Future Pebble Mine site or protecting one of the world’s last – and largest wild salmon fisheries?

If built, Pebble would be one of the largest mines in the world. Because of its size, geochemistry and location, Pebble runs a high risk of polluting Bristol Bay, one of the world’s few and most productive wild salmon strongholds that supports a $500 million commercial and sport fishery. For this reason, Trout Unlimited is working with a diverse group of fishermen, guides, lodge owners, Alaska Natives, scientists, chef, restaurant owners, seafood lovers and many others to try to stop the Pebble development and to protect Bristol Bay.

His approachable books take the intimidation out of cooking for those new to the kitchen or grill.

Dave’s suggests that substituting occurs when an ingredient is unavailable or when a cook wants to change a flavor. Substitutes for things like Agave syrup, sumac are among the harder to find, whereas a substitute for baking powder is good when one runs out of it.

Blue Plate Special hosts Kurt and Christine Friese talk to James Peterson about his new book Meat: A Kitchen Education.

Pantry Raid: Mealtrain.com and food for shut-ins of all sorts. What to bring when taking food to friends and family recovering from illness or childbirth, to seniors who need help preparing meals? How to make it easy, tasty and not too heavy.

James Peterson is the winner of six James Beard awards, a photographer, a chef and cooking instructor and his newest book is Meat: A Kitchen Education. In it he discusses techniques for cutting, preparing and cooking a variety of meats, encouraging a more critical tasting to recognize high quality meats. We talk about the ethical issues of meat eating and the proper method for cooking a terrific hamburger.

Do you ever struggle with what to take to people who are recovering: from surgery, childbirth or grief? Do you handle some food duties for seniors? There is a great website that can organize the volunteers so that not all the food arrives at once and so that the person’s tastes and health needs are clear. We talk about some ideas for healthy, light but tasty foods that are also portable and easy to prepare.

Welcome to Smart Food, the Edible Radio podcast hosted by Jane Black. Jane's guest today is Debra Eschmeyer, co-founder of Food Corps.

On April 21, 2009, President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The law expanded national service programs and sparked an idea for a new one: Food Corps, a program that will place paid volunteers across the country to help connect farms to schools. Debra has long advocated for farm-to-school programs, arguing that they not only help schools provide healthier meals but that they help create larger, stable markets for small and new farmers. On this episode of Smart Food, Debra explains how Food Corps will help bring local food to schools and why spreading the good-food message beyond the farmers-market crowd is so important.

FOODCORPS:
FoodCorps is a new national service organization seeking young leaders for a year of paid public service to build school gardens, teach kids about healthy food, & help change what’s for lunch.

Welcome to Smart Food, the Edible Radio podcast hosted by Jane Black. Jane's guest today is Brady Konya, co-founder of Middle West Spirits.

The technical definition of vodka is that it is liquor that is colorless, odorless and flavorless. So does it really matter how it is made?

Brady Konya, the cofounder of new artisan distillery Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio, says yes. Last July, Brady, and his partner Ryan Lang, unveiled their first vodka, called OYO. It's made with soft, red winter wheat that is grown just 25 miles from their Columbus distillery, then mashed, fermented and distilled with the specific intent of developing a unique character: a smooth, full-bodied liquor that can be sipped neat, like a good whiskey or bourbon. On this episode of Smart Food, Brady explains why he began making artisan spirits and the secrets to flavorful, distinctive vodka.

How do you build a local food system? It's a complex, and sometimes controversial question. But on this episode of Smart Food, we try to get to the bottom of it with Leslie Schaller, who for 25 years has helped to build a vibrant local food system in Athens, Ohio. As program director for ACEnet, the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks, Leslie helped to establish a commercial kitchen for food entrepreneurs and markets for their products – at farmers markets, local restaurants, even the local Kroger. There may not be one right answer. But on this program Leslie outlines her steps to success and gives advice about how to launch a local food system.

No one has done more to introduce the world to the authentic, flavorful cuisines of Mexico than deceptively diminutive Diana Kennedy. Acclaimed as the Julia Child of Mexican cooking, Kennedy has been an intrepid student of Mexican foodways for more than fifty years and has published several classic books on the subject, including The Cuisines of Mexico, The Art of Mexican Cooking, My Mexico, and From My Mexican Kitchen. Ms. Kennedy was awarded the Order Of The Aztec Eagle, by the Government of the Republic of Mexico for her contributions to the documentation of regional Mexican cuisine. The Aztec Eagle is the Mexican equivalent of a knighthood for non-Mexicans.

At 87 years old Kennedy now brings us an astonishing body of work in Oaxaca al Gusto. The fruit of decades of labor, it is an irreplaceable record of a people, place and food, and the culmination of Diana Kennedy's life's work.

The state of Oaxaca is one of the most bio-diverse in Mexico, with many different cultural and linguistic groups often living in areas difficult to access. Each group has its own distinctive cuisine, some of the most colorful flavors in the world. Diana Kennedy has spent decades rumbling up dirt roads and traversing the length and breadth of Oaxaca to record in words and photographs "these little-known foods, both wild and cultivated, the way they were prepared, and the part they play in the daily or festive life of the communities I visited."

Welcome to Victual Reality, the Edible Radio podcast about food politics hosted by Grist writer Tom Philpott. Tom's guest today is Jim Thomas of ETC Group.

I try to stay at the cutting edge of developments in global food politics. But try as I might, I always find myself about five years behind ETC Group, a kind of activist think-tank that promotes the rights of small-scale farmers worldwide against the power of large agribusiness. While I try to tease out the implications of widespread use of genetically modified organisms in the food system, ETC (pronounced “etcetera”; full name: “Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration) churns out penetrating, impeccably documented analyses of things like nanotechnology and synthetic biology: other corporate owned technologies that benefit from government research support and lax regulation. A couple of weeks ago, I penned a critique of cellulosic ethanol, the latest “green” tech fix that’s supposed to keep our vast fleet of cars on the road. Jim Thomas, one of ETC’s crack researchers, emailed me to let me know that he had just come out with a report on just that topic: The New Biomasters: Synthetic Biology and The Next Assault on Biodiversity and Livelihoods.

Sure enough, Jim’s analysis was approximately five years ahead of mine. So I invited him onto the show. Listen and learn.

Jane's guest today is Rodney North of Equal Exchange.

No matter how much you love chocolate, you probably feel a little guilty about eating it. Too many calories, too much fat and, especially at this time of year, just too much chocolate. Period. But there's another reason that eating a lot of chocolate might weigh on your conscious: the way it is produced. Despite almost ten years of commitments from major chocolate companies, abusive child labor, human trafficking, and forced labor continue to plague the West African cocoa industry, which accounts for 70 percent of the world's supply. On this episode of Smart Food, fair-trade cooperative Equal Exchange's Rodney North talks about the politics of chocolate and how enjoy it – guilt-free -- this holiday season.

Jane's guest today is Diane Flynt of Foggy Ridge Cider.

Hard cider was once the most popular drink in America. But after Prohibition, it all but disappeared, replaced by beer made with cheaper wheat and hops. Now, thanks to artisans like Diane Flynt, cider is making a comeback.

Diane, a former banker, was drawn to cider because, well, grapes didn't grow well on her farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. But as she explains, the process of making cider is similar to winemaking. The fruit must have a balance of sugar, acidity and tannins. Today, Diane makes three ciders, all from heirloom apples. On this episode of Smart Food, Diane discusses the renaissance in American cidermaking and why cider might be the perfect beverage for the Thanksgiving table.

Graduating with a degree in economics and finance from Bentley College in 1993, Amanda first studied cooking in Europe, and with a grant from Les Dames d'Escoffier, she worked in bakeries and restaurants in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France.

After finishing her first book, in 1997, Amanda was hired as a food reporter and later became the food editor for The New York Times. At age 36, Amanda surprised the food world when she took a buyout from the Times in order to start her own internet venture: www.food52.com.

Amanda has recently just finished the New York Times Cookbook. She excavated more than a century's worth of recipes from the newspaper's archives for an account of the evolution of American cooking, it's enormous, 900 pages, and brilliantly written. Her Food52.com project is the perfect synergy of blogging and community, a coup that her naysayers simply didn’t have the capacity to imagine. The lesson here is to never underestimate a woman with a sharp mind, a sharp knife and a degree in economics!

Welcome to Smart Food, the Edible Radio podcast hosted by Jane Black. Jane's guest today is Kate Collier.

Kate Collier’s dream was never to get into the food distribution business. In 2002, she and her husband Eric founded a gourmet store, Feast, in their home town of Charlottesville. But as she sourced the local chocolates, cheese, meat and produce, Kate became increasingly attuned to small producers’ need for bigger markets. About two years ago, she suggested that someone set up a distribution hub for small farmers. Everyone agreed it was important -- and they nominated her to do it.

Collier’s non-profit, the Local Food Hub, celebrates its first anniversary this year. Though it's still not profitable, it's more than quadrupled its weekly revenue and has attracted public schools, the University of Virginia, even distribution behemoth Sysco as customers. On this episode of Smart Food, Kate talks about the Hub’s efforts, lessons learned and how it hopes to become a model for local food hubs around the country.

“Downey’s anthem to the rain could do for the backyard and the water table --and therefore, let’s hope, for the Earth and its inhabitants-- what the “Joy of Cooking” did for the kitchen, or what “The Joy of Sex” did for the bedroom. It’s one of those rare how-to books that, by way of the author’s wit, warmth, and passion, converts practical wisdom into a kind of transformational incantation.”

Since then, their beautiful, functional, and ecological projects have popped up regularly in prominent publications from Su Casa to Sunset.

Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, is hosted by Tom Philpott. Tom's guest today is Nancy Rabalais.

Every year, excess fertilizer from Midwestern farms leaches into streams and eventually into the Mississippi River, which carries it down to the Gulf of Mexico. There, it feeds a giant algae bloom, which, as it dies as decays, sucks oxygen out of the water. The result is a massive area unsuitable for fish -- a vast dead zone in what should be one of the globe’s most productive aquatic ecosystems. Scientists from the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) journey through the Gulf each summer in a ship measuring the dead zone. They recently completed their verdict: this year’s dead zone is one of the largest ever. (Gulf Hypoxia Report: PDF.) In this edition of Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, I talk to Nancy Rabalais, executive director of LUMCON and leader of the annual expedition. We talk the importance of oxygen for fish habitats, why agriculture reform is key to reversing the trend of ever-larger dead zones, and more.

Welcome to Smart Food, the new podcast hosted by Jane Black. Jane's guest today is Paul Greenberg.

As we’ve all realized over the last decade, where your food comes from a far more complicated question than it should be. But fish are confusing, even the most dedicated, ethical eater. One reason, as Paul Greenberg points out in his new book "Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food," is most of us know so little about the oceans. Fish, he writes, are “a crop harvested from the sea that magically grew itself back every year, a crop that never required planting."

"Four Fish" traces how salmon, sea bass, cod and tuna became the most popular varieties of seafood, available everywhere, all year round. It also examines the future -- if there is one -- for wild fish. In this interview, Greenberg explains what individuals can -- and can't do -- to protect wild fish and the positive steps being made in modern aquaculture.

Editors note: We're excited to announce that Gary Nabhan is speaking at Edible Institute 2012! For more information and to purchase tickets click here: Edible Institute 2012.

Edible Radio host and publisher of Edible Santa Fe, Kate Manchester, talks to Gary Nabhan.

My guest today is Gary Nabhan, he’s an ethnobotanist , and a Research Social Scientist at the SW Center at the U of Az. He’s also a writer, lecturer, food and farming advocate, rural lifeways folklorist, and conservationist. Gary is the founder of RAFT, Renewing American Food Traditions, and he’s here today to talk about his recent trip to the Gulf, and what we can all do to pitch in and help out our neighbors in the Gulf region.

We all understand how the oil spill in the Gulf affects the seafood industry, the countless families and individuals who count on the sea for their livelihoods. We’ve spent more time than we’ve wanted to in the last few months facing the devastation of our precious sea. But what about the longer-term impacts that affect not only the seafood industry, but farmers, market gardeners, gator hunters, crawfish harvesters, and sassafras foragers as well? It’s estimated that some of the rural parishes of the Gulf Coast have already lost five out of ten residents in their communities due to out-migration following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; if the current closures of fisheries trigger further out-migration, then rare heirloom seeds, fruits, and tubers will be abandoned in gardens, orchards, and storage sheds without anyone to grow or eat them.

Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, is hosted by Tom Philpott. Tom's guest today is Ken Meter.

Ken Meter is probably our foremost thinker on the role of food in creating robust local and regional economies. I first encountered him at a Community Food Security Coalition conference in Atlanta in 2005, where he gave a presentation that forever changed the way I look at agricultural economics. Ken showed that over and over again, in ag-intensive regions across the country, large-scale commodity farming is a net economic loser for farmers and their surrounding communities. He demonstrated that in areas such as the Corn Belt, farmers typically spend more money buying inputs and servicing debt than they bring in selling their crops—and federal commodities subsidies don’t make up the difference. Moreover, right in the middle of some of the world’s most fertile land, almost all the food consumed by Corn Belt residents is trucked in from outside the region—and almost all the region’s food dollars flow out. Add it all up, Ken shows, and industrial agriculture extracts wealth from farming communities and delivers it to input suppliers (think GMO seed giant Monsanto) and grain buyers (think grain traders like Archer Daniels Midland and industrial-meat companies like Tyson).

In part one of my podcast with Ken, we talked about how we got our current farm system, drawing on Ken’s experience as a agriculture journalist in Minnesota during the farm crisis of the 1980s. Next week, we look at the alternative systems sprouting up all over the country—and how food can be used a tool for building wealth in communities, not just extracting it.

Ken is the director of Minneapolis-based Crossroads Resource Center. His pioneering study of the farm and food economy of Southeast Minnesota, Finding Food in Farm Country, can be found here (pdf download); and the rest of her publications can be found here (Publications: Rural Economic Studies).

Say hello to Smart Food, the new podcast hosted by Jane Black. Our inaugural guest is Michel Nischan.

Michel is well-known as a chef. He's cooked for 30 years at four-star restaurants in New York and elsewhere and now owns Dressing Room in Westport Connecticut. But he's becoming increasingly recognized for his work as a good-food advocate. He is the CEO of Wholesome Wave, a non profit that works to bring fresh fruits and vegetables to low-income communities and create new markets for small and medium-sized farmers.

In today's program, Michel and I talk about Wholesome Wave's signature double-voucher program, which allows recipients of food stamps and other food assistance to double their money when they buy food at farmers markets, plus a new, innovative pilot that allows doctors to prescribe fresh fruits and vegetables to families. Michel explains how he hopes to create a model for states and the federal government to bring better food to people at more affordable prices.

Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, is hosted by Tom Philpott. Tom's guest today is Susan Kegley.

In the waning days of the Bush Administration, the EPA executed what will likely go down as the single most egregious decision in its not-always-stellar history: ignoring strong warnings from independent scientists, it approved use of a pesticide so toxic that scientists had previously used it to induce cancer in tissue samples. The chemical, a fumigant called methyl iodide, swiftly went into use in states with significant production of fruit, mainly strawberries. (I chronicled the twisted tale on Grist at the time.) But one key strawberry-growing state held out: California, which subjected methyl iodide to a separate review process. Again, independent scientists cried foul; but now, the state stands on the verge of approving methyl iodide.

In this week’s Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, I talk to Susan Kegley, organic chemist and long-time science guru for California-based Pesticide Action Network of North America. Susan explains how this stubborn chemical keeps repelling scientists and gaining favor from politicians--and the next steps in the fight to keep it out of America’s fruit fields. To keep up with the story, follow my work on Grist and check Panna’s website, Panna.org.

Victual Reality, the podcast about food politics, is hosted by Tom Philpott. Tom's guest today is Maryn McKenna.

Maryn McKenna is arguably the premier U.S. public health journalist. Not many of her rivals on the beat can boast a bio like this:

Maryn McKenna’s newsroom nickname is Scary Disease Girl, and she earned it. She has reported from inside a field hospital in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, a village on Thailand’s west coast that was erased by the Indian Ocean tsunami, a CDC team investigating the anthrax-letter attacks on Capitol Hill, a graveyard within the Arctic Circle that held victims of the 1918 flu, a malaria hospital in Malawi, and a polio-eradication team in India. She helped uncover the first cases of Gulf War Syndrome and trigger the first Congressional hearings on the illness, and her stories on a small Midwestern town’s cancer clusters helped residents win a nuclear-harm lawsuit against the U.S. government.

In recent years, she has turned her attention to MRSA, the antibiotic resistant staph strain that kills 19,000 Americans every year--more than AIDS. MRSA has a major food angle--today, as much as 70 percent of antibiotics consumed in the United States go into concentrated-animal feedlot operations, or CAFOs. These vast, factory-scale animal farms have been shown to harbor a novel MRSA strain. In this edition of Victual Reality, Maryn and I discussed her new book, Superbug: the Fatal Menace of MRSA.
