One of the most exciting conversations I have had all year. Abhi, co-founder and CEO of roots is is a software engineer turned farmer who is really pushing LLMs to the edge of their abilities. In this interview, we discover how he has been using Google Gemini's large context windows to feed it thousands of agriculture science papers and discover insights relevant for his agriculture startup Living Roots. His insights have already generated 30% yield increases for smallhold farmers in the first season, at very limited cost!At roots, Abhi and the team are even going so far as to combine Reinforcement Learning with LLMs reasoning abilities to predict the outcome of agricultural interventions.During this interview, I really got to think that every research lab on the planet should have the pipeline that Abhi has built. Please watch for a really insightful and fun conversationCheck out rootshttps://roots.ag/Follow Abhi on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/abhimagarwal/Follow Flavio on LinkedIn for more great content on the intersection of AI and Agriculture/Climatehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/flaviorump/Medium: https://medium.com/@flaviorumpTwitter: https://twitter.com/flaviorump

Hey there! Welcome to this episode of Wine and Dime, where I am going to introduce you to a new series on estate planning. Trust me, it's going to be a blast!So, let's dive right in! Estate planning is an important process that involves making some major decisions. And, if you're wondering why you need an estate plan, let me tell you, there are three basic reasons - privacy, protection of loved ones, and peace of mind.Now, let's talk about the five components of estate planning. First up, we have a will, which is a legal document that outlines your wishes for your assets after you pass away. Then, we have a healthcare proxy, which is a document that designates someone to make medical decisions for you if you're unable to do so. Next, we have a HIPAA release, which allows your designated person to access your medical records. After that, we have a power of attorney, which gives someone the authority to make financial decisions on your behalf. And last but not least, we have naming guardians for any minor children.It's important to do an annual review of your estate planning documents and pick primary and contingent guardians. Trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry. So, let's get started on this exciting journey of estate planning together!Remember, just like a good bottle of wine, the Wine and Dime Podcast gets better with time. So don't forget to rate and subscribe to our show, where we blend the flavors of wine and personal finance to help you achieve financial freedom!

This unique winery boasts wines from Australia and Rochester, New York. If you're a wine enthusiast, you might want to check them out!Estate Planning ExplainedAmy defines estate planning as legal planning that helps you control who inherits your assets and who can make medical and financial decisions on your behalf. She emphasizes that her goal is to educate, not provide specific legal advice.Why is Estate Planning Necessary?Amy discusses three reasons why estate planning is crucial:Control: Having an estate plan lets you decide who inherits your assets and makes important decisions for you.Peace of Mind: By determining the distribution of your assets in advance, you reduce potential conflicts after your death.Privacy: Proper planning ensures that your wishes are respected and your loved ones' privacy is protected.Key Components of an Estate PlanBeneficiary Designations: Deciding who will inherit your assets.Method of Distribution: Establishing how and when your beneficiaries will receive their inheritance.Trustees, Executors, and Powers of Attorney: Choosing the people who will make financial decisions for you if you're unable to do so.Health Care Proxies: Appointing someone to make healthcare decisions on your behalf.Guardians: If you have minor children, deciding who will care for them in your absence.Wills vs TrustsAmy explains the differences between a will and a trust. While both documents allow you to control who gets your assets, trusts offer more control and privacy.Remember to review your estate plan regularly and ensure that your designated executors, proxies, and guardians are aware of their responsibilities.Stay tuned for our upcoming episodes, where we'll delve deeper into different types of trusts, beneficiary designations,...

With 50 acts and eleven stages, the Living Roots festival is returning to Fredericton next week. Music columnist Emma Chevarie joins the show to speak on the festival and it's featured artists.

How an urgent need to make can lead to simple, accessible tools and methods.  Open pit fire the wild clay you harvested and processed with us earlier in the Season - if you don't have land, use a trashcan!  Can your earthenware make the transition to becoming ceramic?  Emily shares her artistic process and methods as a ceramic artist.    This is Part 3 of a three-part making exercise over the season of the show – harvesting wild clay (Ep 2), processing wild clay (Ep 11) and firing your wild clay in an open pit (Season finale and Part 3).   About Emily:  Emily Brownawell is a New York based ceramic artist. She earned her MFA in Ceramics at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Grants and fellowships include the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts Technical Assistant, Andrah Scholarship, Research and Creative Projects Award, Bolton Scholarship, and the Virginia Fuller Prize.  She has exhibited at the Dorsky Gallery Curatorial Programs, The Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Williamsburg Arts and Historical Center, and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.   Raised by oceanographers across the street from an intertidal region of Long Island Sound, the marine ecosystem played a powerful role throughout her childhood and continues to inform her practice through visual inspiration and systems of organization. Her work focuses on the physicality of the landscape. In her practice, the ceramic process represents a transformation of natural materials into objects of culture and records of time. Through ceramic sculpture and installation, she explores various relationships between natural and synthetic processes.  www.emilybrownawell.com instagram.com/emilybrownawell/ Music credit: "Song We Came To Sing" by Living Roots livingrootsmusic.com  

What's the soil food web got to do with it? This is a special podcast to prepare our audience for the upcoming Climate Smart Agriculture enhancements to the EQIP and CSP programs, amongst others. In our previous podcast recorded in November 2022, we spoke to South Dakota NRCS's Jessica Michalski and Kent Vlieger about some of the programmatic and practical aspects of the Climate Smart initiative, the potential opportunities for producers and what you as a producer can do to best prepare for the enhanced funding opportunity. In this podcast, we speak to soil scientist/biogeochemist Dr. Andrea Jilling from Oklahoma State University's Plant & Soil Sciences about some of the scientific underpinnings of the effect of climate smart practices that are extensively discussed in the previous podcast. Yes, we nerd out a little, but we think that you, our listeners are ready and will take this discussion in their stride and see how it may benefit you, especially as you think about your conservation plan and how the Climate Smart enhancements may benefit you. Topics that we discuss include: • What does the soil food web have to do with climate smart ag? Can you use climate smart ag to enhance nutrient efficiency? Just how diverse is organic matter, what is the rhizosphere? • How plants harness solar energy, and why they invest so much in below ground development, especially root exudates. • What do root exudates have to do with enhancing nutrient efficiency? • What does it mean when we say “carbon is the energy currency of the soil”? • How diverse is organic matter? Can we distinguish between particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral, or clay/silt associated organic matter? • What and has recent science done to shed more light on how view mineral associated organic matter? • How do POM and mineral associated organic matter work together to immobilize and release nutrients? • What do plant-soil interactions look like over the lifecycle of the plant in releasing and immobilizing nutrients, what are the management possibilities in the future, and what can we do now to optimize plant-soil interactions? • How do these principles work with soil minerals like phosphorus and why are pH hot spots at a microscopic scale are a big deal? • What kinds of change could you expect in your soils if you decided to go all in for climate smart ag? • What are scientists like Dr. Jilling thinking about for the future in agriculture? Will new research try to leverage more producer collaboration? Also, Dr. Jilling provides some parting words on resilience.

From a kid's blanket fort in an old barn, Psychotherapist and Flower Farmer Gretchen Winterkorn invites you to join her in finding the "Maker" in you that can take your life into your own hands. Think you aren't a Maker – someone who creates with their hands? Gretchen will challenge that belief. For thousands of years, humans have created their whole lives - their homes, food, clothes, and children - by their own hands. Tapping into this powerful lineage of using our hands has helped her improve her own life and inspired her to start this podcast. Gretchen shares her journey towards this moment - how trapping herself into the role of Psychotherapist was ultimately the best decision ever - and how she left an unfulfilling life in the city to become a flower farmer and now the creator of this show. Begin this journey towards taking more responsibility for your life and the fulfilling, joyful happy experiences you want to have in it.

The Hardys started Living Roots in 2016, and now split time between South Australia and New York, doing two harvests each year and experimenting with a wide range of varieties and styles that highlight the natural strengths of each region. Colleen wears many hats in the business, including spearheading the sales and marketing efforts for Living Roots.https://www.instagram.com/hardycoll/https://www.instagram.com/livingrootswine/ https://www.livingrootswine.com/ Follow The Swirl Suite:@SwirlSuitewww.swirlsuite.com SwirlSuite@gmail.com Sarita @VineMeUpTanisha @GirlMeetsGlassLeslie @Vino301Glynis @Vino_NoireSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/SwirlSuite.

She is keenly interested in sustainability issues, and the business of making ethical drinks and food. Her work appears regularly in Wine Searcher, Wine Enthusiast, Liquor.com and many other publications. Kathleen also co-authored a book called Hudson Valley Wine: A History of Taste & Terroir, which was published in 2017.

But, in truth, more and more influential producers and consumers are looking for something with a little more soul, and a lot more edge.Hybrids—especially in the challenging grape-growing zone of the East Coast—have become ascendant for several reasons.First, more consumers are seeking out unconventional, organically grown wines. IWSR predicts that by 2023, about 976 million bottles of organic wine will be consumed, up 34 percent from 720 million in 2018.Younger wine lovers are especially keen to find wines produced from sustainably grown grapes, according to Silicon Valley Bank’s most recent Wine Industry Trends and Report, which stated “sustainability, health and environmental issues,” in tandem with concerns over “social justice, equity and diversity,” are driving the purchasing decisions of Millennials and members of Gen Z.Unfortunately growing classic vitis vinifera in certain East Coast regions is nigh impossible without nuking them with chemicals.But growing hybrids pretty much anywhere is arguably easier. And more eco-friendly.Thankfully, the pioneering work of scientists and early adopters of non-vinifera grapes have helped yield a new generation of growers, producers and consumers who embrace them.The Hybrid SciencePrograms at Cornell University and University of Minnesota have created thousands of new varieties of grapes designed to combat diseases and weather challenges. Grapes that emerge from these programs are typically crosses between so-called European vinifera, and others native to North America and Asia, like riparia, labrusca and rotondifolia.Cornell has been working on developing hybrid grapes for more than 100 years.“Genetic sequencing technology has come a long way, and in the past 10 years we have been able to use sequencing to quickly determine cold hardiness and disease resistance,” says Bruce Reisch, a professor who specializes in grapevine breeding. He joined Cornell in 1980, and since then, has released 10 new wine grapes and four seedless table grapes. He explains that they are not genetically modifying the grapes, merely determining which ones will flourish in challenging conditions, and pursuing the more promising hybrids.For wineries like Shelburne Vineyard in the Champlain Valley, where winters are harsh, springs rainy, and summers humid, the work of scientists like Reisch is nothing less than essential.“Shelburne has been planting hybrids since 1998, and while they pioneered hybrid grape growing in Vermont, we have all been thrilled to see how much the market has grown and developed,” says winemaker Ethan Joseph, who joined Shelburne in 2008. “We’ve learned how important site selection, careful vineyard management, and low intervention winemaking are. We treat our hybrids with as much care and thought as other growers treat their vitis vinifera, and that has allowed the terroir and the best qualities of these grapes to shine through.”Joseph’s ultimate goal is to eliminate the use of chemicals, a feat he says would be “impossible” if they grew all vitis vinifera. He’s most excited about Marquette (a Pinot Noir hybrid with notes of cherry, pepper and summer berries), Louise Swenson (a white hybrid with acidity, and floral notes), and La Crescent (a white wine hybrid with notes of apricot, citrus, and peach).In 2017, Shelburne went out on a limb and pushed aggressively into the natural wine and hybrid space with Iapetus. “That line has skyrocketed,” Joseph notes. “Now it comprises about 40 percent of our 5,000-case annual count.”Convincing the ConsumerColleen Hardy, co-owner of Living Roots Wine Co. in the Finger Lakes and Adelaide, concurs. She launched Living Roots in 2016, in partnership with her South Australian winemaking husband Sebastian as a kind of cross-global viticultural experiment.“We wanted to use grapes in both regions that are, first and foremost, climate appropriate,” Sebastian Hardy says. “In the Finger Lakes, that means Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer, but also Aromella, Arendell, Rougeon, Regent and Petit Pearl.” The couple, who sells 85 percent of their production from their tasting room, doesn’t have trouble hand-selling their hybrid and hybrid-vitis vinifera blended wines. “Once we talk visitors through it.”Colleen Hardy says that finding high-quality hybrids is dependent on the grower. “We offer to pay more if they grow it with the same care that we expect with vinifera, and hold off on spraying,” she says“In the Hudson Valley, especially if you want to grow organically, hybrids are necessary,” says Todd Cavallo, who founded Wild Arc Farm in Pine Bush, N.Y. with his wife Crystal. “We lost our entire crop of Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir in 2018. We replanted some of the Pinot Noir, but the rest we planted to hybrids.”Wild Arc’s one-acre estate vineyard is primarily experimental though; they source most of their grapes.“We are working with other like-minded producers who want organically grown hybrid grapes,” Cavallo explains. “A lot of [hybrids] have been grown for bulk wines, but we are promising growers that if they change their farming practices, we’ll pay more.”By working cooperatively, Cavallo and others hope that they can simultaneously increase the value of hybrid fruit, and change market perception. Philadelphia-based Alexandra Cherniavsky, a sommelier and consultant who finds distribution for wineries at restaurants, has seen the market for hybrid wines change firsthand. But she believes there’s still a long way to go before restaurants are ready to open their lists to hybrids.“Once people try wines made from hybrid grapes, they’re a lot more open,” she says. “They sell well in tasting rooms, where the winemaking team can explain their history and provide context.”But if they’re going to take off, they need to appear on more restaurant lists. “Wineries should approach local restaurants armed with the educational materials and context they provide at the tasting room. If they know how to explain them to diners, they’ll be a lot more liable to put them on the list,” Cherniavsky says.Not Just for Challenging ClimatesThe East Coast is hardly the only place hybrids are found. At Bells Up Winery in Newberg, Oregon, winemaker Dave Specter says that their Seyval Blanc is farmed with fewer chemicals than his vitis vinifera. And, the wines have achieved “cult status,” selling out every year.“We are the only planting of Seyval Blanc in Willamette Valley, and only the second in Oregon. It’s not only a part of our plan to diversify our vineyards and enable us to react to climate change, but also part of our larger push to appeal to younger, more adventurous consumers,” he says.A parallel movement, PIWI, is happening in Europe, although as Reisch explains, it’s slightly different.“Most of Europe does not have the harsh winters that we do here,” he says. “The hybrid programs there are inherently very different, because their grapes are being crossed with the goal of resisting different disease and weather pressures.”Some regions have yet to open the door to hybrids; they’re banned in France in wines with appellation names, but for a certain type of American winemaker—and consumer—that kind of prohibition only makes them more enchanting.____________________________________________________________________As a producer, I have experience many of these anecdotes firsthand.  Year after year, our bold red blend of hybrid grapes, our crisp dry Seyval Blanc, our Charmat produced blend of hybrid whites, and our balanced but sweet Moscato made from Valvin Muscat, a grape developed by Bruce Reisch, are among our bestsellers.  In our immediate region, our Seyval Blanc sees perennially brisk sales at off-premise retail locations.  I craft these wines with the same dedication as every other wine, and consumers love them.  They still do not receive the recognition they should from major wine publications, but they keep our customers happy, and that keeps us in business. Even I admit to stressing our production of vinifera varietals, from sparkling to still, and from white to red.  It is afterall, what we personally grow.  But I commend the three growers I work with in the Finger Lakes, that year after year, with drastically less inputs and nearly regardless of weather, grow and deliver clean and delicious fruit.  When I left California to make wine in the Finger Lakes, people questioned why I made the transition.  A major component for me was the sense of adventure, and feeling of it being a frontier.  Frontiers introduce us to new things, they force us to think differently, and find new ways of addressing challenges.  For a century, the Finger Lakes and much of the East coast has done that through developing grape varietals that suit the climate.  Today, it’s done with those considerations in mind as well as with a thought towards preservation and conservation.  Saving a pass through the vineyard with the tractor means one less spray, or more, and that means less compaction of the soil, and better soil health.  Every little thing we do adds up, and just like that, a century of lessons from the frontier may impact the world of wine in the century to come.  If you’re a wine writer, feel free to forward me an article for consideration at viticulturepodcast@gmail.com.  I’m happy to look it over, and maybe even discuss it with you on the show.

In this episode of Wine and Dime Kerrie Beene guest hosts and we bring back a Webinar that Kerrie did. In it she is talking about the dynamics that come into play while dealing with loved ones when getting older. She talks about the barriers and the downfalls of not having a plan and some of things to think about. This a great episode for anyone of any generation. Winery - https://www.livingrootswine.com/ (Living Roots Winery) Living Roots is an urban winery in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York [Colleen's hometown] and a not-so-urban winery in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia [Sebastian's hometown]. Though Living Roots was founded in 2016, our legacy began six generations back with Thomas Hardy, Seb's great-great-great grandfather. In 1850, at the age of 20, Thomas immigrated to the new British colony, Australia, and jumpstarted 150+ years of family winemaking. Seb grew up in his dad's vineyards, particularly in the Kuitpo subregion of the Adelaide Hills, got a degree in Viticulture and Oenology in Adelaide, with an exchange in California, and worked vintages all over the world.  On the other side of the world, Colleen grew up in Rochester, New York [spending time around the Finger Lakes region], studied marketing, worked in corporate America, and headed to Adelaide for the 2014 vintage at Hardy's Tintara Winery when she was ready for a new adventure. We established Living Roots in 2016, and started splitting our time between South Australia and New York, doing two harvests each year. We source grapes from different vineyards and growers, including from both of our families, and some wines are made year-to-year while others are one-offs. In the Finger Lakes, our focus is on rich whites and sparklings, and in South Australia, it's vibrant, medium-bodied reds. Each vintage is an opportunity to explore new vineyards and varieties, and our aim is to highlight the terroir and natural strengths of these diverse regions, making wines with wild ferments, minimal inputs and maximum deliciousness. We opened the Living Roots urban winery and tasting room in Rochester, New York in 2017, bringing our Finger Lakes and South Australian wines to the Upstate New York market first. Now, we're putting more emphasis on Living Roots's presence in Australia, expanding distribution and setting up a cellar door with tastings by appointment in Kuitpo where we have our small winery. Stay tuned for what's next! Thanks for listening and be sure to like, rate, subscribe and share.

An episode devoted to a few lesser known topics relations to New York Wines including growing in the Hudson River Region, Lake Erie and the burgeoning urban winery scene. An historic growing region, the Hudson River Region is one of the oldest established AVAs in the US having received the designation in 1982. It's also home to the oldest commercial vineyard and the oldest continuously active winery, Brotherhood Winery (1839), having survived prohibition by making sacramental wine. Only a 45-minute drive from Manhattan, grape growing takes place largely on the western shores of the Hudson River Valley that stretch from just south of Albany to just north of the city, following the path of the river to its end in the Atlantic Ocean. We'll also take a look at the grapes grown on the southern shores of Lake Erie and although largely for juice and table grapes, also by a growing number of wineries. Who says you can't make wine in big cites? The fact that there are no vineyards in the city doesn't seem to inconvenience the swelling number of intrepid New York urban winery owners who source their grapes largely from Long Island and the Finger Lakes. John and Sara investigate the challenges of trucking grapes in from nearby wine regions, the relationships they develop with growers and how they virtually transport city-folk into New York State vineyards. All this and more in this 5th and final episode of the New York wine podcast series.Joining the Thieves in a round table discussion are  Matthew Spaccarelli of Fjord Vineyards in the Hudson Valley, Mario Mazza of Mazza Wines in Lake Erie, Colleen and Sebastian Hardy of Living Roots in Rochester and Christopher Nicolson of Red Hook Winery in Brooklyn, New York.  This episode was produced in partnership with the New York Grape & Wine Foundation.
