I love the call toward eating more plant-based, more regional, more regenerative food. Abolsolutism is so offputting and discouraging to people. As a teacher, I am always trying to get the word out to my students that we don't have to be all vegans and that we don't exclusively have to shop at farmers markets. Just do it more, and then a bit more. Great message!
Thanks for making the connection to the importance of providing kids with farming experiences in their formative years (and experiences in the outdoors in general) to help them form understandings of where their food comes from, what it takes to produce it, the reciprocal relationships between farming and the environment/nature, the importance of spending time outdoors, etc.
Thanks also for pointing out the difficulties of farming and how many farmers / farming households must also have other jobs just to get by. I grew up in a farming / teacher household - a common combo in the U.S.
State level environmental education organizations (like KACEE - https://www.kacee.org/) typically help facilitate ag related programs/experiences and/or partner with other state agricultural organizations to help facilitate those experiences as well as bring them into the classroom. These are great organizations to support financially - https://givebutter.com/kacee2025/kacee-board-1/marcelharmon
Love your podcasts. John Marshall talks about communicating consequences in close connection with mentioning climate change. I'd love some examples or models of how to do that. Thanks!
