Dr. Steve Meyer, Partners for Production Agriculture, updates us on the pork markets and the industry continues to react to pricing and regulatory issues.

In today's interview, we explore the world of food production, agriculture, and land use, with a focus on their environmental and health impacts. Throughout history, wild habitats have given way to agricultural land, which now accounts for half of the world's habitable land. This shift has led to a reduction in wilderness, posing a threat to biodiversity. Agriculture plays a crucial role in feeding our growing population, but it also has significant consequences. Food production has a profound impact on the environment. It contributes to water use and pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, depletion of natural resources, and soil erosion. Industrial agriculture, in particular, harms the environment through air, soil, and water pollution. Livestock operations alone are responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Pesticides and other toxins used in food production not only harm the environment but also pose health risks, including cancer and neurological disorders. The health impacts of food production are substantial as well. The use of pesticides and overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture can lead to serious health problems, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, ensuring access to safe and nutritious food becomes increasingly challenging. Food production will need to increase by over 50% to meet demand. Understanding our complex food system is crucial. Each of us has a role to play in this system, and our choices impact its functioning.

Although fundamental to our lives, food production and agriculture often go unnoticed in our daily conversations. It's time to shed light on the intricate processes and decisions involved in bringing food from the farm to our plates. Understanding why these topics matter to each of us is essential. Food production, agriculture, and land use have far-reaching consequences for our well-being and the ecosystems we rely on. In this episode, we delve into these critical topics to explore their complexities and discuss the hope for a more sustainable future. While agricultural advancements have increased crop yields and meat production, they have also caused ecological and environmental damage. Issues such as global warming, aquifer depletion, deforestation, and antibiotic resistance demand our attention. Our choices in food production and land use have a direct impact on our health and the planet. Sid Miller, Commissioner of the Texas Department of Agriculture talks with Host Bernice Butler and helps us explore and understand all this a lot more. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/healthy-radio/support

Current Issues & Challenges affecting how we get healthy, accessible (affordable &available) food while protecting our environment that has to produce the food. For much of human history, most of the world's land was wilderness. But, for the last few centuries, wild habitats have been squeezed out by turning it into agricultural land which supports our food production system. Agriculture is a major use of land. That is the necessary growth of our worlds food sources, plants and animals and their cultivation in order to get to our tables, nourish our bodies and soothe our souls. Half of the world's habitable land is used for agriculture. This leaves only 37% for forests; 11% as shrubs and grasslands; 1% as freshwater coverage; and the remaining 1% a much smaller share than many suspect is built up urban area which includes cities, towns, villages, roads and other human infrastructure. The extensiveness of the agricultural use of our land has a major impact on the earth's environment as it reduces wilderness and threatens diversity of all living things upon the earth as it continues to sustain pressure for more production of food and meat. And, Food has become a prominent focus of US public health policy. The emphasis has been almost exclusively on what Americans eat, I think we are all getting it;, that we are what we eat, food as medicine eat healthy to avoid disease and have better health detection scores. not what is grown or how it is grown. And thus we see why we need to know, and understand, our complicated food system to which each of us in an integral and important member it affect you, you impact it. To help us explore this issue are Ryan Nebeker, Research and Policy Analyst for Food Print and an alum of the Tufts University Nutrition Science program and Sara Garcia, PhD, Project Scientist at the UC Davis Western Institute for Food Safety and Security. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

Production Agriculture, at the commodity level, favors the low cost producer. So where can costs be shaved? Mitch Eviston asked that very question. His answer: through reducing redundancies in the channel — from manufacturer to distribution to retail to, eventually the farm. Call it the Amazon effect of Ag inputs — Mitch and his company, Meristem, believe it is imminent. Beyond the cost savings, a goal for the company is to increase customer convenience. We discuss this and where we might see more channel-free marketing in Ag. Sponsored by Harvest Profit harvestprofit.com
