Whether you own a store, work in rural development or care about the future of small-town Nebraska, this conversation offers insight into what it takes to keep rural grocery stores thriving.Find out more and apply by March 6 here: https://www.cfra.org/rural-grocery-store-learning-cohort-online

Rural communities across the United States are facing a sustained decline in access to primary care. Since 2017, the number of family physicians practicing in rural areas has dropped by more than 10%, according to a report published late last year. In many regions, that reduction has implications for care capacity, hospital stability and long-term workforce planning. In the second part of the conversations, host J. Carlisle Larsen speaks with Colleen Fogarty, M.D. of the University of Rochester about the structural factors shaping the rural physician workforce and what it will take to strengthen it, examining rural residency programs, medical training pipelines, immigration pathways and loan repayment incentives as policy levers aimed at stabilizing rural access to care. You can listen to the first half of the conversation here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

En Francia, el salón de la Agricultura abrió sus puertas. Este año y por primera vez, la cita imprescindible del agro francés se realiza sin los bovinos para evitar los contagios de dermatitis nodular que afectó a una parte del ganado francés. El sector agrícola busca también responder a la escasez de huevos que se observa en numerosos supermercados. Y algunos culpan a los defensores del bienestar animal. Escenas poco habituales se viven desde hace unos meses en Francia: en muchos supermercados quedan pocas o ninguna caja de huevos en las estanterías. Una escasez que, según Loïc Thomas, presidente del SNIPO, sindicato de productores de huevos de Francia, se debe a varios factores: "Hemos tenido que remodelar las granjas avícolas para eliminar las jaulas. Hubo además una epidemia de influenza aviar que llevó a sacrificar a animales. Y la principal causa es el aumento del consumo. Hubo un aumento del 25% de las ventas de huevos en los supermercados franceses en 10 años. El huevo se ha convertido en la proteína más barata." En este, contexto, la Coordinación Rural, uno de los sindicatos del agronegocio francés conocido por su oposición férrea a las normas ambientales, pidió volver a criar gallinas en jaulas para una mayor productividad. Una eventualidad que descartan los productores de huevos quienes hace 10 años se comprometieron a eliminar las jaulas en nombre del bienestar animal. Hace una década, la filtración de imágenes de gallinas enjauladas, desplumadas, amontonadas y sin poder moverse, algunas muertas o en descomposición, llevó a los principales supermercados franceses a acabar con la venta de huevos de gallinas enjauladas. El objetivo sin embargo aún no se ha cumplido por completo observa Keyvan Mostafavi, director de la ONG animalista Anima en Francia. “Todavía no hemos alcanzado totalmente este objetivo. Quedan aún 23% de gallinas criadas en jaulas. Y una investigación nuestra indica que el 70% de los supermercados siguen vendiendo huevos de gallinas enjauladas. Son millones de animales encerrados las 24 horas del día, sin ver la luz, amontonados”, lamenta Mostafavi. El activista reconoce sin embargo que gracias a este compromiso, “la proporción de gallinas enjauladas se dividió por 3 en 10 años". La creciente preocupación por el bienestar animal en la industria se observa también en otros países europeos. Alemania, Austria y Dinamarca prohibieron enjaular a las gallinas ponedoras. Y otros países europeos lo harán gradualmente también en los años próximos. Las organizaciones animalistas piden por su parte acelerar el ritmo y exigen también mejores condiciones en los criaderos de pollos. La ONG Anima Francia pide por ejemplo que se abandone la cría de pollos de engorde, sacrificados a las 8 semanas. Un crecimiento tan rápido que su esqueleto no aguanta su propio peso y favorece las fracturas óseas.

The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens ✓ Claim : Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- With grocery prices skyrocketing and supply chain disruptions becoming more frequent, the average person has more and more incentive to get involved in growing their own food – but how does one even get started? For most people, the time, money, knowledge, and land remain out of reach in order to learn even the basics of agriculture. What kind of options are available for individuals who want to reclaim their food sovereignty – and subsequently become more connected with the Earth and like-minded people?  In this episode, Nate is joined by biologist and farmer Jason Bradford, to discuss his 'Farming Club,' which offers hands-on learning for ecologically based agriculture, where members also get to take home food and build a relationship with the land. Jason explains why industrial agriculture, optimized for financial returns and machine efficiency while ignoring ecological costs, makes it almost impossible to become a successful small-scale farmer in today's economy. The Farming Club's model provides a way for people to maintain their jobs while building the knowledge, skills, and community connections needed for a lower-throughput future.  How could reinvigorating farming culture provide an avenue to real skills and purpose to the next generation, especially for young men? How could the farming club model be replicated across the country, sparking small rural movements everywhere? And how could thousands of ideas and initiatives like these act as safety nets for individuals and communities as we transition to a more simplified society? (Conversation recorded on December 4th, 2025)     About Jason Bradford: Jason co-manages a Community Supported Agriculture program with the Organic Growers Club at Oregon State University, where he practices land stewardship methods and cultivates community rooted in ecologically-based agricultural practices. Prior to his switch to agriculture, he was a research biologist studying evolution, ecology, and global change. Additionally, Jason has been affiliated with the Post Carbon Institute since 2004, first as a Fellow and then as Board President. He is currently a co-host of the Crazy Town podcast, as well as a writer for Resilience.org.

Major federal investments and national guidance can shape the future of public health, but only if states can turn policy into practice. This episode looks at two sweeping developments and the on-the-groundwork required to make them matter. First, Chris Salyers, Director of Programs and Evaluation at the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health explains the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), a $50 billion, five-year investment aimed at strengthening rural communities. With no clear blueprint for moving funds at this scale, states are in the early stages of building advisory groups, navigating procurement and contracting rules, and working to ensure dollars actually reach rural providers and organizations, not just large outside entities. Salyers highlights the importance of stakeholder engagement, peer learning, and using this planning window to build systems that allow smaller, capacity-strapped rural groups to compete for funding.  Then, Shannon Vance, Director, Family and Child Health at ASTHO, breaks down the newly released 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and their wide-ranging implications. With chronic disease driving nearly 90% of U.S. healthcare spending, the updated guidance, including stronger limits on added sugars, greater emphasis on protein and full-fat dairy, and life-stage–specific recommendations, could reshape everything from individual eating habits to major federal nutrition programs. Vance explores the ripple effects for SNAP, WIC, and school meals, where agencies are already juggling recent rule changes, tight budgets, and supply challenges.Leadership Power Hour: Your Launchpad for Impact | ASTHOThe 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines: Understanding the New Pyramid | ASTHOFunding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHOASTHO (@ASTHO) / XAssociation of State and Territorial Health Officials (@asthonews.bsky.social) — Bluesky(1) Instagram(1) LinkedInFacebook

In this episode, we delve into the compelling experiences of Stacy from rural Michigan, a disabled veteran who has spent years uncovering unexplained activity on his own property. Living near farmland and within miles of the Black River area, Stacy shares how subtle changes in the woods slowly gave way to unmistakable encounters that demanded his attention. As he began spending more time on the land, he noticed unusual tree breaks, carefully arranged structures, and large tracks appearing in places no one else traveled.Stacy recounts moments in the woods that felt deliberate and intelligent, including encounters that left him rethinking how closely something may be observing human activity. With trail cameras set throughout the property, he describes strange patterns, unexpected interference, and imagery that raised new questions rather than providing easy answers. His experiences also led him to explore the deep history of the land, including Indigenous traditions and the idea that these beings may be tied to the landscape in ways that go beyond the physical.Thoughtful, grounded, and deeply personal, Stacy's account offers a detailed look at what it's like to live alongside something unknown. Join us as we explore his ongoing experiences and the growing mystery surrounding this active area of rural Michigan.Contact Stacy here: atkinsstacy67@gmail.com

Rural news and events from New South Wales and the nation.

In this episode, Dan and Mason get real about what rural land development actually looks like when you're doing it right now, not just talking about the upside. They share the problems showing up inside live deals, and why “one small detail” in due diligence can wipe out an otherwise perfect project.They walk through the big repeat offenders, access and roads. State highways, driveway permits, line of sight, drainage dips, and county rules can turn a great parcel into a dead deal fast. They also call out the stuff you only catch in person, easements that don't match the actual road, neighbors who block or fight access, and why walking the property is still one of the highest ROI moves you can make.From there, they zoom out to the decisions that separate a clean project from a painful one. Lot count versus road cost, what buyers in that area actually want, and how demand shifts when you offer terms instead of relying on cash comps. They share simple ways to sanity-check demand, leaning on local experts, test marketing during due diligence, and even pulling county buyer data to see where the real buyers come from.They wrap with the other deal-killers they keep on a checklist, water reality versus “water rights hype,” electric that looks usable but isn't, soils and septic limits, and title issues like conservation easements and leases. The takeaway is clear: rural development isn't hard because it's complicated, it's hard because it punishes assumptions.Tune in if you want the honest version of land development, the one where the win goes to whoever verifies first.===Key Topics:-Rural land planning for exempt subdivisions-Road frontage, highway access permits, and driveway feasibility-Easements that don't match the real-world access and neighbor conflicts-Buyer demand, lot size strategy, and selling with terms financing-Due diligence deal killers like water, electric, soils, title restrictions, and conservation easements===If you're selling land and still relying on Facebook messages, you're making it harder than it needs to be.

 Small towns across America are being flooded by plans for massive ICE detention centers, which Andrea Pitzer, in One Long Night, describes as concentration camps. In this episode of Good Skews, Producer Matt talks with rural organizer and former state House candidate Megan Kocher about what's unfolding in Northeastern Pennsylvania and across the country, why warehouse sites are spreading into small towns with little local input, and how recent reporting on ICE misconduct raises urgent oversight concerns. We also discuss what real organizing looks like beyond protests — from building ICEwatch networks and mutual aid systems to leveraging zoning boards, local officials, and elections to slow or stop detention projects before they take root. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Since the last time he was on, a lot has changed. Dagan launched the Nomadic Research podcast out of Dixon, Illinois and went all in on building something of his own. Rural northwest Illinois, limestone bluffs, the Rock River, big whitetails, and just enough distance from Chicago to keep your sanity intact. Not a bad place to build a studio and start the next chapter. Evan and Dagan get into the why behind it. Why Illinois. Why leave a long career. Why step out and start talking publicly after years of working inside one of the largest and most misunderstood organizations in the country. Dagan walks through his background growing up in a Marine family, doing 12 years in the Corps across infantry and reconnaissance billets, then making the jump to the Agency where he and Evan worked together for years. They talk candidly about the difference between the tactical side of the house and where the real strategic decisions get made, the infamous seventh floor, and what it is like to be a small cog inside a 23,000 person machine. There is humor, a few shots at California, some perspective on career pivots, and a real look at professional evolution from Marine to operator to podcaster and business owner. This one is about reinvention, loyalty to where you came from, and figuring out what comes next when you have already done a few lifetimes worth of work. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in.
