    Silent Earth: Dave Goulson | Ep. 58

    Insects are the often-times invisible workforce that take on planetary care. According to Dave Goulson, author of Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, “they pollinate, break down waste and provide food for us and countless other species. If they vanished tomorrow, the apocalypse would begin the next day.” Today, insect populations are in rapid decline, with estimates of population loss ranging from 40-75% across regions. The main drivers? Habitat loss and widespread use of dangerous chemicals—both of which are linked with industrial agriculture. In this special Real Food Reads episode commemorating the 60th anniversary of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, Anna Lappé speaks with Dave Goulson about agrichemicals, biodiversity, and how we, together, can avert the insect apocalypse. SHOW NOTES 3:52 The importance of insects and the ecosystem services they provide 6:00 An example of insects at work in Australia 9:20 Unknown number of insect species, but we do know that insect populations are on the decline 11:10 Industrialized agriculture is one of the main drivers of the astounding insect decline we have today 13:05 How synthetic fertilizers impact the insect population 17:42 Neonicotinoids (or neonics), the parallel to DDT, and their dangerous lethal and sublethal impacts on insecticides. 24:01 If these chemicals are so dangerous, why hasn’t more action been taken? Where is the world still noisy? 29:15 Where in the world is it still “noisy” and busy with insect biodiversity? 32:30 What we can each do in our own ways to “avert the insect apocalypse”

    The Nutmeg's Curse: Amitav Ghosh Ep. 59

    When we speak of biodiversity loss, the climate crisis, and food injustice, we have to go to the root: colonialism. From the perspective and "voice" of the nutmeg, The Nutmeg’s Curse: Parables for a Planet in Crisis by acclaimed author Amitav Ghosh does just that. Ghosh was born in Calcutta and grew up in India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka and is now based in Brooklyn. He’s the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction including The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable. His most recent book, The Nutmeg’s Curse, opens with the Dutch Empire’s brutal war in the Banda Islands—a small archipelago that’s part of what is now Indonesia—to establish a monopoly on the nutmeg trade. From there, he takes us halfway around the world and back again, weaving together stories of colonial violence, human resilience, and non-human agency. SHOW NOTES: 2:32 | Why European navigators sailed off in search of spices in the 17th century 4:00 | Dutch colonialism and the 1621 Banda Massacre 9:46 | Nutmeg production as the earliest instance of industrial agriculture and racial capitalism (and why it matters) 11:19 | Racialized workforces in agriculture around the world 14:20 | The pleasures of gardening, including growing your own spices 15:15 | How spices came to be devalued (and associated with “onanism”!) 17:40 | On the mysteries of the vanilla plant 20:40 | Environmentalism’s dark history (and present) of ethnic cleansing 22:20 | The role of militarism in transforming food systems and contributing to the climate crisis 23:30 | The Pentagon and other military institutions as the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world, and yet they are excluded from climate negotiations 25:42 | Amitav’s call for a “vitalist politics” DIG DEEPER: Follow Amitav Ghosh on Twitter: @GhoshAmitav Visit his blog: http://amitavghosh.com/blog/ Buy the book: https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/N/bo125517349.html ​​For more on this episode, expanded show notes, and full transcript, visit: https://realfoodmedia.org/portfolio/the-nutmegs-curse/ Join the Real Food Reads book club: https://realfoodmedia.org/programs/real-food-reads/ Become a Patreon supporter for early access to our episodes and premium content with the authors here https://www.patreon.com/realfoodmedia

    Indigenous people make up 5 percent of the global population and steward 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, yet they aren’t centered in most discussions or actions for environmental justice. An Indigenous woman and scientist, Dr. Jessica Hernandez talks about the importance of Indigenous science (and scientists) in her new book Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science. In this conversation, Jessica talks about the importance of Indigenous-led stewardship projects, Black-Indigenous solidarity, and shares the moving story of how she came to the book’s title.

    Endangered Maize: Helen Anne Curry | Ep. 56

    There is a broad consensus around the “endangerment” of crop diversity—among scientists, advocates, policymakers, and corporations, actors who tend to disagree on a number of other issues. But Helen Anne Curry says: not so fast. Where does this endangerment narrative come from? Whose interests does it serve? And what assumptions does it make? Conventional approaches to crop conservation largely center on conserving seeds off-farm in gene banks, as opposed to protecting the livelihoods, communities, and farming systems of the peasants and Indigenous peoples who developed and steward those seeds. In this conversation, Curry delves into the history and science of seed conservation—and its implications for the future of food. SHOW NOTES: 2:23 | What is the “endangerment narrative”? 6:11 | Origins of endangerment in the early history of plant breeding and industrial agriculture 14:35 | Endangerment as an outgrowth of settler colonialist & racist assumptions 19:01 | Defining ex situ (off site) vs. in situ (on site) seed conservation 24:08 | Does diversity change and evolve over time? Is crop diversity inevitably declining or can we think about crop diversity increasing? 28:00 | Crisis thinking or crisis narratives 34:03 | The story of glass gem corn 37:15 | Difference between conventional and food sovereignty approaches to seed conservation DIG DEEPER: To learn more about Helen Anne Curry, visit http://www.helenannecurry.com/ Follow Helen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hacurry Buy the book: https://www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520307698/endangered-maize ​​For more on this episode, expanded show notes, and full transcript, visit: https://realfoodmedia.org/portfolio/endangered-maize-industrial-agriculture-and-the-crisis-of-extinction/ Join the Real Food Reads book club: https://realfoodmedia.org/programs/real-food-reads/ Become a Patreon supporter for early access to our episodes and premium content with the authors here: https://www.patreon.com/realfoodmedia

    Healing Grounds: Liz Carlisle & Aidee Guzman | Ep. 55

    Colonialism is at the root of the problems we see in our food system, and, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently stated, it is also at the root of the climate crisis. By cultivating diversity within the soil and amongst farmers, we can work towards a liberated future. “Healing Grounds: Climate, Justice, and the Deep Roots of Regenerative Farming” by Liz Carlisle shares the stories of Black, Indigenous, Latino, and Asian-American farmers around the United States who are using their ancestral agricultural traditions to heal the soil, build climate resilience, connect with their culture, and create pathways for racial justice. Tiffani’s conversation with author Liz Carlisle and scientist Aidee Guzman highlights what is possible when we focus on diversity above and below ground. SHOW NOTES: 02:25 | The four per mille study and why regenerative agriculture has sparked hope in recent years. 04:35 | What’s possible when you take “regeneration” and regenerative agriculture to heart 06:25 | Aidee Guzman’s research on soil health and habits of bees on diverse farms vs monoculture farms in California’s Central Valley 07:56 | The 450 million year old fungi that helped bring plants to the land. 10:05 | How to support a diversity of farmers and farming techniques 13:53 | History of agroecology in Mexico and how it intersected with the Green Revolution 19:33 | There’s no such thing as a weed 21:35 | For Aidee, there are two distinct worlds of agriculture 25:12 | Reciprocal farm labor practices abroad and in the US 29:40 | How the agricultural industry in the US was designed and why it is extractive today 32:45 | The one thing Liz Carlisle and Aidee Guzman want you to know about climate, justice, and the deep roots of regenerative farming.
