The Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture (CCUA) started in 2008. Its mission is feeding and educating our community. CCUA executive director Billy Polansky joined host Fred Parry in-studio Saturday morning on 939 the Eagle's “CEO Roundtable” program. Mr. Polansky tells listeners that the CCUA aims to connect people with agriculture and their food. The CCUA also helps get young people interested in farming and it grows food for the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. Mr. Polansky updated listeners on the status of the welcome center at the Agriculture Park, saying the lowest of four bids was about $4.7 million. “It's an 11,000 square foot building. It's going to have office space, a commercial kitchen, event space and a resource library as well,” Mr. Polansky tells listeners. He notes that when people go to the park, they're unsure if they can even be there, saying this will be a “front door” for the park. People will be able to take a tour by going into the welcome center, and they'll also be able to sign up for CCUA programs. Mr. Polansky also updated listeners Saturday on the “food as medicine” and produce prescription programs. The ten-acre Columbia agriculture park is open year-round for you to enjoy. The park includes production fields, a food forest and a greenhouse:

When you think about the Columbia Gorge, a multimedia rock opera might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But that’s exactly the vehicle producer Sarah Fox chose to showcase the unique history, personal stories and ecology of the Gorge.  “The Watershed Rock Opera” unfolds in five movements that symbolize the cycle of the watershed itself. The journey starts in the clouds, descends into the Cascades and moves through a pear orchard before it ends in a kind of homecoming at the mighty river that connects the people and communities who call the Gorge home. (There’s also a comedic detour and duet prompted by a clogged toilet).   Fox recorded interviews with five storytellers who provided the narration in the rock opera and inspired its musical score, which 20 local musicians and performers will bring to life this Friday for a series of sold-out shows at the Columbia Center for the Arts in Hood River. Fox joins us for more details, along with Lesley Tamura, a fourth-generation pear orchardist in Hood River, composer and arranger Eric Kaneda and music director and percussionist Leila Kaneda.

Some argue that market concentration in their sectors is inevitable. They say Canada's small population, vast geography, and global competition create natural monopolies—and that protecting their dominance is necessary to build globally competitive companies.But is that true?In this episode, the co-authors of the book The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians, Denise Hearn and Vass Bednar join me to talk about the realities of competition in Canada and the steps we need to take to inject more competition into the economy. They dug into Canada's competitive landscape and what they found may surprise you.  There are the commonly known challenges: we have three major telecommunications companies, five grocers, a few big banks, two major airlines and a train company.  But beyond these common stats, they found a competitive and corporate landscape that is reducing competition well beyond these big sectors. Concentration in half of Canadian Industries has increased by 40 per cent since 1998.In this episode, we learn about how competition has eroded and ways in which we can begin to inject more competition into the Canadian economy.About our guests:Vass BednarVass Bednar is the executive director of McMaster University's Master of Public Policy program.

U.S. Bank announced they will not be renewing their lease at the U.S. Bancorp Tower, more commonly known as "the Big Pink" in downtown. While they are moving out of downtown, the regional headquarters will remain in Portland and will now be found at the Columbia Center in Northeast Portland. The banks four branches and their client center will remain downtown at 900 Southwest 5th Avenue. Still, people are expecting an economic hit from the headquarters leaving the downtown area. “These are hundreds of employees that are going to be leaving downtown; that's going to affect restaurants, the bars, the ancillary businesses that work with US Bank," said Andy Giegerich, managing editor of the Portland Business Journal. "The vacancy rate downtown right now is 31%, according to Colliers, and so that means 1 out of every 3 office spaces is empty," he continued. City commissioners also were not thrilled about the news. “It's disappointing, but it tells us where our work is cut out for us, to keep investing and doubling down in community safety, public safety," said Commissioner Carmen Rubio. "It's never a good time, especially right as we're trying to recover in our economy." During Thursday's city council meeting, Mayor Ted Wheeler also said that the news was disappointing, and they tried to work through issues with U.S. Bank and Unico, the property owner, but the bank still made the decision to not renew. In a statement, U.S. Bank does not address any issues and instead provided this reasoning for the decision to move to northeast Portland: "In the simplest terms, the decision came down to a confluence of factors — an expiring lease on our space in the building, a reevaluation of our space in 24 key markets we have identified for future growth like Portland, and the availability of a nearby facility that the bank owns where we would accommodate our teams that are not client-facing. These changes have no impact on the way through which most in the local community engage with us, our branch presence in Portland and the surrounding area." In a separate statement to the Portland Business Journal, U.S. Bank also said no employees will lose their jobs. They also said that all employees will move to other locations around town by the end of the year. The city also noted how since the pandemic, many businesses have left downtown and are aware crime and the issue of homelessness contribute to some. However, they said there have been improvements. “Downtown is getting cleaner; it is safer than it was two years ago, but it's not nearly where it was in 2019," said Commissioner Rene Gonzalez. “We have to dramatically change the environment in our city in terms of tax burden and public safety." During the city council meeting and in a statement, the mayor explained more businesses have come to Portland in recent years, and crime has dropped a bit. Part of the statement from the mayor's office reads: "We are continuing to see promising data trends in crime rates, a 16% increase in business openings in 2023 (including Hoka, The Ritz Carlton, SoHo House, and Daimler Truck North America), notable increases to downtown foot traffic, progress on homelessness, and we led in the development of a business tax incentive to encourage businesses to lease office and retail space." Despite this, Wheeler also said it's likely more businesses will leave the area, but also urged the public to keep an optimistic view of the city. Close Ad

Within the past four decades, we've seen the rise of neo-liberalism, or so-called "Free Trade," free trade agreements and various other treaties and agreements that reduce and eliminate barriers and regulation for capital to invest in different nation states. While there has been some resistance, capital and investments march on. Corporations and investors have created tools such as "international investment treaties (IITs)" to continue their profit-making ventures. These treaties result in litigation that can undermine, environmental, human rights and labor protections. This is particularly important as the world is gripped in a climate crisis and regulations on carbon emissions, human rights, and fossil fuel extraction are vital. In our latest we talk with the director of Columbia's Center on Sustainable Investment (@CCSI_Columbia) Lisa Sachs about IITs and the legal tools corporations use to settle disputes with national governments when regulation gets in the way. bio// Lisa Sachs is the Director of the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment.

Kids with ARFID aren't worried about how much they weigh, though they sometimes do lose too much weight. Instead, they have rigid and restricted eating habits for other reasons.Many kids with ARFID avoid foods that have a certain taste, texture, color or some other specific quality.  And some kids with ARFID just have very little interest in food. It's common for kids with all kinds of ARFID to like only a very limited set of foods.What sets ARFID apart from normal picky eating is that ARFID has significant negative impacts on the child's physical and/or mental health. - How is it typically diagnosed? - What are the signs that a child may warrant a diagnosis? - Is this diagnosis comorbid with other diagnoses, typically? - How is it typically treated? - What role do parents have in the success of treatment? - How can a parent find a provider who specializes in this? Website mentioned for more information - www.train2treated.comTo learn more about Nikki, www.nikkipaganolcw.com.For more information about Dr. Egan and Lacey Wallace's services:Website -Dr. Tara Egan's child & adolescent therapy services, books, webinars, public speaking opportunities, and counseling/consultation services, Go HERE.Facebook - learn more HERE.YouTube - learn more HERE.Instagram - learn more HERE.Edited by Christian Fox

NYC Now presents a special episode from Season 3 of Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows. Valerie Reyes-Jimenez called it “The Monster.” That's how some people described HIV and AIDS in the 1980s. Valerie thinks as many as 75 people from her block on New York City's Lower East Side died. They were succumbing to an illness that was not recognized as the same virus that was killing young, white, gay men just across town in the West Village.At the same time in Harlem, the 17th floor of the area's struggling public hospital was filling up with infants and children who arrived and then never left. Some spent their whole lives on the pediatric ward, celebrating birthdays, first steps and first words with the nurses and doctors who had become their surrogate family. Welcome to Harlem Hospital at the height of the HIV and AIDS epidemics.When the nurses and doctors at this community hospital first began to see infants suffering from an unusual wasting disease, they were alarmed. They had heard that a strange new illness was killing gay men, but no one was talking about women and children. Soon, however, it became clear that HIV was sweeping through Harlem, sickening mothers who then passed it — unknowingly — to their kids. As the crisis grew, AIDS turned the pediatrics ward of Harlem Hospital into a makeshift home — and a makeshift family — for kids who were either too sick to go home, or who no longer had families to go home to.You can listen to more episodes of Blindspot: The Plague in the Shadows here.Voices in the episode include:• Valerie Reyes-Jimenez is an HIV-positive woman, activist, and organizer with Housing Works. She saw the AIDS crisis develop from a nameless monster into a pandemic from her home on New York City's Lower East Side.• Dr. Margaret Heagarty was a doctor who ran the pediatric department at Harlem Hospital Center for nearly 20 years. She died in 2022. Archival interview with Margaret Heagarty comes from the Columbia Center for Oral History.• Dr. Stephen Nicholas was a pediatrician at Harlem Hospital Center for two decades.• Maxine Frere, a lifelong Harlem resident, is a retired nurse who spent the entirety of her 40-year career at Harlem Hospital Center.• Monica Digrado was a pediatric nurse at Harlem Hospital Center.• Victor Reyes was born at Harlem Hospital Center and spent much of his childhood receiving treatment and care at the hospital's pediatric AIDS unit.Blindspot is a co-production of The HISTORY® Channel and WNYC Studios, in collaboration with The Nation Magazine.A companion photography exhibit by Kia LaBeija featuring portraits from the series is on view through March 11 at The Greene Space at WNYC.

They are the authors of a recent report, published by the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), entitled “China's Climate Disclosure Regime: How Regulations, Politics, and Investors Shape Corporate Climate Reporting.” Erica Downs is senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University; Edmund Downie is PhD Candidate in Public Affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs; and Yushan Lou is Research Associate at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. In the podcast we discuss: How disclosures on ESG and carbon emissions differ in Hong Kong versus the mainland, and for listed versus unlisted firms The differing incentives SOEs have for making public climate disclosures The value of such disclosures for policy, given that policy-makers have so many other command-and-control instruments on climate policy and ways of obtaining emissions or climate-related information from the largest emitters The ways investors can and do influence Chinese firms, including SOEs, to improve climate disclosures For further reading: Edmund Downie, Erica Downs, Yushan Lou, “China's Climate Disclosure Regime: How Regulations, Politics, and Investors Shape Corporate Climate Reporting," Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy, 29 November 2023, at https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/publications/chinas-climate-disclosure-regime-how-regulations-politics-and-investors-shape-corporate-climate-reporting/.

It's the 1980s — Harlem, USA — and the 17th floor of the area's struggling public hospital is filling up with infants and children who arrive and then never leave. Some spend their whole lives on the pediatric ward, celebrating birthdays, first steps and first words with the nurses and doctors who've become their surrogate family. Welcome to Harlem Hospital at the height of the HIV and AIDS epidemics. When the nurses and doctors at this community hospital first began to see infants suffering from an unusual wasting disease, they were alarmed. They had heard that a strange new illness was killing gay men, but no one was talking about women and children. Soon, however, it became clear that HIV was sweeping through Harlem, sickening mothers who then passed it — unknowingly — to their kids. As the crisis grew, AIDS turned the pediatrics ward of Harlem Hospital into a makeshift home — and a makeshift family — for kids who were either too sick to go home, or who no longer had families to go home to. Listen to more episodes and subscribe to Blindspot here. Voices in this episode include: Dr. Margaret Heagarty was a doctor who ran the pediatric department at Harlem Hospital Center for nearly 20 years. She died in 2022. Archival interview with Margaret Heagarty comes from the Columbia Center for Oral History. Dr. Stephen Nicholas was a pediatrician at Harlem Hospital Center for two decades. Maxine Frere, a lifelong Harlem resident, is a retired nurse who spent the entirety of her 40-year career at Harlem Hospital Center. Monica Digrado was a pediatric nurse at Harlem Hospital Center. Victor Reyes was born at Harlem Hospital Center and spent much of his childhood receiving treatment and care at the hospital's pediatric AIDS unit.

In our latest episode, we have two very special guests - voices you will know - talking about a corporate trade power tool that definitely should be on the “out with the old” list! We're talking about Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) and its implications for our economies and democracies. First, a quick refresher:   What is ISDS?  ISDS grants foreign investors special rights and privileges, allowing them to sue governments outside of domestic courts. These suits often result in staggering compensations for corporations, all while undermining public policies.   ISDS has to go.    That's why we teamed up with Nobel-winning economist Prof. Joseph Stiglitz and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass), our guests on this podcast, to release a paper that we co authored with experts from Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment and the Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas at Georgetown University Law Center, about how we can exit out of ISDS in the Americas.

Putin's assault on Ukraine triggered an energy crisis that sent Europe's economies into a tailspin and put the European energy transition to the test. But how did the European Union, a leader in climate action, become so dependent on Russian oil and gas to begin with?  This week, we're posting the first episode in a new five-part series for The Big Switch. The show is a collaboration between Post Script Media and the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy. The series looks at the energy systems of Germany and Poland. Both have very different energy economies, but both became dependent on Russian energy for heating homes, firing power plants, and fueling businesses. In this episode, we look at the immediate impact of the Ukraine invasion and the historical influences behind the dependence – from Germany's pursuit of natural gas to Poland's centuries-long relationship with coal. Then we ask whether Europe's initial response to the crisis will accelerate or slow down the region's push toward green energy. You can subscribe to The Big Switch anywhere you get your podcasts.

You can find the full recording from the seminar and additional resources on the Utopia 1/13 page here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/1-13/ At the seminar, Professor Balibar presented a new paper, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes." You can read the full paper in English here: https://blogs.law.columbia.edu/utopia1313/etienne-balibar-uncovering-lines-of-escape-towards-a-concept-of-concrete-utopia-in-the-age-of-catastrophes/ In his lecture, “Uncovering lines of escape: towards a concept of concrete utopia in the age of catastrophes,” the philosopher Étienne Balibar develops three dimensions of the urgency of rethinking concrete utopias in these times of crises: first, Balibar discusses the dilemmas surrounding the concept of utopia and utopian thinking, without which there could be no “radical” politics, but at a time and in an age of at least three major catastrophes (the climate, the nuclear, and the digital); second, Balibar explores “real” or “concrete” utopias in light of the Foucauldian distinction between “utopias” and “heterotopias,” which could also be interpreted as a conversion of utopia into heterotopias; third, Balibar concludes on the transcendental problems of the different modalities of the “possible,” the “impossible,” the “necessary,” the “inevitable,” in their relationship to a concept of time (e.g. Bloch's time of “not-yet”), as displaced by the questioning of “utopia” in today's catastrophic circumstances. At the seminar, Professors Balibar and Harcourt discussed Ernst Bloch, The Spirit of Utopia (1918); Michel Foucault, “Of Other Spaces: Utopias and Heterotopias” (1967/1984); Fredric Jameson, Archaeologies of the Future (2005); Marx and Engels, The Communist Manifesto (1847; Alex Williams and Nick Srnicek, Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics (2013; Erik Olin Wright, Envisioning Real Utopias (Verso 2010); and Zapatista Army of National Liberation, Sixth Declaration of the Selva Lacandonia (2005).

Flourishing After Addiction with Carl Erik Fisher
Psychedelics for addiction and “the freedom within,” with psychiatric researcher Dr. Elias Dakwar

In mental health treatment today, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is nothing less than a sensation, and some of the most promising results are in addiction treatment. Droves of people—from researchers and clinicians to underground shamans and private funders—are hailing the re-emergence of psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA,  ayahuasca, and ketamine as a “renaissance.” But despite the hype and money being funneled in this direction, big questions remain. What do these substances actually do? How should we use them? And from a broader perspective, how are we supposed to integrate them into our existing, troubled systems?   Dr. Elias Dawkar is an addiction psychiatrist and psychiatric researcher at Columbia on the frontlines of investigating these questions. He has combined ketamine infusions with mindfulness-based relapse prevention and other addiction therapies and found some stunning rates of recovery. Despite being an accomplished scientist, though, Elias is no reductionist—a clinician and a committed meditation practitioner himself, he has a refreshingly nuanced and integrative perspective on the use of psychedelics. For him, addiction is just one manifestation of deeper efforts to free oneself from a “primordial suffering,” and he offers psychedelics in that spirit: “an opportunity for having the freedom the freedom they were looking for in the first place. The freedom, within themselves, from suffering.” In fact, he also has serious qualms about some of the ways psychedelics are being fit into medicine and the marketplace. Elias Dakwar, M.D., is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, where he is also affiliated with the Columbia Center for Healing of Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders (CHOSEN). After completing a fellowship in Addiction Psychiatry at Columbia, he began studying the use of ketamine infusions combined with mindfulness training to treat cocaine use disorders. He is now a principal investigator on several large grants evaluating ketamine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, cocaine use disorder, and alcohol use disorder. His work has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Harvard Review of Psychiatry, Biological Psychiatry, and other major scientific journals.  In this episode:  - Elias speaking at the Horizons Conference in New York City. - The connections between psychedelics and other contemplative practices, like vipassana, Vedic mantra-based meditation, and Zen meditation, and how Elias brings mind-body practices into his clinical work. - Elias's perspective on recovery and addiction, and making sense of addiction as just one manifestation of a process of suffering. - Albert Hoffman's storied “Bicycle Day”, the first recorded LSD trip. (a cool illustration here) - The Immortality Key, a historical investigation into the role psychedelics have played in the origins of Western civilization- The pitfalls of psychedelics: at the individual level, attachment to experience and reifying the trip itself. At the social level, how overmedicalization can miss out on cultural and community renewal as part of flourishing.  Sign up for my newsletter for regular updates on new interviews, material, and other writings.

Carbon Dividends (also known as Carbon Fee & Dividend) are a rising tax on burning fossil fuels that is divided evenly and returned to every American as a monthly check. Many economists insist it's a key route to winding down emissions, especially in energy production. But the support of the fossil fuel industry raises the question: what's in it for them? We spoke to Peter Marsters of the Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy to hear the case in favor. Then we spoke to Food & Water Watch's Jim Walsh on what sort of alternatives oil and gas companies are hoping to undercut with a carbon dividend. Finally, Dr. Astrid Williams of Black Women for Wellness offers questions marginalized communities and their allies should ask when assessing legislation promising big economic changes.
