Episode 136: Mark J. Easter - The Blue Plate

Nature Revisited

Mark J. Easter is an ecologist, researcher, and author of more than fifty scientific papers and reports related to carbon cycling and the carbon footprint of agriculture, forestry, and other land uses. In this episode of Nature Revisited, Mark offers us a picture of the impact the foods we eat every day have on the earth. From the soil that grows our crops, to the farmers who steward the land, to the workers and grocers who bring the food to our table, the compounding social and environmental impacts are far-reaching. However, we can employ low-carbon, in-season alternatives to make our foods more sustainable, but we must first understand how food is produced, harvested, and shipped.
