Jìgìjìgì is an Afrikan-Centered Podcast that seeks to encourage other Afrikans to learn more about growing plants, food, soil, and their soul. We want to get our hands and minds dirty detailing the Afrikan relationship with the soil. We continually ask and answer the question, "How did you grow while you grew tomatoes, peppers, kale, and melons?" Building healthy soil builds a healthy soul and we share stories on how to do both. Expect episodes to contain wisdom, tips, and actionable advice from Afrikan Agriculturalists for how to improve "blacken" your green-thumb. An apt DMV proverb is "There is no culture without Agriculture." We find that to be very true here at Jìgìjìgì.

    Dr. Isaac Zama 1:53:16What is one question I wish asked me that could would I eat something that came out of poop?







    MO 1:53:35Okay, would you eat something that came out of poop?







    Dr. Isaac Zama 1:53:38Absolutely. Because you know what? Poop is very, very organic. Absolutely. Because poop comes from the human body. Except it is mixed with external organisms. That is when it becomes dangerous. But just coming out from you is not dangerous. I’ll give an example. When we’re growing up, when you go to the farm, and you’re bitten by a snake, your mom or your dad, they will force you, you pee. And do you drink that pee right there. And as soon as you drink that pee in neutralizes the venom of the snake. Yes, oh yes. Wow. Your mom though.

    MO 1:07:03So now we get to our third question. How have you grown while growing all that you got growing on? Meaning? How has your well being improved? By being in the soil?







    Dr. Isaac Zama 1:07:19Oh, the for that there’s absolutely no question that eating natural food, or eating organic food improves your health? There’s no, there’s no question about that. You don’t need to have gone to school to know that. You remember, our parents us would stay up to the 100 years? For the night? Yeah. Why? Because they were eating natural organic food. So organic food is natural medicine in itself. So you know,

    Urban Agriculture and Climate Change: “The New Normal”

    Urban Agriculture and Climate Change: “The New Normal”









    Join Instructor Mason Trappio to gain an understanding of how climate change affects the urban farmer and the growth of new crops. This course informs the urban and peri-urban farmer about how climate change affects them and provides strategies for how to successfully adapt.







    Our growing environments are affected, to varing degrees, by climate change. Increased temperatures, greenhouse emissions, and insect populations all challenge our farming operations. In this course, you will gain an understanding of how climate change affects the urban farmer, and new crops to grow in this New Normal.







    Credentials Earned: This a noncredit stand-alone course.







    What You Will Learn:







    – How climate change can impact farming operations







    – How to use cover crops to mitigate climate change







    – How to use climate-smart crops in the face of climate change







    Link to the slides.

    All right, so let’s begin. Objectives, you will gain an understanding of the myriad effects climate change is having on the urban and semi urban farmer. Will learn some suggested solutions to the potentially negative effects of climate change, and Will share some tested varieties of common crops capable of handling the changing climate.







    The future ain’t what it used to be is a the title of a very popular song from 1977 with very somber lyrics could also be the title for Climate Change scenario that we are facing today. The changes that we are expected to see or hear the last decade was the hottest on record, thanks to global warming. According to expert experts at the National Oceanic administration, Atmospheric Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.







    At the University of the District of Columbia, a land grant university, our primary focus is on addressing the very critical questions related to urban agriculture. If you set aside the jokes about it, one thing is for sure, Mother Nature always bats last. Her batting average is very good these days. My personal identification and interaction with the change in climate occurred in the 90s. While running a very small certified organic farm in Jessup, Maryland. I noticed that the early spring rains were extremely excessive. scientists agree that the earth is getting warmer every year is warmer than the previous year. Also, if you are very in tune farmer, you have probably noticed that the frost free seed...

To do both, we ask two questions. How do you grow while you grow kale, collards, tomatoes, melons? And why do you think the healthiest soils are black?







    We’re so excited today to have Charlie Southward on. I came across Charlie on his Instagram page ighgardens in God’s hands. It is Gardens is the is just the username. And like we were just talking about right before the show,







    Charlie had been growing the largest greens that I had ever seen. And I remember that he had one one particular picture which we may use for the show of him with a huge bag of blood meal or bone meal. And I asked him about it and and he was telling me that that was at that point in time that that was the key. And so and and as in talking, I also found that the Charlie is quite proficient; I don’t know if he’s has the has the official title of the pitmaster. But Charlie, Charlie’s the man when it comes to these ribs. So I’m excited to meet Charlie in the future and in person and to taste those ribs and everything like that. I’m really excited to have him on the show. And so I say, welcome.
