Who are the modern day robber barons of our food system?

“At least 100 years ago, the last robber barons, we got nice libraries out of it. This one, it’s like ‘oh, what is the family using its money for? To gut public education via charter school networks?’ It’s kind of Machiavellian–it’s Machiavellian in a really sad way”This week on the show, I’m talking with Austin Frerick, the author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry. Frerick uncovers the sometimes shocking facts about seven large companies who play an outsized role in our nation’s food system.

New Growth cultivates a sustainable local food system

“And that’s why we call it a food value chain.You know, it’s a supply chain but it’s based on the values that you have as far as how the land is treated, how people are treated, what kind of nutrition contents in your food–all those things [that] people up and down–from the farmer to the consumer have an interest in. And so, this system that we’re developing is about addressing those values and making sure they happen.”This week on the show, an uplifting conversation about organizations and coalitions working together for stronger rural economies and robust local food systems.

For owners and for labor, restaurants are difficult

“When you have to make those decisions do you buy the nicest ingredients to make your food, since that’s why people are there? Or do you pay your employees two dollars more an hour? Or do you rent the building that’s gonna put you in the location that gives you the highest chance of success? I think that in many ways restaurant owners have one of the most complicated business owning ventures that you can think of. They are balancing so many different goals in one space.”Today we’re talking with geographer Jennifer Watkins about restaurants–about owners, workers, customers and how precarious the whole industry appears to be in this moment.

Rotational grazing and perennial pastures

"...one of which is sorghum sudan grass, and if you don't mow that, it gets to be like ten feet tall. And so we had pigs that were running through there, that reminded us of the velociraptors in Jurassic Park–you know, you can't see the animal, you just see the top of the plant waving back and forth. And so we were always on safari when we had to go out and do pig chores."This week on the show, we visit Nightfall Farm, a livestock farm in Southern Indiana focused on sustainable agriculture.We talk about perennial pastures, rotational grazing and what farmers can learn when they listen to their animals.

Planted Bloomington is a food truck with a vision

“Animal agriculture creates more greenhouse gas emissions than all transportation combined. Yet, as individuals we’re often told ‘you should take public transportation and ride bikes,’ all of which are good things but not very frequently are we told, ‘let’s reduce our consumption of animal products, and that will have a tremendous impact on the environment.’This week on the show, Toby Foster talks with the creators of Planted, a local plant-based food truck and catering operation in Bloomington, Indiana. We learn about their inventive, plant-based menu and their commitment to sustainable practices.We have an interview with Julie Guthman about the troubled strawberry industry and we wrap up the show with a recipe for pickled carrots.

What does diet culture have to do with racism? [replay]

“Speaking directly to Black women and wanting Black women to know that their bodies are not the problem.

Insect drama in the coffee field

“When the phorids arrive, the ants release a pheromone that tells their nest mates, all the other ants that are in the vicinity, their sisters that are in the vicinity, tells them ‘Careful! The phorids are here! You better go back to your nest or get paralyzed.’”This week on the show, we get to nerd out on insects with Ivette Perfecto who studies biodiversity and agroecology.
