Podcasts about defending beef the case

Vale a pena a certificação orgânica para a pecuária? Por que não temos certificações como a Regenified, do Gabe Brown e associados, a do Rancho Niman, do esposo da Nicolete que escreveu Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production ou mesmo do Instituto Savory? Meus alunos e eu tivemos essa conversa há umas semanas atrás na Comunidade I.P. e expliquei que acredito que se o recurso, o tempo e a energia empregados no processo de certificação for empregado no estudo para melhorar a produção e na melhoria da comunicação para venda direta, a certificação se torna obsoleta. O Mister Peebles carinhosamente aceitou o convite para conversar sobre o tema e trouxe uma alternativa que se adequa muito melhor para as pequenas e médias propriedades, o Selo Arte. A conversa que segue foi em torno das vantagens e desvantagens dos processos de certificação e como o Selo Arte abriu uma alternativa para produtores artesãos escoarem seus produtos por todo o pais. A necessidade da comercialização também foi reforçada pelo Mister Peebles, mas mais interessante ainda foi a fórmula de valor que ele compartilhou: V=ECO3+BP=DN Quer entender como essa fórmula pode te ajudar a ser um melhor pecuarista ecológico? Só assistir ou ouvir o podcast ;) #seloarte #pecuáriaecológica

DEFENDING BEEF, WITH NICOLETTE HAHN NIMAN For time immemorial, we have been taught that beef is bad for you and that cattle are bad for the land, the water and the climate. Nicolette Hahn Niman bought into that thinking and became a vegetarian as a college biology major active in environmental issues. As an environmental lawyer working for Waterkeeper Alliance, she explored the impact of concentrated animal feeding operations on water quality, while also getting to know “good” ranchers, one of whom, Bill Niman, she married. While still a vegetarian, she wrote the first edition of “Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production.” In this episode, we talk about the ecological and health reasons why beef can be good for you and cattle can be good for our environment, positively impacting water quality, as well as habitat for pollinators and birds.

Nicolette Hahn Niman is a California rancher, lawyer, and writer. She has authored two books about sustainable livestock farming: Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms, and Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production.

Welcome back everyone! So sorry for the little break in the action. I’m doing a lot of things these days - some might say too many. We got back from filming on the east coast and an amazing event with Dr. Bill Schindler at his food lab. You can catch the presentation by Dr. Cate Shanahan on the Food Lies youtube channel. For new listeners I’m Brian Sanders and this was for my documentary Food Lies and this film tour should be our last. We still don’t have a release date for the film, but we’re in post-production and working on it daily. My guest today is the great Nicolette Hahn Niman who is a California rancher, lawyer, and writer. She has authored two books about sustainable livestock farming: Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms, and Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production. I read her book years ago, but she’s just releasing a new and improved version that I got a pre-release copy of. It is available July 13th but you can pre-order it on https://www.chelseagreen.com/product/defending-beef/ (find the link in the show notes) She’s a really interesting person who is a great voice sticking up for beef and sustainable ag. She also has an interesting story about her own relationship with beef that we cover at the end! It’s cool to hear her take coming from her background as an environmental lawyer. All of her peers are definitely on the other side of this issue! But guess what, they happen to be wrong! And she’s a beef producer herself, so she knows the full story.  I also happen to be somewhat of a beef producer with my company Nose to Tail. Years after learning of the superior nutrition of red meat and other animal foods I decided to partner with some great ranchers and get quality products out to the united states. You can find us at http://NoseToTail.org Our most popular product which is in very high demand is the primal ground beef with liver, heart, kidney, and spleen mixed in. Such an easy and delicious way to get the extra nutrition from the organ meats in your diet. Hopefully we’re not sold out when you check us out.  We also added a liver stick to our product line which is under the biltong tab. Biltong is a traditional South African way of curing meat without any preservatives or sugar. The stick version of this is called droewors. We just ran a 2nd batch of this with liver mixed in. It’s way better than our first test batch. It tastes really good and has a nice texture. It’s almost impossible for me to come up with a healthier product you can eat on the go. This is another limited run so get it while you can at http://NoseToTail.org Check out the superb body care products made from beef tallow there as well along with our freshly ground seasonings to go with the meat! In other news, the Cows 4 Kids campaign is ending soon. Go to http://Cows4Kids.com to pitch in some money for us all to buy some cows for some of the villages in Africa we visited. Mary talked to the director of the Maasai school and he was ecstatic to hear about the funds we are raising. He is going to make a whole event of it and is contacting some media outlets.  There’s also http://sapien.org for everything else. We have the program for people ready to change their life with diet & lifestyle, the Sapien Tribe, and more information on the Sapien diet. I’ll stop talking about it - just go to Sapien.org to check it all out. You can link to everything there including the Food Lies film website.

Our current agricultural system only has 60 years left before it collapses. Conventional farming plays a huge role in the most significant global crises we’re facing today, including climate change, food scarcity, and human health decline. Now, I’m not a farmer, and I know very little about farming, but this episode is so important because not only is it extremely educational, it shows there is a solution that can change the trajectory we’re on. Robby Sansom, CEO of Force of Nature Meats, joins us to talk about the harmful effects of conventional agriculture, what regenerative agriculture is and the benefits it has for us and future generations, as well as things you can do as a consumer to make better-informed choices about the food you eat.  Episode Highlights:  3:28 Robby’s personal discovery of our degrading agricultural systems 5:41 The problem with conventional agriculture and how it negatively impacts our natural ecosystems 7:24 What is regenerative agriculture and why is it beneficial? 10:00 Digging deeper into the difference between conventional and regenerative agriculture 12:38 The economic benefit of regenerative agriculture for farmers and taxpayers 15:56 How conventional farming is decreasing nutrients and increasing toxins in our food 18:30 What’s causing the greatest extinction event we’re currently living in 20:16 The impact conventional agriculture has on water resources 23:40 How conventional farming contributes to climate change, global warming, and the decline of our food system 28:17 Why a vegan diet isn’t necessarily an environmental solution 33:36 Conventional farming’s looming expiration date and what it’s going to take for farmers to make the switch to regenerative agriculture 37:20 The undeniable benefits from switching from conventional farming to regenerative farming  41:58 “Grass-fed” and “All Natural”: How to not fall victim to misleading marketing claims around food 43:54 Tips for consumers to find transparency from food companies and to make better purchasing decisions 46:43 How Force of Nature is trying to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers and help them grow sustainable businesses 49:02 The heroic job of farmers and how we rely on them every single day 50:36 How you can positively impact the environment with your backyard garden 52:27 Robby’s favorite resources for learning more about regenerative agriculture 54:50 Why “organic” is a stepping stone but no longer the gold standard for where we need to go Links and Resources:  Force Of Nature Meats Website Force of Nature Meats on Instagram EPIC Provisions Roam Ranch Savory Institute  Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat by Nicolette Han Niman Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown Sacred Cow by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf Kiss the Ground Documentary Guest Bio Robert (Robby) Sansom is Co-Founder & CEO at Force of Nature, a regeneratively sourced meat company based in Austin, TX.

Would you like to increase your chances of living to a ripe old age in good health? What is it that centenarians do to live to 100 and beyond? Let’s dive into some of the insights from Dan Buettner’s book, The Blue Zones, and talk about some of the common traits that centenarians have in these particular places. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Centenarians and the blue zones The 9 common traits among centenarians across the blue zones Natural movement and Animal Flow The 80% rule The power of belief Key Takeaways: The 5 places that have been identified as blue zones with the highest number of centenarians are Sardinia, Ikaria in Greece, Costa Rica, Loma Linda in California, and Okinawa in Japan. The 9 things centenarians have in common across the blue zones They move naturally. They have a very strong sense of purpose. They have a downshift. The 80% rule: Eat until you’re 80% full and then stop. They include lots of plants, especially beans, into their diet. Vegetables constitute a very big part of their diet and they eat only a very minimal amount of meat. They have moderate alcohol consumption. They belong to a faith-based community. For these people, the family came first. They belong to a tribe, meaning they have real social networks. Our bodies are designed for natural movement. The more we move our bodies naturally, the better our fitness, the better our musculature, the denser our bones, and the more freshly oxygenated blood get distributed throughout our body. Certain genetic predispositions can mean that you have a gene that allows you to convert very small amounts of alcohol into good cholesterol, but that’s not the case for everyone. Contribution and helping others are hugely beneficial for the nervous system, and therefore, for our overall health. We’re now coming to understand that loneliness is really impacting people’s health in a very significant way. Action Steps: Consider one or two (or more, if you can) of the traits that centenarians have and see if you can weave that into your lifestyle. Leanne said: “We want to live a full, happy, energetic, and vital life for as long a possible, rather than just living for as long as possible but perhaps not being useful or vital or having movement of our limbs, and be able to be mobile and sharp cognitively and all the rest of that stuff.” “Looking after, mentoring, guiding the younger generations was another thing that really made these older people, the older generation, feel vital and feel alive and feel useful. All of which, I think, is essential for overall wellbeing.” Thanks for listening!

The meat industry has been much maligned for its part in climate change. But can raising cattle in pastures help turn global warming into global greening? Diana Donlon, Director, Cool Foods Campaign, Center for Food Safety Nicolette Hahn Niman, Author, Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production (Chelsea Green, 2014) Whendee Silver, Professor of Ecology, University of California, Berkeley This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on January 29, 2015.

Even amidst the concerns about the impact of cattle on global warming, the disgrace of industrialized farming and slaughterhouses, and the increased worldwide population that has sworn off beef, it’s still very much a part of our diet.  And perhaps it should be.  But is there a better, more sustainable, more humane way to process that beef and bring it to market? In what too often seems to be world of black and white thinking, can we find a middle ground?  A way in which beef is healthy, sustainable, humane and actually good for us and the environment?  Nicolette Hahn Niman thinks so. Her book about what she has discovered is Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat ProductionMy conversation with Nicolette Hahn Niman:

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks welcomes Nicolette Hahn Niman, author of “Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production” to the show. Kicking off the show talking about Nicolette’s background and how she became involved with ranching cattle, she elaborates exactly why beef is in need of defending. Nicolette’s take is that for decades it has been nearly universal dogma among environmentalists and health advocates that cattle and beef are public enemy number one. She asks if the matter really so clear cut? In “Defending Beef,” Nicolette argues that cattle are not inherently bad for either the Earth or our own nutritional health. In fact, she discusses with Erin that properly managed livestock play an essential role in maintaining grassland ecosystems by functioning as surrogates for herds of wild ruminants that once covered the globe. Grass-fed, small-scale farms can and should become the basis for American food production, replacing the factory farms that harm animals and the environment. While no single book can definitively answer the thorny question of how to feed the Earth’s growing population, Nicolette explains that, whatever the world’s future food system looks like, cattle and beef can and must be part of the solution. Tune in for an interesting discussion! This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “There are many wonderful water intensive foods but that suggestion you hear over and over again that beef is some water guzzler and some outlier, that’s just not true.” [20:00] “I think the reason why beef has been the favorite target of sensational journalism because it was the most consumed meat in the United States and considered the most desirable.” [23:00] —Nicolette Hahn Niman on The Farm Report

This week on What Doesn’t Kill You, host Katy Keiffer is talking beef and welcomes guest Nicolette Hahn Niman to the program. Nicolette is a rancher, attorney, and writer.

She has written for Huffington Post, CHOW, and Earth Island Journal. Previously, she was the senior attorney for the environmental organization Waterkeeper Alliance, where she was in charge of the organization’s campaign to reform the concentrated livestock and poultry industry, and, before that, an attorney for National Wildlife Federation. She joins Katy today to talk about her newest book, Defending Beef: The Case for Sustainable Meat Production. This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “When you plow the Earth, that is the single most damaging thing you can do.” [11:57] “There’s nothing that makes the soil more water retentive than in well managed grazing.” [14:14] —Nicolette Hahn Niman on What Doesn’t Kill You
