Amber is a fifth generation Wisconsin cranberry grower and mom raising the first of the sixth generation. She’s a farmer working alongside her entire family and now trying to navigate the work life balance with a new baby.
Author Michele Payn and RDN Nicole have teamed up help dietitians and consumers get firsthand perspective from farmers about how food is grown. Listen in to learn more about the newly relaunched podcast.
Farm owners and workers are more likely to die by suicide than any other occupation. Veterinarians are 2.7x as likely to attempt suicide than the general population. Startling statistics, but a very real look at the stress levels impacting all of us in agriculture. These numbers call for compassion for the people raising our food.
Weather, Changing markets. Lost contracts. Working with family. The chronic stressors in agriculture are prevalent and 2021 brings a whole new level of uncertainty, which is why I’m livestreaming conversations about stress management tools to celebrate National Ag Week. I believe the best people in the world work in agriculture, and I want to be a part of equipping them with tools to combat stress during the pandemic and beyond.
Anyone else feeling overwhelmed? Michele and Eliz talk ranging conversation about stress, overwhelm, uncertainty, and choice in 2021. Much of their conversation is based on Eliz’s new book, “Stress-Proof Your Life” in this final episode of the food bullying podcast. Listen in as they say farewell and help you deal with the stress of a pandemic and beyond.
Did you know soldiers used to carry flowers into battle to keep them healthy? Dr. Liza Dunn joins Michele and Eliz for a fascinating conversation about pesticides, nutrition, herbicides, and why doctors need to stay in their lane.
