Last week, California dairy producers requested that the State of California use its authority to ban all cattle coming into California from HPIA-infected states until further notice. Following the industry's request for additional action, the California Department of Food & Agriculture increased its health certificate requirements. Those requirements were effective immediately. What does this mean for those looking to ship cattle into the state as well as for dairy producers in California? What protection might this provide to California herds? Joining us in the episode to talk about the avian influenza in dairy cattle situation in California and nationwide is Western United Dairies CEO Anja Raudabaugh. In addition to discussing the new restrictions on dairy cattle coming into California, we discuss how the virus is possibly being spread, what things dairy producers should keep an eye out for in their herds and how best to responsibly communicate the evolving situation.

Chuck Templeton is a Senior Managing Director at S2G Ventures, the direct investment team at Builders Vision—an impact platform providing philanthropy, investment, and advocacy tools to organizations that are building a more humane and healthy planet. S2G Ventures has 4 focus areas for investment: Clean Energy, Food & Agriculture, Oceans & Seafood, and Special Opportunities. Once an entrepreneur himself, Chuck founded OpenTable. He is many things: an ultra-runner, a former Army Ranger, a father, a businessperson. Most importantly, he is a citizen of the world who is dedicating his expertise to build, fix, and support a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. In this episode we discuss: ● The meaning of systems investing ● The importance of real market feedback on a minimal viable product (MVP) ● How to manage risk when investing in new technologies Key Takeaways: ● The oceans and the air we breathe are shared worldwide. We either all have clean oceans and air, or no one does. When the oceans die and the air is toxic, all humans die. But food stability and access to clean water are not shared worldwide. Food and water instability thrives among the world's most vulnerable populations, not the ones setting regulations. That doesn't mean rich nations are safe from future insecurity. Climate change is already impacting agriculture in once “safe” geographic environments. Once food and water insecurity hits the doorsteps of the most privileged, it will be too late for all of us. But more importantly, we have a responsibility to look after each other. A responsibility to support our fellow humans who are experiencing food and water instability NOW. A responsibility to leave the planet better off for the next generation than we found it. There are actions each of us can take now to support the transition to sustainable systems, and a healthy planet for future generations. Action can look like buying from food companies that use regenerative farming, sustainable fishing practices, and humane animal welfare. Action can look like supporting companies that have switched to renewable energy (and switching your household to renewable energy too). Action can look like voting for more regulations around emissions. Action can look like switching your financial investments out of harmful industries and into sustainable businesses. ● Chuck sets a great example for all of us. He assessed his skills, then found a way to use them in a capacity that gives him meaning, and that builds a better future for his kids (and everyone's kids). Consider how you can follow Chuck's example and use your energy, skills, and time to support what's important to you. How can you push your current company to be a better global citizen? If your company doesn't light you up with meaning, consider finding a company that's purpose aligns with what's important to you. Or look into volunteering your skills to a non-profit whose mission you believe in.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast w/ Shiona Thompson: Canada's first full-scale electric vehicle manufacturing plant officially opened in southern Ontario on Monday, with the prime minister and the province's premier saying the launch of the facility marked a national milestone. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said electric delivery vans started rolling off the line earlier in the day at the General Motors CAMI production plant in Ingersoll, Ont., that was retooled to build the company's BrightDrop all-electric vehicles. GUEST: Brian Kingston, President of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association - A major UN conference on biodiversityis getting underway in Montreal today (Tuesday) with a lofty goal to get every country to agree to protect almost one-third of the world's land and oceans before the end of this decade. But the environment may be the easy part of a meeting that is being co-hosted by Canada and China amid growing diplomatic tensions between the two – and without the political heft of world leaders, who weren't invited to attend. GUEST: Timothy Hodges, Professor of Practice, Institute for the Study of International Development - After a year that saw food prices climb by numbers not seen in decades due to record inflation, the cost of groceries in Canada is expected to continue rising in 2023, a new report suggests. The latest Canada Food Price Report released Monday estimates food prices will increase by another five to seven per cent on average next year, adding hundreds of dollars to the average family's annual expenses.

Bauchau said the accelerator-investor, which boasts an 80% survival rate, will start a new sustainability program in October 2022 in Copenhagen.Learn about:Why Denmark is home to SWG Sustainability programWhy do carbon investors focus on food? How can 80% of early-stage startup investments survive?How to apply for SWG Sustainability program In the NatureBacked podcast of Single.Earth, we are talking with investors about the vision of the new green world.**A few key takeaways from Max Bauchau:**Food and agriculture …. represent, according to different studies, around 24-25% of all CO2 emissions in the world. So this is a segment that needs to be tackled, that needs to be worked on. **We believe that Denmark is a fantastic sandbox for those kinds of companies. We have some very large companies active in Denmark's agriculture and food. And therefore creating innovation can really be a great sandbox for those companies to create to partner with those larger companies, and to really figure out what's the best way to approach this or this client, and how to create a sustainable solution that really has an impact on the world.**It is no surprise that Scandinavia is one step ahead of the rest of the world regarding sustainability. So a lot of the mentalities are already changed here. Investment is going towards sustainability; it is going towards impact startups.**Ideally, we have companies with small recurring revenues, so there is validation from the market. And we are also looking for great teams. That is, again, a very important factor. We could invest in pre-revenue businesses.

Dan Barber on How Seeds Will Revolutionize Our Food System

Time Sensitive Podcast

Dan Barber is on a mission to quite literally plant seeds for a better future. Around a decade ago, after learning that the nation's largest food companies rarely breed food for flavor—and instead select for self-serving characteristics, such as the ability to produce high yields or endure long-distance travel—Barber, a chef and the co-owner of the restaurants Blue Hill in Manhattan and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Tarrytown, New York, turned his attention to seeds. From there, he collaborated with a vegetable breeder to make the honeynut squash, a sweeter, healthier version of the butternut variety, and has since used his cooking to raise awareness about the vital roles seeds can play in our food system. A co-founder of the seed company Row 7, he is not only concerned with the beneficial impacts seeds can have on taste buds, but also on communities and the planet.Rethinking what people eat has played a constant role in Barber's practice. His cooking style, honed at restaurants including Alice Waters's Chez Panisse, favors minimal ingredients as a way of celebrating their distinctive tastes. His upstate restaurant sits on a property shared with the Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, a nonprofit operation that includes a regenerative farm and robust educational programming; there, his Blue Hill kitchen staff works with the Stone Barns teams to develop new ideas around food and farming. Barber regularly hosts educational programs, too, such as WastED, a 2015 pop-up that served delicious dishes made from ingredients most of us would consider trash.On this episode, Barber talks with Andrew about the distinctive role that restaurants can play in supporting social movements, food scraps as part of a chef's DNA, and why producing more food won't solve food insecurity.Special thanks to our Season 5 sponsor, L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Full transcriptResourcED [05:07]Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture [09:09]Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns [15:11]The Third Plate [15:11]Row 7 [27:35]Michael Mazourek [27:35]Eliot Coleman [51:43]WastED [01:00:32]

This interview at NY's Stone Barns Center for Food + Agriculture culminates with some lengthy banter about whether organic is enough, or needs to be replaced by regenerative growing practices.Eliot Coleman is an author, market gardener, and educator. His work on the USDA study in the late 1970's, "Report and Recommendations on Organic Farming" helped lead to the formation of the National Organic Program, setting the very standards that are being ignored by corporate interests today.Dan Barber is the author of the Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food, the founder of Row 7 Seed Company, and the ecologically-minded chef behind the truly farm to table menu at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. He is a multiple James Beard Award winner, including: Best Chef New York City.

The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000 Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

In this week's conversation about sustainability, we're wrapping up the discussion about Food and Agriculture. This was the biggest topic we've covered so far - the section was 8 weeks long and we didn't get to talk about everything we wanted. In particular, we didn't get to jump into court cases related to farming, commercial agriculture practices, GMOs, or immigrant worker populations. What we did learn leads us to conclude that the planet, and people, have been treated like an assembly line for far too long. We simply cannot continue to rely on the linear systems that we've been operating for more than a century and expect safe, reliable results for the future. The issues are extremely multifaceted and they show up in myriad ways. From the loss of fertility in our soil to desertification to the intentional creation of food deserts and food insecurity. These problems can only truly be solved with holistic priorities like focusing on regenerative agriculture, paying a living wage, healthy community farming techniques, a paradigm shift towards community subsistence first, and cultural education. We decided to transition at this point because there's another topic that needs a holistic view: fresh water. We want to know about limitations, where the water is, how we can live (and operate our businesses) more sustainably, plus we want to talk about places like Flint, Michigan (aub's hometown) where the infrastructure breakdown is poisoning the water supply.

This week on EnvironMental, aub did a deep dive into food deserts. More than 10% of people in the US live in a food desert, which is a geographic area where access to affordable, healthy food options are limited. Our ability to create and grow food from a centralized place also allowed for things like urban city sprawl and a decrease in rural farms - and with both of these came food deserts. There is no perfect solution for the food desert because every area is unique and we're so used to being separate from our food system, that it will take TIME to implement actual systems of change. Tune in to hear to learn about the prevalence of food deserts and the potential solutions aub found for food deserts around the country.

This week on the EnvironMental Podcast, we start talking about food and agriculture. You can tell by the tone of the episode that we're a little overwhelmed by how big this topic is and how many directions it CAN go in! Here's the good news: there's a lot of room for improvement. But the reality we're living is a little dire. Here are some facts that we want to dive deeper into this month: Food accounts for over a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions Hispanic and African American families are twice as likely to experience food insecurity during the pandemic Food has been losing nutritional value since the 50s And we are wasting 30+% of all the food we grow on a regular basis. Throughout the next months, we also want to talk about the intentional design behind food deserts, get a better understanding of the best ways to balance food growth and consumption (like, how is there so much waste AND so many hungry people?!), and talk about the meat production. This is a huge, huge topic partially because it's so important for our survival but also because the flaws of the food industry have compounded over time. As big ag has continued to grow, these flaws have become clearer and clearer. Profits over people and planet can't be the answer on a huge scale anymore! We're excited to spend this month learning about how broken the system is, and what steps we can take to help improve it!

He is widely recognized as one of the environmental community’s most prominent and influential critics of industrial agriculture and the nation’s broken approach to protecting families and children from toxic substances. Under Cook’s leadership, the EWG has pioneered the use of digital technologies to empower American families with easy-to-use, science-driven tools to help reduce their exposure to potentially harmful ingredients in food, drinking water, cosmetics, and other household products. Capitol Hill’s closely read newspaper, The Hill, regularly lists Cook in its annual roster of Washington’s top lobbyists.

Davies Korboe is a mango farmer and youth agribusiness advocate from Somanya in Southern Ghana . While some folks flock to cities for opportunity in their youth, Korboe found a different path, venturing into farming as a career and way of life. He graduated from college in 2002 and transitioned into farming full-time thereafter. Only a few years later, in 2009, Ghana's Ministry of Food Agriculture recognized Korboe with an award for “Best Farmer” in the nation. Korboe has now taken to the airwaves, with his well-cultivated messaging from years of experience, as founder and on-air host of a community radio station. The station, Rites 90.1 FM, broadcasts information about agricultural opportunities targeted for youth. He also hosts an annual mentorship program for young farmers focusing on key principles in agribusiness. Korboe's story is one of a love for agriculture and the environment, perseverance, business savviness, and a little bit of luck. What can be done to empower the next generation of farmers in Ghana? Join Alliance for Science Correspondents John Agaba and Chris Knight in conversation with Davies Korboe to learn about how a new cohort of agricultural entrepreneurs are growing a grassroots movement for change.
