Lappé.
