088. The Teenager Using Hydroponics To Feed The World
Bailey Van Tassel interviews Steven Hoffen, a high-schooler who started a hydroponics non-profit that feeds over 33,000 people yearly in underserved populations. Steven went to Isreal in seventh grade and was inspired to make a film about women coming together to grow their own food with hydroponics. That quickly turned into his pursuit of using hydroponic systems to help people who are incarcerated, the elderly, and asylum seekers. Steven was named a CNN Hero and is on his way to creating something immensely dynamic, all with the power of food. He shares about what his towers do, how they work, and what his mission is.

086. The Forbidden Garden &The Unsung Heroes of WW2 - An Interview with Simon Parkin
Bailey Van Tassel interviews author and journalist Simon Parkin about his book, The Forbidden Garden - The Botanists of Besieged Leningrad and Their Impossible Choice. Bailey recommends this as one of her favorite books, as it is wildly important in modern times to understand the importance of seeds and their ultimate fragility. Parkin talks about how he came to find this story and the importance of telling it. There are a few spoilers in the interview, but not many. Parkin shares his exploration of this question: should the botanists in charge of the world's first seed bank use the seeds to feed people amidst starvation and a harsh winter, or do they stick to their pledge of saving the seeds for the sake of humanity's future, and scientific progress in finding better ways to grow invaluable crops?
Listen in to hear more about the telling of this story and what we can learn from it.
