Northeast Farmers Market SeasonHost Amaris Pollock welcomed Devin Cornia who is the Executive Director of the Northeast Farming Association of New Jersey back to the show. They discuss the upcoming farmers market season and the opportunity for people to interact with farmers and learn about agriculture.  They also discussed Devin's history within the industry, along with some of the programs, initiatives, and the publication "The Natural Farmer" which NOFA provides to the community.NOFA's Local Food Initiatives:Devin explains that NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) is a 50-year-old organization with seven state chapters supporting organics, land stewardship, and local food. The New Jersey chapter, which is 40 years old, focuses on supporting community and economic vehicles that make local food work. Devin discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current economic environment, emphasizing the need for collaboration and investment in local economies to build resilient, self-reliant food systems. He also highlights the importance of organic farming for health and the environment, and shares two exciting projects: a commercial kitchen to support value-added product creation for farmers, and a grains project involving a documentary and grain processing equipment installation to strengthen the local grain economy.NOFA-NJ Updates and Initiatives:Devin also discussed NOFA-NJ's upcoming events and website, encouraging people to check for future activities starting in July. Amaris and Devin also talked about NOFA-NJ's outdoor project which is nearly complete and can accommodate around 50 people. That space will open the doors to future opportunities for dining events, discussions, and more--which both farmers and the surrounding communities can benefit from. ------------------------------------------- Next Segment------------------------------------------Annette Anthony's Book Tour Event at Free Library:Annette Anthony, author of "Always Enough: A Global Memoir," discusses her upcoming event at the Free Library of Philadelphia as part of World Heritage Week.

Animal advocates want an end to public funding for research into octopus aquaculture. Farah Hancock reports.

Missouri's soybean crush industry and livestock enterprises are mutually dependent. Missouri's four crush plants produce nearly 4 million metric tons of meal annually, about half of which is exported. The remainder is primarily used for poultry, swine, cattle, and dairy in the state. Market development director Matt Amick says Missouri should produce more sought-after seafood, 80 percent of which is now imported.

Je suis prête à parier que vous avez déjà mangé de l'algue nori. Vous savez, celle qui entoure les makis que vous mangez dans votre restau japonais préféré ! Mais je suis aussi prête à parier que c'est la seule algue que vous avez déjà mangé. Et ce n'est pas étonnant ! Les algues sont victimes d'un paquet d'idées reçues. Ça pue l'oeuf pourri et ça pollue les plages (coucou les algues vertes en Bretagne !) Mais en réalité, les algues sont absolument fascinantes et j'ose espérer qu'elles prendront de plus en plus de place dans nos assiettes dans les années à venir. Bonne écoute

A check in conversation with James Arthur Smith, founder of Seatopia, about their data-driven focus on nutrient density (plus mercury/microplastics testing) resonates more strongly than abstract “sustainability” marketing strategy and it ultimately driving real ecosystem restoration. We explore how Seatopia defines regenerative aquaculture in a multi- trophic system—integrating finfish alongside shellfish and seaweeds, how they measure and quantify our impact at every step and how they partner with artisan milling companies developing species-appropriate feeds that eliminate fishmeal, soy, corn, and canola oil—pivoting toward insect protein and algae-based oils.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/james-arthur-smith-2.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

This episode of the China Global podcast discusses evolving disputes between China and South Korea, specifically regarding their unresolved maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. There is a long history of fishing disputes between the two countries in the Provisional Measures Zone (or PMZ) of the Yellow Sea, which is where their exclusive economic zones overlap. Although China and South Korea have engaged in negotiations over the years, they have yet to come to an agreement on their boundaries in the Yellow Sea.Taking advantage of the persisting disagreement on delimitation of maritime borders, China has employed gray zone tactics in the Yellow Sea to expand its territorial presence in the region. In the most recent dispute, China installed a new steel structure in the PMZ, causing a maritime standoff between Chinese and Korean coast guards.To discuss recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ray Powell, the Director of SeaLight, a maritime transparency project at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Ray is also the co-host of the Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific podcast, and a 35-year veteran of the US Air Force. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:43] Strategic Significance of the Yellow Sea[03:12] Expanding Chinese Control in the Region[04:08] Chinese Maritime Installations [05:20] Are these installations found in other regions?[06:00] Gray Zone Tactics in the South China Sea [08:20] Maritime Militia Activity in the Yellow Sea[09:02] 2001 Korea-China Fisheries Agreement[10:34] Testing the Waters with South Korea[12:09] Navigating South Korean Policy Dilemmas[13:48] Rehabilitating China's Imagine in Korea[15:14] Environmental Issues in Disputed Waters[17:18] Countering Chinese Activities in the Yellow Sea[19:40] SeaLight Tracking and Deciphering Chinese Actions

À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de l'eau, le 22 mars, BSG rediffuse cette série de Petit Poisson deviendra Podcast dédiée aux plus gros poissons d'eau douce.  Le Silure est le plus gros poisson d'eau douce en Europe. Le record actuel est de 2,80 m pour 130 kg., des légendes non vérifiables évoquent des spécimens de 5 m!!Avec les Poissons-chats, il fait partie de l'ordre des siluriformes. Cet ordre rassemble le quart des espèces de poissons d'eau douce, soient 3000 espèces (1 vertébré sur 20 est un siluriforme !).Le Silure est parfois confondu avec le Poisson-chat, surnommés ainsi à cause de leurs barbillons, qui ressemblent aux moustaches d'un Chat. Mais attention ! le Poisson-chat, même s'il lui ressemble, fait partie d'une autre famille de poissons, les ictaluridés.Il y a 16 espèces de Silures dans le monde. Le Silure glane (Silurus glanis) est l'espèce la plus répandue en France. Il est originaire des pays de l'Europe orientale, des bords du Danube et des cours d'eau bordant les mers Caspienne et Baltique.Le Silure n'a pas d'écailles, sa peau est recouverte de mucus. Sa bouche énorme est entourée de lignes de très petites dents. Le Silure ne peut pas trancher une proie, il l'aspire et la digère. Bim bam sans fioritures…Ce géant est omnivore et se nourrit surtout au crépuscule et la nuit de poissons, crustacés, amphibiens, parfois de petits oiseaux et de micro-mammifères. À Albi, dans le Tarn, le silure s'échoue volontairement pour choper des pigeons venant s'abreuver.Sa voracité est parfois dénoncée, mais d'après des études récentes, il n'est pas aussi vorace que l'on veut bien le dire. Il est notamment cannibale, ce qui entraîne une régulation de l'espèce. Il paraît donc exagéré voire faux de le classer parmi les espèces nuisibles.Le Silure est revenu en France par la Saône. Il s'est ensuite retrouvé dans le Rhône puis a colonisé l'ensemble du territoire par les canaux et des introductions illégales.Ce poisson est comestible et même bon, mais attention ! C'est un “bioaccumulateur”: il vit longtemps, en haut de la chaîne alimentaire, et stocke les métaux lourds, des pesticides et des PCB dans ses graisses. _______

Have you ever wondered what the Sydney Royal Fine Food competition is about, who gets involved, and why? Tawnya Bahr catches up with Lyndey Milan OAM, Councillor of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, to find out what goes on behind the scenes of the iconic Sydney Royal Fine Food competitions. Lyndey has long been involved and has played a crucial role in this important agricultural competition, where she was the first female Vice-President. She founded the Fine Foods Committee in 1997, judging Aquaculture, Branded Meats, Oil and olives, Pasta, Professional Bakery, Specialty Foods, Smallgoods, and Charcuterie. She has also chaired the Sydney Royal Dairy and Wine Shows and remains on all three committees. In this engaging chat Lyndey discusses how and why the competitions started, explains the ‘blind judging’ system the Society uses to ensure fairness for all participants; why winning a medal at the competition is a significant accolade for producers and the importance of networking opportunities for those who sign up as a judge. She also explains the branding advantages of being a medal winner and how the competition encourages producers to improve their offerings based on genuine feedback. #podcast #foodpodcast #sydneyroyalfinefood #foodcompetition #ras #agriculture #finefoods #sydney #food #straighttothesource #dairy #wine Follow us on: IG: @straight_to_the_source FB: @StraightToTheSource TW: _straight_to_source LI: Straight To The Source YT: Straight To The Source Find out more about Straight To The Source: Read about your hosts Tawnya Bahr and Lucy Allon here Join the Straight To The Source community here Learn more about Straight To The Source here Key Episode Links: Lyndey Milan https://www.lyndeymilan.com/ Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Royal Agricultural Society of NSW Cheese and Dairy Competitions Cheese and Dairy Produce Wine Competitions https://www.rasnsw.com.au/competitions/food-beverage-and-produce/Sydney-Royal-Wine-Show-details/ Specialty Competition https://www.rasnsw.com.au/competitions/food-beverage-and-produce/specialty-foods-details/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A conversation with Sébastien Crépieux, founder of Invers, developing a decentralised insect farming supply chain for animal nutrition, placing farmers at the heart of the model. The role of animals and livestock in farming is something we cover frequently, but we've never discussed insects which can transform immense amounts of agricultural waste—such as leftovers from beer brewing or wheat milling—into high-quality protein and fats. Perhaps most importantly, their frass (manure) is an amazing fertilizer. Of course, humans could consume insect protein directly, but in the Global North, this is rare and may take a long time to change. Insect protein is also an excellent poultry feed, but its greatest impact may be in aquaculture—specifically, fish feed. The immense destruction caused by industrial bottom-trawling fishing fleets is difficult to describe and comprehend. However, it's safe to say that catching anchovies or krill for fish meal—to feed salmon and other fish—is highly inefficient and environmentally harmful.With Sébastien we explore a decentralized approach to insect farming in France, one that focuses on putting farmers at the centre—not by reintegrating large ruminants into farms, but rather small mealworms. Why not go super-centralized with massive facilities and raise hundreds of millions of euros, as some other companies have done? Why hasn't more insect meal been sold to the aquaculture sector to help reduce pressure on the oceans?More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/sebastien-crepieux.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

We're being told the potential for New Zealand's 'blue economy' to take off will depend on the Resource Management Act. A new Westpac report says the marine economy could grow to $14 billion in 10 years by switching to more sustainable practices. Aquaculture New Zealand Chief Executive Gary Hooper told Mike Hosking aquaculture was recognised for the part it could play, but has yet to flourish due to RMA restrictions. He hopes the fast-track approval processes shortened time frames, certainties, and more nuanced approach could be the circuit breaker to unleash new opportunities.

The Earth's heat produced from radioactive decay in the core has many benefits once recovered and brought to the surface. Most focus is placed on its ability to provide baseload power, which is important, but arguably the most widespread use case being heating and cooling gets overlooked. Geothermal is ubiquitous throughout the planet, however, it does vary by location the feasibility of extracting the resource, but harvesting low temperature resources can be done most anywhere. Once harvested, the use cases are seemingly endless, heat and cool your home, office building, school, grow vegetables, process dairy, aquaculture, and so much more.

Animal aquaculture, the farming of fish, has outpaced the amount of wild-caught fish by tens of millions of metric tons each year, bringing with it negative environmental impacts and enabling abuse, says Carl Safina, an ecologist and author. On this episode of Mongabay's podcast, Safina speaks with co-host Rachel Donald about his recent Science Advances essay describing the “moral reckoning” that's required for the industry, pointing to environmental laws in the United States, which put hard limits on pollution, as examples to follow. “In the 1970s in the U.S., we had this enormous burst of environmental legislation. We got the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act … all of these things were not because somebody invented something new. It's because we felt differently about what was important,” he says. The global fishing industry also contributes to forced labor and other worker abuses, as revealed by whistleblowers and media outlets, including Mongabay.

Abandoned fish farms in Greece are plaguing the coastline with marine debris; however, Healthy Seas is working to clean up some of the sites and raise awareness for support to tell the Greek government that fish farm owners should be responsible for cleaning up their sites once the business is done operating.  In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the pressing issue of ghost farms—abandoned fish farms that are polluting oceans, particularly in Greece. The episode highlights the work of the organization Healthy Seas, which is actively involved in cleaning up these ghost farms. Key Points: Definition of Ghost Farms: Ghost farms are abandoned fish farms that were once operational but have been left to deteriorate, leading to significant environmental pollution. Unlike ghost nets, which can be found randomly in the ocean, ghost farms are known sites with identifiable owners. Extent of the Problem: There are over 150 ghost farm sites identified in Greece, with one cleanup in 2024 removing over 40 tons of marine debris, including plastics and fishing nets. The cleanup costs range from 100,000 to 200,000 euros, depending on the site's location and accessibility. Healthy Seas' Approach: Healthy Seas, led by Veronica Mikos, began addressing this issue after encountering a local environmentalist while on a project in Greece. They have since cleaned up two ghost farms and are advocating for better policies and enforcement to prevent future abandonment. Challenges in Cleanup: The cleanups are labor-intensive and require specialized equipment. Many of the materials, such as polystyrene, degrade and pose risks to marine life, as fish may mistake them for food. Policy and Enforcement Issues: Although laws exist regarding environmental protection and aquaculture, enforcement is lacking. Veronica suggests that fish farming companies should be required to deposit funds to cover cleanup costs, ensuring accountability. Community Involvement and Awareness: Healthy Seas emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about ghost farms and involving local communities in discussions about aquaculture practices. They aim to educate future aquaculture professionals about the environmental responsibilities associated with fish farming. The episode concludes with a call to action for better policies and community engagement to ensure that abandoned fish farms are cleaned up and that the aquaculture industry operates sustainably.

The largest solar farm on the ocean is now running off the coast of China as the country continues to invest in ways to support its sustainable energy needs.  In the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses China's deployment of the world's largest open sea offshore solar panel farm. The project, developed by CHN Energy, spans 1,223 hectares (3,023 acres) and is located 8 kilometers off the coast of China. It aims to generate one gigawatt of renewable energy and is notable for its innovative use of offshore solar technology. Pros of the Offshore Solar Project Efficient Land Use: Utilizing water bodies for solar energy reduces the need for land clearing and habitat destruction typically associated with land-based solar farms. Reduced Evaporation: The solar panels cover the water surface, which can help conserve water by reducing evaporation rates in reservoirs and agricultural areas. Improved Solar Efficiency: The cooling effect of water can enhance the efficiency of solar panels compared to those installed on land. Dual Use Potential: Floating solar farms can coexist with hydroelectric facilities, optimizing energy production and utilizing existing infrastructure. Algal Bloom Reduction: The solar panels can help suppress harmful algal blooms in aquatic systems by limiting sunlight penetration. Clean Energy Generation: The project contributes to renewable energy production, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Cons of the Offshore Solar Project Impact on Aquatic Systems: The shade from solar panels may alter water temperature and light penetration, potentially disrupting habitats for aquatic plants and animals. Habitat Disruption: The solar farm installation could affect fish spawning areas and migratory patterns, similar to concerns raised about wind farms. Material Degradation: Using plastics and metals in solar structures could lead to microplastic contamination and chemical pollution over time. Recreational Disruption: Floating solar farms may hinder recreational activities, fishing, and navigation in the area. Installation Risks: The anchoring and cabling required for the solar systems could disturb sediments and harm local aquatic habitats. Vulnerability to Weather Events: The structures may be susceptible to damage from storms, hurricanes, and flooding, potentially releasing debris or pollutants into the water. The episode emphasizes the need for careful planning and mitigation strategies to address the potential environmental concerns associated with floating solar farms. While the project presents a promising opportunity for renewable energy generation, it also raises important questions about the ecological impacts on marine environments. The host encourages listeners to engage in the conversation about the balance between renewable energy development and ocean conservation.

A conversation with John Holmyard, founder and managing director of Offshore Shellfish, 21st century mussel farming: guilt-free food that helps regenerate marine biodiversity and captures carbon. We talk about protein. With a growing population, we need more and more of it. So, what is the lowest impact and positive impact protein source we can grow? A deep dive into the largest offshore mussel farm in Europe, where they grow large amounts of mussels by grazing large number of plankton that naturally flows by. And, in case you are wondering, there is so much plankton around because we depleted most of the fish stocks that used to eat a lot of it.We learn all about how to build the largest mussel farm in the UK and how to deal with regulators who have no idea what shellfish farming even means (they think you hunt mussels in the wild). We explore why mussels are such a potential crop to grow, and they can even restore natural mussel reefs, which used to be present all around the North Sea until we started bottom-trawling. And why are politics fundamental to the business when all of your crop goes fresh to mainland Europe? ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/john-holmyard.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.
