In this week's chat, Tim and Craig delve into Canada's Food System a new national, sector wide initiative led by Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI), which aims at elevating the conversation about what goes into producing food in our country. Executive Director Lisa Bishop-Spencer provides insight into the initiative. We journey out to Brooks, Alberta to see the evolution of the Crop Diversification Centre - South, which is now being headed up by the County of Newell. The County sees the facility formerly run by the Government of Alberta has an economic opportunity. The county's Director of Agricultural Services Todd Green shares his excitement about the project. Finally we head to Lexington, Kentucky where we talk about Ag extension with Alltech's Dr. Anne Koontz, who takes the company's fascinating research turns it into easily consumed information for the company's marketing and communication teams.
Canada's Food System believes it's time to rethink what it really takes to get food on our plates, and recognize the people and the work that goes into every bite. That's the goal of a new national campaign, positioning our food system as a critical part of our country's identity, economy, and future.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Morgan Gillespy, Executive Director of the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU). They discuss whether it's a lack of understanding or political will that keeps policymakers from addressing the hidden costs of food and agriculture systems, why she's hopeful that true action will come from the 30th U.N. Climate Change Conference in Brazil, and the small actions that can drive big breakthroughs in food systems transformation. Plus, hear why a leading wildlife conservation organization is sounding the alarm on biodiversity decline in Africa's rivers, lakes, and wetlands; the Trump-Vance Administration's response to the detainment of farm workers, and whether regenerative agriculture programs from some of the biggest food and beverage companies make the grade.

Send me a messageIn this episode of Climate Confident, I sat down with Kanika Chandaria, Climate Lead at Agreena, to explore one of the most overlooked yet high-impact climate solutions: soil.We talked about why regenerative agriculture is gaining traction, not just as a nature-based solution, but as a scalable, economically viable climate strategy. Kanika broke down how soil has the potential to sequester 2–5 gigatonnes of CO₂ annually, making it a key lever for companies aiming to meet net zero targets.We also got into the challenges: from the financial barriers facing farmers to the complexity of MRV (measurement, reporting, and verification) for soil carbon. Kanika explained how Agreena combines satellite imagery, AI, and selective soil sampling to deliver robust data at scale, data that's now being used not just for carbon markets, but to inform sustainable loans and supply chain initiatives.We examined the growing role of the private sector in climate action, especially as policy delays continue in the EU and US. And we discussed the importance of interoperability, why regenerative farming solutions need to work across carbon markets, food systems, and financial products.If you're a business leader thinking seriously about decarbonisation, soil carbon may be the high-impact tool you've been missing.

A group of Kansas State University faculty members is working to improve food access across urban areas in Kansas. The 1-point-2-million-dollar project, “Development of Resilient Urban Food Systems That Ensure Food Security in the Face of Climate Change,” is funded through the university's Game-Changing Research Initiation Program. K-State assistant professor of landscape architecture and regional and community planning, Shakil Kashem, says their key research objective is how to make plans and policies that can create more equitable and resilient cities and communities in Kansas. He says what really pulled him into food system research is the idea that access to healthy and affordable food plays a big role in how healthy and strong a community is. Shakil and Maria Binte Edrish, a member of his research team and a master's student in landscape architecture and regional and community planning, discuss their research into ways local government can address gaps in healthy food access through better zoning, public transportation and support for local food networks. https://olathe.k-state.edu/research/urban-food/research/grip-award/ Sound Living is a weekly public affairs program addressing issues related to families and consumers.

In the “Double Take,” Helena and Theodore have Trump whiplash on the threat of mass deportations in the food system. In “Forks and Knives,” the discussion turns to the historic cuts to food assistance for low-income Americans that are playing out as the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” makes its way through Congress. And for “Good Vibes,” the federal Dietary Guidelines may drop recommendations for how much Americans should drink. Glass clinking sound or MAHA mistake?
This is the second time I've had Lance Littlefield on the show. Back on Episode 77 he was an absolute mine of information on the craft of baking sourdough bread. We were introduced to 'Alfonsina' his starter, and the wonders of Motherdough Bakery. Almost a year later, he and partner Willem van Schalkwyk have had their Stellenbosch store running for 6 months, and there are plans for another venue. In this episode though, with the upcoming Food Indaba in mind, I spoke to Lance about the use of AI in running the bakery. AI and the Food System is the theme of this year's Food Indaba so training a bot to make the production of a bakery more efficient and saving 25% or more on waste is a relevant conversation.

The 2025 Global Food Policy Report warns that the world could be heading toward another major food crisis. For Africa, the warning is especially urgent.Across the continent, food systems are under pressure from climate change, economic shocks, and political instability. These overlapping challenges are making it harder for governments to respond to rising food needs or invest in long-term solutions.In this episode of Africa Science Focus, reporter Michael Kaloki explores how research and evidence can help build food systems that are more resilient, inclusive, and better prepared for future shocks.Steven Omamo, director of development strategies and governance at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), says many African countries already have food policies, but poor implementation and weak investment continue to undermine them. He highlights the value of science in guiding early warning systems, promoting stress-tolerant crops, boosting local production, and supporting community-based responses to disruptions caused by climate and conflict.Food systems specialist Jane Battersby, associate professor at the University of Cape Town, urges a shift in focus toward urban food insecurity. She says while there is attention on hunger in rural areas, a large number of food-insecure people live in cities, often in informal settlements where food is available, but unaffordable.Zippy Ondisa Shiyoya, director at the Institute of Packaging Professionals of Kenya, says poor coordination, high policy costs, and unreliable data are barriers to effective food strategies. She explains how science underpins food safety and quality, from production, through to distribution, consumption and data gathering. It guides better packaging solutions, which extend shelf life, reduce spoilage, and minimise post-harvest losses — a major source of food waste across the continent.This podcast was supported by the Science Granting Councils Initiative which aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of 18 public science funding agencies in Sub-Saharan Africa.Africa Science Focus is produced by SciDev.Net and distributed in association with your local radio station.Do you have any comments, questions or feedback about our podcast episodes?

A Senate bill that would have banned the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer on New York farmland passed in the State Senate — but then quietly died in the Assembly. Supporters say the bill was a necessary response to research showing harmful levels of PFAS and other toxic compounds in treated human and industrial waste, which can contaminate crops, waterways and drinking water. Opponents, including the waste processing industry, say the science isn't settled and that banning sludge could devastate rural economies. We look at how the bill unraveled — and what happens next.

The MisFitNation with Rich LaMonica welcomes Combat Veteran AJ Richards, a former CrossFit gym owner, sixth-generation rancher, and food sovereignty advocate on a mission to decentralize the American food supply chain. AJ's journey began when the 2020 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of our food system. What started as selling his family's beef direct-to-consumer evolved into managing a USDA meat plant in Wyoming, where he uncovered the real issue: ✅ Farmers and ranchers produce high-quality food, but middlemen control the system. ✅ Consumers are paying more, while producers make less. ✅ The system is broken, but there's a solution!

In this urgent and eye-opening episode, world-renowned farmer Joel Salatin sounds the alarm on the collapse of local food freedom and the dangerous centralization of our food system. With over 40% of farmers nearing retirement and fewer than 1.5% of Americans still farming, the future of your food security is at risk. Joel exposes the corrupt ties between regulators, Big Ag, and Big Pharma, and explains how we've lost the ability to recognize real food, while also offering empowering solutions to reclaim food sovereignty, protect your health, and secure your family's future. TOPICS DISCUSSED: How government bureaucracy is pushing out small farmers out of business How our food supply is at an extreme risk in the next 10 years How mega corporations and foreign interests are buying farmland to control the food supply How government overreach on your health and food is a leading cause of illness How our nation's food IQ is so low, most people don't recognize actual food when they see it The corruption of the recirculating "CEO" system within Big Ag, Big Pharma, and government agencies What you can do (as just one person) to save your food and your country More from Joel Salatin: Instagram: @joel_salatin and @polyfacefarm Website: polyfacefarms.com Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review Need help with your gut?

Guest Lisa Goldman Rosas is an authority on public health who says that food insecurity goes deeper than hunger and can lead to chronic diabetes, heart disease, and even anxiety and depression. Rosas champions a concept she calls “nutrition security,” which focuses on food's health value over mere calories. She discusses her work with “Recipe4Health,” an Alameda County-led program that issues produce prescriptions, offers health coaching, and integrates electronic health records to improve diets and well-being. Food is medicine, Rosas tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

Hear from Stephanie Race, Founder & CEO of Earth Analytics Group, as we dive into the connections between physical climate risk, the global food supply chain, and systemic financial risk. As climate impacts intensify - from wildfires to water scarcity - these risks are no longer distant. They're material, and they're here to stay. This is most evident in our food system, where disrupted crop yields, shifting growing regions, and stressed supply chains are becoming the new normal. That's why in this episode, we explore the vital and often overlooked links between climate change, food systems, and financial risk, including: How biophysical shocks like drought, fire, and flooding are cascading through supply chains and challenging economic stability; Why nature-based solutions are key to building real-world resilience - not just for farmers, but for the financial system as a whole; And how risk professionals can lead the transition by rethinking how we value, insure, and invest in a changing world.

A Super Bowl commercial extolling "a world without cows" became the final straw for Alltech, spurring them to commission a documentary that would tell the real story of global animal agriculture. What emerged after three and a half years of investigation across 40 locations worldwide is a compelling narrative that's changing minds—even among non-agricultural audiences."World Without Cows" takes viewers on a global journey examining the multifaceted role of cattle in our food systems, economies, and ecosystems. The documentary challenges prevailing narratives by presenting science-based facts gathered from diverse sources including ranchers, economists, nutritionists, and even vegans. It reveals surprising truths about how livestock contributes to carbon sequestration, provides essential nutrition to vulnerable populations, and sustains the livelihoods of millions worldwide.Though centrally focused on cattle, the documentary resonates deeply across all livestock sectors. As Lori Stevermer, a pig farmer and past president of the National Pork Producers Council explains, the core messages apply universally—whether discussing cows or pigs, the positive impacts on nutrition, rural communities, and environmental sustainability remain constant. The film has become a powerful tool helping producers "show up" and explain their practices to consumers and policymakers who may be disconnected from agricultural realities.Already translated into 19 languages and screened everywhere from financial institutions to parliamentary chambers, "World Without Cows" represents just the beginning of Alltech's commitment to science-based storytelling and advocacy, says Susanna Elliott of Alltech. Discover the documentary and join the conversation that's building bridges between producers and consumers, science and storytelling, at www.WorldWithoutCows.com.
