    What an ecologist eats in the age of climate change with Mark J. Easter, author of "The Blue Plate"

    Hey folks, welcome to the latest episode of the You Can’t Eat Money podcast, we’re excited to have you at our table.  Joining us this week is Mark J. Easter, an ecologist with decades of experiences who wrote a really amazing book published by Patagonia that just hit book shelves called “The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Chaos”. Mark is no lightweight, he has authored or co-authored more than 50 scientific papers and reports related to the carbon cycle and the carbon footprint of agriculture, forests and other land uses and in 2018 was named a fellow at the Colorado State University School of Global Environmental Sustainability. What surprised me most about Mark’s book is that I think a scientist has written one of the most deeply human books about the intersection of our food system and climate change. It is full of verified and peer reviewed research, but doesn’t miss the people at the center of this story. And I think we’ve brought that humanity into this episode.  Mark and I talk about the privilege we have to be able to think about and explore food the way we do. We also discuss the cultural aspect of how what we eat is being hit by climate change. The family traditions and recipes that have been passed down through generations that we can’t easily give up, even as we find out that ingredients have a known negative impact on our climate or for some ingredients might not be able to be grown at the same levels as in the past or in the same regions due to changes in climate. As Mark points out, nobody wants to be made to feel guilty about their food choices, especially those dishes are close to the heart.  But all is not lost. Mark shares the promise for eaters and producers of regenerative agriculture practices and gives us a great summary of what a climate-friendly food system looks like and how it will take all of us to make change happen.  Huge thanks to Mark for joining us. I actually read his book twice and found it both enjoyable and informative, so I recommend you visit your local book shop or bookshop.org and pick up a copy today.  Without further delay, here is the latest episode of the You Can’t Eat Money podcast with Mark J.

  2. For the Love of the Sea and Community with Francois Beyers, Câr-y-Môr

    For the Love of the Sea and Community with Francois Beyers, Câr-y-Môr

    This episode is one that has been in the works for a few months and I am stoked to finally share it. Back in June, Patagonia launched its campaign to end bottom trawling in our oceans with a series of incredible films about people and businesses taking action to guard our seas. Patagonia held an event in London to premiere these films and that's where I discovered Câr-y-Môr and one of its founders Francois Beyers. At the end the Q and A, Francois made a powerful speech about his passion for the oceans and the solution he is working on with Câr-y-Môr. At that moment, I knew I had to get him on the podcast. Câr-y-Môr is a community owned and operated regenerative ocean farming operation on the coast of Wales that is rediscovering the traditional Welsh connection with seaweed while also using it to restore ocean ecosystems. The name Câr-y-Môr translates to For the Love of the Sea, which is also the title of the film Patagonia created about it. Câr-y-Môr is an incredible business powered by an incredible community. I am very thankful to Francois for taking the time to chat and to the Patagonia team who created space for people to find about about the business and connect around a shared passion for the oceans, as well as delicious and nutritious seaweed and other ocean products.

  3. Cooking is an Environmental Act with Chef Dan Hunter, Brae

    Cooking is an Environmental Act with Chef Dan Hunter, Brae

    Chef Dan Hunter is the chef owner of Brae in Australia, which is coming up on its 10 year anniversary in December later this year. Many of you might have come across Dan and Brae in Zac Efron's Netflix show Down to Earth. If you haven't, Brae is a restaurant with guest rooms located on a 23 acre organic farm about 90 minutes from Melbourne in an area where dinosaurs once roamed as Dan put it. In those 10 years, Brae has appeared on the World's 50 Best list along with earning Three Hats, which means that it is one of the very best restaurants in Australia and the world. In the episode we touch on Dan's journey to opening Brae including swearing off living in a country town like the very one Brae is located in when he was 18 to being inspired by the farm and restaurant relationship during his time working in Spain. What I think is most striking is Dan's genuine connection to his ingredients. He has a real land ethic that I am sure folks like Aldo Leopold and Wendell Berry would approve of. The way he speaks of his connection to the land and appreciation of what it produces is incredibly inspiring. We end with a a great tip on how you can cultivate this connection for yourself even if you don't live on a farm or run a restaurant. This is a really special episode and I feel incredibly thankful to Dan for his transparency and knowledge.

    Empowering People to Create Sustainable Change with Melina Shannon-DiPietro of MAD

    Every week, I say how excited I am about the guest. And I mean it every week but maybe I mean it just a little bit more this week - Melina Shannon-DiPietro is the Executive Director of MAD. MAD was started by Rene Redzepi of restaurant noma in 2011 to empower the global hospitality industry to create sustainable change and transform food systems for the future. However, Melina’s relationship with the food and environment space actually starts prior to that when she was the co-founder and executive director of the Yale Sustainable Food Project. She’s a true pioneer when it comes to exploring the relationship people have with both the planet and the food they eat. This episode covers a lot of ground from the MAD Academy that trains hospitality industry professionals in leadership and environmental sustainability to MAD’s foraging app and how we can create a more diverse and inclusive conversation around environmental responsibility and food.

    Pioneering a Farm to Glass Model with Alex Francis, Little Red Door Paris

    The latest episode of the podcast is with Alex Francis, the Director of Bars at Little Red Door in Paris. If you've never heard of Little Red Door before, it is not just one of the world's best cocktail bars, it is also one of the world's most sustainable. And both are a testament to Alex's work in shaping Little Red Door's transition to a farm to glass model, which helped land him on the Bar World 100 list for 2023 from Drinks International. You've probably heard of farm to table. In fact, we've talked to Chef Dan Barber on the podcast, who helped shape and popularize that movement. Alex is doing that for the bar world. By engaging in direct trade with producers and making 70 to 80% of the liquid it serves in house, Little Red Door creates a cocktail experience unlike any other. This also allows Little Red Door to produce cocktails that feature produce in a way that you've probably never experienced.

  6. Building A Food System without Waste Douglas McMaster, Silo

    Building A Food System without Waste Douglas McMaster, Silo

    The latest episode of the You Can't Eat Money podcast is with Douglas McMaster, creator of Silo, the world's first zero waste restaurant located here in London and home to one of the most tasty and thought provoking meals I've ever had. I've wanted to have Douglas on the podcast for a while after reading his incredible book 'Silo: The Zero Waste Blueprint'. The book it reminds me of most is Yvon Chouinard's book 'Let My People Go Surfing'. It's part instructional guide with great information and part philosophy book. It covers how Silo came to be, how it operates today and the vision Douglas has for the future of our food system. He is truly an innovator and I think much of this podcast is applicable to anyone looking to shake up a broken system with some new ideas. We touch on many of those items and a few more like the Zero Waste Cooking School he started, tips for how you can become a more mindful eater and home cook, and the Invasive Species Dinner series at Silo, which features items like Japanese knotweed, grey squirrel and the feisty American Signal Crayfish. A huge thanks to Douglas for taking time to chat. It was a real honor and if you are ever in London and have never been to Silo, make a reservation. Make sure to reserve seats at the bar to get a glimpse at the inner workings of one of the most inventive, creative restaurants on the planet.

  7. Climate Crisis Fighting Beer and More with Paul Lightfoot, Patagonia Provisions

    Climate Crisis Fighting Beer and More with Paul Lightfoot, Patagonia Provisions

    After a little bit of a break, we are back with new episodes of the You Can't Eat Money podcast. We have an incredible lineup of guests this season and we're starting off with the general manager of a company that has been on my dream guest list since I started the podcast about a year ago - Patagonia Provisions. Paul Lightfoot is about a year into his gig as the general manager of the food arm of Patagonia and joins us to talk about a range of issues when it comes to ecologically responsible eating and food production. A good chunk of the conversation focuses on the the launch at the end of June of Patagonia Provision's latest beer - Kernza Lager. Kernza Lager is being launched with 'A Good Grain Collective', a coalition of 11 of America's best craft beer breweries including heavy hitters Sierra Nevada, Allagash and Russian River, as well as a personal favorite of mine from my time in Los Angeles - Topa Topa. Each is creating their own unique expression using Kernza, a perennial grain that comes with a raft of climate crisis fighting benefits. But this episode has something for everyone. We talk about regenerative agriculture and specifically the Regenerative Organic Certified Kernza that Patagonia Provisions is helping create a market for. We also talk about how the business supports farmers and balancing a local connection to our food with a globalized food system. If you believe as Patagonia Provisions does that Eating is Activism, this episode is for you. As I mentioned in the episode, the Patagonia parent brand has a great campaign going on now to end bottom trawling, which is destroying our ocean ecosystems and has severe impacts on our ocean food chain. You can find that petition in the links below. And if you enjoy the episode, please don't forget to give us a rating in your favorite podcast app, it really helps more people find the podcast and become more ecologically responsible eaters.
