The term psychedelic, meaning “mind manifesting,” is often framed through the lens of cognitive experience - the brain-mind. But what if “mind” includes not just the brain, but the heart, the gut, the body, and beyond? The recreational scene has a fixation on the visuals, the novelty, the highs, the fun - and while I'm not necessarily against recreational use, I think this part of the psychedelic culture could use some deeper contextualization to begin inhabiting a more full expression of what these experiences can truly offer. We explore that, and more, in this weeks episode. --- Enrol in the Visionary Medicines Program: https://www.caiyudakiora.com/visionary-medicines Join the Newsletter & Access the Free 21 Page eBook: https://www.caiyudakiora.com/newsletter Vision Quest - Vic, Aus 2025: https://www.caiyudakiora.com/vision-quest   ---    CONNECT WITH CAIYUDA YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@caiyuda Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caiyudakiora TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@caiyudakiora Twitter: https://x.com/caiyudakiora Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/30AGOxSHAtdxs8xnCw1STa?si=fad30c997d474a07   ---   AFFILIATE LINKS: Get 10% off some of the best Medicinal Mushroom, Tonic Herb & Adaptogenic Blends at Superfeast: https://www.superfeast.com.au (Use code CAIYUDA10 at checkout) --- Get 10% off your Certified Organic 100% Grass Fed & Finished Beef Organ supplements at Cell Squared: https://www.cellsquared.com.au/?aff=140 (Use code CAIYUDA10 at checkout) --- Get 10% off Blu Blockers and Red Light Therapies at BaxterBlue: https://www.baxterblue.com.au/?ref=CAIYUDA10 (Use code CAIYUDA10 at checkout)

In this solo episode of Hands in the Soil, we return to a commonly misunderstood topic in the food system: does certified organic mean pesticide-free? Building on a previous episode released a year ago, I dive deeper into the nuances of pesticide use in organic agriculture to clarify what the organic label really means—and what it doesn't.I explain the difference between organic and synthetic pesticides, how regulations work under organic certification, and why it's still essential to ask questions about where your food comes from. I also explore how integrated pest management and regenerative practices can help farms reduce or even eliminate pesticide use altogether.Tune in to learn more about:Why certified organic doesn't mean pesticide-freeThe difference between synthetic and organic pesticidesHow some synthetic pesticides are still allowed in organic certification (and why that matters)The loophole of EPA conditional registration and toxicity testing gapsIntegrated Pest Management (IPM) and alternatives to pesticide useHow farm scale, soil health, and biodiversity impact pest controlCritiques of organic certification and the difference between small regenerative farms and large-scale organic monoculturesWhy knowing your farmer is often more valuable than any labelResources & Links:Connect with Hannah: @hannahkeitel

The desire to own a business runs strong throughout American history. “Entrepreneur. Americans have fallen in love with this French noun,” write two historians in their book about entrepreneurship. Much of the dynamism in our neighborhoods and communities comes from entrepreneurs and small business owners. Among them is Mhonpaj Lee Vang and her family. She and her mother own Mhonpaj Garden, the first Hmong-owned certified organic farm in Minnesota with five acres in Stillwater and four acres in Marine on St. Croix. She also owns 22 farming acres in Hugo. Mhonpaj is a licensed real estate broker, real estate developer and, more recently, program host on Hmong TV. MPR's senior economics contributor Chris Farrell caught up with Mhonpaj in White Bear Lake.

While our longer-form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry, these twice-monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable winegrowing so you can show your customers that you share their values. In this Marketing Tip, you'll learn how Certified Organic and sustainable compare, and get some ideas for engaging in a conversation about what your certification means. Sustainable and Organic Overlap There is a lot of overlap between the programs. Both programs are committed to environmental preservation and regeneration through practices that address: Biodiversity and Habitat Soil Health and Conservation Integrated Pest Management Water Quality Why Get Both? A lot of SIP Certified farmers are also Certified Organic. Even if they're not certified by both, many of their farming practices overlap the programs. Since many organic practices are sustainable and vice-versa, an operation can attain both certifications without many complications. When a winegrower gets both Certified Organic and SIP Certified sustainable they demonstrate their commitment to environmental preservation and beyond. It also appeals to eco-conscious consumers who consider both certifications when making purchasing decisions. How to Explain Sustainability The 3 P's of Sustainability What makes sustainability unique is that in addition to addressing farming practices, it also looks at the social and economic aspects of the operation. A good way to remember this is the 3 P's of Sustainability: People, Planet, and Prosperity. You can tie several practices that your business engages in every day back to the 3 P's: People: Community and neighbor communication plans; Health and retirement benefits for employees; Competitive wages; Engaging in charitable gift giving and services. Planet: *Integrated Pest Management strategies like cultural, biological, and mechanical control; *Planting cover crops to protect water quality, control erosion, and provide habitat for beneficial insects; Using alternative sources of energy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Prosperity: Creating and sticking to a budget; Analyzing trends in sales, purchasing, and resource usage; Staying up to date with the latest information and technology; Being aware of upcoming regulations. * Overlap with Organic. Tell a Story Stories make facts more memorable. You can tell your customers that your brand practices social responsibility, but without sharing a specific example of what that looks like, you haven't really told them much! Next time someone asks you, “What's the difference between organic and sustainable?” try to share a specific sustainable example from the People or Prosperity categories: The Journey to Net-Zero 3 P's Category: Prosperity When the team at Center of Effort looked at their energy use, they discovered many areas where they could adjust to be more efficient. Over time, these changes have compounded to have tremendous energy savings: ·         Run their cooling system during off-peak hours. ·         Replace a 15-year-old chiller with a newer, more efficient one that allows for selective tank cooling. ·         Install a remote-operated quick-draw door in the production room to address insulation losses. Since making all of these changes, their winery and hospitality areas are now 100% powered by the sun. In fact, they now run net-negative and send generated power back to the grid!

On this week's pod we talk with Brian Campbell and Crystine Goldberg. They own Uprising Seeds, the Certified Organic, farm-based seed business in Bellingham, WA. Brian and Crystine started as fresh market growers in 2004, growing specialty produce for local restaurants, food coops, and farmers markets. During that time they also started one of the country's first food-stamp based CSA programs.  Brian and Crystine launched Uprising Seeds in 2007 as a small threefold catalog of primarily farm-grown seeds and eventually transitioned entirely to seeds as their market crop by 2011. Now in their 17th year, they maintain and sell a catalog of over 450 varieties of organic vegetable, flower, and herb seeds, growing on about 5 leased acres of cultivated space and working with a network of about a dozen additional seed growers around the Pacific Northwest. Uprising Seeds' catalog highlights the capacity of varieties with cultural and culinary significance to create community around food and farming, and their seed work is very much rooted in social justice. Photo by Shawn Linehan Connect With Guest: Website: uprisingorganics.com Want to give seed saving a try?

Organic REV The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals.   Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass  that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%.  REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily  available to plants via their root systems.
