"We have every intention of being as additive as possible to this space. I think change in general is uncomfortable, and I think in nonprofit work there can be an aversion to change and aversion to risk. And as much as possible, it's our job to show why we are not something to be afraid of." – Ben CollierMany nonprofits are launched in response to a pressing problem. Yet so many struggle to address those problems effectively. The key to nonprofit success lies in their ability to offer viable solutions rather than simply managing the problem. That's the mindset that drives Ben Collier's work at FarmLink, an innovative organization bridging the gap between the food waste and hunger in the US.Each year, 40% of food grown in the US goes to waste. At the same time, 34 million Americans face food insecurity. Food banks play a crucial role in addressing hunger. But their capacity is limited. That's where FarmLink is stepping in, connecting surplus produce with those in need. By adding a simple step to the process chain, FarmLink is helping end both food waste and insecurity.In this bonus Camp Redwood Sessions episode, Ben Collier shares how FarmLink was founded out of a pandemic-era passion project—and the transformations it has experienced to turn it into a thriving nonprofit. Ben also reflects on his personal growth as a young CEO and the organization's steep learning curves over the past few years. We'll learn how FarmLink fits into the food conservation cycle and how they're working to put a stop to the social stigma around food accessibility and solve hunger in America.Contents1 - FarmLink's origin and pandemic-era roots2 - Transitioning from a college project to a nonprofit foundation3 - Ben's leadership experience and evolution4 - How FarmLink fits into the food donation ecosystem5 - Ben's outlook on change and innovation in the industry6 - FarmLink's philosophy on social stigma around food assistanceLinksHistoric AgencyThe Farmlink ProjectBen Collier on LinkedInAbundance: The Farmlink StoryCulture Built My Brand

Headstorm: https://headstorm.com/AGPILOT: https://headstorm.com/agpilot/Today's episode features Headstorm CEO Lawrence King. Lawrence has over 18 years of technology strategy consulting experience. He got his start in agtech with Farmlink over eight years ago where he built an engineering team. That company ran into some hard times, and Lawrence found himself with a talented team of engineers and no work to do. He tapped into his contacts in agtech looking for strategy and engineering talent and Headstorm was born. Today, Headstorm has worked with companies all throughout agriculture and in similar industries who want to implement large-scale technology initiatives in their businesses. He'll give us a few examples of what that looks like. Also, Headstorm recently announced a product of their own called AGPILOT, which uses generative AI to give ag retailers and other agronomists a new interface to record and access their data which ultimately allows them to better serve farmer customers.Lawrence has a lot of battle-tested wisdom about what works and what doesn't work in agtech, and he shares a lot of those insights in today's interview.

Filmmaker and social activist Owen Dubeck joins host Michael Azevedo to discuss an organization called Farmlink and his documentary about Farmlink's origins and mission.    During the largest food crisis in a century, a group of college students stepped up to help those facing hunger. Their small local effort, called Farmlink, inspired hope nationally and motivated 600+ students to drop everything to help feed millions of families. Within months, the project scaled larger than anyone could have imagined and the students found themselves on the front lines of fighting hunger and ending food waste on a national level.   In addition to being a founding member of Farmlink, Owen Dubeck is also a documentary film director, specializing in telling stories that catalyze lasting social change. His films follow character-driven storylines and often amplify the messages of young people leading disruptive movements. His short documentary about Farmlink is called "Abundance."   You can now view Abundance on the Farmlink website at Farmlinkproject.org and on YouTube.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.   About the host: www.writevoicecreative.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-azevedo/   Sound Engineer: A.J.

James Kanoff co-founded The Farmlink Project in 2020 while being a student at Stanford University. When the COVID-19 pandemic caused Stanford to send students home, James and his fellow classmates knew they had to do something to help their local communities. They created The Farmlink Project with the intention to rescue surplus food from farmers and deliver to food banks and families in need. On this episode of “Food Lab Talk,” Michiel speaks with James about how The Farmlink Project has grown to recover and deliver more than one hundred and ten million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables; what inspired Kanoff to “never stop” in his pursuit of change; and why his dream is to put himself and his co-workers out of business. James Kanoff: “Maybe it's just being a college student; call it naive. But we're going to try, because what else can we do? What is the other option? The alternative is (the) food bank completely runs out of food. You have literally freeway passes of lines. We have to try something.” 01:51 Intro to James Kanoff02:55 The origins of The Farmlink Project06:03 Identifying which types of farmers have surplus produce08:07 Growing Farmlink from a one-off project to a larger movement10:03 Food loss and waste is not just a pandemic problem11:20 What gave Kanoff and other early founders the audacity to tackle food loss and waste12:19 What keeps students committed to this problem post-pandemic13:22 The state of The Farmlink Project in 202315:05 Farmlink's mission and vision for the future16:21 Moving at the speed of trust19:09 Dream big, start small, move fast22:42 How Farmlink is funded24:12 How listeners can get involved with The Farmlink Project26:39 The Farmlink communityLinksLearn more about The Farmlink ProjectNew York Times: ‘We Had to Do Something': Trying to Prevent Massive Food WasteCNN: These friends rescued harvests headed for the trash and helped turn food waste into millions of mealsLos Angeles Magazine: How Farmlink Helped Save Endangered L.A.

In this episode of The Farmlink Podcast, we delve into the power of community. As we'll discuss, community is not just a part of Farmlink's success story, but rather the secret sauce behind why and how this project has been able to continuously grow and improve over the past three years.  Outside of Farmlink, community is also one of the  key ingredients for getting people interested in mission-driven, impactful work in general. We'll first be joined by Farmlink's Co-Founder Aidan Reilly and Stella Delp, Farmlink's People Operations Lead and member of the founding team to talk all things Farmlink-related, and later we'll be joined by two special guests, Cooper Adams and Anya Dennison, who have both harnessed the power of community-building in two other powerful social impact organizations. 

Ben Collier and James Kanoff are two co-founders of The Farmlink Project, a student-led movement that has provided over 100 million pounds of nutritious food to communities facing hunger in the United States. They started the project out of their college dorm rooms at Brown and Stanford University during the pandemic by renting a U-Haul truck to connect farmers with surplus to their local food bank. In this presentation, Collier and Kanoff share Farmlink's story and how they have led the rapidly growing nonprofit through successes and struggles.

Harvard graduate, entrepreneur and chef, Nick DiGiovanni dishes on his plans to break his ninth Guinness World Record. The philanthropist reflects on his favorite one yet, a wholesome holiday donation that made a massive impact.

While crafting curriculums with professors, working on his senior thesis and interning for a Michelin star restaurant, he became a viral content creator. Nick nonchalantly explains how he juggled it all, and compares cooking in the prestigious San Francisco kitchen to his experience learning to cook from his grandparents. He reflects on his biggest takeaways, surprises and achievements competing on Master Chef and becoming the youngest guest to place third on the show. Then he shares how his business background helps him manage his cookbook, warehouse, spice company and content teams. He explains his intentions for and favorite recipes in his soon-to-be-released cookbook and his involvement with charitable organizations like Farmlink. Finally, he tells fans what he has planned next, the best and worst parts of being a content creator and what's on the menu for his perfect food day. Find episode transcripts here: https://food-network-obsessed.simplecast.com/episodes/nick-digiovanni-harvard-grad-turned-viral-chefFollow Food Network on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodnetworkFollow Jaymee Sire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaymeesireCheck Out Nick DiGiovanni's Website: https://www.nickdigiovanni.com/Follow Nick DiGiovanni on Twitter: https://twitter.com/NickDiGiovanniFollow Nick DiGiovanni on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nick.digiovanni/Follow Nick DiGiovanni on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMyOj6fhvKFMjxUCp3b_3gAFollow Nick DiGiovanni on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nick.digiovanniLearn More About Master Chef: https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/food-network-challenge/episodes/master-chefs

Today I'll be chatting with Ben Collier, CEO of The Farmlink Project. Farmlink is working to decrease both food waste and hunger by connecting farmers to food banks. I first heard about The Farmlink Project during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic when they were rescuing fresh food from farms, that would have otherwise gone to landfill, to feed hungry people. The work that they do is amazing and I'm excited to learn more!

In this episode of The Farmlink Podcast, we speak with Farmlink's Co-Founder Aidan Reilly and current Creative Director Owen Dubeck about how they've spread Farmlink's message and story from its very beginning to the present day. In only the first few months of Farmlink's existence, Aidan and Owen, along with other members of the founding team, managed to get The Farmlink Project featured in national outlets such as The New York Times, ABC World News with David Muir, and the Washington Post. As we'll discuss, this kind of continued storytelling success has been crucial in Farmlink's ability to make an impact, and is key to the creation of any social impact movement. We'll also be joined by Charles McBryde, a storyteller, recent TikTok star, and former head of branding for Farmlink, where we'll be discussing his philosophy on creating content to generate social change and the wild places his work has led him to, including, recently, an active warzone...

OverviewMeet Aiden and Ben. There's is a nonprofit fairy tale story: three college students who saw a problem in the world and built a scrappy, grassroots solution that's changing the world. The Farmlink Project connects surplus food from farms to food banks all around the country and has rescued nearly 70M# of produce since its inception. Tune in and help us fight for a world where everyone has access to the food they need.

In this episode of The Farmlink Podcast, we sit down with four members of The Farmlink Project's core operations team- the people responsible for locating, rescuing, and distributing the food that we prevent from going to waste on farms. We'll hear about the ins-and-outs of their responsibilities, as well as how they manage to balance their incredibly impactful (and sometimes hilarious) work with their busy college lives. We'll also be speaking with Farmlink's Chief Procurement Officer, Luis Yepiz, whose wealth of knowledge gained from decades of working in the American food system will take us through the large-scale problems that we face at Farmlink. He'll also discuss his own journey to becoming part of our project, as well as his hopes for creating an equitable, community-focused nationwide food system in the United States.

Access to nutritional, affordable food was a challenge for many before the pandemic, but the Farmlink Project is aiming to redistribute healthy food to communities that need it most. Farmlink's Aidan Reilly tells us more about connecting the broken pipelines in the food and agriculture industries. Despite efforts to strengthen these supply chains, many Louisiana residents continue to face obstacles in attaining dry goods and fresh food. The Gulf States Newsroom's Stephan Bisaha tells us more about the recent closures of multiple grocery stores across the South. While Louisiana released a new medical marijuana program in January, delays in pharmacy stocking and long wait lines have made the rollout anything but seamless. The Advocate's Sam Karlin joins us today for an update on the program, specifically how investors and suppliers are being impacted. Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karl Lengel. Our producer is Alana Schreiber and our digital editor is Katelyn Umholtz.

Here's a feel good conversation for you! Meet Ben Collier, a recent graduate and co-founder of The Farmlink Project. At the start of the pandemic, Ben and his brother learned that ONE THIRD of ALL food goes to waste… while MILLIONS of people go hungry. They saw a need and opportunity to change that by rescuing fresh produce that would otherwise go to landfills, and delivering this food to food banks all around the country. The Farmlink Project has since delivered more than 50 million pounds of food to those in need! And this is just the beginning…Farmlink's ultimate goal is to create a sustainable food system where 35 million+ Americans don't need to go to a food bank to feed themselves and their families; creating a world where everyone has access to healthy food they need.

This Holiday Season with so much uncertainty around we bring to you again an episode of hope and giving. Please donate generously to this non-profit The Farmlink Project started by Aidan Reilly and James Kanoff - winners of 2021 Congressional Medal of Honor Service Award.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Farmlink Project was started at the height of the pandemic in April 2020 to fight food insecurity by repurposing surplus produce. Back home in Los Angeles at the start of the pandemic, with nothing but time on their hands, Aidan Reilly and James Kanoff were like many of us disturbed by the long lines at the food pantries alongside farmers throwing away their produce, eggs, milk ... and their harvest. The boon of an efficient supply chain in the food industry can be a major problem with any slight disruption. The Farmlink Project, a non-profit run by 200 plus volunteers, operates in 48 US states and Mexico bringing the excess produce of farmers to food banks. They are the recipient of the 2021 Congressional Medal of Honor - Citizen Honors Award - awarded to outstanding Americans who have gone above and beyond to perform extraordinary acts of courage or service.

Twenty-three-year-old #AidanReilly, co-founder of #TheFarmlinkProject, says when he learned that one-third of all food on farms goes to waste, he set out to do something about it. And he did. With more than thirty percent of unused food going to waste in the U.S, The Farmlink Project links unused food on farms to food banks, making sure unused food doesn't rot in fields (also creating a massive carbon footprint) and instead gets donated to food banks, essentially feeding thousands of people each day. Please join us as we talk with Aidan about how an idea in college became a viable and sustainable way to combat food waste and feed people in need. #DeborahKobyltLIVE on all video and audio platforms, and please invite your friends, too. #DeborahZaraKobylt

In this interview, Jordan Hartzell provides an overview of the work The Farmlink Project does to redirect food waste and serve food insecure communities. Jordan speaks to how working with this organisation has changed how she thinks about food systems and networks. The extensive contributions of food waste to the climate crisis have helped Jordan and her team urge the importance of changing consumption and buying processes in the US. Jordan provides insights into the recent transformations within the organisation in order to adapt and better serve communities affected by intensifying weather events, such as in Texas and Louisiana.

In this week's Expert Corner segment, Tracy speaks to Neil Townsend about the “Three Key Pillars of Forming a Price Opinion.” Neil is FarmLink's Chief Market Analyst, and in this segment, we pull back the curtain and discuss the three pillars of forming a price opinion.  They discuss: The sheer amount of market data can be overwhelming for producers to wade through and how this is precisely where market analysts and grain marketing companies come in. They discuss market psychology and the impact this has on pricing. What about pricing on crops such as lentils that might not be as transparent? They discuss that too.

The nonprofit, grassroots organization run by 250 volunteers, was just awarded the 2021 Congressional Medal of Honor Service Award. Due to the effects of COVID-19, over 54 million people were experiencing food insecurity. At the same time, the four founders read an article in the New York Times and learned that fresh food was going to waste on farms and food banks were running on empty, so they decided to do something about it. The Farmlink Project connects farms that have a surplus of fresh, nutritious produce to communities in need with the added bonus of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions! Hear how they are addressing challenges of food waste, food insecurity and the environment--incredibly inspiring.

In this Expert's Corner segment, Tracy speaks with Derek Dery about “5 Questions to Kick Start Your Grain Marketing Plan.” Today we're discussing some key questions a producer should ask themselves to kick start their grain marketing strategy and take the guesswork out of their grain marketing decisions. In this episode, Tracy and Derek chat about: Where to start? Derek shares that the best place to start is with your farm operation's goals. For many, this is dollars and cents; however, producers implement grain marketing plans for many additional reasons. Derek shares the single most important question that producers should ask themselves before selling. They speak to the uniqueness of each farming operation and how these factors go into developing a grain marketing plan. There is no cookie cutter solution that works for every farming operation. Many producers sell by “gut feeling” or by what the neighbour is doing. Derek shares what it means to have a concrete strategy in place for selling your grain. You don't have to do it alone. As a grain farmer himself, Derek understands the tremendous pressure that farmers are under at all times, and especially as they sell their grain. These discussions are important. He shares how grain advisors can help producers remove the stress from these decisions with advice and a strong sounding board for smart marketing decisions. Farmers don't need to do this alone. Grain marketing is a complex team effort, and producers with a customized grain marketing plan remain in control even when the unexpected happens.

In this interview, Tracy and Derek discuss precisely that. They discuss: What is a grain marketing advisor, and what do they do? Where do they fit into the bigger picture of the grain marketing cycle? Why do producers hire a marketing advisor? Derek's answers may surprise you, as increased crop revenue is only just one of the goals that many farmers are looking to achieve from hiring an advisor. Derek shares the value that he and his fellow grain marketing advisors are looking to bring their clients. Tracy and Derek also end up chatting about one of the benefits of an advisor that many producers truly appreciate, especially during challenging crop years like 2021. What is that benefit? It's the ability for farmers to have someone to speak to during the good times and the bad. Making tough decisions in tough years is stressful and having an unbiased third party to talk to about these decisions can really lighten the mental burden. They chat about how to connect with an advisor if you are looking to add to your team of trusted professionals. Are you a grain producer?

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks with Michael Langemeier from Purdue University about “Sweat Equity” on the farm. The term sweat equity refers to a person's contribution toward a farm family operation. Sweat equity is generally not monetary and, in most cases, comes in the form of physical labor, mental effort, and time. Sweat equity is commonly found in the family business world, and it is a term that is well known to generations of hardworking farmers. In this episode, Tracy and Michael discuss this very important topic and cover the following points of interest: - Michael shares his definition of sweat equity. - He shares the two most common reasons why sweat equity occurs. - Tracy asks Michael to speak to the connection between farm profitability, accepting a returning family member, and sweaty equity. - Have you ever wondered if there is a way to measure and value sweat equity for estate planning purposes? You bet there is, and Michael's shares the calculations and how it can be applied within a farm business scenario. He also shares some additional factors that may affect the calculation. - He cautions our audience about the two main dilemmas that arise when calculating sweat equity and what to do about them. Are you part of a multi-generation farm family and curious about handling and fairly compensating family members for their sweat equity contributions?

In this very first segment of Expert's Corner we speak with Mark Lepp from FarmLink about “The Future of Grain Marketing.” Crop inputs and farm equipment have progressed wildly in the last 20 years, but grain marketing has stayed pretty much the same.

Billions of pounds of produce are going to waste while millions of Americans are going hungry. Seeing food lines develop all over, some University students decided to do something to change that. They created the Farmlink Project to connect farmers to food banks, delivering millions of pounds of farm fresh produce that would otherwise be wasted to feed families in need. The founder and CEO of Farmlink, James Kanoff explains how this idea has led to up to a million pounds of food per week that might otherwise been wasted, make its way from farms to food banks to hungry people. www.farmlinkproject.org

“We really want to solve this mission. We can make the supply chain efficient and not have to exist in this space, but to do that, it requires having everyone be aware of what's going on and why we need to care about it.”Rani Zimand (6:04-6:20)   Jacob Dudley, a student at the University of Wisconsin Madison studying economics and environmental studies, and Rani Zimand, a student at the University of Washington studying food systems, nutrition and health, are both co-leaders for the Farmlink Project. More than a project, this is a movement that was started by college students in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help fight food insecurity through repurposing surplus produce.    When COVID-19 hit and many food suppliers, like restaurants, were forced to shut down, the crops that farmers had planted to supply those restaurants didn't have anywhere to go. On one hand, there were huge lines at food banks, but on the other, farmers were throwing away all their produce. Farmlink originally aimed to make the supply chain more efficient, but now they're on a mission to solve this problem completely, so much so it even says on their website their goal is to put themselves out of business!    The Farmlink Project got started with founders James and Aiden who saw what was happening and just felt helpless. They rented a U-Haul pickup, grabbed some eggs from a farm and drove it to their local food bank. After that, they were off to the races.    “I could not resist the opportunity to get involved with Farmlink, last summer.  It really gave me a sense of agency when a lot of it was lost to the pandemic.” Jacob Dudley (3:19-3:30)   How does The Farmlink Project work? The organization contacts farms across all 50 states and has quickly become a nationwide organization thanks to their start online. First, the farms team, which Ronnie is a co-leader of, is the first point of contact with all farms and producers in the network. They do the initial outreach and managing of current relationships and partnerships on the production end. After connecting with someone who might have a surplus or unmarketable produce, a price point and donation agreement will be negotiated, then passed off to the logistics team. The logistics team finalizes the deal and organizes the transportation, and then passes it to Jake's team, who places the food.   The project, which involves 99% fresh produce, but on the rare occasion milk and eggs, is continually doing research to keep up-to-date data on unemployment rates, food insecurities and calculating the  distance food has to travel to make sure it's ending up in locations that need it the most. The relationship will be developed and eventually handed off to the logistics team.    Food insecurity was in decline before the pandemic. Around 13.7 million households, or 35 million people, faced food insecurity in 2019. That number rose to over 50 million when COVID-19 hit in 2020.   It's truly astonishing what the project has been able to accomplish. For example, it took only one month for the project to move one million pounds of produce. At the end of 2020 they had moved 20 million pounds and as of March 11th, 2021, they've moved 27,301,053 pounds worth of fresh produce. All of that has been possible with a team that's made up of 90-95% full-time volunteers that are college students!   The Farmlink even partnered with Chipotle for a Roundup campaign where anyone that ordered on Chipotle's app were able to round up their order amount to the next dollar which would be donated to the Farmlink Project.   “While 27 million is a huge number and hard to wrap my head around, it's just a drop in the bucket. Over 70 billion pounds of produce is wasted in the United States each year, over 20 billion of that is on the farm level and we have a long way to go.” Rani Zimand (21:35-21:51)   There's plenty of ways to get involved even if you aren't able to volunteer full-time. The first way is through Farmlink's weekly power hours which involve researching and calling farms to see if they have produce to donate. Other indirect ways include volunteering at a local food bank or farm, and if you don't have time but still want to get involved, you can donate or set up your own fundraising campaign on The Farmlink Project's website. Of course, you can always follow and share their content on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok to stay up to date and spread the word about this great mission.

Meet Jordan, a student at Brown University currently on a gap year. She serves as the Project Manager of Farmlink's Product Team. The Farmlink Project connects farmers to food banks, delivering millions of pounds of farm fresh produce that would otherwise be wasted to feed families in need. The Farmlink Project has been featured on the Washington Post, Fox News, CNBC, NYT, ABC News, and several others, and now has a team of over 250 college students! Listen to Jordan paint a vivid picture of the agricultural industry and the produce supply chain. She goes into detail on how the pandemic drastically increased food waste and the logistical nightmare of dealing with the three points of waste: in-field, “post-harvest, pre-retail,” and rejected loads. Jordan shares stories of discussions with growers, the operating hassle of directing massive trucks, and the strict product specifications of retailers. Listen to her delve into what makes a "Snow White Apple," how “pretty” strawberries can hurt truck drivers, and how farmers deal with the economic pressure of food waste. Towards the end, I read an email from another member of the Farmlink Project who credits Jordan with "joining a very male-dominated team early on" and being "vocal/formative enough to make Farmlink the welcoming, supportive, communicative place it is now." The Farmlink Project is looking for people to join their initiative! Visit their website: https://www.farmlinkproject.org/, and reach out directly to Jordan on Instagram: @jordyhartzell

February 23, 2021 Sent home from his junior year at Brown University to finish the semester online, Aidan Reilly and some friends started a project to connect farms with excess produce to food bank. That small group of undergrads have since built Farmlink Project into an overnight non-profit sensation, raising more than $5 million, partnering with Chipotle, arranging delivery of over 25 million pounds of produce, and organizing 500+ students, all in less than 12 months. Aidan will share how he went from heading into his senior year on the water polo team to instead leading Farmlink Project to nationwide acclaim, articles in the New York Times, and much more importantly - on track to double the impact in 2021 aiming to deliver 50 million pounds of produce just in time to food banks in all of the lower 48 states.  Guest Unsponsor: Food Finders. Grant's Unsponsor: Modern Raised February 19, 2021 Worldwide total COVID deaths: >2,462,767.

A group of ambitious college students start organization aimed at making sure surplus food gets directed to those who need it during the pandemic.

A group of ambitious college students start organization aimed at making sure surplus food gets directed to those who need it during the pandemic.

This past year, in response to COVID-19 mandated shutdowns and the waves of turmoil those food chain disruptions sent through the US, college students James Kanoff and Aidan Reilly launched The Farmlink Project. The grassroots organization set out to connect farmers with surplus food and food banks with surplus patrons. Within the first two months, the organization relocated more than 7 million pounds of food, raised 1.5 million dollars in donations and on-boarded 185 full-time volunteers. As COVID-19 cases continue to rise and the questions of food supply chain stability linger, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/agisuretrack-coffee-talk/message

A group of ambitious college students start organization aimed at making sure surplus food gets directed to those who need it during the pandemic.

Aidan Reilly is a 22 year old college student at Brown University who is also a co-founder of Not-For-Profit organization called 'The Farmlink Project' that connects farms with food banks to feed thousands in need while supporting essential jobs. They fundraise externally to acquire surplus produce from farms and suppliers and pay transportation costs in order to deliver fresh food to food banks in need. You can find out more about the Farmlink Project on their website https://www.farmlinkproject.org.

When the Covid lockdown started, Stella Delp was a sophomore at Stanford and determined to find a way to help. News stations were showing lines for food that were miles long, while some farms were in situations where they needed to destroy enormous amounts of food. Stella joined two friends, co-founders James Kanoff and Aidan Reilly as the third employee at newly formed Farmlink Project with the goal of reducing food waste and helping to get fresh produce to food banks. Five months later, Farmlink Project has delivered 12 millions pounds of fresh produce to food banks across the country and is currently delivering up to 1M pounds per week!Stella’s current role is Chief of Staff for a fully volunteer staff that has reached 50 full time volunteers and 140 part time volunteers. In this conversation, Stella shares her Farmlink Project journey and insights into the food industry. Famlink Project’s latest goal is to keep growing and to create a platform that farms, food banks, and other organizations looking to feed people & reduce food waste will be able to easily access. This story will leave you feeling inspired by the possibilities for a small group of people to make a huge difference and start a movement.  Follow Farmlink Project's work @iwhjpodcast  

After reading about how supply chains were disrupted by the pandemic, and how American farmers were suddenly left with food they couldn’t sell, Will Collier ‘20 (Architecture and Economics concentrator) and Aidan Reilly ‘21 (Political Science and Government concentrator) had an idea: maybe they could raise money to buy the food, and deliver it themselves to people that needed it. So in the midst of the pandemic they founded Farmlink, which to date has delivered over 10 million pounds of unsold produce to food banks across Southern California. And while their idea was borne out of this current crisis, it has grown into something far bigger than emergency relief. This episode is the third in our series on how Brown students are navigating the pandemic. Will and Aidan discuss how they came up with the idea for Farmlink, the underlying issues in our food system that have made Farmlink so impactful, and what it’s like learning to drive a semi-trailer.

Today we are shedding light on something positive that has come out of the pandemic - The Farmlink Project. Back in March, a group of college students saw an opportunity to serve their communities and they acted upon it. Now, students from Brown University, Stanford University, Cornell University and more have come together to reduce food waste and feed people in need. The Farmlink Project is a nonprofit organization that connects farms with food banks. To date, they have rescued 10,000,000 pounds of food which equates to over 7,000,000 meals. Jaiko had the honor of speaking with Mitzi Harris, the leader of the fundraising team. We talk about the origin of The Farmlink Project, their mission to reduce food waste and hunger, and how the organization has inspired the entire country during a time of hardship for so many.

Many of you have seen news clips of the horror of producers dumping milk, smashing eggs, and plowing down vegetation because of COVID-19 issues with supply chains and reduction in demand. Not content to just look away, some college students decided to do something about it and created Farmlink, a grass-roots movement to prevent food waste while also working to address food insecurity. Also featured, Pamlico Shores & Ferebee Farms, produce donators. Non-Profit: Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.

David Kingston is a mixed farmer from The Rock in southern New South Wales. He farms with his brother and they're making decisions on their farm on how to get on top of glyphosate resistant ryegrass. His brother recently attended a workshop in Temora which was put on by Farmlink and the GRDC which delved deeper into glyphosate resistance. David and his brother have made some big changes in response to the ryegrass problem they're facing and he shares their experience with us on the podcast today.

Will Renken is with The Farm Link Project, a grassroots organization who innovated a new supply chain to tackle the problems of surplus produce for farmers and a soaring demand for food at food banks. They aim to prevent food waste and alleviate food insecurity during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. 100% of donations to FarmLink are used to purchase produce and pay the wages of farmers and truckers. They prevent food from being wasted and put food onto tables of those who need it most. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/boldmovesonly/message

Today on the Regional Update Podcast, we’re chatting with Neil Durning, who is a Private Agronomist with Riverina Independent Agronomy. Neil facilitated a glyphosate resistance ryegrass day last week, supported by the GRDC and FarmLink, which was held in southern New South Wales.

For the evening of June 13, 2020, we cover three pieces of positive, feel-good news: a Korean adoptee wins a landmark case for their rights for their biological family roots; Crayola released a skin tone line; and FarmLink, a network of students and volunteers that redirects thousands of pounds of potential food waste to food banks to help during COVID-19.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Aidan and a team of college students around the country mobilized to create Farmlink, a movement to reduce the increasing amount of food waste and bridge the gap between food banks with supply shortages and farmers with nowhere to put pounds of produce. Aidan shares how it all started along with some mishaps and adventures that have ultimately brought Farmlink press coverage from The New York Times and ABC News.

In April, 2020, the New York Times ran a story by Michael Corkery and David Yaffe-Bellany about how many of the nation’s largest farms are struggling with this pandemic. It opened the world’s eyes to how farmers who service the restaurant, school, and hotel industies have been forced to destroy tens of millions of pounds...

Tony Swan is back to discuss his latest research findings! We've previously highlighted in AHRI insight and the podcast, research by Tony Swan and the team from CSIRO that demonstrated double breaks (ie. growing two break crops in sequence) were more effective in reducing annual ryegrass numbers to manageable levels than a single break crop or continuous wheat. The research team took this one step further in a project involving FarmLink in southern NSW from 2014-2017, comparing rotation strategies between disc and tyne seeding systems in a stubble retained system and their impact on ryegrass, yield and profitability. We'll be publishing an AHRI insight which will go into further detail about the results, but you can get the highlights in this podcast! Music: bensound.com

A group of farmers started one of the first organic companies in the US, 30 years ago on Montana. ------------------------------- Welcome Investing in Regenerative Agriculture, investing as if the planet mattered. Where I interview key players in the field of regenerative agriculture, people who are scaling up the sector by bringing in new money or scaling up the practises on the ground.

This time I had the great pleasure to interview Liz Carlisle, writer of the Lentil Underground, the amazing story about how five farmers created one of the first organic companies in the US. http://lentilunderground.com/thebook/ We discussed how and why she went from country singer to writer! While singing for farmers she kept hearing the issues of farmers. Many farmers in the US work just as hard as before but can’t earn enough anymore to put food on the table. Which is ironic because they are supposed to be growing it. Liz came across this story of 5 farmers in Montana who set up Timeless Food, to market organic lentils (which they were using in their organic grain rotations). But no one was eating lentils or legumes at the time, let alone organic ones. https://www.timelessfood.com/ A few things which surprised Liz while writing the book: - Many farmers have a global view - Farmers are incredible scientists - They operate on very complex 10 year rotations between grains, livestock, legumes etc. - It takes a long time to build a solid foundation for a values based company, but when that is done you can grow faster. (Timeless grew from 15 growers in 2012 to 30 in 2017) We discussed why Timeless Seeds started 30 years ago: - There was a cycle of crisis in the commodity agriculture business - Input costs were so high to force people to look for ways to reduce inputs (they started using legume covercrops to insert nitrogen into the soil) - Grain prices were so low, people were looking for outside the commodity system. This provided the perfect storm for a new company focussed on selling the cover crop and some extra income to the farmers. Policies Policies are key, now they are supporting the old commodity crop input depending farming system. You can literally not make any profit on your farm and still earn a living because of the subsidies. These policies were designed almost 100 years ago after the great depression. One of the reasons we don’t see a faster conversion to regenerative agriculture is that our policy hasn’t caught up with what we know scientifically, what growers know and what consumers want. Biggest leverage point: Crop insurance, why don’t we give lower premiers for regenerative agriculture? Liz's advice for impact investors who want to get into the regenerative agriculture space: Place based, really getting to know the local place! Regenerative agriculture is all about fitting the agricultural system to the place rather than having this one standard one opposed all over the world. Get to know the place/ecosystem really well and find the missing piece of the puzzle for a regenerative agriculture system. As an impact investor you can help to accelerate that transition which needs to come by creating those markets.

Short black, long black, double shot, double break? Coffee preference is a little like crop sequences. Perhaps you’re a ‘short black’ wheat-canola type, strong on inputs? Or a ‘long black’ type who likes to dilute their rotations a bit more? Or are you a ‘double shot’, throwing in a few break crops in a row for maximum effect? When it comes to managing annual ryegrass populations, Tony Swan and the research team from CSIRO Plant Industry and FarmLink, have shown that ‘double shots’ are the key. Growing two break crops in sequence (broadleaf crop, hay crop or long fallow) was more effective in reducing resistant ryegrass numbers to manageable levels than a single break crop or continuous wheat over a three-year rotation. And it can still be profitable.
