7.4: Enhancing the local values chain with community gardens feat. Doug Jones
In this episode, Ariel interviews Doug Jones from Waterloo Region Community Garden Network, and he discusses about how the Network was started, what it does, and the benefits of gardening for the health and wellbeing not only for you but for your entire community. We discuss gleaning, food insecurity, access to land, and much more; this is an episode you’re going to want to listen to, especially if rising cost of food and food security are concerns for you these days.
I (Ariel) have included some links to the local organizations he mentions, as well as some that expand on some of the topics we discussed, which you can check out in the YouTube description or on our blog.

Climate change threatens global food supply: Scientists call for urgent action https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/12/241205184320.htm
Effects of climate change (+3 C and 2x CO2 by 2100) on potato growth: Fresh tuber weight decreased more than 50% with increased CO2 or temperature, but increasing both resulted in one variety performing like the control and another increasing productivity by over 3x!
Conclusion: Higher CO2 can overcome yield losses due to higher temperatures, but variety influences yield under climate change scenarios.
