One of the biggest impacts we have on this planet, which also happens to have one of the quickest wins associated with appropriate solutions, is land management. Let’s discuss it!

We’re exploring land degradation today – what it is, what can cause it, what the impacts are, and most importantly, what we can do to prevent it!

The soil beneath our feet is valuable in so many ways. And we need to treat it as such. So join us as we discuss this pressing issue facing our beautiful planet.

Soil is as necessary for human life as oxygen. It’s absolutely vital for food security and carbon sequestration. Come explore this undervalued and important resource with us.

Last week we discussed some of the problems with industrial agriculture. As the name implies, it’s all about doing things on a bigger scale, to obtain more of the thing we need: food. On the other hand, sustainable farming draws on a variety of different techniques, and its goal is to produce long-term crops while having minimal effects on the environment, and using resources more efficiently. But there’s a step even further, which is, arguably, what we should be aiming for, and that’s regenerative agriculture.

Today is part one in a 2 part mini-series on agriculture. We’ll be exploring the old and industrial methods versus the new and regenerative methods of food production, to see which route we should be taking into the future. So come with us down to the farm and learn about these different approaches aiming for the same outcome – food production and profit.

Today we’re talking with Morten Sohlberg, co-owner with Min Ye of Blenheim restaurant in New York City, about farm to table dining and sustainability. Located in the West Village, Blenheim is named for their 150 acre Blenheim Hill farm in the Catskills. The farm raises hens, pigs (3 different breeds), and lamb; grows and also forages for their greens; makes maple syrup; and — our favorite –keeps their own bees!

Agriculture is a necessity for life, which is why it is one of the most common professions in the world. Around 27% (2 billion people) of the world’s population are directly involved in agriculture. Over the last

So a few days ago I was privileged enough to go the cinema. My two little ones were at home with their dada, and I felt a lovely sense of independence and quiet as I showed my
