Bill Bullard: Fighting For The U.S. Cattle Producer Jun 07, 2011

Show notes

Recently, the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives released its version of the Fiscal Year 2012 Agriculture Appropriations Bill, which slashes funding to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agency charged with preventing meatpackers from engaging in unfair, deceptive and discriminatory livestock procurement practices that have forced independent farmers and ranchers out of the business. According to Bill Bullard, the meatpackers have enlisted the aid of key congressional members to help them avoid U.S. laws that prohibit meatpackers from engaging in unfair trade practices against U.S. farmers and ranchers who sell their livestock into one of the most concentrated, monopolistic marketing systems in the entire U.S. economy. “Four powerful meatpackers now control about 85 percent of the U.S. fed cattle market and these four meatpackers have coerced Congress into derailing a USDA rulemaking that would, for the first time, properly implement the 90-year-old Packers and Stockyards Act that was intended to prevent monopolistic meatpackers from taking advantage of independent farmers and ranchers,” he said. The meatpackers have specifically targeted an important rulemaking by the USDA Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) that belatedly implements the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921 (PSA). The GIPSA rulemaking, known as the GIPSA rule, does this by imparting fairness and transparency in the livestock marketplace and by holding meatpackers accountable for their unfair cattle procurement practices that have contributed to the loss of over half a million U.S. cattle farmers and ranchers during just the past three decades. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Bill Bullard, who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA).

In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to beekeeping experts and activists, Tom Theobald, author, Graham White and Phil Chandler, who is also the host of The Barefoot Beekeeper.

Using Permaculture For Increased Production & Sustainability Jun 03, 2011

Show notes

Permaculture provides a core set of design principles that allow individuals to create their own environment and build increasingly self-sufficient human habitats. The term permaculture, meaning "permanent agriculture" was coined in the 1970's by Australian Bill Mollison. This is done by actually working with nature, not against it. Initially, it was created as a method to enable people to be able to work with the land and animals for sustainable food production. The basic principles have actually evolved to encompass economic and social systems. Implementing permaculture principles can help minimize human reliance on industrial systems of production and distribution that are identified as being destructive to the ecological system. Permaculture also uses the same fundamental principles found in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Vegetative Management Systems. By creating a series of semi autonomous processes that work together simultaneously, you can produce a higher quality system that is holistic and sustainable. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Horticultural expert, John Peter Thompson, who is President of the National Agricultural Research Alliance (http://www.NARA-B.org ). John Peter will talk about how to utilize permaculture practices to make your garden more productive and sustainable. Stay tuned!

GE Alfalfa: Is It The End Of The Organic Industry? May 26, 2011

Show notes

Earlier this year, the USDA made the decision to allow genetically modified alfalfa to be deregulated. While the public has been outraged, there are still many people that do not really comprehend how devastating this will be. Just how safe will this be for animal consumption as well as human consumption? Will this guarantee the continued path to destruction of ALL organic crops in the United States making organic impossible to grow? How many pesticides will be enough? What rights do the farmers have if their pristine land is contaminated? How will consumers know if the food they eat contains something genetically modified? In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to activist, Beth Robinette about the impact of the deregulation of GE Alfalfa. Beth Robinette is a fourth generation rancher on the Lazy R Ranch, located outside of Spokane, Washington, where she continues to live and work with her family.

How Western Culture Is Destroying Indigenous Groups May 23, 2011

Show notes

Indigenous people experience disproportionately high rates of chronic and communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. They also often struggle with poor living conditions, inadequate housing, poor nutrition, and exposure to high environmental contaminants, leading to burdens of chronic health deficits. The 2006 Indigenous World International Working Group on indigenous affairs says: “Indigenous people remain on the margins of society: they are poorer, less educated, die at a younger age, are much more likely to commit suicide, and are generally in worse health than the rest of the population”. This is particularly true for indigenous groups “whose original ways of life, environment, and livelihoods have been destroyed and often replaced with the worst of Western lifestyle – i.e., unemployment, poor housing, alcoholism, and drug use”. Over the last several decades, scholars have been linking these health outcomes to historical traumas that have affected the overall health and wellness of indigenous people and are also seeing a great deal of resiliency embedded in cultural practices and traditions. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Dr. Ramona E. Beltrán, PhD, MSW, about these issues and how re-evaluating their relationship between the natural environment and health has brought about the necessary change. Dr. Beltran, who is a Chicana woman of Yaqui tribal heritage, currently works at the Indigenous Wellness Research Institute and the Center for Studies on Health and Risk Behaviors at the University of Washington. She engages in community-based participatory research. She also teaches graduate courses on social justice and historical trauma at the University of Washington. She is working on developing a book on holistic and creative pedagogy for teaching historical trauma and healing. Stay tuned!

Mary Nash Stoddard “Deadly Deception: Story of Aspartame" May 20, 2011

Show notes

Just about every other commercial talks about weight loss or some kind of food that promotes weight loss. What exactly is the risk that you are taking with your health when you consume these kinds of foods? Most every diet food, which has been cleverly changed by the marketers to “low calorie” and “reduced calorie” food item contains an artificial sweetener. The artificial sweetener is usually saccharin or aspartame. Controversy continues to swirl around these fake sugars thirty years after FDA approval but are they really safe? One woman adamantly says, "No." She should know! Award winning journalist and food safety expert, Mary Nash Stoddard, has, for the past 24 years, spearheaded the campaign to have aspartame recalled and retested as a drug. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Mary Nash Stoddard, the founder: Aspartame Consumer Safety Network and Pilot Hotline to talk about this deadly sweetener. Stay tuned!
