Dear John,

There's a brand new episode of our podcast Against the Grain out now. In this episode called For Tribes, Food is Economy [[link removed]], Chef Bleu Adams of Indigehub says there’s nothing natural about the absence of good food available for Native Americans. Kari Jo Lawrence and Abi Fain of the Intertribal Agriculture Council tell us that a variety of forces – from infrastructure to bureaucracy to lack of credit to land and soil issues – make it difficult for Tribal communities to produce and distribute their own food. But people like Kari Jo, Abi and Bleu work tirelessly to find solutions. Check out this episode to learn more.

Read about our newest Farmer Hero [[link removed]] , Robert Bence of Hawai’i Sustainable Farms [[link removed]]. This eighth-generation farmer has run his organic, solar-powered farm for more than 11 years on Maui and says this about food and farming:

“We’re so disconnected from our food...but I love that the next generation is so into farming. I would hope everyone gets to grow at least a little bit of their own food. Farming is everything. You can do everything with a farm.”
