  How Cooking Shapes the Food System | Agriculture Season EP 8 07.05.2026 1t 8min

  Welcome back to The Agriculture Season, our new series that explores the food on your plate, how it got there, and its global impact on the environment, social justice, and the economy.How do your cooking habits influence the agriculture industry, and vice versa? In this episode, we explore the powerful feedback loop between cooking culture and the agriculture industry. We’re diving into how our collective shift toward convenience changed the very blueprint of American farming—and how rediscovering the ingredients rather than recipes might be the key to restoring our planet’s health.In this episode, we discuss:-The Chef-Farmer Connection: How what we crave in the kitchen dictates what is planted in the field.The Loss of Seasonality: Why our year-round demand for ingredients has led to industrial monocrops.Reclaiming the Table: How the simple act of cooking at home can be a revolutionary act for the environment.Cultural Staples: Looking at the history of how traditional recipes once protected biodiversity.

  The Consumer Rebellion | Agriculture Season EP 7 30.04.2026 49min

  Welcome back to The Agriculture Season, our new series that explores the food on your plate, how it got there, and its global impact on the environment, social justice, and the economy.For some reason the release of undercover media from a tuna boat killing dolphins isn’t hitting the same in 2026 as it did in 1988. It’s possible that the oversaturation of horrific, planet-destroying, life-altering media has something to do with that. Perhaps we’ve become desensitized, perhaps your algorithm is not pushing that kind of content to you, perhaps greenwashing and really effective communication campaigns have effectively made most of us believe that there isn’t really an issue. Or, if there was, they’re on top of it with their “all natural” products on the shelves. This episode is, instead, overflowing with ideas to make a difference and a plan to get us out of this mess! This manifesto is titled “Consumer Rebellion.”Visit our Substack for the HE360° list of Organizations Filling the Gap.___________________________________________To stay on top of Hotel Earth 360° updates, check out our links belowSubstack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/ Instagram: @hotelearth360TikTok: @hotelearth360Website: hotelearth360.com To receive the Hotel Earth newsletter, for environmental news, episode announcements, book club updates, and more, subscribe to our Substack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/subscribe📧 For business inquiries: [email protected] Thank you for watching!

  Rewrite the Rules: Food System Policies EXPOSED | Agriculture Season EP 6 23.04.2026 1t 1min

  Welcome back to The Agriculture Season, our new series that explores the food on your plate, how it got there, and its global impact on the environment, social justice, and the economy. What does a can of tuna have to do with agricultural policy? More than you’d expect! Case studies like the Tuna Boycott of 1988 show how consumer demand can drive policy change. Real, meaningful, GLOBAL change. The girls argue that consumer demand for agricultural reform could beget similar results.Right now, the US and EU are experiencing parallel legislative and grassroots shifts. Both are pivotal moments for food policy. This episode explores these parallels, which begs the question: if demand requires us to move away from traditional "subsidize and produce" models and toward "climate-smart" and "fair-access" frameworks, what policies will we need to support our farmers as well as our environmental goals? Moreover, are our policymakers ready to rise to this occasion?_____________________________________________________________To stay on top of Hotel Earth 360° updates, check out our links belowSubstack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/ Instagram: @hotelearth360TikTok: @hotelearth360Website: hotelearth360.com To receive the Hotel Earth newsletter, for environmental news, episode announcements, book club updates, and more, subscribe to our Substack: https://hotelearth360.substack.com/subscribe📧 For business inquiries: [email protected] Thank you for watching!

  Food Security vs Food Sovereignty | Agriculture Season EP 5 16.04.2026 1t 20min

  Welcome back to The Agriculture Season, our new series that explores the food on your plate, how it got there, and its global impact on the environment, social justice, and the economy.

  Bioritmo x La Birr'aia: Let's Reconnect, Amici 17.10.2024 30min

  *DISCLAIMER: The majority of this episode is in Italian.* Ballate, mangiate, bevete e godetevi l'aria fresca. In questo episodio, Ari ha avuto il piacere di parlare con Giacomo Spotti di Bioritmo e Niccolò Garbarino di La Birr'aia, due ragazzi che stanno lavorando per creare un'armonia tra natura e fare ciò che amiamo. Viaggiate a Firenze, Italia, mentre parliamo del loro lavoro e di come possiamo portare la sostenibilità nelle cose che già amiamo fare.
