Podcast appearances and mentions of pascal baudar

În episodul de azi vorbim cu Beti Pataki despre fermentare. Pornim discuția cu o introducere despre ce înseamnă fermentarea, pe care invitata noastră îl descrie ca o colaborare cu niște micro-organisme pentru a produce o schimbare, o revoluție. Vorbim și despre natura DIY, experimentală și accesibilă a fermentării. În a doua parte analizăm felurile în care capitalismul a format modul în care ne raportăm la producția, conservarea și consumul de hrană. În acest context explorăm fermentarea și foraging-ul ca practici anti-capitaliste. În încheiere, Beti ne oferă câteva rețete accesibile cu care putem începe să experimentăm fiecare. ===== Re(Surse) Katz, S.E.,.

Belgian-born Pascal Baudar describes himself as a culinary alchemist and wild food artist who has a very unique way of looking at environmentalism. Through educating himself about non native and invasive plants he has come to see the world differently. Perhaps we aren't looking at the environmental situation through the correct lens. This conversation will certainly give you a new perspective and perhaps a new path to forge.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are graced by the presence of woodland spirit Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager. Fergus has been gathering and learning about wild plants, seaweeds, and fungi for over 40 years. His journey begun on Wimbledon Common, aged 3 years, collecting dandelions for the family's pet tortoise. Since those early days, and through much creative and experimental exploration he has continued his foraging practice, not only as a means to understand and to discover the practical relevance that foraging has in the modern developed world, but also in terms of what it means to be an environmentally conscious human in relation to the natural world. “Can foraging ever be considered a truly sustainable practice, and if so how?”, is a question that always orchestrates his foraging activity. So too does a pursuit of foraging's playful and creative possibilities. Truth be told, Fergus just loves being outside, admiring nature as part of nature, living in touch with her reassuring seasonal cycles, awake to her sensuality, her surprises, opportunities, and endless gifts, in pursuit of the good life.   TOPICS COVERED:   Trips with Mom to Wimbledon Common   Tortoise Teacher, I Spy Insects   Play, Creativity and Foraging    Brambles, Pine Pollen & Jelly Ears   Foraging “Nose to Tail”   Foraging as a Subversive Act   Life Stacking   Avoiding Neurosis & Being Saved by Others   Reciprocal Dialogue with the Natural World   Developing a Relationship with Local Open Space   Complicity in Industrial Systems   Amanita muscaria Workshops   Amanita muscaria as Food & Medicine   Foraged Books & Making Paper from Mushrooms    EPISODE RESOURCES:   Fergus the Forager Website: https://fergustheforager.co.uk/ Fergus IG: https://www.instagram.com/fergustheforager/ Pine pollen: https://nutrawiki.org/pine-pollen/ Auricularia auricula-judae (AKA Jelly Ear): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auricularia_auricula-judae Plantago major: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantago_major Pascal Baudar: https://www.urbanoutdoorskills.com/ Fergus Henderson (author): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whole_Beast  Jason Hickel (author): https://www.jasonhickel.org/  Katy Bowman: https://www.nutritiousmovement.com/  Fomitopsis betulina (AKA Birch Polypore): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomitopsis_betulina  David Arora article on Amanita muscaria: https://williamrubel.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/rubel_arora_muscaria_economic_botany3.pdf”  Merck Index: https://www.rsc.org/merck-index  Phallus impudicus (AKA Stinkhorn): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus  

Pascal Baudar is a legend in the world of wild foods, constantly advancing the practice of foraging into new and unexplored terrain. While many of us focus on calories or medicinal plants, Pascal is uncovering the terroir hidden in places most of us just don't think to look. Sure, there's been a lot of work done on fermentation in the last decade, but nothing quite like what Pascal has been doing. He marches to the beat of his own drum, and if he's drawing off of other influences, we certainly can't tell. He seems to be inspired from some mysterious, unseen source. Just take a look at his social media, and you'll see things that you just won't find anywhere else. When we set out to start this podcast, we wanted to curate the voices of the most influential characters in the world of wild food. It wouldn't be complete without Pascal. We really enjoyed the interview, because, aside from discussing his new book, and the work he's been doing on vinegars and ferments, we go beyond food and get into the philosophy that underlies the “why” of what he does. Pascal, thanks for all your original and groundbreaking work, and thanks for the reminder about what's really important in life. This interview was an inspiration.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast To honor the release of Pascal Baudar's new book, Wildcrafted Fermentation, I've re-mastered and re-released our conversations about his earlier works. Today, you can listen to our interview about The Wildcrafting Brewer. The episode posted last week covered his first book, The New Wildcrafted Cuisine. Thanks to the great folks at Chelsea Green Publishing, who publish Pascal's three amazing books, I am giving away a copy of Wildcrafted Fermentation through Saturday, March 21st. Giveaway: Wildcrafted Fermentation --- Author, teacher, and forager Pascal Baudar joins me to discuss his exploration of primitive brews and fermentation, the basis for his book The Wildcrafting Brewer. He shares with us the way we can combine local ingredients as flavor,  with water, sugar, and yeast to create sodas, beer, wine, and mead with local flavor and sense of place. If you are familiar with his first book, The New Wildcrafted Cuisine,  then you know his thoughts push the limits of what we might think of when considering what to toss into our brew pot. Taking these methods,  he again takes us in an unexpected direction that goes from the social drinks we might expect, to discuss how we might consider making culinary, healing, or even psychotropic beverages. Find out more about Pascal and his work as a forager and teacher at urbanoutdoorskills.com and his books, including The Wildcrafting Brewer at ChelseaGreen.com. Stepping away from this conversation, though he and I spoke about brewing and making wild-flavored beverages, I'm thinking more generally about how easy it is to complicate and over-analyze our journey and arrive at a place where the results we wish to accomplish gets lost in a  messy process requiring more work than needed. Pascal shows us that with his primitive, or as he also says archaic, brews and how the modern steps, and commercial flavors, limit the range of experiences we create as we scrub and sanitize our pots and fermentation vessels, or leave our brews alone; watched but untouched as the liquid transforms from sugary concoction into alcoholic elixir. How often do we do seek this same sterile approach in our other work, only to find the effort falls flat because of a singular direction and only considering one way? What if we tried more simplicity and creativity in our work as permaculture designers, and in our relationships and initiatives for community building? Can we strip away the unnecessary and arrive and something more concise, clear, whole, productive, and enjoyable? I think so, and the skills of creating wild foods and beverages provide a place where we can safely explore these patterns, before searching for similar details in our other work.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast In this episode co-host David Bilbrey continues to explore the intersection between permaculture, regenerative business, and the paradigm of capitalism by speaking with Alex McIntosh and Mario Garcia of Thrive Natural Care. Together they talk about how a company with a strong ethos can influence their competitors in the marketplace, while still caring for their business partners and customers. Listen to this conversation to learn more about how we can change the system from the inside, by modeling our preferred actions for others. Find out more about the company and products of Thrive at thrivecare.co. Stepping away from this conversation I am left considering the ongoing push-pull between doing what is right and what works for our time and place. As individuals, groups, and organizations interested in the environment and caring for people that often means moving towards an ideal, rather than jumping directly there. We must acknowledge the forces at play, what is beyond our control that limits the viable options, and where we can offer reformatory or revolutionary change. What Alex and Mario are doing with Thrive addresses many of those concerns and pushes towards reforming the giant market that is the skin care industry with a radical approach to supporting their providers, while showing multi-million dollar companies what is possible, particularly at scales orders of magnitude larger than Thrive. I wish Alex, Mario, and the rest of their colleagues best in reaching their goals, and look forward to David having a follow-up conversation with them in a year or so to see how they are doing. What do you think of this conversation? Are you involved in an industry that could use this model to institute change?

Have you ever thought: that is just what the mountains taste like? That is just what the forest or the ocean must taste like? For wildcrafter Pascal Baudar, author of The New Wildcrafted Cuisine and The Wildcrafting Brewer, from Chelsea Green Publishing, what his place tastes like in a specific season is at the heart of his food and garden. Baudar works as a wild-food researcher, wild brewer, and instructor in traditional food preservation techniques. Over the years, through his weekly classes and seminars, he has introduced thousands of home cooks, local chefs, and foodies to the flavors offered by their wild landscapes. In 2014, Baudar was named one of the 25 most influential local tastemakers by Los Angeles Magazine, and in 2017 his instructional programs, taught through Urban Outdoor Skills, were named one of the seven most creative cooking classes in the L.A. region. Pascal Baudar joins Cultivating Place this week. For photos visit cultivatingplace.com. The show is available as a podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher.

Today’s show explores terroir — the flavor of place. Discovering the wild flavors of your local bioregion is a smart and ecologically interactive way to intimately engage with your place and add context to the story of your food. Pascal Baudar — wild food researcher and a self-styled “culinary alchemist” — joins us to share his unique and inspiring niche in the wild food world: wildcrafted terroir. Based in southern California with access to many different ecosystems (mountain, desert, chaparral, and seashore) and 700+ different wildcrafted ingredients, Pascal is a brazen wild food experimenter who combines his knowledge of plants and his local landscape with the innovative techniques of a master food preserver and chef. Pascal was named one of the 25 most influential tastemakers in L.A. by Los Angeles magazine, and his locally sourced wild ingredients and unique preserves have made their way into the kitchens of such star chefs as Ludo Lefebvre, Josiah Citrin, Ari Taymor, Michael Voltaggio, Chris Jacobson and Niki Nakayama. He is the author of The New Wildcrafted Cuisine, an incredible book of culinary concepts and ideas featuring recipes and preservation techniques using a local terroir. Pascal is here to change how we think about wild food. He invites us to experiment with the wild ingredients in our own local bioregion and shares some examples of how he creatively crafts wild cuisine from the landscape he calls home. You’ll hear the wide variety of uses for wild sage, how he makes his own salt and how he uses insects in his wild ferments. Pascal’s work is rooted in love of place, and I hope he inspires you to infuse more local wild terroir into your own wild food plate.

As this latest trip around the sun drew to a close there were many memes and references that 2016 was a year where people would make sure to stay up to midnight just to watch to it die, while looking forward to 2017 being an entirely different, perhaps brighter, year. I don't put much stock in a year being good or bad, as even with all my own ups and downs, a divorce, two moves, and some health issues, I'm quite pleased with what happened over the last 12 months: time spent with my children, dozens of interviews recorded, hundreds of phone calls and emails responded to, people met, and projects launched. Already this new year, 2017 is shaping up to be beautiful. But, there was some big news this year. Out of everything that happened around the globe, perhaps the biggest news for our community as a whole was the loss of two important figures to the movement: one of the founders and one of our best communicators. I speak of course of Bill Mollison and Toby Hemenway. I never knew Bruce Charles “Bill” Mollison, who passed away on September 24, 2016 at the age of 88, but I wouldn't be here without his efforts to popularize the ideas he developed with David Holmgren. Slow to build in the early years, seeing the number of trained practitioners grow from dozens to hundreds throughout the 1980s, and the books rise from a handful to perhaps a dozen, we are now seeing a flourish of activity building upon what Bill started with David more than 40 years ago. When I first came to permaculture nearly two decades ago, Mollinson's The Designers' Manual, the big black book of Permaculture,  was about all we had to go on in the West. Starting in the early 2000s with Gaia's Garden, the number one selling book on permaculture thus far, the roots of this discipline took hold and allowed the rest to flourish. It is with a still heavy heart that I hold the loss of Toby Hemenway, who passed away on December 20, 2016. I had the good fortune to get to know him through correspondence and our interview together . Though Gaia's Garden touched many, it was his second book, The Permaculture City, that continues to hold my thoughts because of the critiques he offered on running away to the countryside, as opposed to being where people are: in our cities. He also throughout those pages encouraged us to focus on our talents and to create systems that account for them, rather than pushing to embrace someone else's example of what to do. To truly design our systems around ourselves. I was looking forward to a follow-up to that book, and was outlining a second interview with Toby when word of his illness reached me. Not long after, he passed. Both Toby and Bill will be missed and I'm thankful for the time they did have to share their thoughts through their writing, interviews, and, thanks to the good fortune of the internet, videos. With the big news from our community, there is the smaller news of this show, which entered it's seventh year in October, 2016. Between guest host David Bilbrey and myself, we produced forty-seven episodes this year. If you are new to the show, or want to check out some highlights, some shows that I recommend include: Mary Reynolds, the Irish author of The Garden Awakening, shared with us a way to reconnect with the stories of a place and to become a guardian of Earth. To listen to the myths and legends of the people and the land to reconnect with what we've lost culturally. Whatever our backgrounds, we come from somewhere and should get to know that where. Steven Martyn, The Sacred Gardener from Canada, reminded me, in a similar way to Mary, for the need to reconnect, by creating a relationship with the land that we are on. For those of us who can look to our ancestors and know that their stories are not those of the land we are on, we can reach back to those who called the ground we walk on home and learn about and from them the wisdoms of the first people, while also being allies to their cause, as continues to happen with the Dakota Access Pipeline protests at Standing Rock. I also think, from Steven's examples, about how many of us are displaced from the places where our stories come from and how we were once all indigenous. Those traditions, stories, and folkways often still exist, we just call them myths, legends, and old wives tales, and can rediscover them by connecting to our families or the land they come from. Moving from the land to our social and economic structures, both of the conversations with Shaun Chamberlin bring his work with David Fleming, and David's legacy, to life. Surviving the Future and Lean Logic, both books on my Best Of for this year, create a connection between the long standing work of permaculture to build in the landscape, and take it a step closer towards meeting the needs of our social and economic systems by addressing the tension we feel between our always on, just-in-time economy, and the slower traditions of community. David's vision, continued by Shaun, is not rooted in some sense of nostalgia, but on the prospect of what the world will be like when energy and employment cease to exist as we know them today. We can slow down and react through an outreach of our gifts throughout our community, which is what Eric Chisler, my dear brother, joined David Bilbrey to share his thoughts on. This subject dear to my heart as the boundaries of permaculture continue to push beyond the roots in the landscape, and Eric shared his own experiences and current efforts with The Emergence Network to create the opportunities the future will require. The interview with Eric meant a lot for me personally because it was recorded just as he and I were preparing to leave Seppi's Place, as that project came to a close. I give thanks for my time with Eric and how our conversations drove me deeper into exploring community and alternative structures as we spent late nights in the kitchen cleaning and preparing food, wrapt in conversations, while listening to heavy metal in the background. A colleauge of Shaun's, whose work he extended in The Transition Timeline, is Rob Hopkins, originator of the of Transition Town movement, joined me shortly after the Brexit vote, while we American's were reaching the zenith of the United States presidential election, to talk about the current state of Transition. During that conversation we also look at some of the critiques of permaculture to accomplish the work that is necessary to create not only permanent human agriculture, but also permanent human culture that can survive the climate crisis that is already upon us, and the looming thread of energy descent. Though we may not talk about these two motives for permaculture, especially as oil prices drop and we adjust to the “new normal” of weather weirding, but the dangers are not going away and soon will come to call. Dr. Talia Fletcher and her family visited me while still living at Seppi's Place. There we got to know one another and discuss a holistic approach to veterinary medicine, which we then turned into a later interview. For those of us practicing permaculture, we have allies among all disciplines, we just need to find them, as demonstrated in the conversation with Dr. Fletcher Just as we can find allies around us, we can also be allies in our communities, as I found from interviewing Robyn Mello, the program director of The Philadelphia Orchard project. After provided an introduction to that project,  Robyn shared her own story about the community choices she's made by living in the inner city of Philadelphia. Having known Robyn a long time, she remains someone whose work I follow to remember what is possible in the urban environment. While others are still formulating and collecting their thoughts, she is actively doing the work through POP and her own life choices, all while living in the fifth largest city in the United States. Ending the retrospective on interveiws a conversation that started the year: Taj Scicluna, the Perma Pixie. In this continuation of the conversation we had at the end of 2015, Taj shared her experiences as a small business permaculture practitioner and what it means to straddle economics and earth care. I'm often reminded that 80 % of business fail in the first year and a half, so it's clear that being an entrepreneur isn't a straight shot at success, and still if we are going to continue to practice permaculture in the world that we find ourselves in, with liberal economic policies focused around market capitalism, there are structures that we can play with in by owning our own labor, or looking to work outside of those systems through structures like the gift economy, and by making changes in our own lives to live with less financial capital, while we build the social and otherwise. Myself, Taj, Shaun Chamberlin, and many others are choosing to live differently. I won't say that it is easy, but each day we can make the shifts that get us closer to where we want to be. It is a long game we are participating in. Industry, capital, and environmental degradation didn't begin overnight and we're not going to solve these problems either. As a mentor of mine used to say, “fast, cheap, or easy: pick two.” Let's make it cheap and easy by going slow. One day, one small act at a time. With these conversations that were all recorded via wire, also check out the group conversations from my trips to Clear Creek , Kentucky; Philadelphia , Pennsylvania; and Baltimore, Maryland. In those you can hear a multitude of voices come together in conversations about community, fellowship, and creating in urban and rural spaces. Live events like these are always fun, and I like going out to meet and speak with folks in person. If you would like to host an in-person recording of The Permaculture Podcast, and are somewhere near the East Coast, let me know. While recapping this best of from the show, I'd like to give a shoutout to Jason Godesky for creating The Fifth World role-playing game. Though it's been awhile since Jason was on the show as a guest, I got to hang out with him and Giuli at the convention Save Against Fear in October of 2016. During our time together I got a chance to play The Fifth World for the first time and in that process they evoked an Animist experience for me within the game when, for a few moments, I had to face the personification of my character's disconnect from  family. It left me shaken for a few moments thanks to the power of the storytelling moment. Whatever your background, be it gamer, storyteller, or an interest in myth, check out TheFifthWorld.com. If you are looking for new books to read, some releases from 2016 I recommend picking up are Lean Logic and Surviving the Future, both edited by Shaun Chamberlin. Rewild or Die by Urban Scout, a persona of Peter Michael Bauer from Rewild Portland, and The New Wildcrafted Cuisine by Pascal Baudar. Lean Logic and Surviving the Future , as mentioned in my interviews with the editor Shaun Chamberlin, fill the gulf between Permaculture and Transition, bridging the landscape and the new culture needed for a bountiful future that acknowledges scarcity and embraces it. Rewild or Die , though a snapshot of a particular moment in time for the rewilding community, is one of the earliest books on Rewilding. I recommend this for everyone interesting in permaculture, rewilding, and the modern primitive skills movement. As someone knowledgeable of permaculture, Peter is able to provide insights on the intersection between the world that arose from agriculture, and what we have to learn from indigenous traditions, all delivered with a bit of snark and sarcasm. On the other side of the spectrum is Pascal Baudar's The New Wildcrafted Cuisine , which takes wild foods and turns them into high culinary fare in a way I've not found elsewhere. Yes, many field books will teach you what to eat and how to make it edible, but Pascal is creating foods that one would want to eat, or even see served in a Michelin rated restaurant. As part of the interview with Pascal, I also appreciate hearing about how many classes and workshops he took in order to learn all that he did to create the book. This is a valuable lesson for all of us to slow down and take our time collecting our experience and understanding our chosen discipline. Looking forward for 2017 and the 7th year of the show, I'm continuing to step into what it means to slow down and take a sabbatical where I reinvest in myself and the podcast. I'll continue to produce new long form interviews, as you're used to, while leaning on friends like David Bilbrey to have other conversations and add unexpected voices to the conversation. Behind the scenes, I've asked by friends at Liminal Collective to take on more of the work that happens when the microphone is off, like social media and the newsletter, so that I can focus on those interviews and The Possibility Handbook . After a long year processing over 1,000 pictures, hours and hours of audio, and generating hundreds of pages of notes, everything is compiled in a way that I can begin writing the book itself. There are, of course, other projects and things we have in the wings for you, but I'm in a place where I'm trusting the process of it all, and will make some announcements as they come together. Throughout everything, my door remains open if you have any questions or would like to talk about anything you heard here, from an episode in the archives, or on a future episode of the show. .

Our topic this week on the podcast is the spectacular foraged cuisine of Southern California based Pascal Baudar. Pascal is the author of The New Wildcrafted Cuisine, Exploring the Exotic Gastronomy of local Terroir. We cover a lot of subjects in the podcast–everything from wild mustards to harvesting sugar from insects! Here’s just a few […]

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast Our guest today is Linda Booth Sweeney co-author, along with Dennis Meadows and Gillian Martin Mehers, of the The Climate Change Playbook.  During the conversation Linda shares with us how we can use games to better understand systems, specifically Climate Change. This is important because of the crisis that the weirding of our atmosphere is causing and our need to communicate this and other issue clearly, in a fun, proactive, and non-threatening way, while wrapping everything within one of the core roots of permaculture: systems thinking. This discussion takes those ideas of climate and systems and helps anyone who is practicing permaculture to speak with more clarity about both. You can find more about Linda at LindaBoothSweeney.com, and The Climate Change Playbook at ChelseaGreen.com. Patreon supporters, I'm giving away a copy of this book to one of you. You'll find the details on the member page, and if you decide to buy a copy, be sure to use your discount code to save 25%. Games are a fun and upbeat way to play, and as we heard from Linda, also to learn, and in her book has provided us a way to do so with only a handful of props and a little bit of time. As a longtime gamer myself, I've come to understand that play and the space created can allow you to safely try your hand at storytelling, diplomacy, conflict resolution, to deepen your emotional intelligence, your understanding of mathematics or game theory, and so much more. That we can apply that same play to bigger issues, whether around a table or filling an auditorium, is a new way to reach out to and talk to people about climate change, and The Climate Change Playbook provides a place for us to use games developed by others to begin this process, and in turn to create new games to include in our permaculture classes. When it comes to permaculture, are there already games that you use to teach these concepts? Do you already have a copy of The Climate Change Playbook? What games do you like from it? As a parent do you have a copy of the Wildcraft boardgame? Whatever way you are bringing play into your practice, I'd love to hear from you. .
