Podcasts about ecosystem management

Episode 12 - Doctor Makere Stewart Harawira speaks on Environmental Personhood What - The "environmental personhood", or legal personhood, movement is a result of successive governments around the world failing to adequately protect the environment, as well as to the growing recognition of Indigenous Peoples' rights and Indigenous legal concepts (Lowrie, 2021; Westerman, 2019). The movement acknowledges that environmental personhood exceeds the value to humanity. It is not that the people have a right to clean air, but that the air has a right to be clean (Parish, 2021). Rivers have become a central focus in the Rights of Nature movement. Who - In episode 12 we hear from Makere Stewart-Harawira, a Professor in Indigenous, Environmental, and Global Studies in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities, Faculty of Education, University of Alberta. Her research focus: is climate change, freshwater governance, Indigenous knowledge systems, ethics and values in relation to integrative approaches to ecosystem and human-more-than- human wellbeing, multi species justice and planetary stewardship. Dr. Stewart-Harawira is an Expert Member on a number of Commissions for the International Union for the Conservation including the Commission on Ecosystem Management, joint Specialist Group on Indigenous Peoples, Customary & Environmental Laws and Human Rights and is a National Board Member for Keepers of the Water, Canada.

Beat the censors, sign-up for our newsletter: https://firstfreedoms.ca/call_to_action_pages/stay_informed/ This is part one of a two-part interview with Maggie Braun, a passionate advocate who has never shied away from fighting for what she believes in.  From her early years being raised in Canada, Maggie's deep interest in society's workings has driven her. A lifelong environmental enthusiast, she kickstarted an activist group in high school and pursued Ecosystem Management in University. She ran for the Federal Election with the Canadian Action Party in 2011 and remained involved in hometown initiatives. A devoted mother, she homeschools her children, passing on her values. Her initial impression of Canada was a call to care for its environment, yet she became disheartened witnessing environmental issues left unattended. Maggie's life took a new turn when she engaged with the Freedom Convoy, joining the frontlines of a trucker protest. Her experience was a revelation: the convoy transformed into a circle of healing, where diverse voices shared stories of struggles and stresses. The convoy's spirit shattered media portrayals, uniting people of all backgrounds in a shared purpose. Seeing the parallel of government treatment to history's dark chapters, Maggie connected with like-minded individuals at the convoy, a powerful contrast to her former isolation. Arrested on the last day of the convoy, her courageous stance laid out the printed Bill of Rights before the police, leading to a shocking exchange with a riot officer. For Maggie, the Freedom Convoy wasn't just a protest, but a reminder that uniting people ignites genuine power. With unwavering determination, she stands ready to fight for freedom alongside the people, with a conviction that through connection comes the strength to battle for freedom till the very end. Please note the views expressed by the individual(s) in this video are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views or principles of the First Freedoms Foundation.

Enhancing Biodiversity and Resilience in Intensive Farming Systems: Results from an ETH Zürich-IFPRI Collaborative study Co-organized by IFPRI, ETH Zürich, and Bayer DEC 6, 2022 - 10:00 TO 11:30AM EST The growth of our global food production capacity over the past century is unprecedented, and has been facilitated by advances in crop breeding, mechanization, intensification, and the application of chemical inputs. This has come at a cost in terms of biodiversity loss and land degradation. This apparent trade-off between productivity and environment can be resolved through adoption of new farming practices that emphasize restoring and maintaining biodiversity on agricultural land to the benefit of soils and crops. The science underpinning such practices is still being developed and trialed, but we know enough to propose alternative management principles. Similarly, farmers have long been experimenting and adapting their farming systems, sometimes drawing on scientific outputs, but more often than not drawing on their own experiential learning and knowledge exchange across farmer networks. In recognition of the developing science coupled with the growing interest of farmers in exploring new approaches to enhance farm resilience, ETH Zurich and IFPRI are pleased to share their research findings undertaken as part of the Enhancing Biodiversity and Resilience in Crop Production project, supported by Bayer. Over the course 2021-2022, ETH Zurich and IFPRI, together with partners in Germany, France, Brazil, and the USA, conducted systematic reviews of the scientific literature, complemented with interviews with farmers in each country, to evaluate management options for enhancing biodiversity and resilience in crop production. A panel composed of farmers, researchers, government and private sector actors will then comment on these research findings through the lens of farm management realities, and offer their perspectives on how to advance this area of research and how to achieve greater coherence of multiple policies, programs, and efforts. Welcome Remarks Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Project Overview Jaboury Ghazoul, Chair of Ecosystem Management, ETH Zürich Presentations of key findings Practices and Technologies Maryam Yousefi Bardaskan, Postdoctoral researcher, Department of Environmental Systems Science, ETH Zürich Factors affecting farmers' participation in agri-environmental schemes Sergei Schaub, Postdoctoral researcher, Agroscope and ETH Zürich Spatial distribution of intensive soybean, maize, and wheat production systems in Brazil, France, Germany, the United States Zhe Guo, Senior GIS Coordinator, IFPRI Co-developing a framework and indicators for assessing the performance of biodiversity-enhancing practices Xin Zhang, Associate Professor, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Panel Discussion Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Adrian Ivory, Manager Strathisla Farms, Blairgowrie, Scotland Fernando Sampaio, Director, Produzir Conservar Incluir (PCI) Institute, Brazil Sergei Schaub, Postdoctoral researcher, Agroscope and ETH Zürich Celine Termote, Regional lead for Africa of the food environment and consumer behaviour research group, Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT Bärbel Hundt, Biodiversity Strategy Director, Bayer Crop Science Q&A Closing Remarks Xin Zhang, Associate Professor, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Note of Thanks Wei Zhang, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRI Moderator Charlotte Hebebrand, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, IFPRI More about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/enhancing-biodiversity-and-resilience-intensive-farming-systems-results-eth-ifpri Subscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription

The career of Professor Salma Talhouk in the Department of Landscape Design and Ecosystem Management, started as a biodiversity conservation ‘lab scientist', and has transformed her into a ‘people scientist'. She explains her journey as one of understanding that we protect nature by getting people to directly enjoy nature. This requires changing behavior by understanding the drivers and contexts of people's lives, which is more challenging in today's mostly urbanized societies. So she seeks small victories in raising people's awareness and enjoyable experiences, even at the level of home balconies. She launched the AUB Botanic Gardens, having already directed the AUB Nature Conservatory, and now plans innovative projects like tapping grandparents as a positive resource, developing apps that raise people's awareness and enjoyment of nature, and interpreting the songs of Fairuz that touch on Lebanon's natural beauty and diversity.

Da haben wir bereits mehr als 100 Folgen ecozentrisch veroeffentlicht und kommen nun an den Punk wo wir uns die eigentlich fundamentalste Frage unseres Podcasts stellen muessen: was ist denn eigentlich Nachhaltigkeit? Wer definiert das? Wie sehr ist dieser Begriff bereits in Stein gemeisselt und wie schaffen wir es letztendlich, dass wir alle nachhaltiger leben?Genau das diskutieren wir mit Pierre Ibisch, seines Zeichens Biologe und Professor fuer "Nature Conservation" an der Hochschule fuer nachhaltige Entwicklung in Eberswalde. Er ist Direktor des von ihm mitbegründeten Centre for Econics and Ecosystem Management und ihm wurde die Ehrendoktorwürde der Ukrainischen Nationalen Forstuniversität in Lviv (Ukrainian National Forestry University) verliehen.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Although everyone pretty much agrees that goats do a good job of consuming just the right amount of loose minerals when they are available free choice, there are still a lot of people who don't think goats (or other animals) can selectively choose to consume plants that they need when they need them.The concept of "nutritional wisdom" is something that Dr. Fred Provenza wound up studying throughout his career at Utah State University. I've heard about Dr. Provenza's research for about as long as I've raised goats, so it was really interesting to be able to talk to him in this episode.While most people would look at goats eating urine-soaked rat houses or a cow eating a rabbit and assume that it had no clue what it was doing, Dr. Provenza asked why.Full show notes here ---  https://thriftyhomesteader.com/nutritional-wisdom-of-goats/ To see the most recent episodes, visit  ForTheLoveOfGoats.comFor more informationRead about Dr. Provenza's research and other researchers studying "Behavioral Education for Human, Animal, Vegetation, and Ecosystem Management" at Behave.net.

In this podcast episode, Fred sheds light on how we've largely become disconnected from the wisdom of our palates and bodies; what we can learn from behavioral ecology to better understand what it means to reconnect with our 'nourish’ sense and eat for our health and the health of our ecosystems; and more.   *NEW PODCAST* Subscribe to The Kamea Chayne Show, a more open-ended and informal offshoot from Green Dreamer: www.kameachayne.com/show Episode notes: www.greendreamer.com/191 Weekly solutions-based news: www.greendreamer.com  Support the show: www.greendreamer.com/support  Instagram: www.instagram.com/greendreamerpodcast

Engaging a wider range of resources to connect patients with organizations within their community can help transform healthcare and improve overall well-being, according to new research published in the Journal of Business Research by faculty at Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business. The article, “Transforming Community Well-being Through Patients’ Lived Experiences,” introduces the concept of “patient ecosystem management” (PEM), which the authors describe as an organizational process that focuses on treating patients differently in terms of assessing, managing and expanding resources to achieve patient health and well-being goals.Andrew Gallan, Ph.D. - lead author of the article, assistant professor in FAU’s marketing department, and director of the FAU Center for Services Marketing and Management - joined Jim Hellegaard, Media Relations Director at FAU Business, to discuss the research.Support the show (https://business.fau.edu/giving/)

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that a weed is "a plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered". Tip's guest, Karen Launchbaugh, says that some "plants out of place" present serious ecological and ecological challenges to land managers but that some unwanted plants have redeeming qualities, particularly for domestic grazing animals. They discuss exotic species, various control strategies for weeds, success stories, integrated pest management principles, and, of course, using specific grazing timing and intensity and class of animal to suppress weed populations.

This is the final episode of Progressive Spirit. I say my goodbyes after seven years of weekly programs that always have been available for free to the public.  In this final episode, I speak with professor emeritus Fred Provenza of Utah State University. We talk about nutrition, our bodies, the falsness of factory farming and the nutrition industry, and the importance of love on this unique journey to Earth. Pretty much what Progressive Spirit has always been about… Thanks for listening! BIO: Fred Provenza is originally from Colorado where he worked on a ranch near Salida while earning a B.S. Degree in Wildlife Biology from Colorado State University. Upon receiving a B.S. degree in 1973 he became ranch manager. In total, he and his wife Sue spent 7 years working on the ranch.He and Sue left the ranch in Colorado in 1975 so he could work as a research assistant and technician at Utah State University, where he earned M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Range Science. He was a faculty member in the Department of Range Science from 1982 to 2009. He is currently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University. For the past 30 years, his group has produced ground-breaking research that laid the foundations for what is now known as behavior-based management of landscapes. That work inspired researchers in disciplines as diverse as chemical ecology, ruminant nutrition, human nutrition and biopsychology, animal welfare, landscape restoration ecology, wildlife damage management, pasture and rangeland science and management, and rural sociology and eco-development. Along with colleagues and graduate students, he has been author or co-author of 250 publications in peer-reviewed journals and books, and he has been an invited speaker at over 325 international meetings. Their efforts led to the formation in 2001 of an international network of scientists and land managers from five continents. That consortium, known as BEHAVE (Behavioral Education for Human, Animal, Vegetation and Ecosystem Management http://www.behave.net), is committed to integrating behavioral principles and processes with local knowledge to enhance ecological, economic and social values of rural and urban communities and landscapes.They seek to inspire and enable people to understand behavior, ours and other creatures, to fashion environmentally friendly solutions that reconcile differences of opinion about how to manage landscapes. In this process, everyone involved is a student attempting to better understand behavior at all levels from genes to landscapes and to use understanding of behavior to help people learn to appreciate that our differences are our collective strength in sustaining communities and landscapes that integrate diverse ecological, economic and social values and services.   

Featured speaker Jimmy Daukas, Acting VP of Programs, American Farmland Trust, discusses how and where American farmers are benefitting from ecosystem services transactions. He reviews major trends in conservation investments on agricultural lands, and suggests solutions to key challenges confronting more widespread adoption of ecosystem services best-practice on US productive landscapes.

Silvopastoral systems (SPS) enhance milk and meat production, reduce costs and are instrumental for the productive rehabilitation of degraded lands. Intensive silvopastoral systems (ISS) combine fodder shrubs planted at high densities (> 10,000 plants ha-1), trees and improved pastures. The scaling-up of such systems requires incentives to address financial and knowledge barriers, as demonstrated by the Regional Integrated Silvopastoral Approaches to Ecosystem Management pilot project. The lessons learned from this project are now being applied in the Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Sustainable Cattle Ranching Project, which will scale-up the adoption of SPS in Colombia in order to improve natural resource management, enhance environmental services, and raise productivity in participating farms. The five regions targeted by the project were selected for their proximity to strategic ecosystems and protected areas, and it is expected that increasing connectivity within them will safeguard globally important biodiversity. Two main components of the project aim at: (1) improving productivity in participating farms by establishing SPS, and (2) increasing connectivity and reducing land degradation through differentiated payment for environmental services (PES) schemes. Short-term PES will be given to land uses with high biodiversity that are profitable in the medium and long term (i.e. live fences, windbreaks, and trees in pastures). Land uses that foster high biodiversity but are not profitable (i.e. forests, connectivity corridors and wetlands) will receive short term payments by the project, and additional funding sources will be explored to guarantee long-term PES. The direct payment through the project is intended to increase tree cover in pasture landscapes and stimulate the maintenance and restoration of native forests. The project expects to preserve 5,000 ha of forests within farms, and to establish 15,750 ha of connectivity corridors and 45,000 ha of SPS; including 12,000 ha of ISS promoted through credit, technical assistance and economic incentives.

Gunther, Executive Director, Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration Greg Dalton, Commonwealth Club VP, Founder of Climate One, Moderator What do scientists predict the Earth will be like in a few decades? While imperfect and complex, computer models using historic data and forward projections suggest deterioration of agricultural land, crumbling bridges and flooded roads, and population shifts away from low-lying cities such as Miami and Amsterdam. How fast will Arctic ice melt? What does that mean for the rest of the world? What are governments and businesses doing in the Bay Area and elsewhere to prepare for new water patterns that paradoxically may bring too much water at times in some areas and drought in others? Join experts for a discussion of what the past and present can tell us about our future. This program was recorded in front of a live audience at The Commonwealth Club of California on July 9, 2010
