As population growth, soil degradation and climate pressures converge, BSI's Todd Redwood explains why the next 10 years will determine whether the global food system can deliver enough high-quality nutrition, strategic opportunities and next steps for savvy CPG players
#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/
Carrie talks with Lorena about her program educating millions of school kids around the world on issues with our food systems (especially with animal agriculture and commercial fishing) and talking with classmates and their teacher to consider the environmental, nutritional, public health, social, and/or ethical issues with our industrial food practices, and what the students want to do about it to be part of the solution. To tell us about the Educated Choices Program nonprofit and all their freely available, scientifically-backed videos and lesson plans for teachers K-12 and college level is their Founder & CEO, Lorena Mucke. Lorena and her expert team have been developing and improving the award-winning Educated Choices Program lessons for over 10 years, reaching more than 3 million people in at least 70 countries (available in many languages).

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. The farm ships nationwide to your doorstep.Salatin is the editor of The Stockman Grass Farmer, granddaddy catalyst for the grass farming movement. He writes the “Confessions of a Steward” column for Plain Values magazine, the “Homestead Abundance” column for Homestead Living magazine, columns for Homesteaders of America, and a column a month for the e-magazine Manward. His blog is Musings from the Lunatic Farmer and he co-hosts a podcast titled BEYOND LABELS with co-author Dr. Sina McCullough.Agrarian Futures is produced by Alexandre Miller, who also wrote our theme song.

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/

Podcast: Bites and Bytes PodcastEpisode: How AI, Data, and Digital Agronomy Will Reshape Our Food Systems with Serg MasisPub date: 2025-12-21Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode, Kristin King sits down with Serg Masis, a data scientist at Syngenta, to explore how AI, data, and digital agronomy are reshaping modern agriculture (Agronomy is the science of how crops are grown—soil, climate, plants, and farming practices working together).Serg brings an engineering mindset to AI, explaining it less like science fiction and more like a murder mystery, where multiple perspectives, incomplete information, and interpretation matter just as much as the data itself. Rather than treating AI as a black box, he breaks down how understanding why a system makes a decision is just as important as the decision itself.Together, they talk about decision-making in farming,unintended consequences in complex systems, and why changing one thing in agriculture often creates ripple effects elsewhere. If you're curious about how technology is quietly influencing what we grow, how we farm, and what ends up on our plates, this conversation will change the way you think about food and data.---------------Guest Contact InformationGuest Info — Serg MasisWebsite: https://www.serg.ai/#about-meBooks & Writing: https://www.serg.ai/writing/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/smasis/Employer (Syngenta): https://www.syngenta.com/---------------Episode Key Highlights00:11:00 — Why AI Is About Better Decision-Making, Not Replacing Humans00:13:19 — The Three Inputs of Agriculture: Environment, Genetics, and Decisions00:17:20 — Sustainability, Ecosystems, and Runaway Effects in Farming00:25:33 — AI as a Murder Mystery: Interpretation, Bias, and Perspective00:34:26 — Crop Collapse, Monocultures, and Why This Isn't Science Fiction---------------

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.

In this episode of Next Economy Now, Erin Axelrod speaks with Fabiola Santiago, founder and executive director of Mi Oaxaca, about what Indigenous worldviews can teach us about belonging, reciprocity, and everyday consumption. Drawing from her experience as a diasporic Zapotec woman from Oaxaca and a public health researcher, Fabiola explores the hidden systems behind mezcal, food, and tourism, and how extraction and cultural appropriation shape communities and ecosystems. The conversation invites listeners to rethink how they relate to culture, place, and what they consume, and to imagine a slower, more regenerative economy rooted in care and mutual responsibility.View the show notes: https://www.lifteconomy.com/blog/choosing-home-in-a-time-of-displacement-w/-fabiola-santiagoSupport the show
Send us a textFighting climate change can feel like a hopeless battle. Who can take on the giant fossil fuel companies when governments are not even bothering? How can countries act when every day temperatures rise, superstorms flood coastal areas, droughts devastate crops, and weather patterns bring insects and new diseases to areas previously spared?But there is something powerful and important that each and every resident of this planet can do to improve the health of the planet and at the same time improve their own health: eat better.A new report from the EAT-Lancet Commission lays out just how to do it and it details the benefits of what it calls the Planetary Health Diet. The current way people produce food contributes 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that are driving the warming of the Earth's atmosphere, the report notes – and that in turn is causing the increasing disruption of weather systems. Even if the entire world stopped using fossil fuels tomorrow, if people keep producing food the way they do now, global warming would continue.But a change in the way people eat can help stop it, and according to the commission, it would not be difficult or unpleasant.The mostly plant-based diet the experts recommend would not be a radical departure from how many people around the world eat now and it is based on what research shows would reduce rates of the biggest killers of people in most high-income countries and increasingly in low- and middle-income countries – heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. It would mean eating mostly whole grains; fruits; vegetables; legumes, such as beans; tubers, such as sweet potatoes; and cutting out added fats and sugars. People could still eat some meat and dairy if they wanted to, but variety should replace ultra-processed foods.This change in diet would drive a change in agriculture that would slow the destruction of forests that in turn could reduce pollution from burning and return biodiversity that nurtures a healthier environment, the report says. And moving away from intensive livestock farming could help stop the conditions that have fueled the rise of antimicrobial resistance – so-called drug-resistant superbugs – that evolve when farmers feed antibiotics to their animals.In this episode, Dr. Patrick Webb, Professor of Food and Nutrition Economics, Policy, and Programs at Tufts University in Boston and an EAT-Lancet Commissioner, explains some of the ideas behind the report and why food is medicine, both for humanity and for the planet.
Misinformation may be plentiful, but public trust in Canada’s food system remains strong—among those who are actually talking about it. The challenge? Only three per cent of online conversations in Canada touch on food or agriculture at all. That gap is what the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI) aims to close with its campaign... Read More

This week, I welcome one of the most respected voices in regenerative agriculture: Nicole Masters. She's an agroecologist, educator, systems thinker, and author of For the Love of Soil - one of the best books I read while researching my second book FOOD. With over 25 years of hands-on experience across North America, Australasia and globally, Nicole helps farmers, land stewards and businesses rebuild ecosystems from the ground up - literally.My favourite aspect of Nicole's genius, is her dot connection and analogies that can engage anyone from anywhere to care deeply for soil and understand why soil health is not just an agricultural concern but a planetary and human-health imperative - there's no confusion: We must come together, and we must act now to turn the health of soil around to be able to turn our health around, too. We explore what's happening beneath our feet: the microbial networks, chemical dialogues and nutrient pathways that determine the resilience of entire landscapes, food systems, and ultimately our own bodies.Despite the weight of global environmental challenges, Nicole leaves us with a grounded sense of possibility. Her work demonstrates that nature is astonishingly responsive when we create the conditions for recovery - and that regeneration often begins with surprisingly small, accessible shifts.Whether you're a farmer, a gardener, a policy-maker or simply someone who eats food and wants a livable planet, this episode offers inspiration, tangible insights, and a renewed sense of agency in a time when many feel helpless.Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, Your Host.Fancy a few more podcasts we've done over the years, related to this one?Show #109: Joel Salatin on food, soil and regenerative effects of working with nature's systemsShow #416 Tammi Jonas PhD: Designing a Food System for All — Culturally Relevant, Nutritious, and ecologically soundShow #280 – Holistic Healing of People and Planet with Biodynamics Farmer, David McFallShow #136: Charlie Arnott on Regenerative & Biodynamic AgricultureShow #417 From Farm to Eater: Let's focus on what and who is making a difference when trying to change the food system.And more…Want to learn more about this week's guest?Website: www.integritysoils.com/coachesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/Integrity_soilsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicolemasters1Nicole's book: https://bit.ly/487Z4DbThank you to this month's show partners for joining us to help you make your low tox swaps! @WatersCoFilters take everything you don't want OUT, put precious trace minerals back IN and give you a clean water solution for any situation and budget - drinking & shower. 15% of site wide Nov 1-Dec 15.

Cyber attacks don't just knock systems offline—they can empty shelves, disrupt feeding schedules, endanger animals, and muddy price signals across the food supply. We sat down with Kristin (Demoranville) King, CEO of Anzen Sage and host of Bites and Bytes Podcast, to unpack how modern agriculture runs on a mesh of OT, data, and logistics that adversaries increasingly target. From GPS-guided tractors to sensor-packed dairy parlors, the farm has become an edge-compute environment where ransomware and misconfigurations have real-world consequences you feel at the store and at the table.Kristin traces her journey from IT into plant floors and incident response, revealing why security wasn't designed into most food and ag systems and what that means for resilience. We explore the most common attacks—phishing, ransomware, and DDoS—and why they hit harder here than in other sectors. She shares a clear-eyed look at co-op breaches, invoice scams that exploit older operators, and thorny questions about who owns farm-generated data. We also step into underreported territory: radical activism and agroterrorism tactics like doxxing, deepfakes, and drone footage that act like insider threats and can devastate small producers.You'll hear practical, low-cost steps that make a difference fast: fold digital checks into safety routines, change default passwords, map critical assets, plan for backup and recovery, and vet vendors with a security-by-design lens. Kristin previews her upcoming Wiley book, "Securing What Feeds Us," which blends systems thinking, OT realities, and grounded business guidance to help leaders connect incidents to food safety and supply outcomes. If you care about cybersecurity, food safety, or just want your groceries to show up reliably, this conversation connects the dots.
What would it take to make nutritious food both affordable and culturally relevant across Africa? In this episode of the Let's Talk Agriculture Podcast, we sit down with Taylor Quinn, Founder of Tailored Food, to explore what it really means to build nutritious, low-cost food systems rooted in African culture. Taylor shares how his team is rethinking food systems by combining community insight, local ingredients, and smart business models that make nutrition sustainable — not charity-based. From leveraging consulting work to fund social impact projects, to navigating the complexities of working with the UN system, this conversation offers a real look at how impact and innovation can co-exist. If you care about food security, African agriculture, or sustainable food innovation, this episode will leave you inspired and more importantly, equipped with new ideas for what's possible.

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar The Impact of Global Change on Food Security in 2050: Assessing the Risks Through the Lens of Food Trade Organized by IFPRI in partnership with MIT Abdul Latif Jameel Water and Food Systems Lab/FACT Alliance November 19, 2025 Trade is crucial to achieving food security. The Jameel Index for Food Trade and Vulnerability (Jameel Index) is a valuable new tool to guide policy and investment decisions that support sustainable international development and food security through food trade. The Index provides food trade vulnerability scores for more than 180 countries by synthesizing global indicators into a composite vulnerability index to better understand how food trade dynamics can affect food security. It combines a range of meta-indicators to assess food trade vulnerability for nine staple crops and economically important agricultural commodities. The online platform also allows users to customize the Index to reflect their policy or investment questions. This seminar will present results from the Jameel Index for global change scenario projections to 2050, with inputs from IFPRI's Food Modeling Framework. IFPRI's IMPACT-GLOBE modeling linkage and new bespoke bilateral trade model, developed specifically for the Jameel Index, uses a set of population and economic growth, along with climate change scenarios. The seminar will present findings related to food trade, food import vulnerability, and food security, along with insights on drivers of these findings. Following the presentation of results, a panel of food trade and development experts will discuss policy implications. A general Q&A session will follow the panel.

Are food systems changed bottom up or top down? How do diplomacy and negotiations on a high political level work? What is an effective way to bridge practice and policy? Today we discuss with diplomat Pio Wennubst and SFYN executive director Jorrit Kiewik, how policies and negotiations but also bottom-up approaches can change our food systems. What do Pio and Jorrit have in common? Apart from the faith in diplomacy and love for food, they were connected through Bites of Transfoodmation: an initiative that brings together young motivated individuals to create a community of practice and change the future of our food systems. Jorrit was one of the youth joining the initiative and Pio, founded BOT, via the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

My guest today, Dr. Bryan Dale, is here to explore these nuances. Bryan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environment, Agriculture, and Geography at Bishop's University. His research interests include food sovereignty, agroecology, climate change, environmental justice, social movements, and alternative economic initiatives (especially in food and farming). He completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Culinaria Research Centre at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and a PhD and MA in Human Geography with a specialization in Environmental Studies at the University of Toronto's Department of Geography & Planning. He has a new paper out in Canadian Food Studies on consumers' roles in a just food system transition, going beyond individualistic or household behaviours to explore the broader frameworks required to achieve these goals in post-capitalistic food systems. These observations are based on his research and interviews with farmers and alternative food organizations in Ontario and Québec. Today, we explore these ideas, the tensions between farmers and consumers, and the role of state interventions in these food system potentials.

Send us a textA new report on health and climate change paints the grimmest picture yet about what's going on – not just that 2024 was the hottest year on record, but evidence that many governments have stopped even pretending to try to do anything about it.The 2025 Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change finds that more than half a million people die every year from heat-related causes, up 23 percent since the 1990s. Air pollution just from wildfire smoke was linked to 154,000 deaths in 2024. And 2.5 million people die every year because of the continued burning of fossil fuels, the report says.But Dr. Tafadzwa Mabhaudhi, Professor of Climate Change, Food Systems, and Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Director of the Lancet Countdown in Africa, says it's not all bad news. Communities, people acting in groups, city governments, and others can make a difference.“We do have the power,” says Tafadzwa, who joins One World, One Health host Maggie Fox in this episode to talk about the report and what he sees for the future.African nations, especially, have the opportunity to show the way as they build cities that take advantage of clean energy, says Tafadzwa, who is also a professor in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, Future Africa, at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.The report finds hope in this trend, and estimates 160,000 lives are being saved annually as communities shift away from coal and enjoy cleaner air.Listen as Tafadzwa describes some of the successes in fighting climate change and what people and communities can do to encourage their governments to act.

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!

In this climategenn episode I am speaking with Professor Paul Behrens, British Academy Global Professor, at the Oxford Martin School, at the University of Oxford, UK. “If we continue on the way we're going, we just have less and less resiliency in the system, less and less ability to roll with the punches of climate change.”Paul is the keynote speaker at the Sustainability In Drinks conference being held in London on the 21st October, where he will highlighting the incredibly fragile state of food production and supply. This fragility is being exacerbated by climate change.https://sustainabilityindrinks.com/“Some research suggests that food prices will increase between one and three percentage points, so an extra one to three percent per year by 2035, based on climate impacts. Now, the thing you've got to remember on the modelling on this is it's very hard, extremely hard, to model all the different impacts on the food system. In general, when I look at a model or an outcome of the model, I typically think that it's probably going to be a little bit worse than what you read.”Here we discuss the changes urgently required to help us navigate a more resilient pathway to the future. Aside from the Sustainability In Drinks conference on the 21st October, Paul is also part of a broader presentation being given at Westminster Hall in London on 27th November. This National Emergency Briefing on climate change will be given to MP's, as well as other government officials and business leaders.

Northern Ireland needs a new independent environmental regulator, properly staffed and financially resourced to tackle the many challenges it will face. That's one of the recommendations of a comprehensive review of the country's environmental governance which its authors describe as a ‘call to action'. The review was prompted by a number of environmental concerns including extensive and repeated blooms of blue-green algae in Lough Neagh which supplies forty percent of drinking water. The report also said there was “starkly lacking clarity “ over roles, responsibilities and accountability. We speak to Dr Viviane Gravey from Queen's University in Belfast who chaired the review panel.We're talking about beer and cider all this week on Farming Today and one crucial part of beer is malting barley. We visit a maltster in the heart of Norfolk A new report says the UK must radically transform the way it produces and consumes food if it is to avoid a cycle of escalating crises. The authors say action is needed on a scale not seen since the Second World War to safeguard food security, protect public health and meet climate targets. The Roadmap for Resilience: A UK Food Plan for 2050 argues that urgent reform is essential to reboot the economy, reduce pressure on the NHS and prevent repeated shocks from rising food prices, supply chain disruption and climate disasters.Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

This offers a communal hug, if you will, by enveloping the animal's life with a safe, healthy, happy and tranquil environment, which we know will undoubtedly provide a better life for them. Their conversations weave between regenerative agriculture, animal welfare, and consumer demand. The speakers discuss the importance of integrating livestock with crops, the challenges faced in modern agriculture, and the role of youth in shaping the future of farming. They emphasize the need for visual thinking and innovation in agricultural practices, as well as the impact of climate change on food production. Featuring: Dr Temple Grandin is an American scientist and industrial designer whose own experience with autism funded her professional work in creating systems to counter stress in certain human and animal populations.Dr. Grandin did not talk until she was three and a half years old.
