www.cjly.net/deconstructingdinner/090408.htm The diversity in the varieties of crops being grown in Canada has dwindled significantly. Virtually all of the fruits, vegetables, grains, livestock and pretty much every ingredient found on grocery store shelves, is of a variety that has purely been bred for profit. At no time has the importance of maintaining diversity or flavour ever been a concern for the powerful industrial food system that has taken hold of the North American diet. This series will explore what risks accompany the loss of such diversity while on the other hand, expose the many farmers and organizations preserving Canada's heritage varieties of food and protecting our food supply from the control of multinational interests. Part I On Part I, we resurrect Red Fife Wheat, perhaps the most important wheat variety to Canadians. Red Fife fed Canadians for 40 years, yet disappeared as more export-oriented varieties and hybrids took its place. But Red Fife is making a comeback, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency doesn't like it. Is this a chance for the people of Canada to reclaim control over our cultural heritage and challenge the industrial food system? Sharon Rempel thinks so. We also learn more about heirloom (heritage) vegetables. Growing heirlooms is an exciting way to try new and unusual tastes, shapes and colours. But more than that it is an effort to maintain the genetic diversity of our food crops. Many varieties have disappeared forever and there is interest in keeping these older varieties in circulation. Heirlooms, unlike some hybrids, are not grown for their ability to withstand shipping and chemicals or their uniform look at market. They are grown for taste. Audio recorded by Marinko Jareb (St. Catharines) and Andrea Langlois (Victoria) Guests Sharon Rempel - Agronomist, Grassroot Solutions, (Victoria, BC) - Sharon's expertise lies in organic production, seed conservation, 'on farm' wheat breeding and heritage crops. Sharon was the founder of Seedy Saturdays - community seed exchanges held each year across the country. Sharon is the Director of the Heritage Wheat Project. Her most recent project was Canada's first ever Bread and Wheat Festival, held in Victoria on October 27, 2007. Linda Crago, Farmer, Tree and Twig Heirloom Vegetable Farm (Wellandport, ON) - At Tree and Twig Heirloom Vegetable Farm, Linda's specialty and passion is Heirloom vegetables. Linda offers a tremendous selection of heirloom tomato transplants (over 200 varieties), heirloom pepper and eggplant transplants and more. She operates a CSA program, supplies restaurants, and offers mail order across Canada. Linda grows more than 1000 varieties of veggies on an intensively planted piece of land, and does so organically. Music Phil Vernon - Musician, Ãthm Music (Salt Spring Island, BC) - The broadcast marks the radio debut of Red Fife Wheat - a new song recorded just days before this broadcast first aired. The creator of the song is Phil Vernon, a musician based on Salt Spring Island, BC. Phil has lent his musical farming talents to the program on a number of previous occasions. Note: This recording is only a demo. ]]> Fri, 05 Sep 2008 18:42:00 -0400 "Heritage Foods: Preserving Diversity I" (encore) 11290800 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/sustainability-reporting-planning-and-management/11290800/

www.cjly.net/deconstructingdinner/082808.htm Many forms of urban agriculture have existed for thousands of years. As practical and environmentally responsible as growing food within a city can be, the art of gardening has seemingly disappeared in many urban settings. As current farming practices are proving to be unsustainable in the long-term, urban agriculture is looked upon by many as being a critical shift that needs to take place if we are to ensure a level of food security in the near and distant future. Since March 2008, The Farming in the City series has been incorporating a focus on urban backyard chickens. Raising poultry within an urban setting provides eggs, fertilizer, garden help and meat with a minimal environmental footprint. Having suffered decades of disconnection from our food, bringing the farm into the city (and in this case animals), can provide a much needed dose of agriculture and food awareness. It's this very disconnection that has allowed for the appalling conditions now found in factory egg and chicken barns. Episode III Since Part I of the series introduced a backyard chickener defying a municipal bylaw, a Nelson couple has too joined the ranks of Christoph Martens. Not long after Steve and Hazel took up urban backyard chickening themselves, they sought the experience of Martens to teach them the art of slaughtering. Host Jon Steinman returned to Martens home to record the evening meal! And lending his voice once again to the series is Bucky Buckaw and his Backyard Chicken Broadcast. Produced in Boise, Idaho at Radio Boise, Bucky hosts weekly segments on backyard chickening. His experience and knowledge can help guide any urbanite wishing to set up backyard chickens. On this third episode of the series, we listen in on three Bucky segments on the topic of eggs. Guests/Voices Christoph Martens - Backyard Chicken Farmer (Nelson, BC) - Christoph has spent the last three years working towards greater self-sufficiency. He grows food year-round on his small city property and discovered that chickens are, among other benefits, an ideal pest management tool. He accomodates chickens, ducks and rabbits. Christoph believes the long-standing notion that city-life should be separated from farming has run it's course and it's time to move on from this pseudo-royalty . Steve and Hazel - Backyard Chicken Farmers (Nelson, BC) - Steve and Hazel are rookie backyard chicken enthusiasts who now house chickens within a city that does not allowe them Bucky Buckaw - Host, Bucky Buckaw's Backyard Chicken Broadcast (Boise, ID) - Bucky Buckaw gives advice on raising backyard chickens, as just one example of how a locally based economy can work. Through this segment, he informs listeners about the downside of factory farming and what kinds of toxic chemicals you can expect to find in the resultant livestock. He promotes organic gardening and composting, and supporting local farmers. He shares fascinating chicken lore from the millennia that will fascinate even those with no interest in birds. ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 12:18:00 -0400 "Backyard Chickens III (Farming in the City V)" 11151677 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/venturi-eclectic-driving/11151677/

Jeffrey has an historic conversation with former Senator Gary Hart in his offices at The University of Colorado in Denver.  Senator Hart speaks about The Presidential Climate Action Project and what this project can do to address the challenges of global climate change and create a more sustainable way of living for humanity. Today is a fitting release for this show because Barack Obama just delivered his historic acceptance speech to become the official democratic candidate for President of The United States.  Obama s remarkable speech was the culmination for the Democratic National Convention in Denver as he carefully outlined his policies and programs that he will pursue in his administration if elected. Before a huge crowd of democrats and well wishers, Obama drew rave reviews, with comparisons it to the electrifying charisma and content of John F. Kennedy’s acceptance speech in 1960. In his speech, Barack Obama promised to seriously address the issue of global climate change and forever remove American dependence on fossil fuels as the mainstay of energy for this nation. The Presidential Climate Action Project is tailored to reduce carbon emissions in specifically  measurable ways, and we hope that Barack Obama’s campaign will incorporate most if not all of it into his administration once he is elected. Only time will tell. Senator Hart, who was a former presidential candidate himself has been working on this 100 day plan for the next administration to use in putting into effect a specific action plan to address global warming. Other committee members on the Advisory Committee for the project include Jonathan Lash, President of the World Resources Institute, Ray Anderson, Founder and Chairman of Interface, Inc.; Dr. D. James Baker, former Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; Prof. David Orr, Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Oberlin College; Scott Bernstein, Executive Director of the Center for Neighborhood Technology; Hunter Lovins, President of Natural Capitalism Solutions, Inc.; Brian Castelli, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the Alliance to Save Energy; Larry Schweiger, President and CEO of the National Wildlife Federation; April Bucksbaum, Vice President of the Baum Foundation; and Chris Beem, Environmental Program Director of the Johnson Foundation. This is a remarkable interview with one of the worlds great leaders whose efforts to create an environmentally sustainable human future is historical, timely and  guided by the highest of aspirations.  It is an honor to present it to you.

Jeffrey s thought s about the heightened focus on global warming, global climate change and the consciousness supporting sustainability. Time magazine featured  “The Global Warming Survival Guide, 51 Things You Can Do To Make A Difference” on it’s cover a while ago, and now with the presidential elections with Barack Obama and Joseph Biden in full swing against John McCain and his unannounced vice presidential candidate, it will be interesting to see how both the Republican and Democratic party s address the issues of climate change, and whether they follow through with realistic plans to address it. With the continued attention that Al Gore has gotten from his film An Inconvenient Truth, even George Bush has conceded that he too is taking global warming seriously.

Places of unparalleled diversity and incomparable beauty on the path to becoming just memories, rainforests need our protection. Amazonia is part 2 of Rainforest Sanctuary, a series of illustrations about the South American tropical rain forests by Tatiana Arocha. Amazonia comes also with a short motion piece, created for The Green — a Sundance Channel programming dedicated to the environment — and posted here. The author says: "these illustrations are my way of keeping these places alive. It's my way of reminding myself and telling others that they are in need of protection." Tatiana explains how she expresses herself using many mediums: "When I'm creating a motion piece, I think about it as a print piece first; but when I create a print piece I imagine of how it can move." Artwork and animation by Tatiana Arocha. Words by Ismail Soyugenc. Music by Genji Siraisi and Barney McAll. Produced at This is Network. Amazonia è la seconda parte di Rainforest Sanctuary, serie di illustrazioni sulle foreste pluviali del Sud America, opera di Tatiana Arocha.

L'autrice dice: "queste illustrazioni sono il mio modo di mantenere in vita questi posti, di ricordare a me stessa ed agli altri del loro bisogno di essere protetti." Tatiana spiega come il suo esprimersi passi attraverso più media: "Creando immagini in movimento, inizio col pensarle come statiche; ma nel creare immagini statiche immagino sempre come potrebbero animarsi."

www.cjly.net/deconstructingdinner/082108.htm Launching this episode, we travel to Cuba - a country that has over the past 10 years become of increasing interest to those around the world interested in more ecological models of producing food. Contrary to the more voluntary means through which some North Americans have adopted and supported more energy efficient and ecological food choices, in 1989, Cubans had little choice. As a result of the Soviet collapse, Cubans were plunged into a situation whereby conventional models of farming had to be abandoned for more organic models. Deconstructing Dinner correspondent Andrea Langlois travelled to Cuba where she met with Fernando Funes Monzotà - the son of one of the most recognized founders of the Cuban organic agriculture movement - Dr. Fernando Funes Sr. His son has followed in his footsteps and is presently completing his Ph.D on more diversified mixed farming systems at the University of Matanzas. As the past 17 years has proven to be a regeneration of more biodiverse and ecological food production in Cuba, there has, in tandem, also been an increase in the attention paid to biological systems. Just as the circumstances pushing Cuba to more ecological food production have too begun to impact us here in North America, the second half of today's episode will introduce us to some of our smaller friends, who are, and will increasingly, become more important to the production of our food; insects. In March 2008, Deconstructing Dinner recorded a workshop titled Predator, Pollinator, Parasite ; hosted at the 2008 conference of the Certified Organic Associations of BC. Guests Fernando Funes Monzotà - Researcher, University of Matanzas (Matanzas, Cuba) - Fernando Funes is the son of celebrated agricultural figure Dr. Fernando Funes Sr., whose organic farming association was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (otherwise known as the alternative Nobel) in 1999. Fernando Funes Monzote has since followed in his footsteps after graduating in 1995 from the University of Havana. Since then he has worked in one of the research institutions in Cuba's Ministry of Agriculture, and after 13 years of research, is just about finished his Ph.D thesis at the University of Matanzas. His research is on mixed farming systems as part of the University's pasture and forage research institute. Deborah Henderson - Director, Institute for Sustainable Horticulture, Kwantlen University College (Surrey, BC) - Deborah is dedicated to the potential for integrated efforts in conservation biological pest control and sustainable landscaping. Dr. Henderson, along with Kwantlen University Collegeïs School of Horticulture and the Institute for Sustainable Horticulture established a Conservation Biological Control trial Garden, or Bug Garden which will be a valuable resource to provide class materials and a living lab for students to practice horticulture activities and study plants, pests, and beneficial insects and the relationship between them. ]]> Sat, 23 Aug 2008 10:26:00 -0400 "Lessons from Cuba / Employing Insect Farmers" 11079429 http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/convertible-recumbent-bicycle/11079429/
