The food system accounts for about 25% of total greenhouse gas emissions, yet it is commonly left out of discussions about the climate emergency. Over half of the land on this continent is used for agriculture, but rarely do we bring food and farming into landback discussions. As a climate solution, as a nexus of decolonisation, as a battleground for workers' rights and more, food is so close, so ever-present, we can forget to pay attention. There are, of course, exceptions; individual and communities who are working to fix what's fixable, halt what's causing harm, and build better food systems. In this episode, and my next one in a month's time, you will hear from some of these unsung heroes, the farmers and organisers of the food sovereignty movement. This episode is an in-depth feature on Brazil's Landless Workers Movement (MST), a champion of food sovereignty for over 40 years which has been instrumental in its development into a global movement. Ana Chã tells its story, where struggles for land, social transformation and human emancipation converge.  Earth Matters #1502 was produced by Mia Audrey on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people.

Restoring Democracy in the Disinformation Age Access to reliable, accurate information is essential for democracy. From misleading health advice to conspiracy theories, unchecked disinformation risks swaying elections, jeopardising ecosystems, and even inciting violence. In fact, the World Economic Forum ranks misinformation and disinformation the number one short-term threat to humanity and progress.This week on the show, we hear from experts at the Disinformation and Democracy Forum hosted by Australian Democracy Network last month in Narrm (melbourne). It's a timely opportunity to hear from those dealing with the impacts of disinformation, about how we can address the threat while safeguarding free speech, empowering citizens, and holding big tech companies accountable for their role in shaping our democracy.Jane Gardner is the Director of Engagement at the Australian Conservation Foundation. She previously led communications and media at the Climate Council, Save the Children and at the University of Melbourne. Before this, she worked as a daily newspaper reporter.

From tackling climate disinformation, to reporting from the epicentre of the world's largest refugee camp, to coaching the next generation of young climate activists, Jane has enjoyed an interesting career and has many tales to tell. Mark Andrejevic is a Professor at the School of Media, Film, and Journalism at Monash University and is on the board of Digital Rights Watch.

Trump politics, anti-woke rhetoric and Australian climate policy. Wilderness Society takes on Federal Minister for Environment ahead of election. As Trump shockwaves ricochet around the world, we ask how significant is the President's election for future global climate change action? And how is the changing world order affecting the political appetite for climate action at home? In this episode of Earth Matters we hear from Professor Robyn Eckersley, an academic working at the intersection of democratic theory and climate justice. Professor Eckersley shares her reflections on the dangerous trajectory of global democracy and its impact on Australian climate policy. We also hear from former NSW Fire & Rescue Commissioner and international firefighting expert Greg Mullins about the effect of anti-woke politics on climate emergency workers ability to speak out about climate change.And if you're curious as to why the Federal Environment Minister Tania Plibersek has been absent in the Australian election lead-up, our segment on wildlife protection may provide one clue. We speak to Wilderness Society Campaign Director Amelia Young about the Society's legal challenge to force the Minister to act in relation to the recovery of eleven endangered species.Acknowledgements and notes Thanks to LaTrobe University for sharing the recording of their recent panel discussion Climate Change – where are we now?  The discussion was part of a LaTrobe Ideas and Society event that took place on March 17th.  Professor Eckersley and Greg Mullins' comments were based on policies current at that time. Some new policy announcements and changes of policy have been announced since then.  Thanks to the Climate Council for permission to air their election advertisement. You can check out the Climate Council's election report and election scorecard via these links.  Thanks also to Phuong Tran of 3CR for bringing us the story about the Wilderness Society's legal action. For commentary about Australia's endangered wildlife see The Guardian's special series The Last Chance. This week's show is Episode #1497 and was produced by Claudia Craig on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).

Aussie classic Babe turns 30 this year, and its story of the little pig that achieves his dream of being a sheep dog is still as uplifting as the day it premiered. But we can't say "that'll do, pig" when it comes to the science....By now, we know pigs aren't "definitely stupid", but how smart are they? Would an orphaned pig be taken in by a family of dogs? Could a pig really learn to herd sheep? And would Babe really stay so small for so long?Dr Ann Jones sniffs out the porkies Hollywood told us in this poignant pig picture. Featuring:Dr Daryl Sparkes, Senior Lecturer (Media Studies and Production) at the University of Southern QueenslandProfessor Chris Johnson, Ecologist and Conservation Biologist at the University of TasmaniaAssociate Professor Suzanne Held, Behavioural Biology and Animal Welfare at the University of BristolBabe (1995), Universal PicturesProduction:Ann Jones, Presenter / ProducerNat Tencic, ProducerRebecca McLaren, ProducerIsabella Tropiano, additional masteringThis episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the lands of the Wadawarrung, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung, Taungurung, and Kaurna people.If you want to hear more "What the Duck?" episodes- please like and subscribe here.

If you have a fear of getting swooped by magpies, mobbed by seagulls or blinded by crows, perhaps Alfred Hitchcock is to blame.His 1963 horror classic The Birds created a generation of ornithophobes, and played on our fears of death by feathered fiend.

In 1985, a real American black bear consumed a bunch of cocaine that'd been dropped from a plane into the forest, and died.Nearly 40 years later Hollywood stepped in the rewrite the story. What would happen if the bear survived? Maybe it'd go on a coke-fueled rampage.

Quick! Think of a ‘dinosaur movie'. Chances are Jurassic Park (1993) was first to mind.   Steven Spielberg's genetic nightmare/theme park gone wrong classic is so iconic that it inspired a generation of kids to study palaeontology, and reinvented our modern popular idea of dinosaurs. But does that idea still stack up?   Could you really clone a triceratops from DNA found in an ancient mozzie?  Did dilophosaurus really look like a frill-necked lizard?  And aren't dinosaurs supposed to be feathery?   Ann Jones cracks into how Jurassic Park did (and didn't) lie to us. Featuring: Dr Travis Holland, Senior Lecturer in Communication at Charles Sturt University, host Fossils and Fiction Podcast Tim Richards, palaeontologist and PhD candidate in the ‘Dino Lab' at the University of Queensland, presenter of Dino Dome [link] on ABC Kids Listen Associate Professor Cameron Webb, Mosquito Expert, NSW Health Pathology & University of Sydney This episode of What the Duck?! was produced on the lands of the Wadawarrung, Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Kaurna people.If you want to hear more "What the Duck?" episodes- please like and subscribe here.

MELBOURNE FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023 Holly and Sasja came together to discuss Holly's event at the Melbourne Fringe Festival: MY QUEER SPIRITUAL ENTROP HOLLY ROWAN - MY QUEER SPIRITUAL ENTROPY TICKETDates 05 - 13 OctTime 7:30pm, 6:30pm (60 minutes)Venue TIC: SwanstonA spiritual antidote to dogma; for people who just want to be themselves.Sick of people telling you there's one way to live your life? Yeah, Holly too. Come and heal your soul and reclaim your right to be whoever you want to be with My Queer Spiritual Entropy. Full of originality, chaos and colour, this fresh-out-the-womb solo show from British non-binary performer Holly Rowan is a vibrant and daring mash-up of clown, Butoh, spoken word, physical theatre, dance and song... available as an in-person performance.About the artist: Instagram- @hollyrowanarts Holly is an emerging non-binary, multidisciplinary artist and performer whose work sits on the bridge of comedy and personal tragedy. Through a quirky combination of movement and voice, they share vulnerable and personal stories as a means to create conversation about difficult topics and connect people with the core of their humanity. This is their first Melbourne Fringe and debut performance in Australia. They have previously co-directed and performed in London Butoh Dance Company's ‘IRREVERSE' for Wandsworth Arts Fringe in 2022 and was Stage manager and Choreographer for Lancaster Offshoots productions at Edinburgh Fringe ‘Peter Rabbit & Other Tales' 2015 & ‘Hunchback' 2016. Holly is also a facilitator for Queer Space Youth at Drummond Street Services.  ------------------------------- Sasja joined by Sophie Strykowski & Haz Lugsdin, another artists from the Melbourne Fringe Festival, who shared a discussion of their live performance titled "TWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT".  TWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT TICKETDates 05 - 13 OctTime 7:00pm (60 minutes)Venue Mycelium StudiosTWIN FLAME/ DEAD SPIT is a live performance work investigating the ways in which we look at another to look at ourselves. With ten years of deep friendship and chosen kinship, performance makers Haz Lugsdin and Sophie Strykowski embark on an intergalactic voyage to understand their interlocking selves.We all have a gravitational pull. The sun, a chair, and you. I felt that tug. Who put me here? And why are you here too?Haz Lugsdin (They/He) is a trans performer who relishes in gusto, ego and innuendo. Sophie Strykowski (She/They) is an actor and performance maker whose work sparkles fearlessly with a joyous curiosity. Together, they pastiche comedy, performance art, and unbridled joy to glimpse the life practice of world-building together.  About the Artists: Haz Lugsdin / Sophie Strykowski    Instagram - @sp0repunk_ Haz Lugsdin (they/he) is a trans performer making on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. Haz's experience is in devised and collaborative work, rooted in comedy, pastiched with drag, performance art, movement, wordplay and absolute buggery. Haz is invested in developing non-binary ways of making that refuse rigid performance structures; as explored in their three latest 45 minute works; Rising Damp: A Sporepunk unearthing of a queer utopia at La Mama HQ (2022), The (Sour Glitch) Two-Step Refusal at The Flying Nun by Brand X (2021) and 101101001: Dude Where's My Gender at The Giant Dwarf (2020). As a writer, Haz has received mentorship with ATYP as part of National Studio (2020) and Fresh Ink (2021). Haz's work relishes in the illegible and incoherent; centering play and pleasure. He uses performance to make sense of himself and non-sense of the rest. They have a distinct modus operandi of gusto, ego, and innuendo.  Sophie Strykowski (she/they) is a performance maker and actor from Gadigal, currently living on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people. Their devised work reflects their positionality as a queer person, with the intention to dismantle and reimagine perceived truths with earnestness and delight. Sophie has worked across a range of independent and professional stages in Gadigal, including Griffin Theatre and ATYP in Intersection: Arrival (2019), Q Theatre in Originate (2020), Kings Cross Theatre [KXT] in Natives (2022) and Rogue Projects in Taz v. The Pleb (2023). Her work plays with form, combining elements of movement, comedy and experimental theater to ask big questions about the self, love, sexuality and connection. Sophie brings these questions to an audience with sparkling fearlessness and joyful curiosity. ------------------------------- Charaf Tartoussi joined Queering The Air as our third and final guest artist for the Melbourne Fringe Festival. A discussion between Sasja and Charaf about their captivating live performance titled “Aza” Aza: Stories of Grief in Diaspora  TICKET Dates 18 - 22 OctTime 6:00pm, 5:00pm (50 minutes)Venue Festival Hub: Trades Hall - Old Council ChambersA vulnerable exploration of migrant and diasporic grief through storytelling.Aza (Arabic colloq: wake) is a powerful, nuanced portrait of migrant loss.

It is where they come together to heal, and to be healed.In 50 minutes of vulnerable and sincere storytelling, they will move through the motions of their loss and attempt to answer the question: how does grief change when it is experienced in the immigrant diaspora, and how does it stay the same?  Music:Rehab by RihannaMusic by MadonnaYAMA LAYALI by David Vendetta feat Haifa Wehbe National Coming Out Day Event by Queerspace - Drummond Street Services(All LGBTQIA+ People Are Welcome)100 Drummond Street, Carlton, Victoria 3053Wednesday 11 October4pm - 7pm

This conversation with Jem Stone is brimming with heartfelt wisdom and important insights about the wellbeing landscape that we all need to hear and can benefit from to help create inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome and has the opportunity to thrive.  Jem is a change maker, thought leader and trailblazer whose mission is to create safer,  culturally sensitive spaces in the yoga community, the wellbeing landscape and beyond into every day life. The wisdom Jem shares in this conversation will change the way you think about your relationship to the earth and challenge your view of what it means to be well - the mission of this podcast.  To me, expanding our view of wellbeing has to involve the inclusion of First Nations perspectives, the challenges and work to do, the patience and commitment to genuine connection and understanding.  In this conversation we get into what safe spaces look like in the wellbeing world and how we can all benefit from and better appreciate the philisophy and ways of being that kept our Australian First Nations people well for over 80,000 years.   I encourage you to listen to this episode with an open heart and mind and I invite you before you do to consider the Country you are on.   Can you connect deeply to the land?  What gratitude can you hold in your heart today for the space you call home? How can you tread lightly on the land today? And how can you open your heart and mind to find a meaningful path to reconciliation? This episode was recorded on Bunurong and Boon Wuurrung land and Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung land. CORRECTION in this episode incorrectly made reference to the wonderful Sara "Thomas", co-creator of Wayapa Wuurrk - Sara's last name is Jones.  About Jem Jem Stone considers herself an Earth Custodian and acknowledges all her ancestral roots that include: Indigenous Australian from The Bundjalung Nation, Native American, Afro Caribbean, English and Irish.  Working in the wellness industry for over twenty years, Jem is a Wayapa Wuurrk Practitioner, Trainer and Early years learning educator, Rebirthing Breathwork Therapist and Educator and co-creator of Rebirthing Breathwork Australia, She is a Deakin University projects chief investigator, Cultural Consultant, We Al-Li facilitator, and shares Meditation and sound healing.
