Join host Tom Dunlap in another enlightening episode as he discusses the intriguing topics of bioprospecting and biopiracy. He explores the distinction between these practices, with bioprospecting involving the ethical search for beneficial biological resources and biopiracy encompassing the unauthorized exploitation of such resources without proper credit or consent. Tom shares prominent examples like the basmati rice patent dispute between the US and India, as well as instances involving turmeric, the neem tree, and other resources. He highlights the legal framework, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, which seeks to ensure fair benefits sharing and prior informed consent. Tune in to hear Tom's thoughts on the need for a balanced approach that respects traditional knowledge while promoting innovation in our globalized world.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are joined by magnanimous mycological scholar Dr. Keith Seifert, adjunct professor in the biology department at Carleton University. Dr. Seifert has spent more than forty years studying fungi on five continents. At Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, he did research on microscopic fungi from farms, forests, food and the built environment to reduce toxins and diseases affecting plants and animals. He was president of the International Mycological Association, an executive editor of Mycologia, and associate editor of several other scientific journals. Dr. Seifert is here to dive into his debut book The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi – Exploring the Microscopic World in Our Forests, Homes and Bodies. In this marvelous book, he invites us to see our world as one full of microbial ecological succession, symbiotic interactions with fungi and maybe an understanding that this epoch could truly be considered the mycocene.   TOPICS COVERED:   Descending into the Hidden Kingdom   Spectrum of Symbioses   The Lives of Endophytes    Holobionts   Fungi and Human Agriculture   Mycotoxins   Ancient History of Fungal Domestication – Beer, Bread & Cheese   Rot to Fermentation Continuum   Invasive Species, Biopiracy, Biocolonialism   Human Houses as Ecosystems   Mold Colonies in Our Homes   Dandruff, Candida & Fungi in the Human Microbiome   Amphibian Apocalypse   A World Powered by Fungi    EPISODE RESOURCES:   "The Hidden Kingdom of Fungi": https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-hidden-kingdom-of-fungi-exploring-the-microscopic-world-in-our-forests-homes-and-bodies-keith-seifert/17251543?ean=9781771646628   Keith Seifert iNaturalist: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/77976   Keith Seifert ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Keith-Seifert-2   "I Contain Multitudes": https://edyong.me/i-contain-multitudes   Phytophthora infestans (Irish Potato Famine Pathogen): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytophthora_infestans   UG-99 Wheat Rust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ug99   Escovopsis aspergilloides: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escovopsis_aspergilloides   "When Darwin Comes to Town": https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34930832-darwin-comes-to-town   "The Song of the Dodo": https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12868099

What's up to my adroit aye-ayes (I'd hate to piss off one of these in traffic amiright?) and spooky sloths! Welcome to the BNP and thank you for joining!  This episode is a certified humdinger and a rarefied crackerjack, and it ranges far and wide. We begin with, you already know, those zany audio tidbits. I then dive into a discussion regarding the mechanisms and inner nature of creative burnout, how inspiration works, and how to recover from demiurgic blocks. Also included in this ep is a recent Yak Fest with the inimitable Dr. Sylvie Salinger, where we chat about seed banks, saving seeds, and the fact that everyone's favorite Epstein-connected gremlin Billy Boy Gates is seizing control of the world's seed supply.  The Outro this week is a verified "Hold Onto Yer Butt" situation. For the reading I share an interview with Robert Stinnett, a naval photographer in the Pacific Theater during WW2, where he speaks about his book Days of Deceit, which provides FOIA backed evidence that FDR, the FBI, and the Office of Naval Intelligence all knew the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was coming, and allowed it to happen, in order to manufacture consent for an American entrance into the war. Yikes.   Won't you please rate, review and subscribe to the BNP wherever you listen to podcasts?Patrons: you're the specialized grub snagging middle finger of the Madagascan aye-aye.

In this episode, Aman Gebru, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at Yeshiva University Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, discusses his article "Patents, Disclosure, and Biopiracy," which will be published in the Denver Law Review. Gebru begins by describing what traditional knowledge is and why it is important to innovation. He the explains the role of disclosure in the patent system and why it currently doesn't work well for traditional knowledge. Then he presents an alternative model for thinking about how the Patent Office should treat disclosure of traditional knowledge. And he explains why this alternative approach is likely to produce better results for both the people who hold traditional knowledge and the companies that want to use it. Gebru is on Twitter at @aman_gebru. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today's episode is about biopiracy… but first, we share an Indigi-Fact that turned out to be a cool surprise to both of us. After that, we dive into some history, a few definitions, a case study, and how biopiracy can affect Indigenous communities. We also explore some ideas for how this issue can be addressed now/in the future, and why this is such an important topic for Indigenous peoples around the planet. This one was interesting to bring together because it's such a big topic that ties into things like intellectual property rights and discovery doctrines from Europe… and there's a lot more to it so we'll probably revisit this one again sometime soon. Enjoy! Here are some of the main ideas we talk about: Biopiracy definitions and history Intellectual property rights and patent law Ayahuasca patents, culture, and place Ideas and Potential Solutions ~ Links & Resources: Seven Generations of Hominins The Leach and the Earthworm Introduction to Biopiracy Biopiracy Definitions: One & Two Intellectual Property Definitions: One & Two Ayahuasca Article Patents and Traditional Knowledge of the Uses of Plants: Is a Communal Patent Regime Part of the Solution to the Scourge of Bio Piracy Bioneers Radio Audio Series ~ Like this show?

When natural resources like timber, water and mineral deposits can be extracted from ecosystems, they become assets with dollar values that can be bought and sold internationally and enable developing countries to grow and participate in the global economy. If growth is the key to emerging from poverty, then this might seem like a good thing. But what if these same resources being sold to richer nations come from an ecosystem that people depend on for their livelihood? What if new growth is actually proportional to the creation of new poverty? The cult of 'growth' has dictated policy for decades. But if well-being, not growth, is our goal, selling resources that bring long term wellbeing to communities for short term gain is a very bad deal. Hard as it may be for the West to understand, protecting the ecological resources of communities might be more important than GDP figures. Vandana Shiva holds a PhD in physics, but is best known as an environmental, and anti-globalisation activist and as a leading figure of 'ecofeminism.' Shiva is based in India and is the author of over twenty books, including Staying Alive and Biopiracy. She is a former recipient of the Sydney Peace Prize. Chair: Simran Sethi is an award-winning Indian American journalist. She is currently undergoing a research fellowship at the University of Melbourne in Australia on the loss of agricultural biodiversity in our food system.

Michael Dorsey is a Professor at Dartmouth College in the Environmental Studies Department. Sue Supriano met him at the Reclaiming the Commons Teach-In in San Francisco in June, 04. Reclaim the Commons was the counter gathering to the biotech companies' conference at the same time. Dorsey talks about biopiracy of indigenous people, and the interlocking of corporations that are attempting to privatize even the genes of people.
