Live recorded at Harvard’s 'Let’s Talk About Food' festival – we
host a discussion about “Systems Thinking in Food Production” with
founder of New Entry Farming Project – Jennifer Hashley, and CEO &
Founder of Big Picture Beef – Ridge Shinn ||
Get this. What if I told you it wasn’t the cow that was the
problem, but instead the management shortcuts that are causing
concerning environmental impact. Properly orchestrated food
animal management can actually have a net positive impact on the
climate! That’s right. Despite being counterintuitive to
everything you’ve heard, it’s actually a straight forward leap to
return to natural order. More broadly, it’s just another
example of an awakening to systems thinking on a shrinking planet.
In this 45 minute conversation expert guests will describe a
few different systems thinking scenarios that will drastically
evolve food production to positively impact future food systems,
and our planet.
Sourcing Matters ep. 41: “Systems Thinking in food production”–
live recorded at the “Let’s talk about Food” festival at Harvard
University – looks at harmonizing with more natural systems, and
evaluates better management practice that could be used to produce
our food in the future. Host Aaron Niederhelman will guide the
discussion to cover diverse topics. Not the least of which a
process that’s being used to sequester carbon through reengaging
the natural system of our living soils – on the hoof.
Additionally, one of the most under valued workforce in food
production – pollinators. And, it’ll be a conversation that
clearly detail how what you eat is the most impactful vote you have
to positively benefit your health and that of your family, to
increase global stability and to mitigate climate change.
So, If you’re an environmentalist, a humanitarian, a patriot, a
doctor, or even that you just want to look and feel better –
tune-in and learn how your grocery budget can change the world.
