Connecting the dots between what we eat and how it’s grown
In this Deep Roots Radio interview, attorney Neil Thapar describes the technical glitch that makes it illegal to organize seed libraries or trade seeds with fellow gardeners.
Thapar practices with the Sustainable Economies Legal Center (SELC), Oakland, California. Its mission is to provide legal expertise needed to move communities, governments and organizations from destructive economic systems to innovative, cooperative alternatives. the nonprofit works to create a new legal landscape that supports community resilience and grassroots economic empowerment. SELC provides legal tools – education, research, advise and advocacy – so that communities can develop their own sustainable sources of food, housing, energy, jobs and other assets that promote thriving communities.

Based on over 30 years experience, Ussery continues conducting on-farm research and adding to the insights and lessons he shares in talks and workshops across the country.

A long-time Kansas rancher, Jim French is Senior Advocacy Advisor for Agriculture to Oxfam America. He has traveled the world in Oxfam’s efforts to work with local communities to create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger and social injustice.
Jim has come to believe that you must meet people where they are in their efforts, tap their local traditions and support their goals for prosperity. It’s not about exporting US agricultural products to foreign countries, but rather supporter their abilities to boost their local food production and economies.
I hope you enjoy this interview. For more information about Oxfam, visit www.oxfamamerica.org.
In this Deep Roots Radio interview, John Jeavons describes how biointensive gardening and farming is being used to increase yields, restore soils at unprecedented rates, cut water consumption by two-thirds and yield net income.
Jeavons in author of “How to Grow More Vegetables* on less land than you can imagine”. Now in its eighth printing and with over 500,000 sold, the principles described are at work in 151 countries worldwide.
Why so popular? Because Jeavon’s approach – GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming – addresses real needs with a real solution: more food for a growing population, soils restored so that they can grow more food, soil composition improved to hold and store water much more efficiently, ways to build compost up to 60X faster than nature, and the ability to earn a net income that’ll support a family.
I hope you enjoy – and will share – this podcast.
