This is a recording of a panel session from the SWR Global Conference Series 2023  “The sustainable vineyard and winery in 2030” conference from 3rd May 2023. In the winery: Energy use and Capturing CO2 – should you do it? A handful of wineries around the world are capturing and re-using or storing CO2. In this session we ask why, although we know part of the answer (climate change). but also, how much does it cost to do so? What does it cost to capture – and re-use - CO2, and what are the uses for it (in tanks, as a solid) once you have it. In this session we talk to those who've been doing it, and put audience questions on the how and why, directly to them. Speakers: Felix Egerer, Viticulturist, Unsworth Vineyards Joao Luis Barroso, Sustainability Coordinator, Wines of Alentejo Sergio Nicolau, Viticulturist and Agronomist, Orgo Regenerative Biology Management Diana Snowden Seysses, Winemaker, Snowden Vineyards Moderator: James Streeter, Chair, SWR

The Albany County Executive's Office is developing a Climate Resiliency Plan for Albany County to address risks and vulnerabilities associated with an increase in frequency and severity of storm events, sea level rise, flooding, and other climate-related hazards. Lucas Rogers, the· Economic Development and Sustainability Coordinator for the County Executive, discusses the plan with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Troy Moon is the Sustainability Coordinator for the City of Portland, Maine. His office organizes efforts to reduce carbon emissions, manage resources, and prepare for the impacts of climate change. In 2018 the Portland City Council passed a landcare ordinance to ban toxic pesticide use on both publicly maintained lands (gardens, athletic fields, parks, playgrounds and public lawns) and privately owned land. Residents pushed for this change in order to protect the public health, since pesticides are linked to many serious health issues (asthma, hormone disruption, lymphoma, Parkinson's disease, leukemia, brain cancer, and issues related to skin, eyes and the nervous system). Removing pesticides from the environment also protects biodiversity and the Blue Economy of Casco Bay. On March 19, 2023 an additional ban of chemical fertilizers is also going into place, in Maine's largest city. Prior to fertilizing lawns, homeowners will need to test the soil. Free soil test kits are available through Cumberland County's Extension Office.

The regenagri podcast is a platform for leading industry experts to explore the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture. In episode 26, Rose Riley from Control Union UK, welcomes Meshark Sikuku, regional Farm Systems and Sustainability Coordinator at Ripple Effect to discuss the community benefits of regenerative agriculture. Meshark has more than 15 years' experience working in agriculture with NGOs, helping communities to build sustainable farm systems for improving food security, nutrition and livelihoods. Formerly known as Send a Cow, Ripple Effect was established in 1988 by a small group of West Country farmers. Its headquarters are in the UK, with a hub in Nairobi, where Meshark is based. The organisation works with smallholder farmers and communities across six countries in East Africa, bringing farmers together to learn new skills and share knowledge so they can improve their livelihoods and build sustainable agri-businesses. In this episode, Meshark describes how the method of farming promoted by Ripple Effect's peer farmer trainers is rooted in regenerative principles to protect natural environments and build resilience to climate change. This is important for making the land more productive, enabling framers to increase yields, generate more income and, in turn, to form co-operatives or diversify their farm businesses for accessing new markets and achieving greater control over their future. Meshark shares success stories from his work in Kenya and Uganda, and also explains the importance of gender and social development training to ensure no one is left behind and that the community benefits of regenerative farming can be enjoyed by all.

Food insecurity runs rampant across the globe, even in first world countries like Canada and the U.S. Thankfully, there are organizations doin the work to combat it. As a born and raised Calgaranian, I've been familiar with the work done by Brown Bagging 4 Calgary's Kids (BB4CK) since I was a kid myself. Providing lunches to kids in need is the epitome of hope.Kids who come to school without lunch usually have parents at home who haven't eaten a good meal in a few days. And those same kids don't want to be called out at school for not having a lunch, or have to take paperwork home so their parents can jump through hoops so they can eat.On today's episode, Bethany Ross shares how BB4CK works tirelessly to bring people together – giving time, energy, resources and lots of heart – to ensure that kids who need food have access to it.What I find particularly hopeful about the BB4CK program is that it's 100% funded by the community, which means that it's really easy for kids to access. And the program is for the kids and making sure that the food that's provided is what they want to eat and packaged in a way that doesn't call them out.Tune in to learn more.About Bethany Ross:Bethany Ross has always been passionate about working with organizations that create opportunities for kids. She has a background in Not-For-Profit Studies from Mount Royal University. Bethany joined BB4CK as a Sustainability Coordinator 7 years ago. Since then, her priority has been to connect people in the community to ways where they can make a difference for kids. Currently, she is the Executive Director of Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids. She is a problem solver, a great listener and an impeccable writer.To learn more you can find Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.Mentioned In This Episode:Brown Bagging for Calgary's KidsWellness WebinarExpert in Hope
