Perennials Plant Once, Harvest for Life | Episode 601 Growing food is one of the most important survival skills you can develop. A garden can feed your family, give you independence, and reduce your reliance on fragile supply chains. But let's be honest — gardens can also be a lot of work. Planting every year, maintaining beds, watering, fertilizing, harvesting. It takes time and effort. So what if you could plant something once and harvest from it for years or even decades? Today we're talking about perennials you plant once and harvest for life. Fruit Trees: Long-Term Food Security Fruit trees are one of the best investments you can make in a long-term food system. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries — once established they can produce food for decades with relatively little maintenance. The key advice here is simple: grow what you actually like to eat. If you love apples, plant apples. If you love peaches, plant peaches. But there's another opportunity here that many people overlook. Instead of growing the same varieties you see in grocery stores, grow unusual or specialty varieties. There are thousands of apple varieties alone. Some have unique flavors, unusual colors, or striking appearances. Things like pink-fleshed apples or deep purple varieties can stand out in farmers markets and command a higher price. If you’re going to plant trees that will produce for decades, you might as well plant something interesting. Avoid Monocropping Another reason to grow multiple varieties is resilience. If you plant twenty identical apple trees and a pest or disease hits that specific variety, you could lose your entire orchard. By planting different varieties, you reduce the risk and increase the overall resilience of your system. It also extends your harvest window since different varieties ripen at different times. Berry Bushes: Easy Perennial Calories Berry bushes are another excellent perennial food source. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries can produce fruit year after year once established. Many of them spread naturally and become even more productive over time. They're also easy to harvest and can fit into small spaces. Some berry bushes can even serve as natural barriers. Thorny plants like blackberries and raspberries can help deter animals or even people from wandering through certain areas. That means your food production can also double as a defensive landscape feature. Asparagus: A Perennial Vegetable Most vegetables are annuals, meaning you have to plant them every year. Asparagus is one of the rare exceptions. Once established, an asparagus patch can produce for 15–20 years or more. It takes a few years to get going, but once it does, it comes back every spring and keeps producing. It's one of the best “plant once, harvest for years” foods you can grow. Rhubarb and Perennial Herbs Rhubarb is another tough perennial plant that comes back year after year. It produces large stalks that can be used in pies, jams, and preserves. It's cold-tolerant and very hardy, making it a good option in many climates. Herbs are another category that often comes back year after year. Plants like mint, oregano, thyme, chives, and rosemary can continue growing season after season with minimal effort. Growing herbs at home saves money and keeps fresh flavor available anytime you need it. Instead of buying a bunch of herbs and letting half of it rot in the refrigerator, you can simply step outside and cut what you need. Nut Trees: High-Calorie Survival Food Finally, we have nut trees. Pecans, walnuts, and chestnuts produce calorie-dense foods that can feed people for generations. Nuts contain healthy fats and protein — things that can be harder to obtain in survival situations. Unlike annual crops, these trees can produce for decades or even longer, making them an excellent long-term investment for a food-producing landscape. Chestnuts are particularly interesting historically. The American chestnut once dominated forests across the eastern United States before blight nearly wiped it out. Today people are working to restore blight-resistant varieties, while Chinese chestnuts remain widely available and productive. Building a Perennial Food System The biggest takeaway from today's episode is simple. Annual gardens are great, but perennial food systems are powerful. Plant trees. Plant berry bushes. Plant herbs that come back every year. Add asparagus, rhubarb, and nut trees. These plants reduce your workload while increasing long-term food production. And the sooner you plant them, the sooner they start producing. Because when it comes to perennial food systems, the best time to plant them was yesterday. The second best time is today.

A Texas pecan farmer spent years rethinking whether he needed so many chemicals to grow food. He cut back on things like weedkillers, but when it came to ditching insecticides, crop pests posed a challenge. That's what brought him together with a famous bat scientist — who helped him build an insect-eating army of bats.

The Benefits of Recycling Wind TurbinesWhile wind energy is renewable and non-polluting, the wind turbines themselves can create pollution problems. Now, scientists are creating wind turbines that can be made with less energy, but also create less waste because they can be recycled. This, of course, reduces impacts on the waste stream and provides a sustainable alternative to current wind turbines that are often extremely hard to recycle. Moreover, the new material requires less energy to create and mold into the desired output, subsequently reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions.Making Wind Turbines with Recyclable ResinNot surprisingly, even renewable energy resources also have environmental costs. For instance, when the life of a wind turbine ends (after about 20 years), it ends up in landfills. Moreover, as more wind farms are built and older turbines are taken out of usage, the waste burden is significant. Most resins also used in wind turbines require many nonrenewable resources and a lot of energy to produce. In addition, they do not easily degrade.This is why researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) started developing turbines from recyclable resin. They call the resin PECAN, and it is created with “bio-derivable resources” like sugars as opposed to the type of resin that has traditionally been used, which is not bio-derived and extremely hard to upcycle. Specifically, when the wind blades are unusable they are shredded to be used as “concrete filling”, which never biodegrades, while turbines made of recyclable resin can chemically break down within 6 hours.Benefits of Recyclable Resin Not only can PECAN withstand harsh weather, but it does not deform over time. Additionally, once the resin undergoes a chemical process called “methanolysis” it only takes 6 hours for the original carbon and glass to be recovered to be recycled. Moreover, the catalyst to harden the resin is also recovered and this means that it is possible for it to be used again (creating a circular waste stream). Moreover, PECAN produces “40% less greenhouse gas emissions and 30% less energy to make”.Challenges of Implementation There is a general lack of awareness of solutions like PECAN which strive to make our waste stream more circular, and without that awareness, it would not be able to make the large positive impact that it is capable of making. This is also one of the reasons why right now, wind turbines made out of recyclable resin proves to be more expensive, as there is not enough of a demand for it yet.Ryan Clarke believes that creating wind turbines from naturally occurring resources like sugars can be extremely helpful in waste reduction. Additionally, he emphasizes that larger deployment of this technology and increased awareness can lead to major cost savings in the long run. About Our GuestRyan Clarke studied materials science and became a postdoctoral researcher for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where he was the study's lead author. Now, he works at Hexion Inc. as a R&D material scientist.ResourcesreNews, NREL Develops Recyclable Resin for Wind BladesENERGY THEORY, NREL Develops Wind Turbine Blades From Recyclable ResinEnvironment + Energy Leader, NREL's Breakthrough in Renewable, Recyclable Wind EnergyFurther ReadingResearch Gate, A Recyclable Epoxy for Composite Wind Turbine BladesNEW ATLAS, Fast-Dissolving Bio Resin Could Drive Recycling of Wind Turbine BladesFor a transcript, please visit: https://climatebreak.org/recyclable-resin-for-wind-turbines-with-ryan-clarke/

Discontentment may try to arise as you begin this year's holiday celebrations, but let's aim to cultivate thankfulness. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses five ways we can practice gratitude this Thanksgiving season in obedience to God and His Word. He shares biblical methods of expressing gratitude to God, fostering thankfulness for the blessings in our lives, repenting of ungratefulness, being thankful in spite of the hardships we face, and living humbly in service and generosity to those around us. The discipline of a grateful attitude instead of a grumbling one will bless us this holiday season.  

Gary & Shannon kick off the hour with a recap of the wild Monday Night Football turnovers, overtime chaos, and Shannon reporting live from the SoFi sidelines as the Chargers pull off a dramatic OT win. They dive into Justin Herbert’s toughness, Jalen Hurts’ nightmare game, and Phillip Rivers training for a possible comeback at 44.Then Shannon relives her now-legendary, extremely awkward Billy Crystal moment (“PeCaN Pie!”) and talks about the glamorous life of… getting rejected on the sidelines.From there it’s cosmic panic and courtroom drama: 3I/ATLAS is making its closest approach to Earth, Ghislaine Maxwell evidence is set to drop, and Australia is about to shut down social media for kids under 16 — sparking a global culture war over whether it’ll save children or just enrage them.Gary & Shannon wrap the hour with a new study linking endless scrolling to ADHD-like symptoms, and the uncomfortable truth that social media hasn’t made us more connected… just permanently reachable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dive into America's "lopsided outrage economy". Following the viral incident where a Cinnabon employee in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, Crystal Wilsey, was fired for confronting Somali customers with racial slurs and mocking a hijab, Lionel and callers debate the disproportionality of the public response. They explore the deeper political and cultural currents—the fear of "losing control of my country and my culture"—and the sense that some incoming groups seek to replace American values rather than assimilate.

Ep 238 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into Jeff Bezos' role in the beef industry, the end of a 200-year-old publication, and why your FFA jacket just became a fashion statement. The hosts tackle viral claims about methane-reducing feed additives for cattle, separating Bill Gates' investments from Bezos' initiatives. They discuss the Bovaer controversy in Denmark where farmers are now required to use methane-reducing supplements, and explore the tension between environmental responsibility and farmer autonomy. Plus, the Farmer's Almanac is publishing its final edition after 206 years, FFA jackets have become the hottest vintage fashion item, and the hosts reveal why your Costco pecans are at least a year old. Stick around for a disco debrief on the first documented US death from Alpha-Gal Syndrome (the tick-borne meat allergy), plus a deep dive into the pecan supply chain. Spoiler: the US grows 80% of the world's pecans, but we ship them to Mexico to be shelled, then import them back. The food supply chain is wild, and the hosts break down why "fresh" is complicated. What We Discovered This Week

This culinary nut is a staple the Southern U.S. — and has been since way before such a thing existed. In this classic episode, Anney and Lauren break open the history and cultures behind pecans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In “Texas Pecans, A Thirsty Nut to Crack,” Gravy producer Avery Thompson explores how a changing climate is impacting pecans in Texas, and introduces listeners to the innovative Texans using both age-old techniques and twenty-first-century adaptations to ensure Texas pecans make it to the grocery shelves—and into a Thanksgiving pie near you. For about as long as there have been humans in what we now know as Texas, they have likely found sustenance in the land's native pecans. For many years, Texas supplied the world with the bulk of its pecans—but in recent years, the state has seen unprecedented heat waves and droughts, which have stressed not only its residents, but one of its most vital and revered crops. Exacerbating the climate problem is an explosion in population across the state, particularly in central Texas, where urban sprawl from the growing cities of Austin and San Antonio not only puts pressure on the water table, but also offers a tempting cash-out for struggling pecan farmers. Between drought-affected trees and the sale of farms, Texas is seeing a statewide decline in annual pecan yields. And climate scientists predict that these rough recent years are likely not an exception, but a new normal. Still, Texans are finding creative ways to adapt and preserve their trees and a way of life. For this episode, Thompson talks to pecan growers, including Troy Swift of Swift River Pecans, who has turned to regenerative agriculture and biodiversity. She also speaks to Mark Walls of 38 Pecans, who has invented creative new pecan products to boost his business. Jennifer Wammack of Berdolls, a commercial bakery, tells how her family ships pies all over the world and distributes them through vending machines. And Thompson also visits the Lamar Senior Center in Austin, one of the last remaining nut-cracking facilities open to the public, where people come after gathering pecans on their own property each autumn. Hopefully, for many holidays to come, we can all enjoy a big slice of Texas's state dessert. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
