Podcasts about Land use

Send us a textCALL TO ACTION DEADLINE: September 15, 2025www.blueribboncoalition.org/hammersHost Big Rich Klein sits down with BlueRibbon Coalition's Ben Burr and longtime Johnson Valley advocate Shannon Welch to unpack a fast-moving proposal that could reshape recreation at the Hammers. The U.S. Marine Corps has requested permanent Special Use Airspace (SUA) over Johnson Valley—from the ground up to 8,000 feet—split into four corridors (A–D). While framed as limited use, the Environmental Assessment (EA) seeks a permanent designation via the FAA, not a temporary, training-only restriction.What's at stake - Medevac and search-and-rescue flights for everyday users, not just races - Backcountry aviation, personal drones, and private landowners (20,000 acres impacted) - Commercial filming/testing (e.g., Ford), ranching operations, and year-round OHV access - The integrity of a Congressionally Designated OHV Area and its $71M local economic impact. A precedent of closure-by-airspace has been seen at White Sands and Yuma Proving Ground.Community action - Comment deadline: September 15 - Submit via blueribboncoalition.org/hammers – Blue Ribbon guarantees your comments will be shared. Share widely with your OHV, aviation, ranching, and local business networksKey points - EA claims “no significant impact,” but provides no enforceable safeguards - Marines told some stakeholders “60 days/year,” yet the EA seeks permanent SUA – Blue Ribbon's reasonable alternative: a 1,500-foot buffer from ground/elevation to protect civilian useSupport the show

There've been huge advances in artificial intelligence in recent years, and it's prompted Lincoln University to launch a new Master of Artificial Intelligence for Land Use.

This week we are recording live in the John Deere booth at the Farm Progress Show in Illinois. This event is huge in the agriculture world so this week's message is inclusive to owners of all different land-use types. From Ag-land, to timber production land and even cattle pastures, we talk to producers of different crops and how to expand operations and value land with some outside of the box thinking. It is easy to become singular minded when an operation is dependent upon success to hold the land, but oftentimes that singular focus can also be the thing that holds you back as a landowner. So, we breakdown each land use type and discuss the avenues out there for landowners to really increase revenue streams and find the max value in your land holdings. We hope you enjoy this educational podcast all about land ownership! Thank you John Deere for the invite as well, we will be back next year!

What happens when rural communities face development projects that promise prosperity but threaten local resources and way of life? Trent Luce, the voice behind Luce Trails Media for 26 years, joins us for a frank conversation about the changing landscape of America's heartland.Trent shares his journey as a sixth-generation American farmer whose family built their Illinois barn in 1889—a structure that still stands today as his nephew prepares to become the seventh generation of land stewards. This deep connection to agricultural heritage frames our discussion about modern challenges facing rural America.We dive into Trent's formative experience managing a pig farm on the Rosebud Reservation, where he hired and trained tribal members amidst 87% unemployment rates. While the project initially offered hope, it ultimately revealed how development initiatives can divide communities along unexpected lines. This experience transformed Trent into a passionate advocate for transparent communication about food production and rural development.The conversation shifts to today's pressing rural development issues—particularly AI data centers consuming unprecedented amounts of electricity and water in small communities. When Trent reveals that a single AI center in Cheyenne will use five times the electricity of every home in Wyoming combined, we're forced to question the true cost of these projects. Are the promised jobs worth the resource drain? Who truly benefits when tax credits drive development decisions?We also explore the status of controversial CO2 pipeline projects across the Great Plains and how South Dakota's grassroots opposition has effectively challenged corporate interests. Throughout our discussion, one message rings clear: when communities organize and show up at public meetings, they retain control over their future. As Trent powerfully states, "We haven't shown up to hold accountable the people representing us in this representative republic. If we start showing up, we actually dictate the direction of the ship."Ready to understand what's at stake in your community? Listen now and discover how property rights, resource management, and citizen engagement intersect to shape rural America's future.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

What does it take to build truly regenerative economies? Circularity is not just about recycling or material flows. It also requires transforming how we use land, manage ecosystems, and design business models that work with and not against the biosphere. In this episode, speakers explore how to move beyond technical fixes and address the broader environmental and economic systems that shape regeneration. Recorded live at the CIRCULAR REPUBLIC FESTIVAL 2025, the panel brought together Michael Obersteiner from the University of Oxford and Miki Yokoyama from Aurum Impact to share perspectives on what it takes to turn regenerative economy concepts into practical strategies.

In this episode: The largest private landowner in Florida is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Better known as the Mormon Church, it owns more than 600,000 acres around the state. About half of its land holdings are cattle ranchlands east of Orlando — where the the church has long-term plans to build the equivalent of a new city of 500,000 people. But voters in Orlando recently approved new rules meant to slow suburban sprawl on rural land. So the Mormon Church turned to Florida's Republican-controlled Legislature to step in. And the church had help.Show notesThe bills discussed in this show:Senate Bill 1118 — Land Use and Development RegulationsSenate Bill 180 — EmergenciesTime is a flat circle: Lobbyists for developers pushed Florida lawmakers to block rules meant to save rural lands from sprawlThe top 10 landowners in Florida: Land LordsReach more about the Mormon Church's long-term development plans in central Florida (stories from the August 2017 issue of Florida Trend magazine):Ranchland to rooftops in central FloridaDeseret Ranch — the LandRural Florida's players and their projectsTavistock's Role in Developing Rural FloridaDuda's agribusiness development reachThis the second episode to come out of public records we obtained after the end of the Florida Legislature's 2025 session.

Last week, the New York City Council voted to approve the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan (MSMX) . One off the largest, “neighborhood rezonings” in the past decade, this is the first major rezoning that takes full advantage of the City of Yes zoning initiative that was approved in December 2024.MSMX rezones a 42-block area generally extending from 23rd Street to 41st Street between Fifth Avenue and Eighth Avenue. For decades, these blocks were zoned for manufacturing uses and prohibited residential uses. With time, most, if not all, manufacturing jobs left this area. In recognition of this, MSMX rezoned the majority of these blocks to mixed-use districts that allow for, among other things, light manufacturing uses and residential uses. With this, MSMX is estimated to deliver approximately 9,500 units of housing, over 2,800 of which will be permanently affordable.For more information on MSMX, we encourage you to listen to our podcast Land Use & Zoning Update: Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan is Approved by the City Council where Herrick partners Mitchell Korbey and Robert Huberman discuss MSMX and what it means for the future of Midtown South.We're excited for the opportunity to help our clients better understand the benefits of MSMX, including how it allows for increased density and the potential for office-to-residential conversions.Music by Michelangelo Sosnowitz

This episode is produced in partnership with the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of SydneyProf. David Levinson joined the University of Sydney from the University of Minnesota in 2017 as Foundation Professor in Transport Engineering. He conducts research on Accessibility, Transport Economics, Transport Network Evolution, and Transport and Land Use Interaction. He is the Founding Editor of the Journal of Transport and Land Use and of Findings.What you'll learn:The meaning of accessibility. How it differs from mobility, how to measure it, and why it should be the core goal of transport planning.How land use and transport are inseparable. And why treating them as separate problems leads to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.The accessibility trade-offs of major projects and policy. How initiatives create winners and losers in access, and what that reveals about policy priorities.Why speed isn't everything. Reaching more destinations versus moving faster, and how this shapes city design and property values.How small design choices shape behaviour. Traffic signal timings can encourage or discourage walking, cycling, or driving.

10 Human-Centered Leadership Principles1. Ask for forgiveness, not permissionInnovation rarely starts with approval.Build what you believe in — and deal with the politics later.You will be remembered for the rules you break.2. Build teams first, then productsGood products are built by healthy teams.Invest in trust, care, and clarity — and the product will follow.3. People and interactions over processes and toolsStolen from Agile, and still true.Tools are only as good as the humans using them.Build relationships before systems.4. Find a way — or build oneConstraints don't stop creativity.They shape it.Be scrappy. Be resourceful. Be relentless.5. Never build what is askedDig deeper.Understand the real need.Then build what actually matters.6. Less talking, more buildingEndless alignment leads nowhere.Create momentum by making things.Then talk about what's real.7. Live off the landUse what you have, don't wait for ideal conditions.Work with the terrain, not against it.It takes knowledge, humility, and creativity.But that's how great work gets done.8. Everyone is a designerDesign is not a job title — it's a mindset.Everyone on the team shapes the experience.So give them the tools, the trust, and the invitation to contribute.9. Good management is as little management as possible.The best leadership is invisible.Create clarity, then get out of the way. People want clarity not transparency.Support, don't control.Unblock, don't bottleneck.10. We all have wings, but some of us don't know whyThere's magic in everyone.Part of leadership is reminding people they can fly —even if they've forgotten how..How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

The Australian Parliament passed the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment (Reconsiderations) Bill 2025, restricting the Minister for the Environment's power to reconsider certain past decisions under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). This change has significant implications for environmental oversight, particularly in cases where new information emerges about the impact of ongoing land use activities, such as the concerns raised over salmon farming in Tasmania's Macquarie Harbour and its potential effect on the endangered Maugean skate. Holding Redlich Special Counsel Katharine Huxley is an environment and planning lawyer with experience in development, compliance, local government, and administrative law, who can discuss the implications of this significant new amendment. In this interview, Huxley explains what this will mean for future land use and environmental management in general.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that traps energy far more efficiently than carbon dioxide. Reduction of methane emissions is thus essential to slowing climate change, and livestock are a major source of these emissions. Dr. Phil Cardoso talks with Dr. Alex Hristov of Penn State University about nutritional strategies for mitigating production of methane by dairy cattle. They discuss the effectiveness of several different feed additives at reducing methane emissions and their effects on DMI and milk production.Links to papers and other sources mentioned in this episodeHristov et al. 2022.

As renewable power grows, land use decisions will influence its environmental impact. --- Decarbonizing the electric grid will require a dramatic expansion of renewable energy by mid-century, and significantly more land dedicated to clean power. But where and how that buildout occurs will shape whether the environmental benefits of renewables are fully realized or come at a high cost to ecosystems, farmland, and communities. Grace Wu of the Spatial Climate Solutions Lab at UC Santa Barbara and Jonathan Thompson, research director at Harvard Forest, examine the tension between rapid renewable energy expansion and conscientious land use. Wu, who has co-authored recent reports on the environmental impacts of clean energy siting policies, explores strategies for minimizing impacts while ensuring energy remains reliable and affordable. Thompson, whose research quantifies the effects of land use on forest ecosystems, discusses the push-and-pull dynamic unfolding in Massachusetts, where solar development has resulted in real losses of forests and farmland, and where new siting models are emerging. The two also explore how incentives and regulations influence land use decisions, and how policy can reduce land impacts while supporting clean power development. Grace Wu is an assistant professor in the Environmental Studies program at the University of California Santa Barbara and leads the university’s Spatial Climate Solutions Lab. Jonathan Thompson is senior ecologist and research director at Harvard Forest.

In this week's episode of then & now, we present a recording of a recent panel discussion focusing on L.A. wildfires past, present, and future. This program is part of the “Why History Matters” series presented by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History—a series dedicated to the belief that historical knowledge is an indispensable, and often missing, ingredient in public debate.”Why History Matters: L.A. Wildfires Past, Present, and Future,” brought experts together to explore how historical and indigenous perspectives can reshape our understanding of wildfires, especially in light of the devastating Los Angeles County fires in January 2025. The discussion, anchored in the Fowler Museum at UCLA's “Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art” exhibition, interrogates prevailing narratives that frame fire solely as a destructive force, instead foregrounding indigenous epistemologies that recognize fire as a vital ecological process and a generational resource. Professors Hitoshi Abe, Gerald Clarke, Jr., and Char Miller distinguish three primary drivers of contemporary wildfire crises: climate change, fire suppression policies, and patterns of urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. To more effectively mitigate and adapt to the escalating risks posed by wildfires, these panelists discuss ways to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary land management and urban policy.Moderator:Stephen Aron is the Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President of the Autry Museum of the American West. A specialist in the history of frontiers, borderlands, and the American West, Dr. Aron holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.A., Ph.D.).Panelists:Hitoshi Abe is a Professor in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles. Professor Abe is currently the director of Paul I. and Hisako Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies and holds the Terasaki Chair for contemporary Japanese study. In 2017, he established xLAB, an international think tank initiative that examines architecture's elastic boundaries and considers new possibilities through interdisciplinary collaboration in the study of the future built environment.Gerald Clarke Jr. is a Professor in the Department of Ethnic Studies and Special Advisor to the Chancellor on Native American Relations at the University of California, Riverside. He is an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band of Indians and lives on the Cahuilla Indian Reservation. Gerald oversees the Clarke family cattle ranch and remains heavily involved in Cahuilla culture. Char Miller is the W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. His teaching and research reflect his fascination with all things environmental. Classes on U.S. environmental history, water in the U.S. West, and public lands management, like those on urbanization and the interplay between the natural and built landscapes, have deeply informed his writing.

Earth Day is April 22nd. In honor of our watery planet we revisit a land-centric episode this week on World Ocean Radio. What About the Land? 40% of the planet is used for farming and livestock, often degraded by unsustainable or destructive practices. Coupled with coastal, wetland and reclaimed land development in the name of urban expansion, we are fast-approaching a tipping point. What are we to do? Are we destined to repeat the mistakes of the past? Or do we possess the collective will to develop creative solutions for repair, redesign and reconstruction for our 21st century transportation, supply, and municipal needs? World Ocean Radio: 5-minute weekly insights in ocean science, advocacy, education, global ocean issues, challenges, marine science, policy, and solutions.

Greg Phillips, co-founding partner of the Houston-based law firm Phillips Kaiser, joins the Soil Sisters to discuss the challenges of preserving family land. Greg's rural upbringing in East Texas and the difficulties faced by generational landowners inspired his commitment to helping those families with limited financial resources find solutions. This discussion dives into the challenges of succession planning, heirs' property issues, maintaining family land, and the newly launched East Texas Heirs Property Initiative. The conversation emphasizes the importance of keeping family land intact and out of the box thinking to build generational wealth.TIME STAMPS:00:00 Welcome to the Soil Sisters Podcast00:25 Meet Greg Phillips01:14 Greg's East Texas Roots03:53 The Importance of Succession Planning04:48 Greg's Journey into Land Ownership13:05 Alternative Land Uses and Opportunities20:09 The East Texas Heirs Property Initiative27:14 Land Utilization for Generational Wealth28:08 Innovative Land Use Programs29:45 Building Infrastructure for Landowners31:18 Nonprofit and Private Sector Collaboration34:47 Hemp Production and Industrial Uses44:02 Getting Involved and Next Steps 

Jake talks about a quintessential American neighborhood, open carry people, and forgotten parcels of land outside cities.

As a “dirt lawyer,” Don Pinto's cases typically involve one party that wants to do something in real estate, and another party trying to stop it. Whether coastal erosion or view obstruction with residential homeowners, or developers seeking to build new commercial or residential property, disputes end up in court if he can't help his clients come to terms sooner. Each day on the job looks different, from delving into historical records for title disputes to navigating complex cases involving difficult expert witness and judges who cannot help get into the weeds on a very specialized area of law. Don also talks about how the business of real estate law has changed as land values increase, and the unexpected downsides of transparency in law firm compensation—where open financials can breed tension and rivalry among colleagues. Don is a graduate of Suffolk University Law School.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Vermont LawLearn more about Rutgers LawLearn more about Rutgers LawAccess LawHub today!
