On June 25, 2013, President Obama unveiled a comprehensive plan to reduce carbon pollution, prepare for climate change impacts, and lead global efforts against it.

Despite the significance, Bill Moyers and Marty Kaplan highlighted the media's notable lack of coverage. Kaplan famously quipped, "And they just find climate change a snooze." A video clip of Kaplan's quote is available here.

Environmental protection agencies, created to regulate polluting industries, have been compromised. These bodies, meant to safeguard our environment, have been "hijacked" by the very industries they were designed to oversee.

Legal scholar Mary Christina Wood tells Bill Moyers that our judicial system, along with future generations, may ultimately be our best hope. She suggests they will save us from ourselves.

Fritjof Capra: Patterns of Connection

Join us for a virtual conversation with Fritjof Capra to discuss the evolution of his thought. In the late 1950s Capra read the work of Werner Heisenberg, a founder of quantum mechanics, and quickly intuited connections between the discoveries of quantum physics and the traditions of Eastern philosophy. The result was his bestselling book, The Tao of Physics. His synthesis, which dispensed with the mechanistic worldview of Descartes and Newton in favor of a systemic, ecological one, has provided him with a different perspective on the life sciences, ecology and environmental policy.

Six decades later, Fritjof Capra remains at the crossroads of physics, spirituality, environmentalism and systems theory. Organized thematically and chronologically, the essays in Patterns of Connection document his revolutionary and far-reaching intellectual journey.

Black communities have a long, complex relationship with American soil, marked by systemic racism and dispossession. This history directly connects to current "food apartheid" and the rise of the Black farming movement, worker cooperatives, and sustainable practices aimed at ensuring healthy, local food access for all.

The San Francisco Foundation and The Commonwealth Club of California hosted a discussion on November 8, 2021, exploring these critical issues. Doria Robinson, Executive Director of Urban Tilth, and Andrea Talley, Worker-Owner of Mandela Grocery Cooperative, shared insights. Noted author Natalie Baszile moderated the conversation.

In Uganda, limited veterinary services create gaps in routine livestock healthcare for smallholder farmers. Private-sector veterinary paraprofessionals (VPPs) are crucial in filling this need.

Supported by the Gates Foundation, FAO and partners empower VPPs with technical and business training. This model strengthens farm productivity by positioning VPPs as frontline providers of preventive livestock healthcare. A webinar highlights how VPPs improve animal health access, promote husbandry, and boost their income.
