-Grass-Fed Beef for a Post Pandemic World: An Interview with Authors Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger

As Wendell Berry quipped, the “genius” of industrial agriculture was to “take a solution and divide it neatly into two problems.” Nowhere is that better illustrated than in the hopelessly misguided practice of growing grain for ruminants. The transition to regenerative organic agriculture must prioritize grass-fed beef.

As Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger demonstrate in their new book, farmers and ranchers can achieve success with a grass-fed operation in a variety of climates and without a huge capital investment. Because regenerative grazing does not require ownership of a vast land base and expensive equipment, it offers new opportunities for people from a variety of backgrounds to participate in our food system as owners or operators of beef cattle operations.

Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World is not as much of a how-to book as a why-to, can-do, and must-do. It is sure to popularize regenerative organic grazing among a new generation of farmer-foodies dedicated to reviving local economies while providing nutrient-dense food to their communities.

-Frankenfoods & the End of Farming: Derrick Broze & Patrick Wood Unpack Biden’s New Biotech Bonanza

Monsanto designed its first wave of GMOs to expose us to more of their toxic pesticides than ever before. Now merged with Bayer and partnering with synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks, it’s rolling out a second wave of GMOs designed to make farms and farmers obsolete. They used to just tinker with crops and animals. Now they’re genetically engineering microbes to belch out ingredients for 3D-printed “food”. Ironically, their first customers are vegans and other critics of the same polluting factory farm system they’ve profited from since they rolled out their very first GMO, an artificial growth hormone that made cows’ udders swell to painful and unhealthy proportions. In a recent executive order, President Joe Biden promised further support for the Frankenfood industry and directed the EPA, FDA and USDA to devise new biotech-friendly regulatory reforms. To find out what this new executive order means for the food system, we’ll talk with journalist and organizer Derrick Broze of the Last American Vagabond, Freedom Cells and the Greater Reset and author and financial analyst Patrick Wood of Technocracy News.

-From Conservation to Corporate Welfare? A Conversation with the Authors of Bright Green Lies

Are industrial-scale renewable energy technologies any greener than fossil fuels? Are solar, wind, biofuels and hydroelectric energy displacing fossil fuels or just increasing power use, consumption, and the pollution and destruction of the environment? How did the environmental movement shift its political demands from protecting the natural world, and all of its inhabitants, to subsidizing the industrial projects of for-profit corporations? If there are legitimate climate solutions, like the restoration of prairies and forests, or certain regenerative organic agriculture systems, what’s the best way to encourage their adoption? If we focus on the importance of trees and soil in the carbon cycle, are we then minimizing the role of the ocean, its creatures and ecosystems? We’ll discuss these questions with Derrick Jensen, Lierre Keith, and Max Wilbert, the authors of Bright Green Lies, as well as the filmmaker who brought their book to the screen, Julia Barnes.
