A Shot in the Arm Podcast is proud to bring you another installment of Global Health Diplomats! In this compelling episode, co-hosts Ben Plumley and Eric Goosby dive deep into the future trajectory of the global HIV response. Following World AIDS Day, the discussion spans a 38,000-foot view of where the HIV epidemic stands, its critical challenges, and the evolving strategies needed for a sustainable, long-term response. From the impact of geopolitical shifts on access to treatment and care to the integration of HIV programs with broader primary healthcare systems, this episode unpacks the most pressing issues in global health today. Key Highlights: HIV Goals for 2030: Reality Check Are we close to ending AIDS as a public health crisis? Dr. Eric Goosby reflects on the progress made and the significant hurdles ahead. Quote: "We've built breathtaking infrastructure over 25 years, but it's clear we won't cross the 2030 finish line without major shifts." (Eric Goosby, 00:01:24) The Role of Targets in the HIV Response Are political targets still relevant in today's complex world? Ben and Eric debate the pros and cons of target-driven approaches in global health. Quote: "Targets have driven investment and expanded care, but we may need to rethink them in light of new challenges." (Eric Goosby, 00:05:26) Primary Care Integration Why the HIV response must pivot toward integrated primary healthcare to address non-communicable diseases and pandemic preparedness. Quote: "For people living with HIV, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and cancer are now the bigger threats. Primary care is key." (Eric Goosby, 00:07:46) The Geopolitical Impact on HIV Care Rising anti-rights movements and geopolitical challenges make it harder to bring marginalized populations into care. Quote: "The rights-based approach to care is under siege globally, making access for key populations even tougher." (Ben Plumley, 00:10:04) Funding Sustainability Beyond 2030 Exploring innovative funding mechanisms, domestic ownership, and the evolving role of multilateral agencies like the Global Fund. Quote: "Transitioning to country-driven funding is essential. It's time for governments to take ownership." (Eric Goosby, 00:30:01) HIV Prevention's Urgent Need for Innovation Despite treatment advancements, global prevention efforts lag behind, especially for at-risk populations. Quote: "Prevention needs to focus on behavior, access, and new technologies like PrEP for real impact." (Eric Goosby, 00:37:26) Upcoming Episodes in the Series: Rights-Based Approaches in HIV Care Funding the Future: Domestic Resource Mobilization for HIV Programs Prevention Innovation: From Behavioral Change to Biomedical Solutions Reimagining Global Health Architecture Post-2030 Acknowledgments: This podcast is made possible by the generous support of the John T.

In today's episode, Gina finishes her discussion of the important link between anxiety and eating disorders. Anxiety can be a risk factor for developing eating disorders as eating disorders can develop as a coping mechanism to anxiety. Both conditions can reinforce each other, creating a cycle.

Control over food provides a brief sense of calm, while anxiety continues to fuel the disordered behavior. -Carolyn Costin Chapters 0:23 Introduction to Anxiety and Eating 3:08 The Role of Control in Anxiety 6:31 Understanding the Cycle of Anxiety and Eating Disorders 10:42 Breaking the Cycle of Disordered Eating 12:14 Strategies for Managing Stress and Eating 18:03 Mindful Eating Practices 19:09 Conclusion and Reflection Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve deeper into the intersection of worry and food in the second part of "When Worry Meets Food." Continuing from our previous discussion, I explore how anxiety and disordered eating are intertwined, affecting many individuals in profound ways. We previously discussed specific manifestations of anxiety that relate to food, including fears surrounding body image, social eating anxieties, and obsessive thoughts about diets. It's crucial to recognize that anxiety can act as a risk factor for developing eating disorders, and I invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences if they find anxiety frequently landing around food. Throughout our conversation, I emphasize that individuals often channel their anxiety into eating behaviors to cope with intense emotions. The discussion highlights that whether someone restricts their food intake or engages in binge eating, both behaviors can serve a common purpose: to gain a sense of control in a chaotic emotional landscape. I draw attention to how individuals might use strict dietary rules as a temporary refuge from feelings of anxiety, reinforcing disordered patterns without realizing the long-term consequences. I further explore themes of control and predictability, which anxiety-stricken individuals often crave. A rigid approach to eating can provide a false sense of security, albeit one that ultimately complicates their relationship with food and self-worth. Perfectionism is a recurring theme in our conversation as well, where I discuss how striving for an ideal body or diet amplifies feelings of inadequacy and intensifies the cycle of disordered eating behaviors.

Some are only Sunday Christians whiles in church and when others are watching or around but everything they do outside or privately only glories & imitates the devil, his works, nature & personality. Be truly born again in Jesus Christ wholly & fully , His Word and Spirit. Walking & living as a Christian must be an everyday habits, sacrifice , intimacy, lifestyle, commitment, identity & nature in fulfilling all righteousness or you are simply HIM WHO DOESN'T KNOW GOD. Daily Psalm's Quote: Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. (Psalm 51:11 kjv) Daily Proverb's Quote: The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous - (Proverbs 15 :29 kjv). Daily Jesus's Quote: For many are called, but few are chosen. - (Matthew 22: 14 kjv). ✨✨✨⭐⭐⭐✨✨⭐⭐✨✨ For Partnership, Sponsorship & Enquiries regarding this Ministry, kindly contact Pastor Mike S.Banda of GLORIOUS TRINITY SYNAGOGUE (G.T.S), Accra, Ghana on +233266450929 / +233247546302 (whatapp) or dailystardevotion@gmail.com. ✨✨✨⭐⭐⭐✨✨⭐⭐. # DAILY STAR DEVOTION: with Jesus Christ, everyday, you are a STAR⭐. #You are a LIVING STAR ✨. #You are a GLORIOUS STAR

Today's Daily Star Devotional scripture which is taken from 1 SAMUEL 9 :1-16 kjv. Saul became a king after going to look for his father's lost donkeys for days which was master minded and done by God entirely . David gained capacity, tenacity & confidence upon shepherding and staying in the wilderness before defeating Goliath & to be known and king later on. Joseph underwear many troubles which God was the architect behind it fo his future. Please , not all that you are going or gone through are of the devil, from your past sins or bad lack but are sometimes of God, preparing you for a better and fulfilling futures because some of God's drawings for next level & destiny are strange, dangerous paths , full of enemies, tears , mockers , battles, mockeries , belittlement, injustice etc . Some of God's drawings are strange, looks wrong, like death traps etc but are rather the good path to your blessings, miracles, breakthrough, next level, fulfillment of destiny, future etc so don't be discouraged, down, faithless , hopeless because God has a very beautiful and bright future for you.

In today's episode, Gina discusses how the brain reacts to threats and how we can use this knowledge to enhance our resilience. Threats in our environment activate the amygdala which in turn actives our bodily fight or flight response. This can include a hormonal cascade that will enhance our ability to run away from or fight against a threat. Typically, the amygdala overestimates the danger and we are left anxious and upset.

Quote: “For me, as a neutral and independent mediator, it's really about helping the two parties to listen and understand each other because they're not able to achieve that directly. They've ended up in a deadlock.” Avinder Laroya We have all experienced conflict at some point in our lives, whether it was at work, at home or with a friend. When we're in that space, we often think with emotion rather than logic, and things can easily escalate to become a much larger issue. When this happens in the workplace, we may need some help to work through the issue(s).

It's titled Hold the meat: Burger King, Chipotle, Starbucks top fast-food rankings on World Vegan Day 2021 by Steve Kiggins. It appeared on the USA Today site. Here are some quotes. “Only seven chains were designated as ‘Menu Movers,' the report card's top ranking: Burger King (QSR), Chipotle (CMG), Starbucks (SBUX ), KFC (YUM), Panera Bread (PNRA), Pizza Hut (YUM) and Taco Bell (YUM). Thirty-nine of the country's top 50 fast-food restaurants received the lowest ranking as ‘Dining Dawdlers' – including McDonald's, Subway and Chick-fil-A. The 'Moving the Menu' report was produced by World Animal Protection, which advocates eating less meat as part of its mission to ‘change animals' lives for the better.' Cameron Harsh, programs director for the nonprofit animal welfare organization, described the 24-page report as a guide to help ‘individual consumers align with the restaurants that share their values…' ‘What the ‘Menu Movers' in this report have done is not just added plant-based alternatives to their menus and called it good, they've actually talked publicly … about the benefits of these products,' Harsh told USA TODAY… The World Animal Protection list of ‘Dining Dawdlers' also includes Arby's, Dairy Queen, Domino's, Dunkin,' Panda Express and Wendy's. The message for those straggling chains, Harsh said, is to recognize the plant-based movement as an ‘important and necessary direction' for the sustainability of the planet – and for their bottom line.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Mutual Funds to Rally on Cleantech Boom Now found on Yahoo.com is this fine article titled 4 Mutual Funds to Rally on Cleantech Boom and written by the highly reputable Zacks Equity Research team.

Welcome to our segment to expand on the quotes featured in The Black Foster Youth Handbook: 50+ Lessons I learned to successfully age-out of foster care and holistically heal I am your host, Ángela Quijada-Banks & so excited you've decided to join the journey toward Soulful Liberation! Today's Quote: "For as long as I am Black...I am historic. I do not need a month...I exist for a lifetime." -Karl Burrow Foster Care is a whole other world that most of the world's population knows little to nothing about. Many people do not know the very low statistics young people endure in order to successfully age-out of foster care. Less than 5% of young people with the experience of foster care graduate post-secondary education. There are many youth who become prey to sex-trafficking or susceptible to suicide due to homelessness, mental health challenges and no support system. Now, couple the child welfare system with the element of racial injustices and the history of white supremacy and the topic may even become taboo. Ángela Quijada-Banks, a woman of African and Indigenous descent has taken the liberty of giving back to these communities for a half a decade through advocacy, advisory and organizational training. Through her travels across the nation, speaking to congressional members, federal stakeholders and constituents of the foster care system she decided some sort of manual was needed to combat the shocking low success rates of young people with the background of foster care. This handbook is written to be supplemental to young people in foster care's navigation through foster care and healing beyond it. Supportive adults such as foster/resource parents, case managers, GALs, therapists and social workers will also find this to be helpful in their roles in young people's lives. Success is possible regardless of where you come from, you just have to know where to look, who to trust and believe in the one person that can get you to the other side of pain and trauma, you.

Good morning my sisters and brothers, Happy and Blessed Easter and may you experience the Resurrection of Jesus in your very own heart and soul. Our podcast song is, ‘JESUS Lives'. This song was written while on my 15 year mission. It was while living in Pittsfield, N. H. I was a music minister there at our Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, and wrote this with my guitar, for Easter morning. My folk group and I went over it during the beginning part of Holy Week, and also just before Mass started on Easter morning. We sang it there for the Easter morning entrance and again at the end of Mass. They were absolutely great and they sang it so beautifully. Unfortunately, that year there was also our last year together, for we moved on to continue on our journey. In the churches that I ministered in music, while on my mission, this song was always my Easter morning song, bringing all Glory, Honor and Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ! This song came alive as I pondered on our Blessed Mary, and how she must have been so joyful to see her risen Son conquered death and darkness, and rule in Majesty! Then thoughts of the Resurrection of Jesus filled my soul with so much joy, and to know that He will raise us also, if we believe in Him. Wow, in the Gospel of John 6:40, Jesus himself tells us: Quote: “For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him [on] the last day.” Unquote. This is the promise Jesus made to us!

Quote: “For a new year to bring you something new, make a move, like a butterfly tearing it’s cocoon” Mehmet Murat Ildan On this episode, I am going solo as Danny enjoys some well-deserved time off. I share some of my top 5 new year resolutions as we begin 2021. Where do you start? I recommend reflecting first on the year you had and survived is so important. You are already so amazingly resilient and we are tapping into this as we reflect and plan for 2021. What should you reflect on? Think about what would you want to continue to do, do more of or do differently. Here is some inspiration from my plans for 2021: Starting with do differently: 1. I want to take more breaks from work even if I am just staying at home that’s okay. I found myself in 2020 feeling like I should be so grateful for the work I had to support others and I kept going. Guess how that turned out? Very tired and not sustainable. I know it will take a while to get over the fatigue I am feeling so I plan to take some days off every 6 weeks for the first 5 months and I will reassess after that. That for me means no clients and no answering emails. Do more of: 2. Exercise. For me exercise is an essential for my physical and mental wellbeing. As someone who has suffered from mental health issues in the past and who lives with chronic pain I cannot afford not to. However, like most of us I did not do this enough. I am committing to moving every day and going to the gym 3 times a week. 3. Travel, even if it only by car and visiting local destinations. Especially being by the beach is my happy place and I need to prioritise doing more of this for my wellbeing. Combining this with catching up with special and dear friends is also a double bonus. We know how important it is to connect with those that you love. Continue to do: 4. Mediate daily - I discovered meditation when I was at University but I always struggled with it. It was only when I accepted the struggle and made it work for me that I found the love for meditation. By that I mean, if I was listening to a meditation and I wanted to stop I did. I started with only a few minutes and I now practice for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. Starting each day with this is what keeps me centered. It is what gives me clarity and calm. 5. Connect with gratitude. I love to do this after meditating but anytime of the day is great too. What are you grateful for? Focusing on this lifts my emotions. Shout out to Danny Blackford, on leave at the moment. I am very grateful for you being my partner on this podcast and even during the challenging times always making me smile. He is not afraid to say no and that is something I would like to do more of too! Thanks Danny. I hope this episode has inspired you to prioritise what matters to you, to take care of yourself. Be kind to yourself and remember that change is not easy. When you create your list, focus on one area at a time. Remember that relapse is normal. You are not failing as that is part of creating change. Do the things that support your wellbeing your happiness. Best wishes and stay safe everyone.

Shep Hyken interviews Mike Grande, the founder and CEO of Rock Out Loud and The Staten Island School of Rock. They discuss Mike’s successful philosophies of providing an outstanding experience to his customers. The Interview with Mike Grande:Focus on a simple growth philosophy: to grow your business one customer at a time. If you do your job right, you will earn loyalty and then your customers will help your business grow by recommending your business to friends and family.Know the real purpose of your business and how it can impact your customers. To Mike, music is secondary at his school. He and his fellow teachers—called “coaches”—focus on creating leaders and building self-confidence in their students using music as a tool.Change the customer’s state of mind—break the customer’s preoccupation when they walk through your door or call you. For example, whenever Mike’s students enter one of his schools, a motion detector triggers a crowd chant to pump them up and prepare them for a stellar lesson. Prime your customers in a similar way to ensure their interaction with you is the best it can be.Personalization is a vitally important concept in business. Consider giving your customers personalized gifts to show appreciation for their loyalty. Don’t brand the gifts or turn them into a sales ploy; this is an opportunity to insert some humanity into a service interaction. Have the mindset of “this gift is the least I can do for a loyal customer.”It’s crucial for everyone you work with to be on the same page when it comes to your mission statement. Everyone must be in alignment with the vision of the company, and there needs to be total buy-in from all employees. This comes from creating, cultivating, and defending your company culture.Quote: “For the leader of an organization to be truly successful, you must know your ‘why’ and your mission.” – Mike Grande About: Mike Grande is the founder and CEO of The Staten Island School of Rock and Rock Out Loud.

This is the World Organic News for the week ending the 28th of January 2019. Jon Moore reporting! Decarbonise the air, recarbonise the soil! A little housekeeping. Some of you have noticed the website is still down. I’m still in discussions with my host about appropriate levels of performance and hope it will be back up soon. In the meantime I’m posting things to the Facebook page if you’re interested. And now to the show. From the site Civil Eats come a piece entitled: Silvopasture Can Mitigate Climate Change. Will U.S. Farmers Take it Seriously? A fair question! Quote: Steve Gabriel curls back a bit of flimsy net fencing and shakes a plastic bucket of alfalfa pellets. Immediately, a sweet-faced, short-fleeced mob of some 50 Katahdin sheep pull away from a line of young black locust trees on whose leaves they’ve been snacking and swarm around him. The sheep race after Gabriel as he strides across nibbled grass and out from the fencing, around a dirt path’s shallow curve, and into a shadier, overgrown pasture dotted with long standing black walnut and hawthorn trees. End Quote A sweet image and one that can be replicated across much of the world. It does require a mindset shift from those on the ground. Not the easiest of things but it is the people on the ground who can see the changes occurring as I write then read this. There’s serious fires to the south of us here in Highclere. Emergency evacuations, watch and act alerts and very little sign of rain. Two days ago it was predicted we would receive between 20 - 40mm on Wednesday. Today, Monday, that forcast is now down to 1 - 5mm. I’ve seen this pattern too many times in my life. Rain forecast, clouds arriving and then nothing!. We’re fortunate here. We have a very small holding, 1.5 acres and a permanent bore. We can de-stock, focus on the vegetables and get through this. If this is not the new normal. Those on the ground see, I think we can all agree on that. It is the properties with multi-generational occupation with rainfall and temperature records that prove most useful. From small grape growers to corporate types the harvest dates, temperature at harvest and annual rainfall records all form part of their business IP. Those in the southern parts of the Australian mainland are and have been buying land in the southern island state of Tasmania. It is cooler here. Whilst the mainland has been under 40+ degrees celsius for most of January, our part has hit 30 once or twice. The southern parts of Tassie have hit the hit 30s and that’s where the fires are. So we have a dilemma. The rising temperatures and falling rainfall are a consequence of climate change. Silvo pasture as one variation of regenerative agriculture provides a solution in some cases. The nature of silvopasture is that it includes trees, obviously. Trees are a worry in bushfires. Now there are ways around this. Tagasaste is a species which is fire resistant as is, I believe, saltbush. There are ways around these things. Back to the piece sited: Quote Gabriel (the person in the above quote) is an agroforestry specialist at Cornell University’s Small Farms Program. He’s also the author of the book on silvopasture, a farming technique that’s touted as a way to sequester carbon by growing trees in livestock pastures. End Quote. Gabriel himself runs a 35 acre farm. He rotates meat sheep across once fields. Some of these have black locusts planted on them for feed, shade and nitrogen. These black locusts sequester between 1 and 4 tons of carbon per acre per year. It’s taken five years to convert the place from ru down to productive with huge improvement in soil organic matter and soil biology. All the work has been done by the animals. This is the bit I like, let the stock do the “work” for you by doing what they evolved to do. Stock go to the feed, they manure the ground and move on. The alternative, CAFOs, feedlots, chick and pig sheds bring the feed to the animals and take, eventually, the manures from the animals. All at the cost of fossil fuels. The differences are obvious. I understand that debt levels will affect decisions in on farm management. I also understand that not everywhere on the planet can stock be outdoors all year. These cases can be opportunities to collect organic matter but again the way is the most important. Slurry tanks and aerial spreading are not good, in a carbon sense, but are technologies worked out and powered by diesel. You can see the pattern. Everytime a technique is powered by a fossil fuel, it reduces the need for people and pumps carbon into the atmosphere. Silvopasture offers some opportunities dependant upon the landscape, the climate and the preferences of the farmer. To give you some idea of the wider range of possibilities for silvopasture, the piece goes on: Quote: For example, 14 miles south of the Gabriel farm, the 69-acre Good Life Farm has had success with a peach and apple orchard grazed by beef cattle and poultry, supported by salad crops. About 180 miles east, in Valley Falls, New York, first generation farmers Dustin and Kassie Gibson have converted 20 acres of what Kassie calls “useless woodland” to silvopasture that supports beef cattle and hogs, thereby expanding the number of animals they’re able to support on their 70 total acres. End Quote Now we come to piece from Inside Climate News entitled: Industrial Agriculture, an Extraction Industry Like Fossil Fuels, a Growing Driver of Climate Change. Quote: Industrial farming encourages practices that degrade the soil and increase emissions, while leaving farmers more vulnerable to damage as the planet warms. End Quote This pretty much sums up the dilemma. Yet there are, of course, people on the ground making a difference. Gabriel, quoted above is one such example. In this piece they bring us Seth Watkins. Quote: On his farm in southwestern Iowa, Seth Watkins plants several different crops and raises cattle. He controls erosion and water pollution by leaving some land permanently covered in native grass. He grazes his cattle on pasture, and he sows cover crops to hold the fertile soil in place during the harsh Midwestern winters. Watkins' farm is a patchwork of diversity—and his fields mark it as an outlier. His practices don't sound radical, but Watkins is a bit of a renegade. He's among a small contingent of farmers in the region who are holding out against a decades-long trend of consolidation and expansion in American agriculture. Watkins does this in part because he farms with climate change in mind. "I can see the impact of the changing climate," he said. "I know, in the immediate, I've got to manage the issue. In the long term, it means doing something to slow down the problem." End Quote. Seth is a hold out against the consolidation process that’s been occurring with increasing rapidity since WW2 but examples can be found as far back the Roman Republic and more recently with the clearances of the 18th century. Clearly there are economic advantages to consolidation and industrial agriculture but it is these very economic advantages which are driving climate changes. So it is time to do things differently. Quote: "The industrial food system presents a barrier to realizing the potential climate benefits in agriculture," said Laura Lengnick, a soil scientist who has written extensively on climate and agriculture. "We continue to invest in this massive corn and soybean and beef-making machine in the Midwest despite all that we know about the changes we could make that would maintain yields, improve farm profitability and deliver climate change solutions." This is happening as landmark government reports and ample academic research show that agricultural soils are critical for stabilizing the climate. End Quote There is, of course, a political element to all this. Where there are subsidies, there will be lobbyists and market distortions through price signals. These have led to investments based upon the subsidies, consolidation of farms, and then these rely upon the continued subsidies to maintain profitability. A self sustaining cycle. No problem if there’s no down side. In this case, there’s plenty. Fossil fuel use, soil erosion, water contamination and animal cruelty as a starting list. All because the subsidies point enterprises into growing corn, soyabean and beef. From the article: Quote: Agricultural policy has long emphasized over-production, propped up by government subsidies that favor certain crops. Lawmakers have been unwilling to change the system, largely because of a powerful farm lobby and the might of agribusinesses that profit from technological advancements. "Farmers are dictated in how to farm," said Adam Mason, a policy director with Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement. "They're locked into a system." This system has transformed agriculture into a business that resembles the fossil fuel industry as it extracts value out of the ground with relentless efficiency and leaves greenhouse gas pollution in its aftermath. End Quote I would see this as an implementation of Henry Ford’s factory methodology to the whole world. We can do things differently. Bill Mollison springs to mind in these cases. Quote. “Though the problems of the world are increasingly complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple.” ― Bill Mollison “The greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter.” ― Bill Mollison End Quotes And on that note I’ll draw this episode to a conclusion. Remember: Decarbonise the air, recarbonise the soil! Of course the podcasting checklists are still available over at Jon Moore Podcasting Services Thank you for listening and I'll be back next week.

Jon Moore reporting! We begin this week with a worrying development in honey. From the Blog Quartz comes the post: Scientists found bee-killing neonicotinoids in 75% of honey sampled from around the world. Quote: A study published Oct. 6 in the journal Science found that a significant amount of the world’s honey contains traces of neonicotinoids, a class of commonly used pesticides, at levels strong enough to cause brain damage in bees. The chemicals are meant to attack the nervous systems of pests and keep them from eating crops, but it appears they may also hurt bees, which have been dying off in huge numbers in recent years, much to the befuddlement of researchers around the globe. End Quote This is a deeply concerning piece of research. There is some argument for the fact that neonics may not be killing bees outright, that is, there’s a full colony on day one and no colony on day three but that they are more insidious. By weakening the adult females collecting the honey they don’t tend to live as long as they would have. This means the next wave of workers have to step up before they are fully mature and the cycle continues until there aren’t any workers to feed the hive. So a slow collapse of the colony structure by the gradual effect of increased wakening. Add to this the neonics in the honey and the problem is magnified. This may or may not be the cause of colony collapse disorder but it seems a fair working hypothesis. Because neonics are systemic, that is they reside in every cell of the treated plant, there is no mechanism for avoiding them. They are effective at killing pests which, bite, burrow into and suck sap but there are other insects which are of benefit to the producer. Apart from honeybees and all the other species of bees which assist with pollination, there are the predator species which attack the plant destroying insects. Now a monoculture of a crop will attract the unwanted insects as quickly as free beer attracts alcoholics. And monocultures are the prefered cultures for industrial farming methods. Economies of scale, cost savings on fencing, remotely operated or even “smart” in air quotes self driving tractors. These economic considerations make perfect sense if the full costs are not paid for by the producer. So things like health costs to the general population from long exposure to carcinogenic pesticides like the now banned DDT are covered by the healthcare industry not the producers of the pesticides. They can keep their costs relatively low and change a very healthy margin to farmers who have been convinced to plant monocultures, invest in expensive machinery and now need a return on investment to keep the banks happy. The monocultures and their economies of scale create feeding grounds for pest insects. The farmers need to return a profit or go bankrupt, the insecticide companies don’t pay the full costs imposed by their products and therefore we have DDT and neonics to name but a few. The difference between DDT and neonics is that DDT had to be resprayed every time there was an outbreak of pests. Neonics sit there, in the plant, ready to attack the nervous system of any insect that consumes a plant part. Hooray for science! Less spraying equals good for the environment, no? Well, yes and no. Yes, if less spraying means less pesticide actually in the environment but in the case of systemic pesticides, the answer is a very definite NO! Neonics sit there, just waiting, in every cell of the plant. Not surprisingly this also includes pollen and nectar cells. Pollinators smack bang up against these cells and their neonic compounds. But i hear you ask: Such tiny amounts can have much of an effect, can they? I’m so glad you asked. From the post: Quote: For the study, researchers analyzed 198 honey samples from around the world, testing them for five common neonicotinoids: acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam. They discovered that at least one of those was present in 75% of the samples. And 34% of the samples contained a concentration of the compounds known to be lethal to bees. End quote. It would appear some form of regulation or ban on these chemicals should have happened yesterday but has only been partially implemented in the EU. Why are bees so important? After all, not everyone gets their sugar from honey. Honey is almost a pleasant side effect of bees and their behaviours. A post from One Green Planet dot org from back March 26 this year gives a few clues. Quote: A new study published in Nature Communications found that just two percent of wild bee species contributes 80 percent of the crop pollination visits observed globally. This means that if this small percentage of bees disappears … then 80 percent of our agricultural system will collapse. Seventy of the top 100 food crops grown worldwide rely on pollinators, this is equivalent to 90 percent of the world’s nutrition. It might sound unbelievable, but without bees we can say goodbye to food such as apples, almonds, oranges and avocados. End Quote. Indeed we would be left with plants which are either wind pollinated or which reproduce asexually. So basically things like cereals, wheat, rye, maize, sorghum and so on, potatoes and pineapples! I love pineapples but really I would prefer other fruits too. Some herbs could continue through propagation by cuttings, so rosemary, sage and the like. It does seem we would be left with a very dull diet with very poor nutritional outcomes. Bees matter! Bees matter a lot. As do those birds which assist in the pollination process and the other insects, butterflies, some wasps and the like. We have a choice. Fill every cell of every food plant with a poison to kill insects, including bees and move to a diet of spuds, bread and pineapples or end the use of systemic and other, I would argue, all other pesticides. This will mean a necessary change in the means of production. Monocultures will have to go. Alley cropping is one solution which still maintains some economies of scale while adding the benefits of habitat for beneficial insects and birds, reducing soil erosion, protecting crops and livestock and increasing tree numbers. There are solutions. I have argued elsewhere in this podcast and on the blog http://www.worldorganicnews.com/published-books/long-pieces-and-ideas/ that supporting a large number of smaller farmers would bring even more benefits to both the farmers and society as a whole. We could start by converting and rehabilitating every or maybe nearly every golf course and earth and turning them into local organic food producing hubs. There are ways, we must seize them before it is too late. Live in hope and grow at least a little of your own food. To that end, the one square metre garden handout is still available. email me at square@worldorganicnews.com and it’ll be in your inbox pronto! There’s a link at the top of the show notes.

Jon Moore reporting! The week, indeed, this year begins with an article from the National Post entitled: How organic farming will save us all – if we can throw away our antiquated notions of what it means. And the title says it all. We live in times of minutely defined identity. Each of us is encouraged to define ourselves as some combination of words that describes our family status, sexual orientation, voting intentions, lifestyle and who knows what else. That people have bought into this way of seeing themselves means they must also place others within a category or combination of categories. Hence I quote from the article: Quote: If there is a stereotype of the organic farmer it’s that they spend their days wrapped in droopy clothes made of hemp and burlap, becoming one with nature while foraging for chanterelles. End quote. The truth, of course, is much bigger than this. Yes there are organic farmers like those described but and I quote again from the article: Quote: Yet the reality of many organic farmers couldn’t be further from the truth. For those serious about agriculture free of synthetic chemicals, farming is a complex system that requires endless days of laborious work, with the potential to yield lucrative results. End Quote. Indeed the business of organic farming is as much a cerebral one as it is physical. A knowledge of so many disciplines is required: agronomy, entomology, soil science, animal husbandry, meteorology, algebra, accounting, hydrology, history and I could go on but will spare you. Quite often these things are just within the lifetime of each organic farmer’s experiences, sometimes they need to be studied. The author, Claudia McNelly goes on to use one farm as an example. Brent Preston gave up an office job to grow food or as he is quoted later in the piece, grow soil. Quote: Well-managed, nutrient-dense soils are the guiding light to finding success in self-sustaining, organic agriculture. “It’s not just something that can be done for 10 years or 100 years until the soil is exhausted,” says Preston. “The goal is every year your soil is better than it was the year before.” End quote. Now we know, or should by now know, chemical based farming destroys soil health. Dead soil is just dirt and dirt blows away. The death of soil through chemical agriculture is, or usually is, a slow process. This is the deal with the devil I’ve discussed in earlier episodes. 1% soil loss of soil per year for increased short term returns. Unfortunately 1% per year is a compound interest situation. This means not much appears to be happening for five, ten maybe even twenty years but the bill will come due and these bills always come at the worst time. Drought, flood and/or fire seem to accompany these payments. Cover crops, rotational grazing and cropping are all part of a system which grows soil. Again a lengthy quote: Quote: For millenniums(sic), crop rotation – the practice of moving crops and livestock around to ensure too much of one nutrient is never depleted – was the go-to method for maintaining soil health. During the Middle Ages, three-field rotation – a system where one field is allowed to rest every crop cycle – took over. This was the standard method of farming until less than a century ago, when increased food production became the goal. This meant that all available farmland would be put to use to grow crops. End quote. This meant that all available farmland would be put to use to grow crops. This was the deal with the devil. Not only was monoculture encouraged as scientific, the use of a single variety across all locations was encouraged or, in some locales, mandated from above. Locally adapted varieties were lost, generations of selection tossed into the dustbin of history. We still have time to retrieve some of these species but we must act quickly. We can also start the process of selecting for local varieties by using open pollinated, non hybrid varieties ourselves. Each season selects for the next, evolution is relentless and uncaring. We can work with it or be steam rolled by it. Above all, organic farming is about people. Organic farms tend to be smaller than say, corn or wheat farms yet they are far more profitable on a per acre basis. Once cereal subsidies are removed, they become more so. Quote: Organic farms generate more money per acre than their conventional counterparts. Even though they are not as big, they are usually far more profitable. “The amount of money we generate per acre on the farm is many multiples per acre of what our neighbours produce growing cash crops,” says Preston. A well-run small-scale organic farm will generate somewhere in the neighbourhood of $40,000 gross sales per acre. Corn and soy, known as “cash-crops” generate an average of $300 per acre, according to a 2016 paper published by the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics at the University of Illinois. End quote. It is the huge number of acres planted to corn and soy which make them viable and which are destroying soil at an increasing pace across the globe. In essence the difference between a broad acre monoculture and a small area organic farm is one of thought. Much more planning, thinking and pondering is required of the small area farmer than the broadacre ploughing enterprise. The latter may have fed the world during the 1960s and 1970s but it was the improvements in transportation world wide that did much more on that front. We have managed to grow more food than the world population needed since about 1850. Political indifference, poor transportation and wars are the reasons most people have starved. Ireland was, after all, exporting wheat to England as her citizens were starving to death during the potato famine. Independant, small area farmers, Yeoman, if you like, have, throughout history been a troublesome, cantankerous class. A ballast against change, think of the lack of revolution in the UK in 1848, the cutting edge of revolution, the US war of independence and the manpower for classical Greek and Roman republican armies. These people are thinkers, they have to be to survive. Given the inane, mindless consumerism of our current “developed” world I would suggest we need cantankerous thinkers more than ever. Joel Salatin springs to mind. Our soils certainly need their care and attention. Take your position, even if you only grow a rosemary bush in a plant pot, you have made a statement. Annoy your representatives until we see the end of subsidies for big ag and those funds redirected to farmer’s markets, school ag education programs and a world of shorter, safer food supply chains. Nothing changes until those in power are forced to change. Let’s make our local food producers the new celebrities! Just think how different our world can be.

Title: Being of Help in a Polarized World. Location: September 22, 2015 Evening - Copenhagen, Denmark, Open Mic Gathering. Quote: For you to be of any help, any profound help in this world, you would need to come from not just your heart, but deeper within from your own being. Info: People are responding worldwide to John and his message of knowing and meaning. John currently holds events in India, Israel, Canada and several countries in Europe. These international retreats include meetings, informal gatherings and oftentimes meals shared with John. The informal gatherings with John are a more conversational format, often filled with laughter, practical topics, and dynamism. The connections may also be deep and still, as the awakenings of formal meetings continue to develop. People also connect via webcast as part of a wider international community. Canadian Philosopher John de Ruiter is an innovative voice for spiritual evolution, teaching that life's meaning can be known and lived through "core-splitting honesty." In his teens, John awakened to foundational levels of existence. Ever since, his life and teaching have been informed by that direct knowing, a true inspiration that he encourages in others. John's meetings include silence, connection by eye-contact, and dialogue. They are an opportunity to come to rest while actively realizing deeper levels of being human, knowing what we really are, and allowing that greater reality to change our lives.
