In our third multi-grantee episode, we hear from three organizations working towards the restoration of Hawaiian food systems, in particular through the foundational practice of uhau humu pōhaku (Hawaiian drystack masonry). First, we hear from Keʻalohi Wang at Hui Hoʻoniho, an organization founded in 1996 to perpetuate the intergenerational transmission of uhau humu pōhaku. From there, we learn about two ʻāina-based organizations working to restore significant traditional agricultural systems, both with the name Kahaluʻu: At Kahaluʻu Kūāhewa in Kahaluʻu, Kona, Hawaiʻi, we hear from Jesse and Kim Kahoʻonei about their work restoring a 354-acre parcel of the traditional Kona field system. From Kaiāulu ʻo Kahaluʻu in Kahaluʻu, Koʻolaupoko, Oʻahu, Hiʻiaka Jardine and Philip Kapu share about their efforts to restore the Kahaluʻu Loʻi--the largest intact terraced loʻi system on Oʻahu.

Prof. William Schanbacher, Ph.D., breaks it down.
The National Farmers Union says the government should use the 30-day pause on tariffs to protect Canadian farmers from the effects of U.S. tariffs on exports and retaliatory tariffs by Canada on imports. They say farmers are vulnerable because they produce for international and domestic markets - and they use imported equipment and inputs. We speak with Matthew Wiens, board member with the National Farmers Union. He farms with his family, and two other families, at Ploughshares Community Farm, near Beausejour, Manitoba.

More and more, the country is devolving into health inequity—between the haves and have-nots. There's also a widening gap in nutrition, with obesity and attendant medical conditions disproportionally afflicting marginalized communities. Today's guest, Tambra Rae Stevenson, is addressing these disparities. She's a healthy food advocate and policy influencer, and a self-professed nutrition warrior. Among her initiatives is WANDA—Women and Girls Advancing Nutrition Dietetics and Agriculture, an organization building a movement of women and girls of African descent to become food “sheroes” in their communities through education, advocacy, and innovation. We discuss barriers to optimal nutrition, food “deserts”, and special needs of underserved populations. There's a paucity of trained nutrition educators of color, and Stevenson is spear-heading initiatives to incentivize development of a cadre of community-based advocates for healthy diets. We discuss the importance of involving kids early, through programs like school and community gardens. Stevenson shares her personal journey exploring her African roots, discovering the benefits of centuries-old traditions of ancestral foods; she's leveraging these insights to promote culturally-appropriate healthier food choices. Initiatives like WANDA can make a huge difference in reversing the tide of preventable disease.
Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Tambra Raye Stevenson, nutrition educator, policy advisor, food justice activist, and founder of WANDA (Women, Advancing, Dietetics and Nutrition).

On this show, we've talked a lot about how traditional banking and financial systems make it tough for new farmers or those without direct land ownership to get a fair shot. But those challenges run even deeper for agricultural producers in Indian Country.Enter Skya Ducheneaux, who's tackling these barriers head-on as the leader of Akiptan—the first Native CDFI dedicated to serving agricultural producers all across Indian Country. Skya brings fresh eyes to lending, challenging old-school banking practices that just don't work for farmers without big land holdings or a long financial track record. Instead, Akiptan focuses on sweat equity, work ethic, hands-on support, and long-term solutions - and yield tremendous outcomes as a result.In this episode, Skya shares: Her journey from growing up on a cattle ranch to leading a groundbreaking financial institution. Why extractive capital leads to extractive practices—and how patient, thoughtful capital can support regenerative agriculture. The unique ways Akiptan removes barriers and empowers Native ag producers. Remarkable success stories from the communities Akiptan serves. Why Native CDFIs have an opportunity to step up investment in agriculture. And how outside investors can better align with the long-term needs of Native farmers. And much more…More about Skya and Akiptan:Skya Ducheneaux is the Executive Director of Akiptan and is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. She spent her first 18 years of life on a cattle ranch on the CRST Reservation in South Dakota. She then pursued a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Business Administration while working at a county FSA office and buffalo meat processing plant. After returning home to work for the Intertribal Agriculture Council, she was tasked with creating the first Native CDFI dedicated to serving Native Agriculture producers all across Indian Country. Akiptan began lending in January of 2019 and has grown rapidly over the years.In addition to Akiptan, Skya has served on many advisory committees and is currently the Board Chair of the Mountain Plains CDC. In her role as Executive Director, she is a part of several CDFI coalitions, advocates locally and federally and presents at conferences to share the mission of Akiptan.Agrarian Futures is produced by Alexandre Miller, who also wrote our theme song.

Art, activism and a cancelled show - Wulan Dirgantoro Late last year news media splashed the image of an elderly artist standing before a locked door at the National Gallery of Indonesia. The sign behind him displayed his name - Yos Suprapto – and the title of his solo exhibition 'Kebangkitan: Tanah Untuk Kedaulatan Pangan' (Revival: Land for Food Sovereignty), due to have opened on 19 December. The headlines explained that the gallery had cancelled the show with little notice. What followed was a battle of words and claims around the cancellation, or as the gallery described it, it's closure at the behest of the artist. The newly minted Minister for Culture, Fadli Zon, also weighed in. What was it about this exhibition that made it so contentious? Who is the artist and why did this show become a lightning rod for controversy? More broadly, what might it mean for freedom of expression, art and activism in Indonesia? In this week's episode Jemma chats with Dr Wulan Dirgantoro, a lecturer in art history and curatorship at the School of Culture and Communication, the University of Melbourne. In 2025, the Talking Indonesia podcast is co-hosted by Dr Jemma Purdey from the Australia-Indonesia Centre, Dr Jacqui Baker from Murdoch University, Dr Elisabeth Kramer from the University of New South Wales and Tito Ambyo from RMIT.

Sara is the founder and executive director of Food Strong, a non-profit connecting kids with food since 2016. Sara and her staff work with the Cleveland Municipal School District and other inner-city schools to provide hands-on learning experiences in gardening, nutrition, and entrepreneurship. Recently, Food Strong's mission to educate, empower, and cultivate health through fresh foods just got a significant boost. Community Greenhouse Partners recently gifted them a three-acre farm site on Superior Avenue in Cleveland's east side. The property includes a historic house, church, food forest, farmland, and hoop houses that Food Strong is transforming into its Superior Farm. This neighborhood hub will support food sovereignty, climate resistance, and community connections. An estimated $5 million is needed to realize her vision for the property, along with the help of thousands of volunteers and neighbors. This extraordinary project is urban restoration at its best, feeding bodies, minds, and souls. Join us as we speak with Sara about this project, the wisdom of kids, Food Strong's work, and ways you can help.

Join us on a journey through the lush landscapes of wild blueberry fields with our esteemed guest, Rachel, an expert in wild blueberry production from the University of Maine. Discover Rachel's fascinating transition from working with vegetables and small fruits to studying the ecological importance of wild blueberries. These tiny berries hold a rich history and are an essential support for a diverse range of pollinators. Rachel provides a window into her climate change research, where she experiments with various genotypes to see how these resilient plants may adapt to shifting environmental conditions. Her expertise unveils the remarkable traits that make wild blueberries not only a treasured wild food but a crucial part of our ecosystem. We also navigate the shifting techniques in wild blueberry farming, spotlighting the use of prescribed fires and the movement towards alternative methods like mowing due to air quality concerns. Rachel sheds light on the challenges farmers face in water management, highlighting the divide between large farms with state-of-the-art irrigation and smaller farms grappling with water sourcing. The conversation introduces Maine's Farmer Drought Relief Program, emphasizing the need for increased state funding for agricultural adaptation to climate change. Rachel shares an optimistic view on recent USDA allocations, providing hope for future agricultural resilience. Lastly, we explore the intricate connections between food security and wild food practices, particularly as they evolved through the COVID-19 pandemic. The resurgence of home gardening, hunting, fishing, and foraging underscores a shift towards self-sufficiency and highlights the barriers these practices face, such as permits and skill requirements. We delve into the complex landscape of food sovereignty, examining the tensions between private land ownership and public access, with a focus on Maine's groundbreaking right to food legislation. The episode also addresses environmental concerns, like PFAS contamination, which pose significant obstacles to achieving true food sovereignty. Rachel's insights provide a thought-provoking perspective on balancing land rights, environmental health, and personal food security.

Episode 2522 - On this Friday's show Vinnie Tortorich speaks with farmers Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen where they discuss agriculture, climate, food sovereignty, raw milk, and more. https://vinnietortorich.com/2024/08/food-sovereignty-episode-2522 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS YOU CAN WATCH ALL THE PODCAST EPISODES ON YOUTUBE - Managing the Landscape The political landscape has been on fire lately, but knowing that there is a steadiness between the extremes is comforting. (2:00) Natalie is a cattle rancher and Tara is a dairy farmer and have been involved with agriculture for decades. They are co-hosts of a podcast called “Discover Ag” discussing agriculture and where your food comes from. (9:00) They discuss some of the challenges they encounter, such as animal activists. (11:00) The fringe sides can drum up a lot of attention. When it comes to food, science and emotions are put on the same level. (25:00) They discuss the conversation over the decades about fat, cholesterol, and the health of meat. (29:00) Food Sovereignty and the Climate The discussion about carbon footprints is also a challenge. (34:00) Carbon emissions for farming are nuanced; there are many factors to consider. It's not just “carbon in, carbon out.” Ruminants keep soil healthy enough to grow food. The truth is nature is harsh, but society has been molded by “the Disney effect.” (38:00) They discuss the climate over 100 years ago. (43:30) Lab-grown or cultured meat is gives a false sense of being better for the environment, yet it takes all kinds of energy to make it. (45:00) There is not enough data available to tell what the implications are, let alone make claims of “benefits.” Vinnie shares his inspiration for “Beyond Impossible.” Countries having food sovereignty is important. A “food patent” raises the question of who gets to own the source of food for others. (49:00) A good example of what happens with this is how Big Pharma controls meds and their cost and availability. They share an enthusiasm for rodeo and bull riding. (58:00) Educated Food Choice Raw milk vs. Homogenized milk. (58:00) They are for food choice. Pasteurization was crucial to food in history at one time. There's a new NSNG® Foods promo code you can use: enter VINNIE and get 15% off!
