Podcasts about food and water watch

Oregon Rural Action and Food and Water Watch recently conducted a rare flyover of Threemile Canyon Farms, one of Oregon's most notorious factory cattle farms, also known by the simultaneously anodyne and horrifying technical name: confined animal feeding operation, or CAFO, in Morrow County.In conjunction with that, both organizations have released detailed, interactive maps highlighting the extent of factory farms and associated pollution in Oregon.  These maps, and the accompanying reports, show that factory farms are expanding in Oregon, even as the public awareness of the devastating impacts grow.I'm joined today by Kaleb Ley from Oregon Rural and Aimee Travis-Stone with Food and Water Watch to learn about their efforts to confront and expose factory farms.We covered a lot more than we could fit into 30 minutes, so if you want to listen to the entire interview, or any of our episodes, you can find Coast Range Radio on any podcast app or at coastrange.org.Research Links/Show Notes:Oregon Rural Action Network: https://www.oregonrural.org/ORA Pollution Map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1ukX5PtNPEJOnN6UwiM6mUmilxRV95Sc&ll=45.839986808522895%2C-119.6917593922625&z=9FWW Oregon Mega-dairy fact sheet (2022): https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/FSW_2205_ORMega-Dairies.pdfFWW Oregon Factory Farm Fact Sheet: https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/FSW_0924_FFMap_OR.pdfFWW Ineractive FF National Map: https://foodandwater.maps.arcgis.com/apps/instant/filtergallery/index.html?appid=571800658574445b9295f1aa8817e8aaEvent page for Food and Water Watch webinar, Oct 24th, 6:30-7:30: Mobilize Event PageSupport the showPlease Donate to Help us Keep This Show Free!

New York State lawmakers are scheduled to adjourn for the year on June 6. Climate activists are making a final push to pass several key bills that failed to make it into the state budget, including the NY Heat, Climate Superfund, and Renewable Capitol Act. Eric Weltman of Food and Water Watch talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Back in 2015, New York State banned high-volume hydraulic fracturing for gas with water. Now a company known as Southern Tier Solutions has proposed to drill in the Southern Tier using compressed carbon dioxide to extract gas. Alex Beauchamp of Food and Water Watch discusses the campaign to get NYS to ban carbon fracking with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

One of the few controversial bills that the State Assembly passed during their two day special session was banning the dumping of radioactive waste water from the decommissioning of the Indian Point nuclear power plant into the Hudson River. Eric Weltman of the Hudson River Food and Water Watch discusses whether the Governor will sign the law, and gives an overview of the End Fossil Fuels rally and march being organized in NYC on Sept. 17 in conjunction with the UN Special Meeting on climate. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

There is still time to help the rest of America kick the habit by explaining how profitable hate and fear are for these media and social media empires. Recognition of Earth Day with sobering science facts. Food and Water Watch's Senior Iowa Organizer John Aspray reports on why the carbon pipeline should be stopped.

Eric Weltman, Senior Organizer for Food and Water Watch in NY, discusses their 2023 climate agenda in New York and nationally. Key issues include banning gas in new buildings, promoting publicly owned renewable energy, and getting the President to declare a climate emergency. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Santosh Nandabalan is a senior NY organizer for Food and Water Watch. He discusses why we need Governor Hochul to sign the two-year moratorium on proof-of-work crypto currency mining (she just did) as well as the push for the All Electric Buildings act (to ban gas in new buildings) and to push the New York Power Authority to build renewable energy. He also discusses the push to defeat the so-called permitting reform package by Sens. Manchin and Schumer that would help fossil fuel companies. With Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine: We begin with Mark Dunlea's story with Food And Water Watch on the protests against Manchin's climate side deal.

Finally, Leigh Strimbeck brings us news of the theater world in the region and discusses barriers to making theater accessible for more people.

When Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer got Senator Manchin to agree to pass the climate funding bill, he agreed to a side deal to attach a bill to weaken oversight of fossil fuel projects to the resolution to continue operating the federal government, a bill due to be voted upon by the end of September. Today more than 400 scientists released a letter imploring Congress to reject the deal and leaders of 13 national environmental groups were arrested for blockading the entrance to the US Senate. Thomas Meyer, National Organizing Manager of Food and Water Watch, talks with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

The Senate in a rare weekend session passed the Inflation Reduction Act on August 7 which includes $370 billion in funding for climate measures such as renewable energy over ten years. Yet many environmental justice and progressive climate groups raised concerns about the ongoing promotion of fossil fuels and other false climate solutions. Jim Walsh, Policy Director of Food and Water Watch, talks about the bill with Mark Dunlea of Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

#064:  Food and Water Watch Research Director and Policy Analyst Amanda Starbuck shares what it takes to get your products into the supermarket today: a lot of money and plenty of marketplace power. But what does this mean for those of us looking for real, nutritious, and climate-friendly foods?  Amanda Starbuck  is a Senior Research Director and Policy Analyst with Food and Water Watch in Washington, DC. She earned her Masters degree in Global Environmental Policy at American University and centers her work on family farms and regional food hubs. Originally from North Dakota, Amanda has farming ties on both sides of her family.To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/amanda-starbuck-corporate-consolidation-our-food-system-episode-sixty-fourThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. 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/

It’s bought, it’s sold, it’s debated. But what is organic food? This week on Meat and Three, we travel into the world of organics. In the land we now refer to as the “United States,” indigenous communities have been growing their food “organically” for centuries. But “organic food” in the U.S. is now tied to a slew of technical regulations required for certification. The United States Department of Agriculture defines organic food as food produced without the use of antibiotics, pesticides, growth hormones, synthetic fertilizers, bioengineering, or ionizing radiation. This is why organic food can be more costly than food produced with polluting chemicals.When the organic food movement went mainstream in the United States in the 1970s, it wasn’t just about compiling a list of regulations. Its roots dug deep into efforts to protect human health and the environment. Our stories this week explore the meaning of “organic.” We start off with an organic food 101. Then we report on how corporations in the United States have influenced the movement and we hear from the Gorzynski family about why they penned themselves as ornery instead of organic. In our final segment, we bring you a story on how the ties between white supremacy and organic food challenged a farmer’s market to its core.Further Reading and Listening:Hear more from Wythe Marschall and Melissa Metrick on Fields.
