Podcasts about food production

In this episode from 2018 I talked about how few things on my property give me more enjoyment than my various garden ponds.  There is something peaceful about moving water and fish.  The bonus is if we want fish tacos tonight and didn't take any out of the freezer, with 4 bread balls and 5 minutes I can have us 4 nice pan fish for cooking. Aquaculture is function stacking in the best way.  You get a beautiful piece of landscaping, wildlife habitat and free food as a bonus. Join Me Today to Discuss… Why bother with aquaculture in the … Continue reading →

Many farmers run small businesses with limited time to evaluate different energy solutions. Javier Arroyo is on a mission to help this group become more self-sufficient and cost-efficient through batteries and smart software. He founded Edgy Systems for industries and the business segment Edgy Battery for farmers after previously working with battery engineering at Volvo Cars in Gothenburg.

in this episode, we're bringing together four of the most compelling talks from our archive, each focused on a different aspect of the same issue - sustainability in food production.We hear about a breathing cultivation system that captures carbon dioxide from any industrial source and converts it directly into microalgae-based food ingredients.We get into the science of upcycling food, that's ingredients that would otherwise leave the food system entirely, given a second life in something people actually buy and eat.And we get into the detail of the food industry's net zero targets, what they are and how to get there.it's clear there's still work to do across the whole food chain. None of this is solved. But all of it is moving, and faster than the headlines often suggest.

Food security expert David Lobell is immersed in the data of agriculture. He uses satellite imagery, yield data, and advanced computational modeling to analyze the roughly 500 million farms worldwide to increase productivity and ensure global food security – now and in the future. Though food is often taken for granted, feeding a hungry world is our greatest environmental challenge, he says. Lobell goes on to explain how data can do much more than increase yields – it also cuts costs, prevents conflicts, reduces emissions and deforestation, and improves nutrition. Smart farming is key to food security and avoiding the problems that stem from hunger, Lobell tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

What is the future of farming and rural life? Adam Rutherford hosts Radio 4's discussion programme which starts the week, asking about the future of food production and the communities that support it. Minette Batters was the first female president of the National Farmers' Union. Born and raised on the family farm that she took over running, she became a committed advocate for the UK farming industry. UK agriculture has faced challenges from Brexit, Covid as well as international conflict and energy crises. Her new book, Harvest, part memoir and manifesto, makes a case for how and why we must rally to support British farming and rural life. Dave Goulson is Professor of Biology at the University of Sussex. Modern, intensive farming systems producing pesticide-laced foods at scale, he says, are bad for us and bad for the planet. He believes that it is time to change the way we produce food today, making the case for sustainable agriculture. In Eat the Planet Well he argues that consumers can lead this change, even where governments fail to act. Melissa Harrison has written columns, nature diaries, a series of novels and non fiction books including All Among the Barley, Rain and At Hawthorn Time, and a book for children. Her latest novel, The Given World, is a portrait of rural society, village life and the English countryside which explores a way of life, exploring social tension and the rhythms of the natural world.

To state the obvious nutrition is considered the cornerstone of public health, a, if not the, primary preventative measure against chronic disease. Nevertheless, the OBBBA cut SNAP funding by an estimated $187 billion; since the start of the pandemic food prices have increased by roughly 30%; and, going forward are at risk due to uncertain trade policy, global shocks including the ongoing war in Iran, water supply/access and widespread drought and other climate-related issues include the looming super El Nino event that is expected to disrupt planting cycles worldwide and breach thermal safety margins - causing most major crops to suffer further yield declines. Add to all this the questionable science behind the MAHA movement.

Global food production is being threatened by an interruption to the supply of fertiliser, according to the boss of one of the world's biggest fertiliser producers. Fertiliser is something that farmers put on fields to help plants grow.When the United States and Israel struck Iran on 28 February, the Strait of Hormuz, which is a narrow waterway between Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, effectively shut down. About one-third of the world's fertiliser trade normally passes through the strait.Less fertiliser means less food is grown, and if there is less food available, then prices rise.The UN World Food Programme estimates that the Middle East conflict could cause 45 million additional people to experience severe hunger in 2026.Learn about the news in a level of English you can understand with Neil and Georgie.

FARM BILL BATTLES, FERAL HOG CRISIS, AND THE FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FARMS This hard-hitting episode of Rural Route with Trent Loos delivers a powerful look at the biggest challenges facing American agriculture today. Joined by Jay Truitt from Texas, Trent dives straight into the chaos surrounding the Farm Bill, exposing growing uncertainty in Congress and raising serious concerns about government expansion, policy shifts, and the future of rural America. The conversation pulls back the curtain on political maneuvering, highlighting how key provisions are being reshaped and what it means for farmers, ranchers, and producers across the country. The discussion doesn't stop there. Trent and Jay tackle the rising threat of feral hogs—an out-of-control crisis devastating farmland, spreading disease, and threatening food production. They question whether massive government spending will solve the problem or make it worse, while calling for stronger biosecurity and real, common-sense solutions. From global food aid debates to the economic reality of feeding the world, this episode challenges viewers to think critically about America's role on the global stage. The conversation also shines a spotlight on the dairy industry's rapid growth and the obstacles holding it back, including water concerns, local resistance, and questions about long-term sustainability. And it's not all policy—listeners also get a glimpse into the culture of rural life, from horse racing headlines to the fascinating world of mule competitions. But the message is clear: America's farmers are facing serious pressure, and the time for leadership, accountability, and action is now.

In this episode of Hort Culture, Brett, Jessica, and Ray explore the exciting question of how much food you can really grow at home. While social media often shows impressive gardens producing huge harvests from small spaces, the hosts remind listeners that success looks different for everyone. Growing your own tomatoes, onions, peppers, squash, and other favorites can be incredibly rewarding, even if you are not producing every item on your dinner plate. They encourage gardeners to focus on what their families enjoy eating, start small, and celebrate the wins—whether that is harvesting your first pepper, building gardening memories with your kids, or enjoying a meal made with homegrown ingredients. The episode highlights that gardening should be fun, realistic, and personal, with the goal of finding joy in the process rather than comparing yourself to perfect gardens online.Resources for Home Growers: VegetablesPlate it up!

War & Wheat - Dennis VoznesenskiMy Substack (Subscribe)*Leave a review on Apple or Spotify* (nothing does more to help grow the show)Podcast Starter PacksOffshore Finance/Kleptocracy & Money LaunderingGeopolitics/Economics/Economic DevelopmentExplorers & AdventurersInvestigative Journalists---Dennis Voznesenski is an Australian analyst who has spent his career deep in the world of global agriculture. He is the author of 'War & Wheat'.In this conversation, Dennis explains how geopolitical forces, from trade wars to energy policy, ripple through agricultural markets in ways that are difficult to predict but impossible to ignore. We discuss the unique position of Australian farmers, who compete on the global stage without the subsidies that prop up producers in the US, Europe, and beyond. The unbelievable masses of production. The efficiency of it. How the America's are basically where it all comes from. We get into why farmers are increasingly investing in on-farm storage as a strategic response to volatile markets, how infrastructure gaps in developing regions are holding back enormous agricultural potential, and the tension between the push for greater productivity and the long-term sustainability of the land itself. Dennis also walks us through how historical events provide essential context for understanding where agricultural markets are heading today, and helps explain the current moment through the lens of agriculture. Timstamps.00:00 The Global Landscape of Agriculture12:11 Insights from the Agricultural Industry24:38 The Role of Technology and Innovation31:22 The Impact of Global Events on Agriculture52:56 Future Prospects and Opportunities

This week on The Last Gay Conservative Podcast, we connect three seemingly unrelated stories that reveal the same dangerous pattern: performance replacing governance.• American politicians campaigning in Munich• A Senate candidate's radical past rebranded mid-campaign• Congress fumbling the Farm Bill• A federal judge redefining what counts as a constitutional burdenDifferent arenas. Same instinct: control optics, adjust definitions, avoid friction.When diplomacy becomes content, campaigns become cosplay, and courts start redefining thresholds, the guardrails don't collapse loudly — they move quietly.This episode breaks down:✔ Why international political theater carries real geopolitical risk✔ The danger of “wolf in sheep's clothing” candidates✔ What's really inside the new Farm Bill✔ How subtle judicial redefinitions shift power✔ Why performance culture erodes accountabilityThis isn't about outrage. It's about incentive structures.

As local farms keep closing, will stockpiling, import diversification and global partnerships be enough to safeguard Singapore’s food security? Synopsis: Every first and third Tuesday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. The past few years have not been fertile ground for the growth of Singapore’s local farms. Many agri-food businesses have closed or scaled down their operations amid a high operating cost environment. Last November, the Singapore Food Agency finally announced that it will be dropping its original “30 by 30” target, under which Singapore aimed to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs locally by 2030. There are other efforts in place to safeguard the food import-dependent country’s food security, such as import diversification, stockpiling and global partnerships. But with climate change wrecking havoc on crop yields and recent geopolitical events disrupting long-standing bilateral relationships, can Singapore afford not to have a strategic plan for local production? Green Pulse hosts Audrey Tan and David Fogarty discuss the challenges in this episode. Have a listen and let us know what you think! Highlights of conversation (click/tap above): 3:38 Why do farms in Singapore keep closing? 10:49 What are the four pillars in Singapore’s approach to safeguarding food security? 12:48 With climate change affecting crop yields, how effective will import diversification and intergovernmental pacts be in ensuring food security? 16:05 Other than securing supplies of food, what are other areas to look at to boost food security?

This week on Farm News & Views, Bob Bragg looks at the rapid rise of agricultural drones and the impact of a new federal ban on foreign-made models, examines a UN report showing a slowdown in global food production, and closes with a reflective story about perspective, compassion, and the lessons we learn along the way.

Cargill's vice president of global core research and development, Cordell Hardy, talks with Ian Welsh about the potential of fermentation in providing scalable solution for food ingredient production. They discuss how integrated fermentation is in our everyday lives, from zero-calorie sweeteners to plant-based materials.

Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1947

Orchestrating the Nomad Century: Quotas, New Cities, and the Food Production Revolution. Gaia Vince encourages a proactive vision for managing massive climate-driven migration, involving facing expected heat, enlarging northern cities, and building entirely new ones. Vince provides an optimistic example of a managed migration where a farmer in Gujarat, India, applies for migration and is assigned to Aberdeen, Scotland. She suggests establishing a new United Nations agency with "real teeth" to organize migration among host and origin nations, allocating people via a quota system to specific jobs and areas. To mitigate hostility, migrants would commit to taking jobs in high-need industries for their first few years. A major challenge is food supply, requiring a complete overhaul of global food production, necessitating a shift toward a plant-based diet, as mass meat production is extremely inefficient. Alternative food sources like plant-based meats, insects, and vertical farming in cities are essential. Vince emphasizes the enormous potential for biodiversity restoration if damaged natural landscapes are left alone.

Passionfruit farmer Mitchell East is flipping the script on food waste, giving unsellable fruit a second chance. Mitchell returned to his family farm in Manjimup WA on a mission to find a tasty use for surplus, speedily perishable fruit like passionfruit and cherries.The horticulture industry is always looking for new ways of squeezing value from seconds produce, with many tonnes of fruit and vegetables that can't be sold or stored going to waste every day.And there's no shortage of produce in the Southern Forests food hub around Manjimup, which punches well above its weight to grow a massive volume and variety of fresh produce for domestic and international markets.Liv sat down with this fruit-farmer-turned-manufacturer to hear how Mitchell is utilising otherwise wasted fruit to not only boost profit margins but to re-connect consumers with the growers of their food.Chapters00:00 Mitchell's Farming Journey and Background02:48 The Unique Food Hub of Manjimup05:37 Value Adding Passion Fruit: Challenges and Opportunities08:57 Creating Products from Waste: A Sustainable Approach11:45 Collaboration With Other Growers 14:33 Innovative Products and Market Adaptation17:46 The Story Behind Yuzu and Other Unique ProduceLearn more about Willarra Gold and how Mitchell and Jen are collaborating with other local fruit growers to get more from the delicious produce they grow.You can hear more episodes of Humans of Agriculture here. If you enjoyed this episode, share with a friend and let us know your thoughts at hello@humansofagriculture.com.  Don't forget to rate, subscribe, and leave a review!

We delve into the UAE National Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Biennale, titled "Pressure Cooker" with curator Azza Aboualam. An assistant professor at the College of Arts and Creative Enterprises at Zayed University Dubai and co-founder of Holesum Studio, Aboualam explains how architecture can be a cornerstone for achieving food security, particularly in challenging climates like UAE's and the broader Gulf region. Inspired by a simple question from her mother about the origin of blueberries in the UAE, Aboualam's work explored the intersection of architectural design and food production, focusing on innovative greenhouse typologies. The "Pressure Cooker" exhibition showcases how traditional and high-tech architectural elements can be reconfigured to prolong growing seasons and expand food production within the UAE. We unpack the complexities of food security as a national priority, the economic and environmental costs of imported food, and the surprising prevalence of individual-led greenhouse projects in the UAE. We also touch upon the fascinating historical context of food in the UAE, the impact of population growth on food systems, and a unique architectural cookbook attached to the project, which frames the conversation around food and built environments. 0:00:00 The UAE's Vision For Food Security0:02:40 "Pressure Cooker": Architecture and Food Flow0:03:33 The Blueberry Revelation: Origin of the Idea0:04:38 Why Food Security Is an Architectural Problem in the UAE0:05:48 The Urgency of Food Security In The UAE0:07:08 Global Warming and Food Production Challenges0:08:08 Inside The "Pressure Cooker" UAE Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 20250:10:41 A Call to Action and Moment of Reflection0:11:55 The True Cost of Food0:12:21 Greenhouses: a Common Practice in the UAE0:14:16 The "Kit-of-Parts" Innovation0:14:42 The Adaptable Greenhouse System0:16:07 Food Production in Apartment Living0:16:44 Sparking Broader Conversations0:17:30 Individual vs. Urban Scale Food Production0:19:08 Who Is Doing Food Security Well?0:20:32 Food Infrastructure in the UAE0:21:56 Regional Knowledge Sharing0:23:02 Local Food Production and Sufficiency0:23:53 Oil Revenue's Impact on Food Security0:25:01 Pressure Cooker Recipes: An Architectural Cookbook0:26:44 Engaging With Local Farmers0:28:18 Pathway to Food Independence0:29:03 Defining Food Independence0:30:54 Supermarkets: a Changing Landscape0:32:08 Historical Food Production in the UAE0:33:11 Migration and Food Systems0:35:00 Resources for Learning About Food Security0:36:51 The Problem of Food Waste0:39:17 Packaging Waste in the F&B IndustryUpcoming event

Americans are cutting more coupons and changing their buying habits because of high food prices but there is one costly food habit they are not changing, even though it could save them a lot of money. They are not wasting less. Ohio State economist Brian Roe says the average four-person U.S. household throws away a third of the food it buys. Ohio State researchers recently tracked consumers who claimed they were trying to waste less food, and found they wasted just as must as consumer who did not make that claim. “Honestly, we don't know if it's even possible to get people to change their behaviors long-term,” he says. “They do seem to slide back into their old habits.” Learn how much of the food produced today around the world is never consumed and how you can help prevent unnecessary food loss right in your own home. The Ohio State Food Waste Collaborative is a collection of researchers, practitioners, and students working together to promote the reduction and redirection of food waste as an integral part of a healthy and sustainable food system. https://u.osu.edu/foodwaste/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org
