What if we've been getting peanut allergies wrong all along? For years, parents were told to avoid peanuts. Schools banned them. Fear shaped policy. What if one of the most common childhood allergies could actually be prevented, with the right timing? In this powerful episode, Markita Lewis, registered dietitian and leader at the National Peanut Board, reveals the surprising science behind early peanut introduction and why most families still haven't heard the message. Despite strong evidence that introducing peanuts around four to six months can dramatically reduce allergy risk, the gap between research and real-world practice remains wide. We also unpack a controversial question: Do peanut bans in schools actually make kids safer, or do they create a false sense of security? This episode challenges long-held assumptions, connects agriculture to public health innovation, and may completely change how you think about prevention. If you work in public health, pediatrics, policy or you simply care about evidence-based prevention, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.   Resources ▶️ Join the PHEC Podcast Community ▶️ Visit the PHEC Podcast Show Notes ▶️ DrCHHuntley, Public Health & Epidemiology Consulting

In the latest episode of The Peanut Podcast, hosts Ashton Pellom and Lauren Highfill Williams explore how colleges across the country are embracing peanuts—not just as a flavorful staple, but as a key part of thoughtful, modern allergen-management programs. This episode brings together the voices of chefs, nutrition directors, industry experts and a student ambassador to show how peanuts can stay on the menu safely, confidently and creatively.At the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Executive Sous Chef Caleb Pham oversees dining halls that serve tens of thousands of meals every day. For her, peanuts are inseparable from cultural authenticity and student expectation.“Peanut has always been an essential part of our menu design. Students come from India, Southeast Asia, China, and peanut has always been part of their cuisine.”Behind the scenes, Pham's team focuses heavily on training and daily communication to ensure accuracy and safety. “We tackle cross-contact and mislabeling through intensive allergy trainings. We constantly supervise and remind our staff of safe and sanitary practice in the kitchen.”From pad Thai to chicken satay, Pham says removing peanuts isn't an option; students simply wouldn't stand for it.UMass's best-in-class allergen strategy comes to life in the approach led by Sabrina Hafner, associate director of nutrition. Her team engages students with food allergies long before they arrive on campus—through orientation questionnaires, proactive communication and personalized consultations.And when it comes to peanuts, Hafner is clear: “We don't ban peanuts. Providing an environment where students feel empowered helps set them up for adult life, because peanuts are really not going anywhere.”Across the country, campuses are rethinking old assumptions about allergen safety. Valeri Lea, founder of Sherman Moritz LLC and consultant to the National Peanut Board, sees a major evolution. “The trend used to be avoidance, but we're seeing a real shift. Full exclusion doesn't create a safer or more inclusive environment.”Lea shares how universities are implementing proven systems and how strong processes build campus-wide confidence. “You can serve peanuts safely with strong operational systems in place. It really starts with confidence built on the back of a good process.”Rounding out the episode is Macy Moates, a student at Clemson University and an NPB Health Nut Club Ambassador. From food trucks to unexpected peanut-powered snacks, Moates says peanuts surprise students with both flavor and functionality. “There are so many things with peanuts in them. They're so nutritious. I can eat them midday, and I'm good for a while.”This episode highlights how peanuts support cultural authenticity, nutrition, inclusion and real-world readiness. Listen to the full episode of The Peanut Podcast to hear these stories firsthand—and discover why when peanuts are missing, something's missing.

In “Sharing the Farm Story”, National Peanut Board co-hosts Lauren Highfill Williams and Ashton Pellom takes listeners on a thrilling ride into the realities of farming, debunking food myths, discussing sustainability, and exploring what keeps farmers passionate about their work.  Featuring insights from Tara Vander Dussen, Randy the Peanut Farmer, and Abram Martens, this episode is a powerful reminder that the food we enjoy every day comes from hardworking individuals who care deeply about their land, crops, and communities.  Social media has made food trends more accessible than ever, but with that accessibility comes a wave of misinformation. Dairy farmer and agricultural advocate Tara Vander Dussen has seen firsthand how viral food influencers can create confusion about what's actually in our food and more importantly, how it's produced.    Tara's mission? To clear the air. She believes that when consumers understand where their food comes from and how it's produced, they feel more confident in their choices. Instead of listening to misleading claims, she encourages people to turn to real farmers for answers.  For Tara, farming isn't just a profession, it's her way of life. Living just steps from her dairy barn, she shared how her daily routine remains consistent, year-round, to keep her animals healthy and well cared for.  Her story is a testament to the deep connection farmers have with their work, there's no separation between their livelihood and their personal lives. The commitment to caring for their animals and land is a 24/7 responsibility, not just a job they clock into.  Switching gears to peanut farming, Randy the Peanut Farmer reminded us that agriculture isn't just about growing food, it's about preserving a way of life and inspiring the next generation. But with the average age of farmers creeping higher, there's growing concern about who will take up the mantle.  But despite the challenges, Randy remains hopeful. He believes social media can play a role in making farming look fun and inspiring future generations to consider agriculture as a career.  While passion keeps farmers going, sustainability is what will keep agriculture thriving for future generations. Abram Martens, a peanut farmer with a strong focus on soil health and conservation, emphasized the importance of taking care of the land.  Abram highlighted the ways peanut farmers are using new technologies and conservation techniques to improve efficiency while reducing their environmental impact.  This episode is a powerful reminder that agriculture is more than just an industry, it's a deeply personal, passionate, and evolving field. Whether it's Tara fighting food misinformation, Randy encouraging young people to farm, or Abram leading the charge in sustainability, one thing is clear: farmers are committed to feeding the world while preserving the land for future generations.  So the next time you pick up a jar of peanut butter or pour a glass of milk, remember the stories behind your food. And if you're curious about how it all comes together, don't believe everything you see on social media, ask a farmer instead! Catch the full episode of The Peanut Podcast wherever you listen to your podcasts!

Former Vice Chair, Casey Cox Kerr of Mitchell County was elected chairperson of the National Peanut Board, and in 2023 family farms accounted for about 96% of total farms, 90% of ag land, and 83% of the total production value.

In this enlightening episode of the National Peanut Board's The Peanut Podcast, hosts Ashton Pellom and Lauren Highfill Williams explore the cutting-edge intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and agriculture, with a particular focus on how AI could impact the peanut industry. Joining them are two experts in the field: Alina Piddubna, Delivery Director at Intellis, and Dr. Simer Virk, Associate Professor at Auburn University, who share real-world insights into AI's potential to effect farming practices.Alina sets the stage by demystifying AI, emphasizing its practical applications over the "magic" many associate with it. “AI is about empowering farmers to make data-driven decisions,” she explains, citing examples like personalized crop recommendations and IoT sensors that track soil and moisture conditions. These tools, Alina says, help reduce losses and increase yields by providing actionable insights tailored to specific farms. Her message is clear: the key to AI's success lies in building trust and infrastructure to make these technologies accessible.Dr. Simer Virk complements Alina's insights with hands-on examples of AI applications in precision agriculture. One standout? A mobile app called Weed ID, which uses AI to identify weeds through your phone's camera. “It's like having a personal plant detective in your pocket,” Simer quips, adding that similar technologies could one day be adapted to peanut farming. He also highlights projects like using drones for targeted spraying and developing systems to reduce peanut harvesting losses.The episode also dives into the challenges of implementing AI in agriculture, from navigating strict regulations to overcoming farmers' hesitancy to adopt new technologies. Both guests stress the importance of experimentation, urging farmers to start small and see the benefits firsthand. “Big hugs to those brave enough to experiment with modern technology,” says Alina, encouraging listeners to take the leap into innovation.With its blend of expert insights and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the future of agriculture. Whether you're a farmer, tech enthusiastor peanut aficionado, The Peanut Podcast offers a fascinating glimpse into how AI is reshaping the fields—one byte (or bite!) at a time.

In 2012, the National Peanut Board hired Bob Parker to become the Board's second president and CEO. Parker grew up on a peanut farm, worked for Golden Peanut Company and had close to 40 years of experience. While some may have initially been hesitant that a former sheller could have the best interests of farmers at heart, Bob's integrity and strong relationships across sectors showed that he absolutely did. As we approach the end of Bob's 11 year-tenure at NPB, we highlight his key accomplishments and future thoughts, talk to colleagues who have become true friends and share insights into choosing a successor. This episode features interviews with Parker; food allergy advocate Mary Jane Marchisotto; American Peanut Council Vice President and European Marketing Director Louise McKercher; NPB Chairman and Virginia peanut grower Paul Rogers; and executive search consultant Garland West.

Scientists work every day to unlock more value in the staples we've relied upon for literally hundreds of years. We get better, more nutritious food and innovative new uses that meet real market needs, and we get smarter consumers to boot. Our food system does more than ever before to provide a steady stream of information so we can all make better, smarter food decisions.  None of that happens by chance. It takes money and lots of it. It takes work by thousands of researchers all pointed toward finding answers to some of the toughest issues we still wrestle with in our food system. It takes a concerted effort to get the word out to people. But who's in charge of this endeavor? Not the government, not fancy think tanks, not big business or big universities. All those folks play a role in important roles, but we often overlook what hardworking, financially-challenged farmers who drive research and better consumer understanding of our food.  In this episode of Digging In, we're turning to the peanut industry to provide a stellar example of these organizations that work on behalf of its farmers. The National Peanut Board, a research, marketing and promotion organization for peanut farmers in the U.S., is headed up by Bob Parker, current CEO; and Ryan Lepicier, current Chief Marketing Officer and next CEO. Together, Bob & Ryan have worked for more than a dozen years to turn the commitment of peanut producers across the United States into something really, really important to the interests of consumers everywhere. Here's who we're speaking with in this episode: Bob Parker joined the National Peanut Board, a farmer-funded research, marketing and promotion organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, as its president and CEO in 2012. At the National Peanut Board, he has focused on the mission of improving the economic condition of America's peanut farmers and their families. Those efforts have centered around promoting the increased consumption of U.S.-grown peanuts domestically and internationally, addressing barriers to consumption such as peanut allergy and supporting production research to make peanut farmers more productive, efficient and sustainable.  The 2023 peanut crop is the 47th of Parker's professional career, although he has been around peanuts his entire life. He has a broad range of experience in peanuts and agriculture, both domestically and internationally, from growing, processing, public policy and marketing. Parker is a graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in agricultural economics. Ryan Lepicier serves as senior vice president and chief marketing officer at the National Peanut Board with a passion for fueling peanut demand and consumption. He will begin his role as NPB president and CEO on January 1, 2024. He and his team are working to make peanuts the most relevant nut among millennial consumers by ensuring people are thinking about peanuts differently, talking about peanuts positively, engaging with peanuts more often, and buying more peanuts.   Lepicier has a bachelor's degree in journalism and communication from the University of Oregon and an MBA from Auburn University. He likes his peanut butter straight from the jar on a spoon. Crunchy, please.
