While landscape architects have been at the forefront in developing adaptation strategies in urban environments, designers have been largely absent from this process in the agricultural landscape. As climate change promises to reshape agricultural landscapes in the coming century, this podcast draws together an interdisciplinary voices to reflect on a greener future for rural landscapes.

Episode 1: Too Big to Farm
Episode 1
Saturday, 1 May, 2021

Four powerful corporations own the majority of market shares in the seed and agrochemical industry- and, in turn, have the power to control the way land is farmed in the United States. This has resulted in overproduction, degraded ecosystems, created public health crises, all time high farm debt and narrowed opportunities for new farmers. I’m joined by Claire Kelloway Reporter for the Open Markets Institute, Guy Ashmore an Organic farmer in Clarksville, OH, Chris Novak President & CEO from CropLife America, Gary Hooser activist and Former Hawaii State Senator to uncover these issues, and discuss how and why we should support alternatives.
