Conservation isn’t just about protecting land—it’s about understanding it. And in this episode, Heidi Peterson from the Sand County Foundation helps us explore how healthy land management starts with local knowledge, long-term thinking, and partnerships that actually work.

We talk about:

• The real-world tension between productivity and sustainability
• Why the best conservation efforts are co-created, not handed down
• What being a steward of soil health looks like in the industry and as a consumer.

If you care about food, farming, or the future of the land we live on, this episode offers a practical, hopeful look at conservation that’s not just ecological—it’s personal.

We rely on insects more than we realize—until they become a problem. In this episode, entomologist Dr. Christelle Guédot helps us untangle the delicate balance between pests we fight and pollinators we depend on.

From fruit crops to backyard gardens, Dr. Guédot breaks down how insect behavior shapes our food system, what happens when we tip that balance, and how farmers and researchers are working with—not just against—nature.

We explore:

• Why pollinator health is declining (and why it matters)
• How we monitor and manage agricultural pests
• The future of farming in a world of changing ecosystems

Whether you grow food or just eat it, this episode will change how you think about the smallest creatures doing the biggest work.
