On this week's podcast Megan Ayers shares what she learned as she built Unvarnished Farm from a series of urban gardens into the farm in southeastern Indiana that it is today. A first-generation farmer, Megan focused on regenerative practices and soil health as she scaled her farm. She and host April Parms Jones discuss concepts that apply to farms of any size, including the ideal carbon to nitrogen ratio for farm soils, evaluating the quality of compost, cover cropping and how chemical fertilizers can harm microbial populations that could otherwise help plants.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @unvarnished_farmWebsite: unvarnishedfarm.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!Welcome to another episode of Vital Times, the CSA podcast! I'm your host, Dr. Rita Agarwal, and today we're revisiting an important topic: mentorship. We've discussed mentoring before, but its significance in the lives and careers of anesthesiologists makes it worth exploring again.Strong mentorship can have a transformative impact, especially for early career anesthesiologists. Yet, despite its many benefits, building effective mentorship programs continues to be a challenge. In this episode, we'll focus on how mentorship can help young professionals truly thrive.We're joined by two outstanding guests:Dr. Titi Aina-Jones, Associate Professor of Anesthesiology at Texas Children's Hospital. She trained at the University of Connecticut, University of Florida, and Boston Children's Hospital, and is currently pursuing a Master's in Medical Education at the University of Pennsylvania.Dr. Ioana Pasca, Associate Professor at Riverside and Loma Linda University Medical Center in the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care, and Neurocritical Care. She also serves as Associate Program Director and Director of Neuroanesthesia at Riverside University Health System, and like Dr. Aina-Jones, is currently enrolled in the Medical Education Master's Program at the University of Pennsylvania.

Linley Dixon discusses some of the challenges facing organic farming, particularly the issues of greenwashing and the need for maintaining organic standards in this week's podcast interview. Linley is the Co-Director of the Real Organic Project (ROP), in addition to running her own Adobe House Farm in Durango, Colorado. She emphasizes the importance of transparency in agricultural practices and the impact of lobbying by agribusiness to weaken organic standards. These issues have an impact even on farmers who are not certified organic, because when standards are not maintained, it causes consumers to doubt standards in general.The conversation also touches on the role of fraud in organic certification, the need for accountability, and the importance of strong regulations to protect organic integrity. This is the second episode on maintaining organic standards; the first one with Dave Chapman focused on the issue of allowing hydroponics in organics, while this episode focuses on maintaining humane standards for organic livestock and combatting organic grain fraud. Linley also delves into her academic background in soil science and plant pathology, emphasizing the significance of soil health in sustainable agriculture. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @realorganicprojectWebsite: realorganicproject.org Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.

What if full-time farming isn't the dream—and part-time farming is actually the sweet spot? In this episode, Jenny sits down with James from Honeyed Acres, a third-of-an-acre veggie farm in upstate New York, to talk about running a profitable farm without giving up a day job. James and his partner Ariana both work full-time off-farm, yet still manage to run a wildly successful CSA and market stand. Their story proves you don't need 40 acres and a tractor to make real income. They dig into the realities of building a lean, profitable side-hustle farm—including smart investments, time management, and how to avoid burnout when you're working seven days a week. Whether you're growing flowers or food, this episode is packed with insights on scaling sustainably, making smart decisions with your time and money, and defining success on your own terms. If you're a flower farmer wondering whether full-time is the only way forward, this episode is your permission slip to build a business that works for you. Tune in to hear how part-time farming can still lead to full-time fulfillment—and why profitability doesn't always mean growing bigger.Find James & Honeyed Acres Online:Follow James on Instagram: @honeyed_acres Did you enjoy this episode?

Planning and siting have a lot to do with the success of a greenhouse project. Whether building your first or your fifth greenhouse, learn best practices for site prep, drainage, snow and wind management and more with Tomm Becker of Nifty Hoops. The company began as a community initiative to support local farmers in Michigan and now offers to build any of the greenhouses they fabricate entirely for growers, or they'll help build along with friends and family as a “community build,” anywhere in the USA.In addition to the process of building and installing greenhouses, we also talk about essential considerations like orientation, dealing with rocky soil and whether to cover with a single or double layer of plastic. We also discuss the status of the NRCS high tunnel grant program, which has not been affected as much as many of the other federal ag programs and is currently running more or less the way it has in years past. If you have questions about the status of the NRCS high tunnel program you can contact Nifty Hoops at the address below. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @niftyhoopsWebsite: https://www.niftyhoops.com Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Tilth Soil makes living soils for organic growers.

Note from Film makers : Also, just wanted to mention some of the conspiracy stuff hidden in the film.… since you didn't notice any of it… lol. It was on our mind. Film starts with Tim getting a speeding ticket, when asked where he's coming from he says - Muldrow.  In real life Tim got a speeding ticket outside Muldrow which is right by Elohim City.  The only reason for him to be in that area is Elohim… and Tim said he had never been there before. Richard Snell's influence and friendship.  In real life Richard said his death would be avenged and asked to have the TV turned on the morning of his execution, April 19th.  The officer said Snelll was grinning while watching the news of the bombing.   How well or even if he knew Tim is conspiracy lore.  Snell is buried at Elohim City. Strassmaier telling Tim about Snell's bomb plot in 83'.  In real life it goes that Snell and others from the CSA were going to blow up the Federal Building in OKC, but the bomb blew up in their hands.  They took it as a sign from God not to do it. Tim and Terry selling guns, Tim says you don't know where we got these from.  In real life the story goes that Tim had Terry steal Roger Moore's (who was tied to the CIA) gun collection  to sell and make money for the bombing. The story is very fishy, especially Moore's version. Terry asks Tim where he's gonna get that much money from to buy components for the bomb, but Tim never answers.  Tim has a lighter with a Freemason logo on it. All the phone calls when Tim is at the phone booth, it is never revealed who he's talking to or what he is saying. When Tim is renting the storage room he gives her the wrong ID with one of his aliases. On other oaccasions he signs papers with different names. Tim and Strassmeir at the strip club.  In real life a stripper at Lady Godiva's says she saw Tim, Strassmeir and Michael Brescia at the strip club all together shortly before the bombing.  They all said  it didn't happen.  Strassmeir claims he only met Tim once at a gun show.  Brescia says he didn't know Tim at all. Terry flying to the Philippines. In real life Terry went many times, Tim's lawyer suspected him to meet with terrorists to learn bomb building. John Doe 2 is in the background when he rents the truck. The passenger door is heard opening and someone gets in… who is never revealed, John Doe 2.Towards the end, the gameshow he's watching in the motel room while eating Chinese food, has secret messages on the game board:  STRASSMEIR, HYPNOSIS, MKULTRA, CIA, FBI, etc.The montage at the end has images of: teeth X-rays  (Wendy Painting's theory he was micro chipped in his teeth), MK-Ultra, Aryan Republican Army, Carol Howe, Terrance Yeakey, Kenneth Trentadue,  and Jolly West. Also, on a side note you might enjoy… the announcer of the gameshow introduces the current winner as, “Dave McGowan.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Throughout 2024 and early 2025, in between writing songs and essays, touring and raising kids, a side project has been another memoir project. I declared it finished, and recorded the whole thing. The memoir is in the form of an audiobook. My Life as a Protest Singer is my third or fourth effort at writing a memoir.  This may seem ridiculous, but those who have engaged in the practice of memoir-writing know it's not.  There is so much to write about, and so much that will inevitably be left unwritten.  There are so many angles, so many approaches.  The vast majority of whatever it is will never make it in. The full production of My Life as a Protest Singer consists of 11 episodes of about an hour each, or about 11 hours of me wagging my jaw.  In its full 11 episodes it's available exclusively for members of my Community-Supported Art program.  Whether you're a paid member via my website or via Patreon, Substack, or Bandcamp, you've been given a link to my Everything folder.  It's in there, within the “Extras” folder.  If you're a CSA member and don't have the link to the Everything folder handy, just email me for it. What I have made available for free to the general public is the very abridged version, Selections from My Life as a Protest Singer, which is a 3-episode series. Starting with Selections from My Life as a Protest Singer EPISODE 1.

EDINBURG, Texas - The director of Hidalgo County's Community Service Agency (CSA) says Rotarians from across South Texas were shocked when he told them the extent of the cuts his agency is facing, should Congress adopt President Trump's budget proposals. Jaime R. Longoria met recently with Rotarians from across the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and the Coastal Bend. Specifically, Longoria spoke about cuts to the Low-Income Household Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), a utility assistance program designed to assist low-income households in meeting their immediate energy needs.  Longoria said that in President Trump's budget, $8 million that comes to Hidalgo County for LIHEAP “would disappear.” He said: “That's $8 million to assist about 8,000 families across Hidalgo County afford utilities.” Longoria continued: “Now, those 8,000 families, I know we like to villainize… I spoke at a meeting of the Rotarians across South Texas, and I mentioned, we like to villainize the vulnerables, that, well, these are people that maybe don't want to work. These are people that are of another country.  “But in reality, about 45 percent of those 8,000 are people over the age of 60. About 30 percent of those families, those individuals that come to us are children under the age of 18. So that's 75 percent of our population that is either elderly or are under the age of 18.  “So, these stereotypes that we have of who we're helping, who CSA is helping, it does not hold a lot of water. I know that the Rotarians were shocked when they heard those numbers. And these are Rotarians from Corpus Christi, Victoria, and Brownsville to Laredo, all of the Rio Grande Valley. They were shocked. “And I said, you know, don't believe the narrative. These are actual people. I can show you the numbers. That $8 million would go away.” Longoria made his comments in a webinar hosted by Hidalgo County Prosperity Task Force. The webinar comprised officials from numerous nonprofits who stand to lose funding under the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Longoria said that while this bill includes cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, his agency had to remain focused on President Trump's “skinny” budget. “What our program is really concerned about is the proposed zeroing out of the Community Services Block Grant, the zeroing out of LIHEAP, which is our utility assistance program, and the zeroing out of our AmeriCorps program.” Longoria said the President's “skinny” budget is different from the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” “All of our programs are zeroed out. So, what does that mean, financially? That's $2 million in CSBG funding. So that is the disaster funding that I talked about in Commissioners Court today, which helped us respond to the flood, which helps us respond to fires, domestic violence on a daily basis, which helped us respond during COVID so quickly, to put people in shelter and buy food for people in shelter. That $2 million would be gone.” Longoria said the CSBG funding has been in place since 1980, and its forerunner has been in place since 1968. “So, that money has been in place for 60 years to help address poverty the way Hidalgo County sees fit.” He said Cameron County would lose a little over a million dollars in CSBG funding, while Starr County would lose about $700,000. Editor's Note: Here is an audio recording of the remarks Longoria made during the Hidalgo County Prosperity Task Force webinar.  Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

This is a Vintage Selection from 2006The BanterThe Guys talk about premium products and how much is too much to pay. From wild salmon to select chocolate, everyone has their spending limit…and The Guys wish theirs was a little higher. The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys meet Farmer John Peterson to hear about the documentary The Real Dirt on Farmer John. John shares his story of suffering financial and emotional hardship to creating Angel Organics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture farms in the US.The Inside TrackThe Guys were eager to talk to John after seeing the documentary. John equates modern farms turning organic to people finding sobriety.“When it's going from a chemical based system to a natural system, it has to be repopulated by the microorganisms. Maybe it's a little like someone going into an addiction clinic and then going from a dependent life to a healthy life. We were raising very unhealthy crops that the insects were invading. It took a long time to figure out how to build things up and how to get the soil healthy,” Farmer John Peterson on The Restaurant Guys 2006BioJohn Peterson was raised on his family's farm in Illinois. The financial calamity for the farming community hit the Peterson farm in the 1980s nearly closing the farm for good. John decided to rebuild using sustainable farming practices rather than the modern chemical-reliant approach. In 1991, Angel Organics was born. They opted for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model which continued until spring of 2025. Unfortunately, farming halted due to Farmer John having a stroke.  InfoThe Real Dirt on Farmer John documentaryhttps://www.filmsforaction.org/watch/the-real-dirt-on-farmer-john-2005/InfoLocal Harvest (find CSA near you)www.localharvest.org/On Friday, June 27 Come see The Restaurant Guys LIVE with Chef Andrew Zimmern at the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center in New Brunswick, NJ.

Welcome to the second episode of our special Power Miniseries. Our guest is Katina Connaughton of SingleThread, the celebrated restaurant and farm in Healdsburg, California, that she and her husband, Chef Kyle Connaughton, co-founded in 2016. Today, Katina is the head farmer of the 24-acre property that supplies the SingleThread restaurant, farm store, and CSA program. As Katina shares with host Kerry Diamond, she never set out to become a farmer. But she found her power, and her calling, by literally digging in the dirt. “The further I stuck my hands in the earth,” she said, “the more I felt like myself.” Katina talks about the incredible journey that she and Kyle have been on, from meeting at a punk rock concert in high school, to becoming parents, living abroad, and rethinking the fine-dining experience back in California. Katina also talks about ThroughLine, the special food and film experience that celebrates the artisans, farmers, and producers she and Kyle have partnered with over the years. Our Power miniseries is presented by Veuve Clicquot and coincides with the new Power Issue of Cherry Bombe's print magazine, out now. We spotlighted more than 100 women in the worlds of food, drink, and hospitality, including Katina, who are using their power in interesting, inspiring, and innovative ways.

Dave Chapman tells us about the origins of the Real Organic Project, and why preserving organic standards is important for all growers whether certified organic or not in this week's podcast. Dave is the co-director of the Real Organic Project (ROP) and owner of Long Wind Farm in Vermont. The ROP is active in preserving the standards of the National Organic Program (NOP) in the face of lobbying by agribusiness to relax them, particularly in the areas of allowing hydroponics to be certified organic and enforcing animal welfare standards in organic production.This is the first of a two-part conversation about the ROP, this one focusing on hydroponics and the forthcoming episode will focus on preserving animal welfare standards. Dave highlights the impact on consumer trust that comes from weakening the NOP, and the future of organic standards as corporations push for changing them. The conversation also touches on the challenges posed by container production and herbicide use in “organic” farming, the health impacts of chemical agriculture and the growth of the Real Organic Certification initiative. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @realorganicprojectWebsite: realorganicproject.org Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Satanic ritual abuse, mind control and organized abuse survivor, overcomer and whistleblower, military veteran, former private contractor, anti-piracy operator, and bodyguard, prison and health industry reform activist, podcaster and host of his own YouTube channel called ‘Survivor's Story, and men's trauma and sexual abuse advocate: Daniel Growing up in an expatriate family in Nigeria, Daniel's early years were marked by a sense of unease and fear despite the cover story of having a seemingly normal childhood. Living in a wealthy household with guards and walls, he continually felt an underlying terror for reasons unknown, compounded by experiences of neglect and abandonment.As a young man, Daniel channeled his intensity into a career in security and military service, joining an elite force where he served with distinction before transitioning to private contracting in the Middle East, anti-piracy operations off the Somali coast, and close protection work for high-profile individuals. Yet, beneath his competent exterior, Daniel carried profound wounds and trauma - self-loathing, rage, and suicidal ideation that he could not explain. His disillusionment with the motives behind his work in the Middle East, realizing it was driven by oil, money, and power rather than heroism, prompted a pivotal shift. This awakening sparked a spiritual journey, diving into personal development and somatic therapy with the same fervor he had applied to his military career.In 2020, however, Daniel's life took a dramatic turn when repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) surfaced during alternative and holistic therapeutic modalities he was seeking for personal development. These visceral, somatic flashbacks revealed a harrowing truth: from a very young age, he had endured extreme abuse, including rape and torture, at the hands of multiple perpetrators. The memories were so overwhelming that they triggered periods of psychosis to cope with the unbearable reality.  Central to Daniel's healing was his journey toward forgiveness, a concept he initially resisted, fearing it would betray the children he suffered alongside. Through spiritual exploration, he came to see forgiveness as a path to freedom, not a condoning of abuse. By setting firm boundaries - such cutting off his abusers and their accomplices - he found the safety to forgive from a distance, releasing resentment and embracing love as a transformative force. This process, coupled with rigorous psychological work, helped him integrate his experiences with a renewed sense of purpose.Today, Daniel is a survivor and a leader, transforming his trauma into advocacy through his passion project and podcast, Survivor Story, focused on men's healing and in giving survivors a voice. His mission is to inspire other survivors - particularly men - to share their stories, break the silence around male child sexual abuse, and pursue healing.  CONNECT WITH DANIEL: YouTube: @SurvivorsStory - https://www.youtube.com/@UCo-bJUNOhP7nLSszDShh1iQ Website: https://survivors-story.com/CONNECT WITH THE IMAGINATION:EMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastRIFE TECHNOLOGIES:https://realrifetechnology.com/15Support the show

For this episode, we'll taking on a very serious topic. Babs Walters' memoir, “Facing the Jaguar” (June 17, She Writes Press) shares her story of surviving childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and her journey of healing after 70 years of secrecy.  In this interview, Babs talks about her past, and how she embarked on a journey of healing that continues to this day. We talk about her parents, their own background and the decision to write this book. Babs goes into the writing process, which was a struggle at times, and her perspective on what happened to her once the book was complete. She also shares the message for readers and her hopes for how they too can feel empowered to speak their truth.

As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.

In this episode of Hort Culture, the team explores the many facets of scaling horticulture operations—from small market gardens to multi-acre farms—and how those decisions affect production, marketing, labor, and personal lifestyle. They discuss how growers move from hands-on producers to business managers as scale increases, and the importance of aligning farm size with personal goals and family needs. The conversation covers retail versus wholesale sales, labor management, equipment investments, and the risks of burnout when scaling too fast. Drawing on Kentucky's agricultural history and emerging trends like high-tunnel tomatoes and cut flowers, the hosts offer practical insights on balancing the economics of scale with lifestyle choices, market realities, and the nuances of different distribution channels.Scaling Up Your Vegetable Farm for Regional MarketsK-Card Beginning Farmer ResourcesUK Department of Ag Economics Publications, Budgets & Decision AidsCenter for Crop Diversification Decision ToolsQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@l.uky.eduCheck us out on Instagram!

Longitudinal trajectory of medial gastrocnemius muscle growth in the first years of lifeAim: To define the longitudinal trajectory of gastrocnemius muscle growth in 6- to 36-month-old children with and without spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) and to compare trajectories by levels of gross motor function (Gross Motor Function Classification System, GMFCS) and presumed brain-lesion timing.Method: Twenty typically developing children and 24 children with SCP (GMFCS levels I-II/III-IV = 15/9), were included (28/16 females/males; mean age at first scan 15.4 months [standard deviation 4.93, range 6.24-23.8]). Three-dimensional freehand ultrasound was used to repeatedly assess muscle volume, length, and cross-sectional area (CSA), resulting in 138 assessments (mean interval 7.9 months). Brain lesion timing was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging classification. Linear mixed-effects models defined growth rates, adjusted for GMFCS levels and presumed brain-lesion timing.Results: At age 12 months, children with SCP showed smaller morphological muscle size than typically developing children (5.8 mL vs 9.8 mL, p < 0.001), while subsequently no differences in muscle growth were found between children with and without SCP (muscle volume: 0.65 mL/month vs 0.74 mL/month). However, muscle volume and CSA growth rates were lower in children classified in GMFCS levels III and IV than typically developing children and those classified in GMFCS levels I and II, with differences ranging from -56% to -70% (p < 0.001).Interpretation: Muscle growth is already hampered during infancy in SCP. Muscle size growth further reduces with decreasing functional levels, independently from the brain lesion. Early monitoring of muscle growth combined with early intervention is needed.

Diane Szukovathy of Jello Mold Farm tells host Rebecca Kutzer-Rice how the need for standards for floral crops at the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market (SWGM) led to the creation of the new book Floral Standards: A Practical Guide for Harvesting and Delivering Professional Quality Products. They also discuss Diane's journey in flower farming, the establishment of the Seattle Wholesale Growers Market, and the importance of quality standards in the floral industry. Diane highlights the collaborative efforts of local growers to create the Floral Standards book, which serves as a comprehensive guide for harvesting and delivering the highest quality flowers.The discussion also covers specific crops like dahlias, hellebores and sweet peas, emphasizing the need for careful handling and understanding of harvest stages to ensure product quality. She discusses the importance of harvesting methods, managing geotropism in flowers, and postharvest handling for getting flowers to market with as much vase life as possible. The conversation also touches on unique crops for local growers, pricing strategies in the flower market, and how the group at SWGM collaborated to write the book that will help growers know what the standard is for a wide variety of floral crops and how to meet it. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @jellomoldfarm, @seattlewholesalegrowersmarketWebsite: jellomoldfarm.com, swgm.coop Buy the book: swgm.coop/book/ Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Food is life but our food system isn't helping. Designed in a different century for a different purpose—to mass-produce cheap calories to prevent famine—it's now generating obesity, ill health, and premature death. We need to transform it into one that can nourish all eight billion of us and the planet we live on. That is the story learned in Food Fight by Stuart Gillespie. Dr. Gillespie has been fighting to transform our broken food system for the past 40 years. Stuart has been at the helm of the IFPRI's Regional Network on AIDs, Livelihoods, and Food Security, has led the flagship Agriculture for Nutrition and Health research program, was director of the Transform Nutrition program, and founded the Stories of Change initiative, amongst a host of other interventions into public food policy. His work has driven change across all frontiers, from the grassroots to the political.FOOD FIGHT shines a light inside the black box of politics and power and, crucially, maps a way toward a new system that gives us hope for a future of global health and justice.

We all know the future rests upon us building heart-grounded, spirit-led communities that link humanity to the Web of Life. We know that the key to this is building reciprocal relationships with our food and the land from which it comes.  Doing this is…harder.  So this week, we're speaking with Abel Pearson of Glasbren.  Abel is a friend of the podcast - we last spoke in the depths of the pandemic when he was farming 3 acres and beginning to feed the local community in ways that helped the people in a ten mile radius really to connect with the spirit of the land on which their food was grown.  Now, Abel and the team are farming 138 acres of National Trust property, and still producing food for people in the local area - but so much more than that, they are building communities of place, passion and purpose, centred on the land and the cycles of the seasons and the ways we can build authentic relationship, full of reverence for the many, many layers of life in, on and under it the soil.  He says that everything he does now is for his young son and the children to come, in the hope that they might yet enjoy abundant foodscapes, clean rivers and regenerative cultures.Glasbren https://www.glasbren.org.uk/Support the Farm https://www.glasbren.org.uk/farm-supporterGlasbren courses https://www.glasbren.org.uk/coursesEpisode #25 with Abel https://accidentalgods.life/nurturing-our-bodies-and-souls/If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership.

Who are the “Redshift Wranglers” and what can they tell us about the evolution of our universe? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome back astrophysics PhD candidate Sadie Coffin from the Rochester Institute of Technology whose focus is galactic evolution, and in particular, the spectroscopy of galaxies and their lights. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing: the Lucy spacecraft fly-by of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, which was named after the American paleoanthropologist who discovered the Australopithecus afarensis “Lucy” fossil the spacecraft was named after. Then it's time to learn a little about Sadie, who explains how questioning the unknown is what drove her to study astronomy. Chuck, Allen and Sadie talk about the awe embodied in the study of the universe and the universe itself. Like Chuck, Sadie studies galaxy evolution, but Sadie focuses on a galaxy's light, spread into spectra, and dissecting different features in that light. You'll hear about the citizen science project called “Red Shift Wranglers” that helps Sadie sift through all the spectroscopic data, and get an awesome explanation of the doppler effect and the way red shift, which measures speed, can be used to help build better maps of galactic evolution. Find out how you can get involved with the project and join the ranks of the 3,500 Redshift Wranglers who've participated so far in “Wrangling galaxies and the universe together.” (See below for links.) You'll also hear about other citizen science projects on Zooniverse like Galaxy Zoo. Sadie talks about the value of non-experts engaging with experts in a community, and the surprising number of people who want to get involved. For our first audience question, Nina asks, “If nothing can go faster than the speed of light, why can galaxies have Z greater than 1?” Sadie's explanation gets pretty technical, so we'll let her do it in the episode. Our next question comes from Jerry, who asks, “Will we someday no longer need scientists and have AI do all our research?” Sadie, who gets similar questions all the time relative to citizen science, believes these two things can be complimentary, and that in the name of improving science we can't forgo either for the other. We finish with a discussion about what defines an act of science and a work of art, the process of questioning, and the roles of humans and machines in these processes. Plus, Sadie tells us about the science-themed travel posters by Dr. Tyler Nordgren on her walls. Chuck also gets Sadie to talk about rowing and the lessons she's taken from the sport into other aspects of her life and journey as a scientist. If you'd like to know more about the Redshift Wrangler project on The Zooniverse and get involved, or to reach Sadie, visit https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/jeyhansk/redshift-wrangler or find Redshift Wrangler on Facebook and X (Twitter).   Listen to the COSMOS project episode referenced in this show with Dr. Jeyhan Kartaltepe, an astronomer and professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Watch Sadie's previous appearance in this short video shot at the COSMOS Team Meeting 2023. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

Farm Action is a nonpartisan agricultural watchdog organization led by farmers, and Research and Policy Development Director Sarah Carden joins host April Parms Jones to discuss how they provide food-system accountability for farmers. Farm Action advocates for a fair and sustainable food system that empowers farmers and rural communities by focusing on holding large corporations and the government accountable for their actions in agriculture. Hear why specialty crop producers often receive less support compared to commodity crops, and the impact on food pricing and diversity, which is part of the reason why processed foods are often cheaper than vegetables.United States food and agriculture policies currently enable a handful of the world's largest corporations to control our food and farming system at the expense of farmers, workers, and all of us who eat. Hear how Farm Action encourages consumer awareness and education about food labeling as essential parts of supporting local agriculture, and advocates for accountability from both our government and large corporations within the agricultural sector. Connect With Guest:Facebook: @FarmActionUSWebsite: https://farmaction.us Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Rimol Greenhouse Systems designs and manufactures greenhouses that are built to be intensely rugged, reliably durable, and uniquely attractive – to meet all your growing needs.
