Podcasts about food systems

While navigating the very narrow habitrail of daily living, it's very easy to forget there's an amazing, alluring and mysterious universe all around us that we simply cannot completely quantify (but take very much for granted). Over time, this daily dulling of our imagination can kill our heart, mind and soul, but only if we let it…If you've misplaced your sense of wonder and want to reclaim it, join Paul and his very special guest Fred Provenza on an exploration of the cosmos through the world of dreams this week on Spirit Gym.Download Fred's recent paper, Cosmic Dreaming: Memories of a Moment on Earth, for FREE at this link.

Visionary agricultural innovator Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin unearths a startling natural-world template for building a global movement that puts the chicken at the heart of bioregional food systems. These Poultry-Centered Regenerative Agroforestry farms can both renew the land and ultimately support the hundreds of millions of small farmers who produce 70% of the world's food.

Do you know where your food comes from? Most of us buy and consume food every single day without understanding who grew it, how it was raised, or what the labels actually mean. What if the fear driving your grocery store decisions is based more on marketing than reality?On this episode of Salad With a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck welcomes fifth-generation dairy farmer and environmental scientist Tara Vander Dussen of Discover Ag Podcast and Discover Ag TV for a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about the food system, family farms, organic versus conventional choices, and how consumers can make smarter decisions without the overwhelm. From antibiotic use in dairy farming to the truth about grass-fed beef, water recycling on modern farms, and the impact of imports and tariffs on local agriculture, this episode reframes the conversation and replaces fear with facts.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ How the food system is divided between agriculture and big food, and why understanding that distinction helps you shop smarter and reduce unnecessary food fear✅ What the organic label actually means as a farming practice, and how conventional dairy farming maintains strict quality and safety standards that often go unrecognized✅ Why most cattle in the United States spend the majority of their lives on pasture, and what the real difference between grass-fed and grass-finished beef means for your plate✅ How sustainable farming practices like water recycling, on-site veterinarians, and cattle nutritionists reflect a level of animal care and environmental responsibility that rarely makes it into the public conversationThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Breaking down the differences between agriculture and the food industry06:17 Understanding pesticides, glyphosate, and bio-engineered crops as tools in the farmer's toolbox09:13 Why food labels shifted from consumer information to marketing, and how to shop by personal values14:29 The truth about factory farms versus family farms and why 98 percent of dairies are family owned19:10 Conventional dairy quality: antibiotic protocols, testing standards, and why milk is one of the most tested products in the food supply chain25:45 How animal welfare and farm transparency have improved, and the water recycling system on a dairy farm is explained step by step29:29 Grass-fed versus grain-fed beef unpacked and why most cattle spend two-thirds of their lives on pasture36:42 How tariffs and global markets affect dairy farming prices and why grocery store milk prices can mislead38:57 The complicated relationship between consumer demand, imports, exports, and the modern food supplyKEY TAKEAWAYS:

What does it really mean for a food system to be resilient, and why does it matter for public health? In this episode, we hear from Elsie Moore, Postdoctoral Associate in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University, who breaks down the concept of food system resilience and why it goes far beyond simply maintaining food supply. True resilience, she explains, means ensuring that food remains sufficient, appropriate, and accessible to all communities. Moore explores the complexity of modern food systems, from farms and distributors to government agencies and public health programs, and explains how shocks like hurricanes, supply chain breakdowns, workforce shortages, or rising food costs, can ripple across the system and impact population health. She also discusses how state-level food system resilience councils can help coordinate across sectors, institutionalize lessons learned from crises like COVID-19, and plan proactively for future challenges. Food System Resilience: A Planning Guide for State Governments | ASTHOMeeting Home PageLeadership Power Hour: Your Launchpad for Impact | ASTHO

I tell a story about Jar Power before sitting down with Robin Greenfield, an incredible fella best known for his radical experiments in simple living, food reclamation, waste minimisation and wild foraging.He has been called “the Robin Hood of our times”, “the Forrest Gump of ecology”, and “the best kind of crazy”. To me, Robin is a torch bearer for truth, leading the way towards justice – with a whole lotta joy and integrity.This year he is eating 100% foraged foods – unreal! – so we chat about that, as well as:Why Robin is so gassyHow it feels to break free from the global industrial food systemWhy Robin is not into human optimisationPracticing non-attachment and impermanenceFreedom in communityWhat gives Robin the power to do crazy stuff?Non-delusionalismHow to identify your purpose and nicheThe most limiting factor in figuring out who you really arePursuing radical honestyRobin's simple financesSkills + relationships = freedomTransition ethicsCompassionate communicationWhat IS foraging, really?All the foraging nuances you never thought about!How our language is built around disconnectionWhat would happen if everyone foraged?Joy as resistance

In this episode, Chris examines congressional hearings on the future of U.S. farming, the rise of corporate concentration in agriculture, and why families struggle to afford food despite massive government bailouts.From shrinking farms and supply chain manipulation to food monopolies and declining nutritional standards, this commentary explores how corporate power is reshaping what Americans eat — and why the entire system may need a complete reset.Can local food systems, competition, and reform fix the problem? Or is meaningful change unlikely?

Our Chemical Food System with Jay Feldman by A program of Grassroots Environmental Education

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with Professor Tim Lang about food security as a systemic risk embedded within highly interdependent global supply, trade, and governance networks. The conversation explores how deeply integrated supply chains, energy dependency, trade regimes, and regulation shape national food resilience in an era of climate volatility and geopolitical disruption.Find out more about how efficiency-driven “just-in-time” models prioritised cost reduction over redundancy, leaving food systems exposed to cascading shocks. The discussion explores how export controls, regulatory divergence, and concentrated supply chains redistribute risk rather than contain it, and why national governments remain accountable for outcomes they no longer fully control.The episode also examines the tension between sovereignty and shared governance, particularly within the EU, and considers whether existing risk assessment tools are calibrated for systemic disruption rather than isolated supply failures.Finally, the conversation turns to civil preparedness and strategic exposure: whether food is treated as critical infrastructure, how geopolitical competition is reshaping access to staples and inputs, and which indicators policymakers should monitor as climate stress and political fragmentation intensify pressures on global food governance.Tell us what you liked!

Dr. Bill Schindler joins Airey Bros Radio (ABR 438) for a deep-dive conversation that connects Jersey Shore wrestling culture to ancestral nutrition, anthropology, and real-world health.Bill is Jersey Shore bred — a Red Bank Regional wrestler who went on to compete at Ohio State and The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) — before becoming a leading voice in ancestral food systems. He's the author of Eat Like a Human, founder of The Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and a researcher/educator helping families, athletes, and coaches rethink what “healthy eating” actually means.We talk wrestling weight cuts, the mental side of food, why modern diets wreck digestion, and Bill's core idea: humans aren't omnivores by biology — we're omnivores by technology (fire, fermentation, traditional preparation, and bioavailability). Bill also shares practical takeaways for wrestlers, endurance athletes, parents, and coaches, including why he'd consider keto for wrestling and how to start small with changes that compound.In this episode:Jersey Shore wrestling roots (Red Bank Regional, Ohio State, TCNJ)Weight cuts, food fear, binge cycles, and athlete nutrition mistakes“Eat Like a Human” fundamentals: fermentation, bioavailability, real foodSimple family changes that actually last (start with the foods you eat most)Keto, carnivore, and why context + culture matter in nutritionInsects, organ meats, and pushing comfort zones the smart wayWine additives, traditional fermentation, and “food as a system”

What if the future of regenerative agriculture won't be decided in Europe… but in India, Africa, and the Global South?In this powerful Deep Seed mini-episode, we sit down with Professor Nitya Rao, leading gender and climate researcher and contributor to the Lancet Commission on Food Systems, to explore a perspective we rarely hear in the regenerative agriculture movement.Because here's the uncomfortable truth:

“You are more likely to find the raw ingredients for a better future for the food system at the Waffle House than you are at your local farmers' market.”

Is your steak a byproduct of a corrupt financial ledger? Texas Slim (@modernTman) explains how food centralization serves as currency debasement. We discuss the 1971 "Big Fat Lie" and how ending the gold standard led to declining nutritional integrity via subsidized grains. Slim argues the health of our children is proof of work, noting the current legacy system is failing.Modern cattle ranching is a struggle against corporate cartels. For years, the industry has prioritized inflationary weight gain over biological vitality. Slim describes the transition from forage-based systems to scientific manipulation. This centralization has hurt independent ranchers through regulatory capture and debt traps.El Salvador is now a hub for regenerative agriculture and food security. Slim is moving away from Angus beef marketing myths to launch heritage breed programs designed for local microbiomes. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach with Brahman cattle, he is building a sovereign food system. He believes fixing the money is the first step toward fixing the food.Vertical integration allows producers to remove parasitic middlemen. The Beef Initiative develops decentralized micro-processing to return power to ranchers. By owning the value chain from the water table to the fork, producers can move away from the industrial machine.The acquisition of beef.com represents a change. It acts as the digital backbone for a global movement connecting producers and consumers via a Bitcoin standard. This infrastructure ensures the narrative remains with land stewards.

In this February 20 episode of MAHA News, Jordan Sather and Nate Prince break down the controversy surrounding the new executive order addressing glyphosate and elemental phosphorus under the Defense Production Act. They examine claims about immunity for Bayer, clarify what the order actually does, and discuss why glyphosate has become so embedded in the U.S. food system that an immediate ban could devastate farmers and spike food prices. The hosts reference Sri Lanka's failed nationwide organic experiment, RFK Jr.'s comments calling America's food system “chemical warfare,” and the broader tension between reform and food security. They also expose the flaws in the GRAS system, which allows food companies to self-certify ingredients as safe, and highlight alarming obesity and malnutrition trends in the U.S. Finally, they address the rapidly aging farmer population, rising farm bankruptcies, and structural issues making agriculture less viable for the next generation.

Americans are paying more than ever for increasingly unhealthy food — yet ranchers are going out of business. In this interview, I sit down with Texas rancher Texas Slim, owner of Beef.com and co-founder of the Beef Initiative, to discuss the growing movement to decentralize beef production and reconnect communities directly to the people raising their food. He explains how regulations, consolidation, and globalized supply chains have separated consumers from local farmers — and why rebuilding local food networks may be critical to the country's future. From meatpacking monopolies and the threat of AI data centers draining our aquifers to the disappearing family farms, this conversation reveals how the modern food system works — and what a “cow-to-fork” model could change. If communities control their food, they control their future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A conversation with Sylvia Banda, Zambian business woman, restaurateur and social entrepreneur about her journey started when when she was 12. She opened her first food company, and she hasn't stopped since. She now runs a multi-million-dollar business with over 15 restaurants in Lusaka, Zambia, a food- processing company selling traditional Zambian food worldwide, and has trained over 60,000 smallholder farmers to produce higher-quality products and process them to receive better prices. We talk about why researchers should take a back seat and let farmers and entrepreneurs lead now; why the hand tools many farmers still use belong in a museum and why mechanisation is key, but with care; why processing and preserving are essential to ending hunger; and about nutrition, traditional food versus imported food, and how she taught urban people to re-appreciate what is often considered “food for the poor” that is traditional, nutrient-dense, and tasty food. To supply all of this, she set up two factories and trained over 60,000 smallholder farmers, changing many lives. Enjoy the story and the knowledge of a true Zambian and Southern African powerhouse.More about this episode.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

There's nothing in the world more important than the food system. The twentieth century was scarred by enormous famines – and, like the one in Gaza, they are still deliberately engineered. But since the 1970s, the absolute number of deaths from famine have dropped by over 90%. On a global scale, we now make so much food […]

In this episode of Digging In, we're talking about the ongoing negotions between the United States and European Union. These nations are negotiating "The Cooperation Agreement on Reciprocal, Fair and Balanced Trade" to stabilize their $1.5 trillion economic relationship and reduce the long-standing U.S. agricultural trade deficit. This agreement is critical for U.S. agricultural interests, as it aims to boost demand for products like meat, soybeans, and corn while opening the EU market to $750 billion in American energy exports by 2028. Although political disputes over Greenland recently stalled progress and led the European Parliament to pause considerations, recent diplomatic resolutions have sparked hope that the ratification process will soon resume.

In Dane County, we have a thriving farmers market scene. We have local co-ops and community gardens. We boast about our farm-to-table restaurants. And we also have food insecurity rates as high as 15%. Parts of our food system appear to be running well, but when you dig below the surface, there are issues preventing it from being equitable and resilient. REAP Food Group, in collaboration with a number of local stakeholders, is trying to get to the root of the problems with the Dane County Food Action Plan. City Cast Madison executive producer Hayley Sperling chats with REAP Food Group interim executive director Noah Bloedorn about what is currently threatening the food system, and how it can be fixed.

Our guest on this episode is Michael Grunwald, a journalist and the author of We are Eating the Earth: The race to fix our food system and save our climate. He's also well-known for his opinion columns in The New York Times, and his writing often takes on, well, the sacred cows of the progressive environmental movement — CAFOs, chemicals, veganism, and more.

Timo Boldt, founder and chief executive of Gousto, believes Britain's food system is broken.He points to the growing economic burden of diet-related disease with Government figures suggesting obesity alone costs the NHS more than £11 billion a year, while broader estimates put the total economic cost of overweight and obesity at more than £100 billion annually once lost productivity and reduced quality of life are included.Boldt argues the problem begins with what Britons eat. Research suggests more than half of the calories consumed in the UK come from ultra-processed foods, rising to around two-thirds among children and adolescents. He says these products are often engineered for what the industry calls the “bliss point” — the combination of salt, sugar and fat that keeps people coming back for more — and that the result is rising levels of obesity and diet-related illness.He defends Gousto's typical price point of about £3.20 per meal per person, arguing that it compares favourably with supermarket shopping once household food waste, time spent planning meals and convenience are taken into account. The company cannot compete with the very lowest-cost diets, he admits, but says it is targeting the large proportion of households already spending similar amounts on evening meals.Boldt also argues that farmers sit at the weakest point in the food chain, squeezed by large manufacturers and retailers who dominate what ends up on supermarket shelves. He says the system would look very different if incentives favoured fresh produce rather than heavily processed foods.Government action so far — including the sugar tax and restrictions on junk-food advertising — is, in his view, only a start. He calls for a broader approach combining taxes on unhealthy products with subsidies for more nutritious farming, alongside tighter rules on product placement in supermarkets.If diet-related disease could be reduced, he argues, the savings for the NHS and the wider economy would be enormous. The long-term solution, he says, is to “go upstream” and change what people eat by reshaping the food system itself.Gousto grew rapidly through the 2010s, with annual growth of around 90% in its first decade. But the business faced a very different environment in 2022, as interest rates rose sharply and household budgets tightened. Boldt responded by expanding the range of recipes and focusing on value, while pushing the company towards profitability and self-funding.He started the business fifteen years ago after long hours in the finance industry left him eating poorly. In the early days he delivered boxes himself, handing out his personal mobile number to customers. Today, after expansion into Ireland, he says the next phase will be international — once the company has fully cracked its home market.Presenter: Sean Farrington Producer: Olie D'Albertanson Editor: Henry Jones00:00 Fliss and Sean start pod 01:39 Timo Boldt joins BBI 02:25 Obesity caused by ultra processed food and its impact 03:50 The cost of Gousto and whether it's too expensive 11:15 Farmer not paid enough. 19:56 Discount model in the industry 23:17 Setting up Gousto and hand delivering food 27:24 Tougher times and how they were navigated 32:20 Why is Gousto only in the UK and Ireland? 39:40 End of pod

While there is a growing recognition of the importance of indigenous knowledge in agriculture, all too-often, First Nations people are being asked to fit in with an established model. What if we flipped the script to create food systems that are led by indigenous principles?That's what Jacob Birch is aiming to do in reawakening a native grains industry in Australia. He's a proud Gamilaraay man, scholar, Churchill Fellow, and entrepreneur who founded Yaamarra & Yarral, a wholesaler of ancient grains and retailer of stone milled flour.In this episode, Jacob shares his journey into native grains, beginning with biodiversity and landscape restoration, and expanding into food, culture, and economic sovereignty. He explains why native grasses are keystone species for Australia's ecosystems, how Indigenous Australians managed grain systems for tens of thousands of years, and why these histories, including bread-making, are still largely absent from mainstream narratives.In his Churchill Fellowship, Jacob draws on lessons from First Nations communities in North America, exploring what Indigenous-led food systems can look like when the goal is not export-driven scale, but healthy communities, country, and self-determined economic development.Sarah and Jacob discuss:The nutritional value of native grains and their role in climate resilience and food sovereignty.Why post–farm gate ownership is crucial for First Nations people.How subsidies could potentially support indigenous-led enterprises in food and agriculture.The realities of building a native grains industry; from land access to challenges in processing.Useful Links:Jacob Birch, Churchill Fellowship reportGrasslands Documentary Jacob Birch researcher profileModernising Indigenous Native Grains Processing | AgriFutures AustraliaWhite Earth NationFond du Lac Band of Lake Superior ChippewaNative Farm Bill CoalitionTribal Elder Food Box - Feeding America Eastern WisconsinFirst Nations Australians in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry - DAFF2030 Roadmap - National Farmers' FederationFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

How patient design and ideological diversity are reshaping food productionAshley sits down with Ryan Blosser and Trevor Piersol, co-founders of Shenandoah Permaculture Institute and authors of Mulberries in the Rain, to explore permaculture beyond the stereotype of backyard herb spirals. We discuss what sets permaculture apart from regenerative agriculture, the evolving demographics of people drawn to food production, and how ideological diversity from left-wing environmentalists to conservative land stewards strengthens the movement.We dive into the practicalities of perennial systems, why comfrey matters more than you might think, and the often-overlooked messiness of annual vegetable farming. Ryan and Trevor challenge permaculture dogma around native plants and invasive species, sharing our own experiences with bamboo and autumn olive. We also discuss Ryan's innovative farm-based education program that integrates Virginia's K-12 curriculum standards with food production and how it's showing promising results for student achievement while producing thousands of pounds of organic food for the community.As the discussion turns philosophical, we explore what "doomer optimism" really means: preparing for an uncertain future not out of fear, but because building local food systems, land relationships, and community resilience are inherently fulfilling. We examine land access challenges, the psychology of sustainable living, and why relationships, especially those forged across ideological lines, may be our most valuable resource as we face systemic change. Perfect for anyone interested in permaculture, regenerative agriculture, education, and building meaningful alternatives to industrial food systems.The Shenandoah Permaculture Institute teaches practical, hands-on permaculture with a focus on building healthy, resilient communities. Co-founded by Ryan Blosser and Trevor Piersol, along with Dr. Ted Butchart and Emilie Gooch Tweardy, SPI offers Permaculture Design Courses and workshops that blend ecological knowledge with human-centered design. Their mission is to equip communities with the tools and strategies for health and resilience, from soil to self.@shenandoahpermaculturehttps://www.shenandoahpermaculture.com/

What does regenerative homesteading actually look like when you don't have acres of land? In this episode, we break down how to build a regenerative homestead anywhere you live, whether you're in an apartment, rental, suburban yard, or on acreage.We cover how to build living soil without tilling, cycle nutrients instead of throwing them away, and create food systems that improve year after year. You'll learn practical ways to work with the land you have using compost, fermented kitchen scraps, mulch, perennials, and intentional garden design.This episode also dives into how animals fit into regenerative homesteading. From rotating chickens through gardens to using goats for brush control and sheep for pasture improvement, we explain how livestock can heal land, build fertility, and reduce labor when managed properly.We also discuss simple, effective water management, including slowing runoff, improving soil water retention, and using rain collection to support gardens naturally. Finally, we cover food preservation methods like canning, fermenting, drying, freezing, and root storage, and why preservation is essential for a truly resilient homestead.This episode is for anyone interested in homesteading, self-sufficiency, regenerative living, food independence, and building systems that last, no matter where you live.The Homestead Prepper's Guide To Canning CourseLearn more about this episode and others at Gubba Homestead Podcast

#259: James Beard Award- winning author Nancy Matsumoto discusses her new book Reaping What She Sows : How Women Are Rebuilding Our Broken Food System. From grass-fed dairy farmers and Indigenous fishers to bakers reviving regional grains, Nancy shares stories of innovation, resilience, and community - and reveals the hidden work required to create short, transparent, local food chains that stand in stark contrast to Big Ag.https://realorganicproject.org/nancy-matsumoto-women-alternative-food-systems-259The 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/directoryWe 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/

Joel Salatin is one of the most influential voices in the modern regenerative farming movement. As the founder of Polyface Farm in Virginia, he's become known for building a radically different model of agriculture, one rooted in ecological systems, local markets, and a refusal to accept industrial “efficiency” as the end goal.In this episode, Joel shares what he's learned from decades of farming and advocacy, why the middle of the food system is where so many good farms get stuck, and what it will take to move regenerative agriculture to the center of our food system.In this episode, we dive into: • Why the industrial food system prioritizes scale and uniformity over real stewardship • What we lose when farming becomes a commodity business instead of a community livelihood • The biggest barriers that keep good farms from reaching more people • Why local processing and local markets matter more than most people realize • How Polyface built an alternative model that actually works economically • What it would take for regenerative agriculture to become “normal” again • Why Joel thinks the story we tell about food is just as important as the practices • Where he sees real hope, and what he thinks we need to stop pretending will fix thingsMore about Joel:Joel Salatin co-owns, with his family, Polyface Farm in Swoope, Virginia. Featured in the New York Times bestseller Omnivore's Dilemma and award-winning documentary Food Inc., the farm services more than 5,000 families, 10 restaurants, and 5 retail outlets with salad bar beef, pigaerator pork, pastured poultry, and forestry products.

Navigating wage-and-hour laws can sometimes feel like running a brewery during Oktoberfest—busy, complex, and full of moving parts. With local, state, and federal rules often foaming over into each other, it's easy for even the most diligent employers to find themselves with a compliance hangover.As your business grows, whether you're just tapping your first keg or you've been pouring for years, wage-and-hour issues can sneak up like an unexpected aftertaste. Compensation structures, pay practices, and employee policies that once seemed straightforward can become muddled, especially when expansion brings new faces and new challenges. What starts as a small spill can quickly turn into a bigger mess, affecting more employees and opening the door to costly claims.This session will highlight five common wage-and-hour mistakes that can leave employers feeling flat and offer practical ways to keep your operations crisp and compliant. We'll cover timekeeping best practices, how to handle bonuses and commissions for hourly staff, the tricky business of classifying employees, managing work hours and breaks, and the use of independent contractors and temporary help.Along the way, we'll share real-life examples and tips for keeping your workforce happy and your business out of hot water—so you can focus on brewing success, not legal headaches.After being exposed to Fair Labor Standards Act cases while clerking for a federal appellate court, A.J. began his legal career with a focus on developing an expertise in wage-and-hour compliance and litigation. That has led A.J. to a practice that spans the laws and courts of the country but centers on California's uniquely challenging compliance and litigation landscape.A.J. takes a creative, pragmatic, and business-first approach to managing the defense of complex wage-and-hour class and collective actions, working with clients not only to identify the best path to an efficient and effective resolution but also to adjust problematic practices and policies in a way that accomplishes the client's business goals while mitigating the risk of future claims. As a member of Husch Blackwell's Food Systems industry unit, A.J. regularly advises food and beverage producers on employment law compliance.Stay up to date with CBP: http://update.craftbeerprofessionals.org/

Did you know that as consumers, we are all stakeholders in our food system?

In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Camilla Fayed and Aurora Solá, co-authors of A Manifesto for the Future of Food, to explore how our food system became disconnected from soil, ecology, and human health — and what it will take to restore it. Together, they offer a clear and grounded look at the rise of industrial agriculture, the consequences of extractive farming, and why the health of our soil is inseparable from the health of our bodies. Camilla and Aurora walk through the origins and principles of regenerative agriculture, explaining how practices rooted in biodiversity, soil restoration, and ecological balance can rebuild resilience in both ecosystems and communities. Rather than framing the issue through blame or fear, they focus on practical pathways forward — from supporting local farmers to rethinking how we relate to food altogether. This conversation is an invitation to see food not just as fuel, but as a relationship — one that shapes our health, our environment, and our collective future.

Dr. Jessica Knurick reveals a truth most nutrition experts won't admit: our food system is designed for profit, not health, and over half of American adults are living with chronic disease as a result. As a science-based dietitian who lost her grandfather to preventable illness at 60, she's spent her career fighting back against fear-mongering and misinformation that keeps people confused and sick. In this eye-opening conversation, she exposes why seed oils aren't the villain everyone claims, how ultra-processed foods hijack your brain to make you overeat 500 calories a day, and why the most effective health advice is actually boring. You'll walk away understanding that 90 percent of nutrition science is settled and simple, but social media algorithms profit from making you believe everything is controversial and complicated.Dr. Jessica Knurick on SubstackDr. Jessica Knurick on InstagramIn this episode you will:Discover why our food system is engineered for the majority of people to fail at health, not succeed, and how this affects every choice you makeUnderstand why over 90 percent of Americans fail to meet basic vegetable and fiber intake while chronic disease continues its relentless climbBreak through the seed oil controversy by learning what the actual research shows versus what social media wants you to believe for clicksTransform your family's relationship with food using the inclusion method that gets kids excited about nutrition without the good food bad food trapMaster the art of spotting nutrition misinformation by recognizing fear-based hooks and learning who actually deserves your trust onlineFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1845For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Dr. Mark Hyman – greatness.lnk.to/1695SCDr. William Li  – greatness.lnk.to/1743SCGlucose Goddess – greatness.lnk.to/1575SC Get more from Lewis!
