' This last week has shown us how deeply out of touch and silent many of our figureheads are when it comes to racial inequalities and civil rights issues.❌
Instead of yet another white voice weighing in on regenerative agriculture, we had Chris Newman of Sylvanaqua Farms on the Positively Green Podcast to talk with us about where our clean food movement keeps getting it wrong.⚠️
A member of the Choptico Band of Piscataway Indians, Chris places a heavy emphasis on:
1️⃣The indigenous ethics, values, and knowledge serving as the (often unacknowledged) foundation of the modern permaculture movement
2️⃣The decolonized worldview necessary to ensure the sustainable stewardship of natural resources.
In this episode we cover:
🔸Chris’ farming journey and how Sylvanaqua Farms came to be�
🔸Common issues with small farming practices for farmers, consumers, ecosystems, and the food system in general�
🔸What “democratizing agriculture” means and how it’s different than the model most small farms are using today�
🔸The issue with the notion that all beef should be grass-fed and grass-finished or that all livestock must be farmed regeneratively for its entire life�
🔸The presence of environmental racism, inequality, and what it means to be “Thunberged”�
🔸Books and resources to learn more about environmental racism�
🔸Why conscious consumers can’t just “zero waste” their way into a climate-change-free future
�🔸What we can do to be an active part of an environmentally-sound future�
🔸Chris’ vision for the future of Sylvanaqua Farms
