  • Best Farm Questions – Bill Moyers

    Best Farm Questions – Bill Moyers
    Sep 5 2025
    Farm to Table Talk is about good conversations and no one was better at facilitating conversation than Bill Moyers who has passed away at the age of 91. A journalist, minister, Peace Corps and Great Society leader, Bill Moyers also showed his interest and support of farmers, such as his thoughtful interview with the legendary Wendell Berry. He told Rodger Wasson it was fine with him to have his Wendell Berry conversation shared on the Farm To Table Talk podcast so in his honor, at his passing is that conversation. Wendell told Bill , “We don’t have the right to ask whether we are going to succeed or not; the only question we have the right to ask is what’s the right thing to do? What does this Earth require of us if we want to continue to live on it?” Bill Moyers is a legend himself for matchless, thoughtful interviews such as this interview in October 2013, that was a production of the Schumann Media Center, Inc. and Mannes Productions, Inc.© 2013

    When vegan chef Mollie Englehart finally became a farmer, she had the big idea to create a farm where nothing had to die.

Mollie built her successful LA Vegan restaurants on that ethical stance: compassionate food, no suffering, all love. in LA, feeding people while saving the planet. . Farming would be the next step: acres of peace—a sanctuary where every goat, duck, and sheep got a happy ending, like it was a mission from God. Mollie Englehart's journey and lessons learned is a book, Debunked by Nature: One Woman’s Journey from Vegan Chef to Regenerative Farmer—and the Truths She Discovered Along the Way.

  • More People, Worse Climate, Less Food – Richard Sexton

    More People, Worse Climate, Less Food – Richard Sexton
    Aug 14 2025
    Climate change, population growth, demand for animal products, pest resistance to traditional treatments and misguided policies lead to food shortages and escalating food prices. In 2023, 733 million people faced hunger and 2.3 billion were moderately or severely food insecure. Policies to support biofuels, organic agriculture, local foods, and small farms and to oppose genetically modified foods all reduce food production on existing land.--leading to higher food prices, increased carbon emissions, and less natural habitat as cropland expands. Richard Sexton is a professor of Agriculture and Resource Economics at UC Davis and author of FOOD FIGHT: Misguied Policies, Supply Challenges and the Impending Struggle to Feed a Hungry World.
