Climate change is putting many of the foods we love at risk. Add in rapid population growth — the planet will be home to 9.7 billion people by 2050 — and it's clear we need to reimagine how we feed ourselves. As food security expert Leonore Newman says, “we are running short on planet.” But is society ready for replacement proteins and lab-grown meats? Whether it's cell-grown salmon or chili lime crickets, the plate of the future is going to look a little bit different. In this episode of Solve for X, we discuss the revolution in what we eat — and why it's as much about technology as it is about safeguarding our planet's future.Featured in this episode:Lenore Newman, director of the Food and Agriculture Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley, is an expert in food security and technology and holds a UFV Research Chair in Food and Agriculture Innovation.Preeti Simran Sethi teaches sustainable food systems at the University of Gastronomic Sciences.

The Field Notes podcast series from Koch Agronomic Services (KAS) breaks down the science and technology behind agronomy to help growers do more with less. In this episode, we'll discuss the importance of research in agronomic inputs. Two scientists with KAS, Stacey Wertz and Harjot Dhaliwal will talk about the challenges and rewards of working behind the scenes to maximize yields. They'll tell us what grower feedback has meant to two products, CENTURO and PROTIVATE, as they are out in the fields actively helping growers feed the world.
The term “blue foods” refers to any food that comes from an aquatic source – whether that be the ocean, a river, or the like. These foods represent a staple for the diets of billions of people around the globe. Blue foods also matter against the backdrop of climate change because they produce far fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to land-based food production. But in some situations, harvesting blue foods can upset delicate marine ecosystems. And, as global stocks of sought-after food items like tuna and cod become more scarce, we've increasingly seen competition for blue foods lead to conflicts between nations. In short, as much as we need blue foods to serve as a low-emissions food source for Earth's growing population, we also need to root out practices that harm freshwater and marine ecosystems, and global security. Joining the show today to talk about these issues are Johan Bergenas, WWF's Senior Vice President for Oceans; and Melissa Ho, WWF's Senior Vice President for Freshwater and Food. You'll hear Johan and Melissa talk about the role of blue foods in the context of global food systems (1:55), which factors are driving international conflict around blue foods (4:30), and how we can reduce that conflict by improving predictive capabilities (10:42) and scaling up practices like aquaculture to bolster food security (15:12).

With rising temperatures and shifting climates imperilling our crops, the food chain – from planting to consumer – is under threat. This could lead to higher food prices, poor nutrition, hunger and migration. Alisha is in conversation with Professor Ruth Defries, a global expert in ecology and sustainable development, to discuss how the world has become reliant on a small number of crops such as corn and rice, leaving us in a vulnerable position if these staples do not grow well as the planet heats. So how can we encourage climate resilience through crop diversity? They hear from a multi-country research project which is exploring whether indigenous crops could hold the key to creating more sustainable food systems, and meet a South African farmer who is helping keep these old growing traditions alive.

Deforestation, soil health and biodiversity are all major concerns in the agricultural industry. A recent United Nations report claims an estimated 80% of global deforestation is down to agricultural practices, as well as being the leading cause of habitat destruction. But does farming always have to lead to deforestation? Can crops and trees not only co-exist, but possibly thrive together? The emerging field of mycoforestry is a means of managing forest communities through the introduction of fungi. In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, we look at a new study which suggests edible fungi could be used, with potentially huge consequences for the future of sustainable agriculture. So what did the study find? What could it mean for deforestation? And how can all of this benefit the food industry? Guest: Professor Paul Thomas, Honorary Professor, Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Stirling

Interviews with pioneers in business and social impact - Business Fights Poverty Spotlight
Food technology can feed the world – so says Social Impact Pioneer Donna Rosa. Donna's high-flying career in food technology and nutritional science would have been enough for most of us. Instead, Donna then switched to helping entrepreneurs in emerging markets be more successful and scale their business. This year Donna has been recognised for her work across these two spaces – winning the Humanitarian Award for Service to the Science of Food in honour of Elizabeth Fleming Stie. These seem two very divergent careers but as Donna explains during this conversation they are truly linked. As Donna explains: “I am passionate about the importance of food science in food security... I realised that I had accumulated a lot of business experience over the years, and I can either die with it in my head, or I can share it with those who most need it.” Having spent decades working in multinational food businesses, Donna is the Chief Entrepreneurship Officer for EFour Enterprises– utilising finance, information systems, and business advisory for specialized enterprise support – particularly for food businesses in emerging markets. Donna's multi-career journey has at the heart of it – solving the biggest problems, leaning into them, and bringing her skills and expertise as a scientist, technologist, business leader and coach. Listen in to learn how to increase food safety and decrease food loss and waste. How simple processing such as drying and canning could extend shelf life and reduce the food poverty and lean times for many around the world. Donna shares: “No one was utilising food science or food processing to alleviate food insecurity.” Donna's approach is special - instead of simply pointing out the simplicity of the problem and solutions, she rolls up her sleeves and works directly with food entrepreneurs in emerging markets. Her mission is to share her business experience and knowledge with those who most need it. Listen in to hear Donna generously leaning in to share her top tips on getting businesses to stability and scalability. If nothing else this conversation is an inspiring journey revealing that a combination of science, technology, and business expertise can create positive social impact in the world.

What's the best way to produce affordable food, that's good for the planet, and can feed us all? Is it even possible to have all three? In this programme, Grace Livingstone visits small and large farms in England and Argentina. She hears the case made for organic farming, and asks if it's feasible for organic farms to produce enough food to feed a country. At a larger farm, she hears about why farmers rely on fertilisers and herbicides to produce large volumes of affordable food. Is it possible to farm in a way that increases biodiversity and protects the environment, whilst also remaining competitive? And what can we do as consumers to encourage and support greener farming? (Picture: Farmers Lizzie and Rob Walrond standing by a farm gate) Presented and produced by Grace Livingstone

GMOs Don't Actually Increase Food Yield To Feed The World Jeffrey M. Smith • http://responsibletechnology.org/ • Book - Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating #JeffreySmith #GeneticallyModifiedFoods #GMO Jeffrey Smith delivers transformational communication on a global scale. A bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, celebrated public speaker, and penetrating interviewer, his work has influenced the behavior and health of millions of people worldwide. Jeffrey was the architect of a successful plan to achieve the tipping point of consumer rejection of genetically engineered foods. The majority of Americans now understand that GMOs are unsafe, and the food industry is responding by removing them. His global bestseller, Seeds of Deception, ignited the anti-GMO movement by exposing industry and government lies about GMO safety. In the book Genetic Roulette, he organized the science behind GMO health risks in a unique, easy-to-digest format, prompting one reviewer to write, “Smith has to be the best science communicator alive today.” Over 25 years, Jeffrey gave 1,000 lectures and 1,000 interviews in 45 countries, trained 1,500 speakers, organized over 10,000 grassroots activists, and appeared in top news outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time Magazine, The Doctors, and The Dr. Oz Show. He introduced the science on GMOs to medical communities worldwide, inspiring thousands of practitioners to prescribe non-GMO and organic diets. Many of them recommend his most recent documentary, Secret Ingredients, (co-directed with Amy Hart) which features emotional stories of families who recover from serious diseases after switching to organic food. The film links GMOs and Roundup herbicide to cancer, infertility, autism, Alzheimer's, allergies, skin conditions, digestive disorders, and other health conditions, and motivates viewers to increase their commitment to organic. Jeffrey is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the founder of the Protect Nature Now movement to safeguard the global microbiome. He is the creator of the Healing from GMOs and Roundup summit, the 90 Day Lifestyle Upgrade, GMO Speaker Training, and A Magnificent New Normal. Jeffrey is sought after as an inspirational keynote speaker and hosts the Live Healthy Be Well podcast. His numerous awards include “Person of the Year” (Masters of Health Magazine) “Environmental Medicine Award” (American Academy of Environmental Medicine). His film Genetic Roulette was awarded Movie of the Year (Solari Report), and Transformational Film of the Year (AwareGuide).

Famed farmer Joel Salatin, the co-owner of Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia, joins Julia La Roche on episode 58. Joel, featured in the New York Times bestseller The Omnivore's Dilemma and the award-winning documentary Food Inc., has been called "the most famous farmer in America." He calls himself a "Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist lunatic farmer." In this episode, Joel shares how his style of regenerative farming is having a cinderella moment. He also outlines the frailties of a centralized industrial food system and why the decentralized, more democratized model is the way forward. According to Joel, it's the only system that can ultimately feed the world because it's the only system that honors sustainability and regenerative capacity.

In this last episode of the season, Tamar and Mike discuss what they've learned over the past six months and debate whether there's hope for solving the food and climate problem (spoiler alert: they both say, “Yes, if….). They discuss techno optimists who see the rise in food and ag tech innovations as an overall win for the climate, but admit that technology can only slow climate change if people embrace it. In this episode, Mike and Tamar weigh in on a recent Bloomberg article titled “Fake Meat Was Supposed to Save the World. It Became Just Another Fad.” They point out that naysayers also doubted the solar industry in the ‘60s and plant-based milks in the ‘90s. And look where they are now! They also dig into the belief that the way we grow food and the food we eat should be rooted in a natural system. Tamar admits that until people can disassociate naturalness from their view of the food system, we're not going to make the progress needed to save the planet.

A campaign called “ReBoot Food” was launched at the COP27 climate change conference in Egypt, to ask world governments to support a technology called precision fermentation. They claim it's possible to produce enough food to feed the whole world in an area the size of London. The process uses genetically-engineered microbes to make cheap, high quality fats and proteins, virtually identical to those produced by animal farming. Its proponents say it will free up huge tracts of farmland and could even help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A technology research group is even projecting the collapse of dairy and cattle industries by 2030 with animal meat being replaced by food grown using precision fermentation. But what is it, what are the potential pitfalls, and can the public stomach the idea of protein grown in an a bioreactor rather than on a farm? On this week's Inquiry, we ask: can microbes feed the world? Presented by Tanya Beckett Produced by Ravi Naik Researcher John Cossee Editor Tara McDermott Technical producer Mitch Goodall Broadcast Coordinator Brenda Brown (the world in a petri dish /Getty Images)
At least one in nine of the almost eight billion people who live on earth are undernourished. As the 18th century economist Robert Malthus forecast, we seem on a path where the planet can't produce enough food for the projected 10 billion people who will be alive in 2050. Climate change and wars will only make the global food situation more precarious. Is large scale famine inevitable? David Kaplan, a global leader in the new field of cellular agriculture, doesn't think so. He believes the steaks and fish fillets that he and other scientists are literally growing in their labs can eventually feed a hungry world. What do you think?

In today's episode Archie talks with Dr. Jerica Rich, Assistant Professor of Animal Science at Arkansas State University. Dr. Rich's childhood in New Hampshire did not include agriculture, but she was always surrounded by animals. In high school and college she began working with livestock and soon realized she wanted a career in Ag. With the current difficulties brought on by drought, high input prices, and inflation, Dr. Rich finds strength and encouragement in her relationship with God. She shares many verses she keeps around her office to continually remind herself of His provision and goodness. If you have questions about the topics Dr. Rich covered, you can email her at jerich@astate.edu.“Work willingly at whatever you do as if you're working for the Lord rather than for people.”(Colossians 3:23) “Trust in the Lord with all your heart & lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:4-5)“Pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (I Thessalonians 5:17-18) That Farm Life Podcast is a resource of Agri Health Network.

To set some context here, a lot of the episodes on this show are focused on efforts to scale solutions: venture capital, commodity crops, hardware and software. And those are incredibly important to continue to find ways to improve our global food system. But I think too often there's a tendency in agriculture to think something has to have the potential to reach some sort of global scale and FEED THE WORLD in order to matter. If you've listened to many of these episodes, you already know that I believe innovation and progress can many different forms. Some will look like solutions that can improve the way millions or billions of people eat. Others, which I equally enjoy, are stories of craft, of skill, of care, of community. Stories that are delightfully unscalable, but no less important. Many times, these are the stories that can teach us the most about agriculture and the most about ourselves. I think we have a story like that for you today. It also helps that it ties together a few passions of mine: cider, nature, and value-added agriculture. Today's episode speaks to several of the seven consumer values we talked about in episode 300, especially the need for a connection to an authentic source. Brendan and his wife Kris were living in the bay area working in tech. They had some fruit trees in their backyard and seven years ago Brendan dove headfirst into cider making. Eventually they bought property in Calaveras County, about 140 miles away with a long term plan of eventually starting an orchard-based cidery. Today, that is alive and well as Posterity Ciderworks. Some changes in the timeline led them to start sourcing apples from what he calls feral orchards, which have somehow survived and even thrived for decades with no care. These feral orchards have also spawned wild trees which Brendan and Kris also forage from for their low intervention, fine ciders that really reflect the place they are grown. They make these ciders with no sulfites, no added sugars, no preservatives and no artificial flavorings or colors. All of this while raising a family and starting and expanding their own dry-farmed, non-conventional silvopastured orchard. We'll talk all about that, but first just a couple of cider terms to be aware of. We will mention abv, which is alcohol by volume. Yes, this is hard cider, not apple juice. The ABV goes up with higher sugar content which is fermented into alcohol. Those sugars are measured in fruit via a system called brix, which is another term you will hear mentioned. Finally, Brenan will talk about racking, which is just moving the fermenting cider from one container to another, which is usually done to get it off the lees, which is the dead yeast and other particles that settle at the bottom of the container. Or to move it to a barrel, bottle, or other secondary fermentation container.
