The Dirt Podcast: Recent Episodes
The Dirt Society
The podcast for anyone who eats.
Join us as we talk about food: The laborers growing it, the legislation controlling it, the histories inspiring it, and the people who love it.
Population growth, climate change, slave trade, and the Colombian Exchange: As you'll soon learn, the history of farming is the history of humankind itself. In the third episode of The Dirt Society's Food 100 Course, we'll learn about early technological revolutions in agriculture--and how these ancient developments continue to impact us in the 21st century.

In the first episode of our Food 100 track, Jennifer talks about our most basic relationship with food; how hunger can both connect us and give us common ground upon which we can create radical change.
In this supplement to The Dirt Society Podcast, we're sharing our talk given on January 16th to a conference of agriculture professionals on the east coast. We discuss why our food culture needs changing, and how you--a consumer--can make big waves in the global food market. Welcome to the table, everybody!
