Podcasts about small communities

Travel with us from the vast plains of South Dakota to the sunny landscapes of Florida as we explore the transformative journey of Stephanie Anderson, a passionate advocate for regenerative agriculture. Discover how her upbringing on a traditional cattle ranch shaped her views and fueled her latest literary endeavor, "From the Ground Up: The Women Revolutionizing Regenerative Agriculture." Stephanie's insights into her family's unique grazing practices, combined with her generous offer of book copies, invite our Grazing Grass community to rethink conventional farming and embrace sustainable practices.Unpacking the challenges faced by first-generation college students, we shine a light on the expectations from small-town life and the potential for meaningful careers within agriculture and beyond. Personal anecdotes paint a vivid picture of the stark contrasts and humorous realities of rural life versus broader societal norms. By highlighting the resilience of individuals like Stephanie, who ventured from traditional backgrounds into diverse fields, we emphasize the importance of sustainable agriculture as a viable and rewarding career path in today's economic climate.The episode also delves into the broader impacts of regenerative practices on both personal and societal levels. From the pioneering work of farmers like Gabe Brown to the critical role of women and BIPOC individuals in reshaping our food systems, our discussion underscores the inclusivity and adaptability required in this movement. As we navigate through stories of innovative practices such as regenerative grazing and nutritious sprouting, Stephanie's passion and perspective offer a beacon of hope for a sustainable agricultural future, encouraging listeners to consider how these practices can fortify our food systems in uncertain times.Links Mentioned in the EpisodeStephanie Anderson's WritingsVisit our Sponsors:Noble Research InstituteRedmond2025 Manderley Farms Grazing ConferenceGrazing Grass LinksNew Listener Resource GuideProvide feedback for the podcastWebsiteInsidersResources (Coming Soon)Community (on Facebook)Check out the Apiary Chronicles PodcastOriginal Music by Louis PalfreyChapters(00:00) - Introduction to Stephanie Anderson (00:17) - Fast Five with Stephanie (00:56) - Welcome to the Grazing Grass Podcast (01:30) - Ranch Management Courses Announcement (02:26) - Farm Update: Bale Grazing and Lambing Season (04:22) - Grazing Grass Community on Facebook (05:01) - Stephanie's Early Ranching Experiences (08:21) - Pursuing an English Major and Writing Career (15:14) - Stephanie's Writing Journey and Regenerative Practices (21:37) - Impact of Regenerative Practices on Family Ranch (22:58) - Challenges of Transitioning to Regenerative Agriculture (24:50) - Inspiration Behind 'From the Ground Up' (28:48) - Inclusive Practices in Regenerative Agriculture (30:15) - The Importance of Storytelling in Farming (31:01) - Challenges and Opportunities for Young Farmers (32:31) - Transitioning Farmland to the Next Generation (34:21) - Economic Stability Through Regenerative Practices (35:20) - Introducing Stephanie's Book (36:49) - Diverse Regenerative Practices Across the U.S. (44:44) - The Role of Fire in Land Management (47:59) - Innovative Grazing Techniques and Diversification (52:06) - Stephanie's Future Writing Projects (53:34) - The Famous Four Questions (01:01:07) - Conclusion and Listener Resources

The city of Denver built a total of 160 small structures. Denver's mayor Mike Johnston told the Associated Press (AP) that it took about six months to complete them. Each unit costs $25,000, he said. One thousand converted hotel units cost about $100,000 each.丹佛市共建了160个小型结构。丹佛市市长迈克·约翰斯顿告诉美联社，这些建筑大约花了六个月时间完成。他说，每个单元花费25000美元。一千个改造后的酒店单元每个花费约100000美元。The Melody project in Atlanta took four months to build. Each unit costs about $125,000. Support workers and security operations cost about $900,000 a year.亚特兰大的梅洛迪项目用了四个月建成。每个单元花费约125000美元。支持人员和安保运营每年花费约90万美元。Andre Dickens is Atlanta's mayor. He wants to supply 500 units of quickly built housing on city-owned land by December 2025.安德烈·狄更斯是亚特兰大的市长。他希望在2025年12月之前在市政土地上提供500个快速建造的住房单元。Few people in Atlanta expressed worry when The Melody was announced last year. However, as city officials look to expand rapid-housing areas, they know people might not support the idea.去年宣布梅洛迪项目时，亚特兰大很少有人表示担忧。然而，当市官员寻求扩大快速住房区域时，他们知道人们可能不会支持这个想法。In Denver, Johnston said he attended at least 60 meetings with residents in six months as the city tried to find places for the new communities. Local residents expressed worry about issues such as waste and safety.在丹佛，约翰斯顿说，在六个月内他参加了至少60次与居民的会议，因为城市试图为新社区找到合适的地方。当地居民表达了对废物和安全等问题的担忧。“What they are worried about is their current experience of unsheltered homelessness,” Johnston said. He said city officials needed to show residents that micro communities could be successful. With the existing projects, he now says he has some proof to reduce residents' concerns.“他们担心的是他们目前无庇护的无家可归经历，”约翰斯顿说。他说，市官员需要向居民展示微社区的成功。通过现有的项目，他现在说他有一些证据可以减轻居民的担忧。As for Martinez, he keeps all his belongings ready in case he has to move although he says he feels secure in his small home with his cat, Appa.至于马丁内斯，他把所有的物品都准备好，以防他需要搬家，尽管他说他在和他的猫阿帕一起的小家里感到很安全。He is now preparing for the next steps in his path towards permanent housing. He has a date for a meeting about a new job. The next step for him is to receive a document showing he qualifies for financial support from the city to rent an apartment.他现在正在准备迈向永久住房的下一步。他有一个关于新工作的会议日期。下一步是收到一份文件，表明他有资格获得城市的财政支持来租赁公寓。“I'm always looking down on myself for some reason,” he said. But “I feel like I've been doing a pretty good job. Everyone is pretty proud of me,” he added.“因为某些原因，我总是看不起自己，”他说。但“我觉得我做得还不错。大家都为我感到骄傲，”他补充道。

Some U.S. cities are building housing, called “micro communities,” that is meant to combat increasing homelessness. The housing units in these communities are small and built quickly.一些美国城市正在建设名为“微社区”的住房，旨在应对日益严重的无家可归现象。这些社区的住房单元很小并且建造迅速。Unlike group shelters, micro communities give each homeless person his or her own living space. Officials say they believe the communities, when combined with other services, can put their residents on a path to permanent housing more effectively than other projects for the homeless.与集体庇护所不同，微社区为每个无家可归者提供自己的生活空间。官员们表示，他们相信这些社区结合其他服务时，可以比其他无家可归项目更有效地将居民引导到永久住房的道路上。The Melody is a micro community built on a former parking lot in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. Officials built 40 small studio apartments from shipping containers. Each studio has many things needed for the home. These include a single bed, a heating and cooling system, a microwave oven, a TV, a desk, a sink and a bathroom. The area also has plants, green plastic ground covering, and a place to walk dogs.梅洛迪（The Melody）是乔治亚州亚特兰大市一个由旧停车场改建的微社区。官员们用集装箱建造了40个小型单间公寓。每个单间都有许多家庭所需的设施，包括单人床、供暖和制冷系统、微波炉、电视、书桌、水槽和浴室。该区域还有植物、绿色塑料地面覆盖物和一个遛狗的地方。Cynthia Diamond is a 61-year-old former cook who uses a wheelchair. She has been homeless for many years. Now she lives at The Melody. She told reporters that she is very thankful to live in the community and enjoys having her own living space. “I have my own door key…I'm going to stay here as long as the Lord allows me to stay here,” she said.辛西娅·戴蒙德（Cynthia Diamond）是一名61岁的前厨师，使用轮椅。她多年来一直无家可归。现在她住在梅洛迪社区。她告诉记者，她非常感激能够住在这个社区，并且享受拥有自己的生活空间。“我有自己的门钥匙……只要上帝允许我留下，我就会一直住在这里，”她说。The city of Denver, Colorado, has built three micro communities. It has also turned hotels into housing for the homeless. In Los Angeles, a 232-unit community has two buildings, each with three levels that are made from shipping containers.科罗拉多州丹佛市已经建成了三个微社区。它还将酒店改造成无家可归者的住房。在洛杉矶，一个有232个单元的社区有两栋建筑，每栋建筑有三层，都是用集装箱建造的。The latest information says over 1,500 people in Denver have joined its housing program. Over 80 percent of those who joined are still in the housing.最新消息称，丹佛市已有超过1500人加入了其住房项目。加入该项目的人中有80%以上仍然住在这些住房中。Both Atlanta's and Denver's programs act as steps to help people find jobs and permanent housing. Denver aims to move people from the micro communities into permanent housing within six months.亚特兰大和丹佛的项目都是帮助人们找到工作和永久住房的步骤。丹佛的目标是在六个月内将人们从微社区搬入永久住房。That includes Eric Martinez, aged 28, who has been homeless for much of his life. He said homelessness “…makes me feel less of a person. I had to get out of it.”这包括28岁的埃里克·马丁内斯（Eric Martinez），他一生中的大部分时间都是无家可归的。他说无家可归“……让我觉得自己不算是一个人。我必须摆脱这种状态。”The services in the micro communities are mostly centralized. They offer treatment for mental health, drug and alcohol abuse. They also provide advice, job training and other forms of help. Martinez said the community has been “very uplifting and supporting.”微社区的服务大多是集中化的。他们提供心理健康、药物和酒精滥用的治疗。他们还提供建议、工作培训和其他形式的帮助。马丁内斯说，这个社区“非常振奋人心和支持。”Peter Cumiskey works at The Melody in Atlanta. He said the micro community is able to serve every level of a person's needs, “from security and shelter, all the way up to self-actualization and the sense of community.”彼得·卡米斯基（Peter Cumiskey）在亚特兰大的梅洛迪社区工作。他说，微社区能够满足一个人从安全和庇护到自我实现和社区感的每个层次的需求。

Residents of a small Selwyn community say they will keep fighting to save their homes after being told they must vacate them by 2039. Anna Sargent reports.

In this episode, we are joined by Jennifer Coughlin, who bravely opens up about her profound voyage through the challenges of raising a child grappling with a rare genetic condition. With only around 250 diagnosed cases worldwide, Jennifer's youngest daughter, Edith, faces a myriad of obstacles, including visual impairment, developmental delays, seizures, epilepsy, and intellectual disability. Jennifer's life took a drastic turn when she received Edith's diagnosis, prompting her to leave her career at an investment bank to prioritize her daughter's care. Through this challenging transition, Jennifer found solace and support in the NR2F1 Foundation, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by this rare condition. As Jennifer delves into her unexpected role as a fundraiser for the foundation, she reflects on her initial hesitation and subsequent immersion into the world of nonprofit work. Drawing from her background in strategy and operations, Jennifer leveraged her skills to develop a comprehensive fundraising strategy despite being new to the nonprofit sector. Currently, she serves as the Vice President of the NR2F1 Foundation. In this episode, you will be able to: Learn the importance of storytelling and engagement in fundraising efforts.
