SUMMARY:Animal Feed as Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Overview of the webinar series: In this three-part series\, Dr. Fred Provenza will discuss how palates link animals with foodscapes – those parts of landscapes animals use to nourish and self-medicate – through three interrelated processes: 1) availability of foods\, 2) flavor-feedback relationships\, and 3) transgenerational linkages to landscapes:\n\nFirst\, animals must have access to a variety of wholesome foods. The more they are restricted – for instance to a monoculture pasture or a feedlot ration for livestock or to ultra-processed foods for humans – the less they can sustain health.\n\nSecond\, liking for the flavors of foods is mediated by feedback from cells and organ systems throughout the body\, including the microbiome\, in response to nutritional and medicinal needs. Those needs are met by nutrients (energy\, protein\, minerals\, vitamins) and the thousands of compounds that diverse mixtures of plants produce (phenols\, terpenes\, alkaloids).\n\nThird\, mother is a transgenerational link to landscapes. Her knowledge – of what and what not to eat and where and where not to go to forage – is essential for helping her offspring get a start in life. Her influence begins in the womb (through flavors in her amniotic fluid)\, and continues at birth (through flavors in her milk) and when her offspring begin to forage (as a model for what and what not to eat).\n\nCollectively\, these processes enable the wisdom of the body to be manifest in animals that are locally adapted to the environments they inhabit.

SUMMARY:The New American Farmer: Immigration\, Race\, and the Struggle for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Although the majority of farms in the United States have US-born owners who identify as white\, a growing number of new farmers are immigrants\, many of them from Mexico\, who originally came to the United States looking for work in agriculture. In The New American Farmer\, Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern explores the experiences of Latino/a immigrant farmers as they transition from farmworkers to farm owners\, offering a new perspective on racial inequity and sustainable farming. She finds that many of these new farmers rely on farming practices from their home countries—including growing multiple crops simultaneously\, using integrated pest management\, maintaining small-scale production\, and employing family labor—most of which are considered alternative farming techniques in the United States. Minkoff-Zern argues that immigrant farmers\, with their knowledge and experience of alternative farming practices\, are—despite a range of challenges—actively and substantially contributing to the movement for an ecological and sustainable food system.
