There are a lot of sites that will conduct all background checks for you in one click of a button, searching databases like the sex offender registry, criminal records, court records, and so on. Lots of people ask me what paid background check service I'd recommend.In this episode, we talk about a recent live demonstration we did, putting paid services to the test. Are they worth it? Should we pay for them? Are there free services out there? Or should we do our own research? We break ALL of this down in this episode.Jimmy's book, The Devil Inside: How My Minister Father Molested Kids In Our Home and Church for Decades and How I Finally Stopped Himhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1950948617/ref=cm_sw_su_dp Support us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/SpeakingOut Find us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/jimmyhintonauthor https://www.facebook.com/SilentGriefSupport And Twitter:https://twitter.com/JimmyHinton12 https://twitter.com/clarahinton Intro-- Film Glitch by Snowflake (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/snowflake/56350 Ft: reusenoiseOutro-- I Have Often Told You Stories (guitar instrumental) by Ivan Chew (c) copyright 2013 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/ramblinglibrarian/41284

Ask Kati Anything ep. 138 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Today's Kati talks about coming to terms with repressed memories and the fact that they may never be complete. She also explains how she works with people who feel like they are behind in life, the importance of eye contact in therapy, and why we can crave negative attention. She also discusses what she does when a client self injures in session, how we can know if it's safe to start exercising again in ED recovery, and why we can sometimes feel full and sick when we haven't eaten very much. Finally, she talks about weight gain in ED recovery and how to mentally manage it. Audience questions I have been in therapy for three years now to help me work through CSA and my insane workload from university (I'll be graduating in a month thankfully). I didn't know anything like that had happened to me until... I was just wondering as a therapist what approaches you would use when working with clients who feel like they are behind in life due to societal pressures? I ask this as I sometimes feel like I'm somewhat behind compared to people of my age in relation to relationships... Why do I crave negative attention? I have always had a fascination with / get excited about the idea of punishment or “getting into trouble.” I also tend to do things to draw negative attention in therapy. For example, the most recent round of therapy sessions I... Hi Kati and community, How important do you think is eye contact in therapy? Are you 'getting the most out of therapy' even if you never establish eye contact (over a longer period like one or two years)? The sensitive nature of the therapy setting makes me feel rather vulnerable and... My question is, what would you do if a client was self-injuring in session? I have really bad eczema on my hands and if I clench my fists, all the wounds split open. I have found myself doing this in session when we are talking about hard... About ED recovery: when do I know that it's time to exercise again? Are there "signs" I can look out for? Like having a regular period I have an eating disorder, anorexia. The problem is that despite my lack of intake I keep gaining weight. I'm 46 years old and am wondering if that's why. I have a registered dietitian and an eating disorder therapist and even though I'm trying to work on recovery, this constant weight gain is really distressing for me... Kati, I'm trying to recover from an eating disorder, but it's really difficult because whenever I eat, I just feel sick and overly full even though there's no way I could be full because I'm not eating enough to warrant that. Will I ever stop feeling overly full and sick and exhausted after eating? It triggers me to purge not to lose weight, but just because I feel... ---- KATI'S BOOKS Traumatized https://geni.us/Bfak0j Are u ok? http://bit.ly/2s0mULy ---- ONLINE THERAPY While Kati does not currently offer online therapy, her sponsor Betterhelp will connect you with a licensed, online counselor.

Every year, I run an "early renewal" promotion to my CSA members, to try and get as many of them as possible to sign up for next summer's CSA season. Getting them locked in early gives me a sense of security and peace of mind -- not to mention enough cash flow for the spring. But how do I do it?  In this week's podcast, I perform an audit of this year's CSA Early Renewal Campaign that I launched this fall. It ran for 8 days from October 15-22, 2022, and got 85% of my members to renew (and pay) for 2023. I'm sharing the marketing principles that were at play in making this one of my most successful promotions to date. You'll learn why I'm now so confident that I can generate these sales -- even with an $80 price increase! Whether you're a CSA farmer or not, there are some gems hiding inside this episode, that can help you get your customer to buy when you want them to.

Q & A call-in discussion with a survivor-professional, using an OPEN MIKE forum. We'll feature a survivor-professional co-host who'll field topics brought to the episode by you, the listener. ~~ Tonight's special guest is Cherie White from Covington, Tennessee, an anti bullying advocate and author of three books who uses her own story of being bullied and gaslighted to help those enduring the same abuse today. "In 6th grade I began a long lesson in the human predator/prey dynamic and a battle for my dignity, safety, and my very soul." At first she took the physical beatings, name-calling, and abuse. Cherie was a victim of what is called 'poly-victimization'. In just six months she went from being a kid who always made the honor roll, to an angry and bitter girl who made only C's and D's. "Who could concentrate on schoolwork?" she asks. Cherie attempted suicide at the age of fourteen. "Because I felt powerless, I began to bully those who were even weaker than me in attempts to grab back some of my power." ~~ On these episodes we welcome various co-hosts, survivor-professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants. Their trauma-informed perspectives as survivor-professionals will help them guide discussions on the issues of child abuse, trauma and healthy human sexuality that spring from questions and topics brought to us by our listeners. ~~ Everyone's invited to engage on tonight's show. ~~ Please visit the NAASCA.org web site.

Tonight's special guest is Regla_girl from San Diego, a survivor of child abuse and a returning NAASCA family member. Regla_girl and both her siblings were victims of ritualistic sexual abuse perpetrated by women in the family, one of them her mother. Her community was basically Irish Catholic. She thinks it started with her Aunt Lori when Regla_girl during a visit to her grandmother's home when she was about 5 or 6. There had been violence in the family long before that. Among other things, Regla_girl naturally turned to drinking and using drugs. Tonight she'll be talking about her using a 12 Step process for her personal recovery. As she hid herself and stuffed her feelings she toughened up and became a comedic bully, climbing the social ladder at other people's expense. The alcohol use, her solution, was a big problem by the time she was 18 years old. Relationship issues made her get serious about healing and recovery. And in spite of having a good career she found herself struggling with just being okay. Her eating disorders were severe in her adulthood. She got up to almost 400 lbs and down to 125. Regla_girl recalls reading the Big Book, confused and still drinking, but inside of her began a question about God, and the existence of God. She understood that the spiritual experience was the thing that could save an alcoholic. Even while still drinking, she began to get honest with God. Little miracles were happening. She heard God say "I love you," and she began a 15 year period of being clean and sober. “Never give up,” she says. “And remember it's all about having a relationship with a loving God.” She concludes, “Just keep praying.”

Tonight's special guest is Valerie Todesco from Virginia Beach, Virginia, a survivor and activist who's the author of the BLOG vis4voice.blog. "I am an artist, a writer, and an advocate," she says, "always seeking ways to shine light into the darkness and offer hope for other adult survivors to find their way toward healing." She knows all about it. "My father died when I was two. I was the youngest of four. My mother remarried less than a year later to a man who molested me throughout my childhood. I was told to keep it secret to protect my mother who would die of a broken heart if she found out." Compounding her trauma was her older sister. "She continues to be a toxic abuser to this day, never having dealt with her own trauma issues." Her stepbrother, 18 when Valerie was 10, her grandfather, her sister's older boyfriend, a lifeguard at the pool. "I would freeze and go someplace else in my mind. I still struggle with dissociation in addition to ADHD, Depression, and debilitating Anxiety. I went on to spend the next 20 years married to two abusive narcissists. It was during that time I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD." Her life has been a struggle to maintain her sanity. "It wasn't until I took my daughter and left my second husband that my trauma began to manifest in new and paralyzing ways having progressed to episodes where I faint and freeze in the midst of certain triggers." She goes on, "As an Intuitive Empath I have always had a strong desire to comfort those who are suffering, feeling as if it is part of what makes my individual gifts so special. It is that ability to want to share love and joy that drives my desire to make a positive impact in the lives of others who suffer in the shadows of their own childhood trauma."

In a wildly divided and politically charged world, we believe that decency will win the day in the end! When people are treated with decency it completely changes their outlook on life. We can help improve the mental health of others by treating them with decency. In this episode we talk about the need for the advocacy community to lead the way in showing kindness and compassion for survivors. We can greatly minimize the impact abuse has on people, and do a better job of preventing it, if we keep decency at the forefront of all that we do.

Dealing with the 5th flood this year - on top of being a CSA farmer, a doula, being a mom to 5 (including one who was in a significant accident at the beginning of the summer and was in a wheelchair) - Elan has something to say about becoming peacefully productive. In this week's episode, she talks about her journey, what she's let go of, and how she's said no… ….to create more time, space, and peace in her life.

Tonight's special guest is Charles (Chuck) Prinzen from Fairfield, California, a returning NAASCA family member. A survivor and activist, Chuck is an educator who's worked with youth for many years. His 'Me Inc Now' project offers guidance to teens (and their parents). In fact, was the Keynote Speaker at Banning Hight School in front of the Los Angeles Unified School Board (LAUSB). Chuck says that he survived 'cycles of life' and says his story of abuse is no different than many others who have experienced abuse .. the same torment, pain, feelings of loneliness and despair. "It was not till I was older that I could clearly see the past. They say that hindsight is twenty-twenty, mine was not, it was blurry." He goes on, "The first step to seeing the past clearly was when a kindhearted gift of love was given to me by a stranger." Chuck's principal goal to help instill self-worth, self-esteem, and self-respect in today's youth, and that's that 'Me.Inc.Now' (me expressing I need change now) is all about. A brighter future can be achieved by incorporating cultural change in our youth of today through understanding lessons of the past to bridge the ever growing generation gap. Change is built upon a foundation of communication, listening, and love. 'Me.Inc.Now' is committed to inspiring positive thoughts and breaking cycles of anger and resentment that prevent young individuals from being the best version of themselves. "I am thankful for learning that 'love' is most the powerful tool in my emotional toolbox," Chuck writes, "no more sorrow and loneliness, no more bruises, no more pain, no more fear."

Felisha refused to allow her past to dictate her future, so she pushed through the pain to embark on her healing journey and began to see triumph in her trauma. "I am a survivor," she says. "At seven years old, I was sexually molested by an uncle, physically abused by my stepfather and labeled as a troubled child by my mother." Felisha became quite the advocate and activist. "I created the 'Heal Your Story' Foundation to help trauma survivors and to encourage at-risk youth to transition from their hurtful experiences to living and building a better life." ~~ On these episodes we welcome various co-hosts, survivor-professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants.

Tonight's special guest is Holli Kenley from Rancho Mirage, California, a child abuse  survivor, a therapist, an author and an activist. She recently was featured on a TED Talk on 'BETRYAL: The Loss of Self '. Holli holds a Master's Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Child. She currently works in the field of psychology as an author, speaker, and workshop presenter. Through her gentle but powerful informative and restorative approach, Holli engages clinical and lay audiences, empowering them with strategies to embrace well and whole ways of being. "Within my private practice or wherever I am able to reach folks," she says, "it is my passion and purpose to support individuals on their journeys in living more well and whole lives." Holli is the author of numerous books. Her 11th book was published in January: 'SHIFTING Bravely: A Path to Growth, Healing and Transformation'. Her recent TED Talk is, 'BETRAYAL: The Loss No One Is Talking About' (October). Since she's told her abuse story on our show in the past she's wondering if we can focus tonight on BETRAYAL, and how that shows up for sexual abuse survivors. "Of course, I will connect to my personal experiences. As I speak to in my talk, it is the 'loss of self' that is greatly impacted by abuse of all kinds, and especially with sexual abuse. It is something we don't often talk about." Holli goes on, "It is deeply buried in shame. Also, I believe the recovery path looks much different than with 'loss of someone or something'. Also, in the conversation around BETRAYAL, the topic of 'forgiveness' often is misunderstood, especially when it comes to healing."

Tonight's special guest is Cricket (Tammi) Andrews from Easton, Pennsylvania, a survivor of neglect from alcoholic parents who was later abused in foster care.  We really appreciate her telling her story and welcome her back to her NAASCA family.

The US Dept. of Justice reports over 2,100 children go missing each day, and the FBI says one third will be victims of Child Trafficking. CFSI is an organization with a high success rate of bringing missing children aged 11- 16 home safely by assisting and training families and communities in facilitating the search and location efforts worldwide. CFSI's services are always offered free of charge to the parents of missing children whom meet the non-profit's criteria. CFSI for Missing Children is seeking advocates who can join its teams located in each state and assist with such efforts as raising awareness throughout social media, participating in grid searches, neighborhood canvases and blitzing your area with posters. "We hope that you will be willing to give a little of your time when a child in your area goes missing," it says on the web site. "Think about how much you would appreciate the help if your child were missing." Cricket says, "I am writing a book called 'I Should Be Dead: a survivor's journey to becoming a voice for the voiceless.' With my book I'll want to empower others to empower themselves."

This is the 9th episode in a new series on how to build adaptive capacity. In this episode, I explain how exercise improves global stress resilience. I discuss the cross-stressor-adaptation (CSA) hypothesis and how exercise acts as a buffer to chronic disease, stress, and stress-related disorders. I also detail the stress “toughening” effect and how exercise is even more effective than drug treatment among patients recovering from a stroke.

That's what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem   "Stress is your brain and body preparing you to do something effortful." Dr. Alex Auerbach “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming, you're a swimmer, if you're driving, you're a driver. If you're leading, you're by definition, a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to decide or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl “That's what I've discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day! That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik KoremSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gang is all here to recap the #CanPL season finale and awards, MLS playoff semi-finals, talk some #CanWNT friendlies and a final #CanMNT friendly against Bahrain, CSA silliness and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Tony is proud of his captain, Kristin anticipated a riot (but it was avoided), Duncan clearly doesn't like either team in the west, and Mark was right about his "Big Time Charlie" nickname (even though it still isn't a thing).

A very recent article in the UK shows the dramatic uptick in female pedophile offenders. Experts in criminal justice are now recognizing that there are FAR more female pedophiles than we ever imagined. Virtually every study that exists on female predators is outdated. The world is constantly changing and we are officially a hyper-sexual culture. Kids are getting VERY mixed messages about gender identity, sexual fluidity, and so on. We need to have a heightened awareness that the number of female child sexual abusers is increasing rapidly. We cannot assume that, because our kids are with females, they are safe. We need to ask the right questions and have the right safeguards in place for the safety of our children.

This episode we're going to get started with selling at farmer's markets. This subject will be a two-parter. Planning a garden with the intention of selling some of it is different than just selling the extra you happen to grow, and we'll talk all about all those details in part two. Today we're going to walk through all the things I didn't take into consideration before I started selling our produce in our CSA program and at multiple market stands. This is quite literally a “I did it all wrong so let me tell you how not to do it” episode! In the question of the week, we're talking green sweet potatoes. And in the DRL, it's vintage camper life, crawdads, and a vegan running coach. Let's dig in.

Tonight's special guest is Diane Jackson from Great Falls, Montana, a pioneer survivor and advocate for Human Trafficking. She's the author of 'The Girl With No Voice: A true story of child abuse, human trafficking, forced prostitution, and then miraculous freedom by the grace of God'. Reliving the painful days of her childhood and life, Diane shares her knowledge and advice to those who may be trapped in human-trafficking. She acknowledges her survival to God. Diane says. "Mama left at the age of three never to be seen again. My dad was a violent man. He would beat her. My Dad would send me to bed each night for years by squeezing my face and telling me I was the ugliest thing ever born. I struggle to this day feeling this." Diane goes on, "I have three siblings and was the black sheep in our house. Just say 'Cheryl did it!' and I would get punished." Her dad was cruel. "One story that still haunts me is when my dad seen me feeding kittens under a tree. He got a box to put them in and took me to a cliffside." He removed them one by one, shot them and threw them over cliff. I felt I was next." She started running away after that. "I felt so unloved and lonely it seems the only attention I got was when I was being sexually abused, by men, by women and my siblings. I was raped at 11 by an Airforce man. At age 13, I was set up by a girl who sold me to three business men who took me to Alaska. From 13 to 17 I was involved in Human Trafficking." Diane's been helping others for years. "I have talked to and helped some children escape abuse. I am a survivor."

We get up close to our soil in this month's Organic Gardening Podcast with a fascinating discussion about protecting soil over winter, warming up wormeries and creating veganic compost.  Fiona joins Chris Collins to share details of her trip to a new compost demonstration site in Cumbria. And discusses how she looks after her wormery in winter to protect her worms and make the most of her vermicompost. And we learn how ‘spraing' can affect potato tubers. Dr Anton Rosenfeld pays a visit to Becca Stevenson, head grower at the certified organic Five Acres Community Farm, in Ryton, to find out what's involved in a community supported agricultural (CSA) farm. Becca shows Anton how CSA farms allow communities to buy shares in what they produce to get local produce on to local plates, cut down on food waste and increase community engagement with food growing. She talks about the challenges of pests and diseases and getting through the hungry gap with bundles of stored and preserved produce.

This is not an easy subject, but a necessary one, especially when you hear the statistics on child sexual abuse. Many children don't understand what's happening to them and often can't talk about it until they are way into adult hood and what they perceive to be a 'safe place'. The impact, as we see in this episode, can be life long and pernicious. I talk to consultant psychiatrist in psychotherapy Dr Jo Stubley who leads the adult section of the trauma service at the NHS Tavistock Centre. Jo is a member of the British Psychoanalytic Society and also took part in our trauma episode in series one (do listen to this if you haven't already). We talk about what grooming is, how to look out for it (an abuser grooms not just their victim but often the whole family), how to look out for signs that your child may be experiencing abuse and if you're a survivor of non recent child sexual abuse we hope you can find something in this episode to make you feel less alone.I care about all the CSA letters I get sent but, for the first time ever, I tell my childhood friend's story, which explains why this subject is so close to my heart.Organisations that can help:Napac is the National Association for People Abused in Childhood; it has a helpline (0808 801 0331) and lots of information on its website about how to access support. It's where I refer all my readers who write in to me who have been affected by any form of non recent child abuse.There's also the NSPCC for help and information and Childline (helpline 0800 1111) for children experiencing any form of abuse.The Lucy Faithfull Foundation is the only UK-wide child protection charity dedicated solely to preventing child sexual abuse, they work with all those affected by abuse, including the abuser and they run the Stop It Now helpline: 0808 1000 9000.Make a one off donation: https://supporter.acast.com/conversations-with-annalisa-barbieriWant this podcast ad free: head over to my Patreon https://www.patreon.com/annalisabarbieri Follow us: Twitter: @AnnalisaB, Instagram: @pocketannalisaSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/conversations-with-annalisa-barbieri.

Hank began life in a poor Irish family with 4 siblings in NY. Both parents were alcoholics. At 11 he was hustling to survive in Pittsburgh, PA with bookies, pimps, and prostitutes. It was dangerous for a child alone. Eventually he served time in the juvenile detention system and as a young adult in prison for crimes he'd committed. After decades of hard living and a few near-death situations, he began facing his childhood trauma and by the 90's was happily married. When his beloved wife died from cancer in 2001 Hank promised her to fight for others on the issues of child abuse. Since then, he has worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, as a court advocate for youth, and more. Today, Hank is a minister and is very active in his community. ~~ On these episodes we welcome various co-hosts, survivor-professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants.

Today we're speaking with Roland McReynolds, Executive Director of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association which is a member-based farmer-driven, non-profit organization based in Pittsboro, North Carolina, that helps farmers and consumers in both North and South Carolina grow and eat local organic food. Interview Summary   So why don't we begin with this. Can you help listeners understand what the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association does?   So our vision is a sustainable regional food system that is good for all consumers, good for farmers, good for farmworkers, and good for our ecosystems. So to achieve that vision, we work with farmers and with communities to advocate, educate, and build connections that support sustainable food systems in the Carolinas, centered on local foods and organic agriculture. We do that by working and consulting directly with farmers to help them implement organic practices in their operations and to help them expand their market opportunities. We work with food hubs and other sorts of food businesses to strengthen their operations so that they can become reliable market outlets for small farms and improve their competitiveness and ability to connect with values-driven buyers. We provide education and training both for farmers and the public. For instance, we host the largest organic farming and food system conference in the Southeast which this year is actually taking place in downtown Durham, November 6 through 8, 2022. We also run a farm incubator facility in Concord, North Carolina to help new organic farmers learn the trade and become successful in moving into organic farming as a career. We do consumer outreach, such as our Piedmont Farm Tour event here in the Piedmont Triangle area in North Carolina and K-12 agriculture education. We do a lot of advocacy educating state and federal policy makers on the needs and concerns of sustainable farmers. And, training people at the local level on how they can be effective advocates for healthy and just food systems.   Thank you for that description in this sort of remarkably broad portfolio you have. I can imagine how busy you folks are! But let me ask a question of kind of a national scope. Are there other organizations like this around the country, and is there a coalition of such groups?   Absolutely. Many states have sister organizations, like Carolina Farm Stewardship Association, serving their communities and their regions. One national umbrella group that we're a part of is the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, which acts as a lobbying voice for our sector in Washington DC. Their members span all the way across the country. So similar types of organizations that we work with are in states everywhere, like the Northeast Organic Farmers Association in New England, Community Alliance for Family Farms in California, and everywhere in between.   So let's go back in time and speak about how the association got started. So what were its origins, why did people think there was a need for this, and who are the members?   Essentially, it was a group of organic farmers and gardeners who got together back in 1979 seeking to practice organic farming, and to gain opportunities to learn about how to grow organically. And who wanted to see a food system that was re-centered on communities and relationships and shifted away from a commodity mindset of the cheapest food grown using practices that were focused on extraction from the natural world. These were farmers and gardeners who wanted to work with the natural world and work with their neighbors to create a different vision for a food system. This is the late 1970s, and this was during the "Get Big or Get Out" mindset in agriculture. In fact, existing agricultural institutions, universities, companies, were really actively hostile to organic. It was really to create that peer-to-peer learning opportunity for farmers across North and South Carolina that CFSA originally began. Over the years, the initial project of the organization actually came to be an organic certification agency. Back before there was the green organic seal that we have in the grocery stores today, the organic label was something that was locally defined. There wasn't a national program. So these farmers got together and decided and collectively created organic standards for helping them to manage their farms in a way that was beneficial to the environment that promoted healthy living soils. And over time, as we've expanded, and as the movement has expanded, those farmers recognized the need for policy advocacy and policy change to promote more sustainable food and farming systems, and to expand our services so that we can encourage and promote new farmers to get into organic agriculture and local food.   Now that you explained the origins of the organization, I was first going to say it was the beginnings of a trend for people and farmers to become more in touch with one another through things like farmer's markets and local produce programs and farm-to-school programs, things like that. But it wasn't a new trend. It was sort of the restoration of what existed before when people were more in touch with the farmers who grew their foods, and that connection between farmers and their communities is a really interesting one. And I'd love to hear your thoughts on the role that farmers can play in addressing economic and social justice issues in their communities.   Absolutely. A really great example of how the sustainable agriculture and sustainable farming community in the Carolinas is doing just that today is our FarmsSHARE Program which was developed as a COVID response by Carolina Farm Stewardship Association back in 2020. Initially, we saw with the pandemic and the public health controls that were being put in place, saw restaurants closing and especially those farm-to-table restaurants that were buying food from small local farms in our region and across the country. So those farmers all of the sudden lost a market, and they already had crops in the ground ready to sell, and the restaurants were laying off their workers. And, you know, this predominantly is people working in the kitchens and in the service industry who tend to more likely come from oppressed backgrounds, and they didn't have money because their jobs were getting cut off. So our FarmsSHARE program initially was created to provide CSA-style boxes from those small farms to those restaurant workers who were unemployed, or underemployed, as a result of the pandemic. Thanks to some very generous funding from the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of North Carolina, CFSA was able to buy that food from those small farms. They then worked with local food hubs to have it packed, and then the food hubs delivered the food to the restaurants that they used to sell to so that the workers could have this free, fresh, healthy food. As the pandemic has evolved and revealed to a wider population, the realities of food insecurity in our communities across North and South Carolina, FarmsSHARE evolved to address people throughout society who are in need of fresh, healthy food. So the way FarmsSHARE works right now is that we provide funding to food hubs for them to purchase food directly from small farms, package that up, again, into CSA-style, (Community Supported Agriculture) boxes. And then take that to food pantries in their own communities and senior centers in their own communities so that small farms are, through this program, feeding people in need in their backyards. This is a great example of what happens when we marshal many small farms to work together to address the injustices in the food system in their own communities, and bring healthy food made in harmony with nature to the people that deserve it.   Well, it's a great example of ingenuity. It's a great example of the resilience of a local food system and how people can come together in times of crisis, and the FarmsSHARE program you talked about is really interesting. Do you think that the lessons have been learned about how these food systems can be resilient so if something like this happens again, let's hope it doesn't, but if it does, that we'll be able to respond even more quickly and effectively?   I think we have an opportunity to help people learn that lesson. I mean, there's no doubt we have seen examples of fragility of the national and international food systems as a result of COVID, and we've seen examples of local food systems being resilient. As a professor and instructor, you probably appreciate that learning doesn't just happen from experiencing it once. We have to keep pushing and keep sharing those examples. This is really where the role of policy becomes vital in terms of ensuring that our society learns these lessons. The Farm Bill is coming up, which is the massive five-year legislation that Congress brings about every few years that guides food and agriculture policy in this country. That is a crucial opportunity for advocates of resiliency in our food system to make sure that these lessons actually get ensconced in policy. That policies that direct and incense the production and distribution of food in this country are built to be resilient instead of to be commodified.   Well, so let's talk about the Farm Bill. We'll turn our attention a little bit from the local picture to the national one. So this is an enormous and enormously complex piece of legislation and, as you said, it's coming up for renewal. So what do you think the legislation can do to help support local and regional food systems, and what do you think the policy reforms might be for the 2023 Farm Bill?   It really is a crucial opportunity, and one of the places that can start is in food procurement policies within USDA programs. So when it comes to food purchasing that the government does for relief to address food insecurity, the primary metric for making those purchases, is how cheap is the food? We need to change that mindset. We need to change policy to allow for these systems to prioritize community development and supporting farmers as well as supporting communities. So, for instance, there is a proposed bill that's out there in Congress right now, the Fresh Produce Procurement Reform Act, that is an example of policy that we'd like to see incorporated into the next Farm Bill that would lower the barriers for small farms to participate in these feeding programs. And would allow the agencies that run these programs to make decisions based, not just on getting the cheapest possible food and calories for people who need it, but to actually allow them to get fresh and healthy food and do it in a way that builds community instead of extracts from communities. That's a crucial area of reform. Incenting, agroecological and conservation practices, and promoting more research on organic practices is also something that is a critical opportunity in this upcoming farm bill. There is so much that farmers do that is shaped by the policies that the farm bill puts out. The Farm Bill, as it exists right now, eliminates most of the risk for very large farms to just grow corn and soybeans, and to not worry about the environments. Changing those incentive structures, making it possible, and in fact, desirable for farmers to work in harmony with nature as a primary focus and as a primary benefit of their operations has to be a part of the kind of reform that's needed.   Bio   Roland McReynolds has served since 2007 as the Executive Director of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association (CFSA), a member-based, farmer-driven non-profit organization based in Pittsboro, NC that helps farmers and consumers in the North and South Carolina grow and eat local organic food.  He is an attorney, receiving BA and BS degrees from the University of Missouri-Columbia, and his JD from the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Law.  Roland directs CFSA's programs and policy advocacy work at the state and federal level, and has served on the USDA's Fruit & Vegetable Industry Advisory Committee; the Policy Committee of the Organic Farmers Association; the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition's Organizational Council; and the Advisory Boards for the North Carolina A&T State University College of Agriculture and Environmental Science and the North Carolina State University Department of Crop and Soil Science; among other boards and committees.  Carolina Farm Stewardship Association is the oldest and largest organic farmers organization in the Southeast. CFSA hosts educational conferences and events on sustainable agriculture and local food systems; provides training and direct technical assistance to local organic farmers; runs a training farm for new organic growers in Concord, NC; coaches food councils on effective policy advocacy; and represents organic and local food systems stakeholders with state and federal legislators and agencies. In response to COVID, CFSA has been operating a program called FarmsSHARE, a CSA-style food box program that addresses food insecurity in the Carolinas by purchasing food from small farms at a fair price and distributing that food to people in need through a statewide network of community-based food hubs.
