Cultivating Resilience—it's our title, and the goal for this podcast: to help our listeners develop mental resilience. But what is resilience? And how do you get it?Over the course of this season, we've covered specific stressors and the skills that can help you manage and overcome them. But for our final episode, we're zooming out and addressing resilience generally. Because strong people aren't born, they're made—which means you can learn and build resilience if you know what to practice.On this episode, we've got three different stories of resilience for you, each highlighting multiple ways of developing your mental fortitude. You'll meet a military intelligence officer, a pumpkin with a past and Louise, the 600-pound pig. Through it all, we'll talk about planning, adaptability, purpose and the characteristics that define a resilient person. And our guests, Matt & Stefanie Barfield (Chesterfield Heirlooms), Jeff Sale (Centurion Farm), Anne Devin (Chase Stream Farm) and Rhyne Cureton (@pork.rhyne) will share the strategies that helped them bounce back from the challenges life put in their way.Join us for our final episode of the season, where we'll share the roadmap to resilient living.

Succession — Legacy

Succession isn't just about passing down the farm. Because whether you realize it or not, your successors will inherit more than the land you give them. They're getting the legacy you left behind, and if they're your children, a lifetime of the values you've imparted to them. Which is why any discussion of succession starts well before you're ready to retire.Of course, many farms are passed down within family, which presents its own challenges. Farming with family blurs the lines between business and personal, and how you incorporate your kids into your farm life will go a long way into whether they're ready or even willing to take over farm duties. Many of the stresses we hear from farmers around this stem from fundamental questions: Did I raise my children the right way? Did I farm the right way? Does it all end with me? Succession is where the rubber meets the road on a lot of these big issues, and so on this episode, we'll cover all of it: the trials and triumphs of family farming, living your values, and the process of passing on a farm you're proud of. You'll hear from Thelma Kiernan of Kiernan Farm, who's preparing to pass on her grass-fed beef operation, and sisters Candice White and Amanda Dotterer Condo of Dotterer Dairy, who were raised on and have since inherited a 3rd-generation dairy farm. Join us as we put the success into succession.Resources & Links:· Kiernan Farm· Kiernan Farm – Bruynswick Winery· National Milk Producers Federation - Dotterer Dairy Profile· Candice White TikTok· Dotterer Dairy – Land O' Lakes “She-I-O” Campaign· Nationwide – Understanding Farm Succession Planning· Farm Bureau – Complete Guide to Farm Succession Planning· University of Wisconsin-Madison Extension – 10 Things to Consider for Succession PlanningFeedback:If you have questions about the show or topics you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, andrew@lowerstreet.co

Community – Belonging

Farming can be lonely. Rural areas are spread out and sparsely populated. You can be out in the field all day and never see anyone. Some farmers love this solitude, but that doesn't mean they don't need community. If anything, it shows that farmers need to be intentional about building community, because there's no built-in block parties or office water coolers in rural life. The benefits of having a community are massive. Communities provide access to shared knowledge and resources, not to mention purpose and emotional support.But for some, rural communities aren't accessible. Whether it's because of race, language, politics, sexuality, or any number of other issues, farmers might feel unwelcome or unsafe. Unlike more densely populated areas, their alternatives may be limited. So how do you find community?On this episode, we have 4 guests, each answering that question in a different way. Some are working to change communities from the inside, others are building new communities from the ground up. Join Wichie Artu (Magnetic Fields Farm – Athens, VT), Eustacio Mil Quino (Hudson Valley Farm Hub – Hurley, NY) along with Ashanti Williams and Arian Rivera (Black Yard Farm Collective – Sloanesville, NY) as we redefine community and rediscover what it means to belong.Special thanks to Zamir Bridgman and Jackie Lamport on this episode.Affinity Networks· National Black Farmers Association· Queer Farmer Network· National Latino Farmers and Ranchers· Northeast Farmers of Color NetworkResources & Links:· Black Yard Farm Collective Website· Black Yard Farm Collective Instagram (@theblackyardfarm)· Black Yard Farm Collective Twitter (@blackyardfarmco)· Hudson Valley Farm Hub Website· Hudson Valley Farm Hub Facebook· Hudson Valley Farm Hub – Language Justice· Magnetic Fields Farm· Wichie Artu State Senate Campaign· Farm School NYC· The Importance of Community and Mental Health – National Alliance on Mental IllnessFeedback:If you have questions about the show or topics you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, andrew@lowerstreet.co

Climate Anxiety – Specialty Crops

The consequences of global warming affect farmers more than almost any other profession. A warming climate means increased droughts, heavy rain, unpredictable storms, and a fluctuating growing season, all of which can threaten a farmer's bottom line. But climate change also poses big, existential questions: What kind of world am I leaving behind? Can we respond fast enough as a society? Am I doing enough?These connected worries all fall under the umbrella of “climate anxiety.” And it's the combination of practical and existential threats that makes climate anxiety uniquely difficult to deal with. But it also means there are a lot of ways to approach it. Today, we talk to Wichie Artu (Magnetic Fields Farm – Athens, VT) and Dr. Nadine Burton (Tallawah Farms – Princess Anne, MD) two farmers who are using “specialty crops” to address a variety of issues presented by climate change. Together, we'll cover how to mitigate storm damage, protect from crop loss, and adapt your practices to minimize your environmental impact and feed a changing world.Join us as we explore the ways you can regain control and find local solutions to a global problem.Resources & Links:· Magnetic Fields Farm· Tallawah Farms· University of Maryland-Eastern Shore· Dr. Monica Marie White - Founder, Office of Environmental Justice & Engagement – University of Wisconsin-Madison· Collective Agency and Community Resilience: A Theoretical Framework to Understand Agricultural Resistance – Monica Marie White, Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, & Community Development· USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture – Climate Change Programs· Northeast Organic Farming Association· Farm Bureau - Farmers for a Sustainable Future· Farmers.gov – Specialty Crops· Climate Resilient Farming Grant (NY Only)Feedback:If you have questions about the show or topics you'd like discussed in future episodes, email our producer, andrew@lowerstreet.coA podcast from Cultivemos (FRSAN-NE)

Almost 75% of Indian farmers are women and they produce up to 80% of India's food, according to British non profit group Oxfam. But one-third of this vast number are unpaid laborers working on family farms. Women own just 12.8% of the country's land. Without land, women are not officially recognised as farmers. This proved to be an immense problem in the pandemic where they missed out on government relief schemes. Mahila Kisan Adhikaar Manch or MAKAAM released a study of the challenges faced by women farmers in the context of COVID-19, ‘Long road to recovery.'

Naomi Campbell is an actress, an innovator, an icon, an activist, and a philanthropist who’s been at the summit of the fashion industry for over three decades. When Pat McGrath signed her up to be the global face of her makeup brand she said “she’s an inspiration to women, especially women of colour. She demonstrates that anything is possible”. Jenni talks to her about the collaboration, her reaction to the death of George Floyd and how the fashion and beauty industry needs to play its part in bringing about change. In just under five months’ time US voters will go to the polls. President Donald Trump and his Vice President Mike Pence are set to face Joe Biden whoever he picks as his running mate. Biden has already said he will pick a woman – and in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, following the death of George Floyd, there is much speculation about the possible Black women he might pick. So how might this impact on the presidential election? And what will shape the key messages of Democrats and Republicans to women voters as the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic continues? Pork in cyder, grilled grapefruit and cheese scones, fruit salad with gherkins …just some of the dishes Georgie Williams has cooked in the last year as she’s worked her way through an old recipe book. She found it after buying a second hand sideboard – 365 recipes written in a 1968 diary which she’d like to reunite with the person who wrote it. Georgie shares pictures and videos of these culinary treats on her @forgottendelights Instagram account. The Welsh Government’s Farming Connect scheme is running online events all this week aimed at giving women the confidence and knowledge they need to help develop both their personal and business skills. Research shows that women’s development in agriculture is vital to increasing the size of the skilled workforce, as well as unlocking talent to help drive the industry forward. So what practical steps can be taken to start breaking down the barriers faced by women and to inspire them to reach their full potential?

This month, Abby spends some time with Josephina, a former art teacher, on her ranch in the Chilean mountains. Josephina started a group for women farmers in the region, which has grown to become a network of community support and friendship. Then, we hear about the Woodchip for Fertile Soils project run by Sally Westaway from the Organic Research Centre. As part of the project, Robert Benford of Down Farm takes in wood from William Hamer’s Hampshire Woodfuel Cooperative, and uses it to improve his soil. Next, we speak with Fred Price from Gothelney Farm, Somerset, who was on the show back in January. This time, he talks to us about a key part of his system: the pastured pigs. Fred explains how he uses a forage-based system to build soil, keep the pigs happy, and make sure the farm is ecologically and financially resilient. We also hear back from another old friend from a few episodes ago, Dan Rinke. As well as his farming experiments with Kim Hamblin at Art and Science, Oregon, Dan manages Johan Vineyards in the Willamette Valley, and he walks us through his regenerative vineyard management system. Finally, we return to the nuances of no-till and conservation agriculture, focusing this month on the application of glyphosate right before harvest in the UK, also known as pre-harvest crop desiccation. We can understand why farmers might want to do this, but this use of herbicides makes us uneasy. What do you think? Thanks for listening to Farmerama this month, and every month. Farmerama is made by Abby Rose, Katie Revell and Jo Barratt. This month, editing was by Suzie McCarthy, Louis Hudson and Zack Ekpe.

Psychological Change: Bringing Dignity to Poor Communities

How can we move poor communities from hopelessness to hopefulness? In this fascinating episode ofAdd Passion and Stir, Pierre Ferrari, President and CEO of Heifer International, and Matt Bell, chef andowner of South on Main restaurant in Little Rock, share insights about creating value in poor communitieswith hosts Debbie and Billy Shore. Ferrari speaks about the success Heifer International has had in pooragricultural communities throughout the world by driving social psychological change before anythingelse. “We work with communities that could almost be described as clinically depressed...the despair is sodeep…they feel condemned to this situation,” he says. Heifer uses value-based training to demonstrate topeople their own ability and capacity to make change. “Without that psychological shift, nothing we do, noanimal, no training will actually catch,” he notes. Bell has first-hand knowledge of the success of thismodel in Arkansas. He sources his chickens from Grassroots Farm Cooperative, a cooperative of 10formerly struggling small farms in Little Rock that was formed with the help of Heifer International to meetthe demand of the growing market. “My understanding of Heifer at the time was you buy a cow andsomeone somewhere gets a cow. I didn’t understand this small business component. I didn’t understandit could happen in Arkansas,” says Bell.Heifer International provides resources, capital, and knowledge to help enable small farmers to generatesustainable income, which gets cycled back into their communities creating opportunities for buildingschools, creating agricultural cooperatives, forming community savings and funding small businesses.Ferrari describes a program with female farmers in Nepal which is creating a goat meat value-chain byworking with banks to fund this system. There are now 150,000 women organized into small self-helpgroups, which organize into larger co-ops and then an even larger union. “They are now feeling thedignity of being economically self-reliant,” he concludes. Heifer International measures success by givingpeople a ‘living income,’ which is a carefully calculated value that is “very complicated…but basically letsfarmers live a life of dignity,” says Ferrari. Bell recalls his childhood when parents in his communitycreated an informal system to ensure one little boy growing up in poverty always had food. “A group ofmoms would take turns packing and extra lunch for Daniel, and they would say, ‘Make sure you give thisto Daniel before you get to class, so there’s no stigma,’” he remembers. Growing up on a cattle ranchalso gave him a unique perspective on the food chain. “An understanding of that gives us more empathyinto how we tackle hunger issues worldwide and locally.” Bell’s values led him to become a passionatesupporter of the No Kid Hungry campaign.Get inspired by this sincere discussion about ending hunger and poverty.
