By History, Just Transition

Context

The Future of Eastern Europe and Ecodemocracy is a four-part podcast series exploring key issues affecting Eastern Europe from a Green perspective, such as War, Peace, Energy and Green Youth and Activism. The podcast features interviews with the delegates that attended the Future of Eastern Europe Conference, held in Riga in June 2022, as well as other activists and Green actors.

Episode I

To begin the series, we invited four activists from different parts of Eastern Europe to discuss the war in Ukraine and the history, geopolitics, and current situation in some post-soviet countries. We also discussed the role of NATO in this context and the notion of peace and security.

Episode II

The second episode of the podcast focuses on energy and its role in participatory energy transitions. As part of this narrative, our guests discuss modern societies’ reliance on fossil fuels and geopolitical ramifications and the possibilities for a sustainable just and democratic transition.

Episode III

Focusing on the relationship between ecology and democracy, the third episode of the Podcast on the Future Of Eastern Europe and Ecodemocracy explores how we could make our governance systems more ecological, sustainable and inclusive.

A Just Transition in Agriculture Podcast

By Just Transition

About

Welcome to the four-part podcast we have prepared as part of the Just Transition project. In this story, we travel in a circle of infinite beginnings. We learn about a continuous regenerative system of agriculture that we forgot about after World War II, but one that we can return to, and we should if we are to break free from the destructive effects of industrial farming. Join us in this hopeful story about why agriculture matters and how we can move forward to a sustainable agriculture system.

 

Episodes

This first episode features environmental expert and consultant Anne Chapman as she explains the ins and outs of industrialised farming and how and why this extractive and polluting system is so ecologically, economically and socially harmful.

In episode two, the conversation continues towards the unsustainable practices of large scale industrial farming, the global marketplace and the economic pressures faced by farmers. Examples include: Regenerative farming and Farming for Nature

On episode 3 we meet George Hosier, a farmer who has made a successful transition to regenerative farming practices. Listen to learn how he did it!

To end this series, we invite Bill and Cath Grayson to our podcast. They are the owners and operators of Morecambe Bay Conservation Grazing Company. In this story the cows are the heroes and we learn what it means to be caring stewards of the land.
