Gareth Wyn Jones on Food Production, Sustainability, & Building a Better World on Our Bellies 10/03/2023

Gareth Wyn Jones on Food Production, Sustainability, & Building a Better World on Our Bellies is a hill farmer in Wales and a passionate advocate for grazing livestock as a means for environment and human health. Gareth’s family has been grateful stewards of the land for 375 years, growing produce and raising livestock. He has been using his media presence to provide honest information about farming in hopes of sending the message that livestock is not the primary source of our environmental woes. He acknowledges the divide between urban and rural and the loss of our connection to the land. The divide creates the opportunity for people to be easily misguided and misled by the people in power.

Paul Wood, AO on Demystifying Lab-Grown Meat & Why it’s a Bad Business Idea 09/19/2023

Paul Wood, AO on Demystifying Lab-Grown Meat & Why it’s a Bad Business Idea There’s lots of buzz around lab-grown meat right now, and you may be thinking, “What is this stuff?” On this episode, I am joined by (Officer of the Order of Australia), who is going to give us a crash course on lab-grown meat, including the process of growing meat from cells, all in inputs involved, actual cost behind production, and the final product results. Paul takes the emotion, ethics, and politics out of the issue by focusing only on the business and technology aspects. Through his analysis, he has come to one conclusion - it won’t work - at least in its current form. There is a lot of work and tech advancement needed to produce cell-based meat at a level to make good on the lofty promise of feeding the world. Succinctly put, the technology works, but the business models don’t. As an immunologist with decades of experience in vaccinations and large-scale fermentation, Paul has an in-depth understanding of what it takes for these tech companies to produce food-grade products and the challenges they are up against.

Dr. James Muecke on the Connection Between Diabetes, Blindness, & Nutrition 08/15/2023

Dr. James Muecke on the Connection Between Diabetes, Blindness, & Nutrition Diabetes is one of the leading causes of vision loss and blindness in adults. And who better to explain the connection between sight and diabetes than an ophthalmologist? has been working as an ophthalmologist in Adelaide, South Australia, for over 30 years. In 2020 he was named for his work with the nonprofit, Sight for All. Shortly before this honor, he began exploring the link between nutrition and eyesight. Now he is using his recognition to spread the message that losing vision to diabetes is not inevitable. Diabetes can be put into remission, and vision can be restored with the help of nutrition and lifestyle interventions. James is currently working on a book that compiles the lessons learned through his work. During this episode, James shares some of his case studies and gives advice to anyone that might be concerned about their vision. Listen in as James and I chat about the two major impacts on the eye in people with diabetes, vision check recommendations, and common barriers to lifestyle changes.

Cole Mannix, President & Founder of Old Salt Co-Op 08/08/2023

Cole Mannix, President & Founder of Old Salt Co-Op If you ever get the chance, go to the Old Salt Festival in Montana. It’s a celebration of people coming together to support land stewardship in Montana. This year I was fortunate to be one of the speakers along with others in the regenerative space, plus regional authors, poets, and musicians. Now that I’ve returned and things have settled a bit, I have Cole Mannix, president and founder of , on the show to talk about his experience with ranching and growing his business. Cole grew up in a ranching family but spent a brief time in Boston pursuing a master's in theology before returning to his ranching roots in Montana. When he returned, he started working for a startup beef cooperative and then became the Associate Director at Western Landowners Alliance. Ultimately, in 2020 he left to begin forming . Cole’s vision for Old Salt is to be “more than a meat company.” It is a regional meat economy with vertically integrated enterprises. The goal is not to produce meat for a national market or to grow big enough to be sold to a larger company. Functioning as a co-op allows for the direct involvement of producers and employees while fostering lasting relationships with customers. Cole and I chat about what it was like growing up in Montana, why we need to create more inefficiencies in the food system, and the future goals for Old Salt Co-op.
