The Other Inconvenient Truth: How Agriculture is Changing the Face of Our Planet by Jonathan Foley, director of the Institute on the Environment (IonE) at the University of the Minnesota and leader of  the IonE’s Global Landscapes Initiative. Foley’s work focuses on complex global environmental systems and their interactions with human societies.

We typically think of climate change as the biggest environmental issue we face today. But maybe it's not? In this presentation, Jonathan Foley shows how agriculture and land use are maybe a bigger culprit in the global environment, and could grow even larger as we look to feed over 9 billion people in the future.

JustUs is the story of a family in the Española Valley of New Mexico ministering to their community during an epidemic of heroin addiction and political corruption.  This location is the homeland of a variety of Indigenous tribes.  In 1598 Spanish Conquistadores attempted to colonize this area. The Pueblo rebellion of 1680 was a reaction to enslavement that resonates with historical traumas that even remain today.  Most of the people here are bi-racial. The Spanish language is a dominant cultural influence.  Though the land is enchanting, poverty is endemic and the State of New Mexico is ranked 49th in educational achievement.  Job training facilities and job opportunities are nearly nonexistent with the distribution of heroin and methamphetamine being the primary source of income.  Produced by Paul Steinbroner and David Okimoto and directed by Paul Steinbroner of Touchpoint Productions, paul@touchpointproductions.com at (541) 941-5317 to schedule a preview.

 Andrew Revkin - The Scariest Climate Science - GLEX summit 23

Between 14 to 16 June 2023, Portugal held in the Azores The Global Exploration Summit (GLEX Summit) bringing together the world’s leading explorers to showcase the latest discoveries, innovative solutions and cutting-edge technology in exploration of our planet, oceans and the new frontiers of space… A Co-Organization between The Explorers Club and Expanding World.

With 40 years of his life dedicated to journalism, Andrew Revkin became one of the most innovative and lauded reporters on the sustainability beat - filing stories and multimedia reports from the Amazon to the Arctic and talking about the scariest climate science.

In this talk, one of the most respected, beloved and impactful longtime activists on behalf of Indigenous rights and women’s leadership as well as a major figure in the “Rights of Nature” movement, will delve deeply into how many Indigenous peoples view the human relationship to the natural world and what their ancestral wisdom teaches about how to harmoniously interact with nature’s fundamental components, aka the “elements”—Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. Casey will explore how these incredibly sophisticated traditional Indigenous land, water and fire stewardship strategies, many of which are now being “rediscovered” by contemporary managers, have much to teach us as we grapple with the climate crisis.

This keynote talk was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. To see other talks from the conference, visit http://www.bioneers.org

Heart of the World. Sequoyah Trueblood speaks candidly of his experiences with the Mamos, or spiritual elders of the high mountains of Colombia. He was accompanied by James O'Dea, one of the great peacemakers of our time. This is the third segment of this three part series describing Sequoyah and James' experiences in Colombia, the land known as "The Heart of the World." In this final segment Sequoyah describes the events initiating the translation of "The Law of Origin," the Gifts of Global Telepathy and Divining. The Foundation for Global Humanity is grateful for this opportunity to film Sequoyah at the Shift Retreat at IONS in Northern California in June 2011. With deep respect, we present this sacred story from Sequoyah Trueblood, accompanied by James O'Dea.
