When Mike Schreiner was a kid, he spent long days driving a tractor on his family's grain and cattle farm in Kansas, and in his head, he said he was already giving political speeches!Mike came to Toronto in 1995, for love, and then built a career in organic food: Toronto Organics, WOW Foods, EarthDance Organics, and Local Food Plus, a nonprofit that certified sustainable farms across Ontario. He wasn't trying to build a movement. He was trying to build a better food system, one farm at a time. In

Morning comes in a different way in the quiet areas of Santorini.Along the famous caldera, the first light usually brings cameras, footsteps, and the sound of cameras clicking as travelers start another day under the blue domes and bright sky.But deeper inland, far from the cliffs and the most photographed terraces, morning can feel almost timeless.The island wakes slowly.A rooster crows from behind a stone wall.A scooter moves along a narrow road and disappears around a bend.A farmer checks his

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.New Zealand produces food for three and a half times its own population — and still imports most of what it eats.That paradox is the whole episode. We're self-sufficient in five of the seven major food groups: fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, seafood. The two we fall short on are legumes, nuts and seeds, and starchy staples — wheat, rice, oats. The calorie backbone of the modern diet.The reason is 150 years of optimisation. Pastoral farming

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.New Zealand will never run out of water. That's not the problem.We get around 550 cubic kilometres of rainfall a year, one of the highest per-capita freshwater endowments on earth. The question is not whether the water exists — it's whether we can get it out of the ground, through the pipes, treated to a safe standard and into the tap. On that, we're far more dependent on the outside world than most people realise.We follow the chain from

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.After the oil episode, some good news for once.New Zealand sits on the boundary of two tectonic plates, and that violence has been generous with us: world-class gold, vast ironsand, rich geothermal fields, limestone, coal, and more aggregate than we could ever use. On construction materials, we are very close to self-sufficient. If the ships stopped, we could keep building.The gaps are somewhere less obvious. Drawing on GNS Science's 2024

The devastating August 2026 flash floods in Nepal and Tibet were triggered in part by a glacial collapse, a phenomenon likely to become more frequent as the Earth continues to rapidly warm due to human caused climate change. We discuss why climate change is making mountains and glaciers more unstable, and how early warning systems and less development in floodplains could prevent future loss of life.Also, as global sea temperatures rise due to climate change, coral reefs around the world are

Rowan Reid is an agroforester from the southeast of Australia. He’s been planting and growing trees since the 1980s, and spurring forestry and fine woodworking in a region that didn’t have a whole lot of it. Today we talked about Australia’s forest types, eucalypts, pruning timber trees, reaction wood, pine plantations, growing your own lumber to build your own house, keeping sawblades sharp, The Master Tree Grower Program, and farm networking to share ideas and perspectives. A huge thanks to...

Cornish fishermen this summer have had their usual catch of lobster and crab replaced by voracious octopus. Restaurant menus have had to be wiped and rewritten across the south-west, but what else has changed? Tom Heap and Helen Czerski ask why octopus have such a hold on our imagination and the science world, why the octopus has moved north and what its journey can tell us about the changing oceans.Joining Tom and Helen are the writer Sy Montgomery, marine biologist Dr Keith Hiscock MBE and

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.New Zealand does not have an oil refinery. Not "a small one" — none at all.Marsden Point closed permanently in April 2022, and from that moment every litre of petrol, diesel, jet fuel and marine fuel burned in this country arrived on a ship, already refined, from Singapore, South Korea or Australia. Before the closure we could at least process crude ourselves. That buffer is gone.So how much is actually in the tanks? Fuel importers are
