Thursday, January 29, 2009:

6:00 pm - Thomas Pawlick

Thomas Pawlick, a veteran newspaper and magazine journalist with more than 30 years experience in Canada and abroad, has worked for the Detroit News, the Associated Press, the Montreal Gazette, Harrowsmith Magazine and many other national and international publications, winning numerous awards. After more than 10 years in Africa, the Middle East and Europe, including several years with the United Nations, he returned to Canada to earn a graduate degree, and embarked on a career in teaching. He taught at Carleton University, the Higher Colleges of Technology (in the United Arab Emirates), Algonquin College and the University of Detroit. He is the author of several books, including The Invisible Farm, a study of agricultural journalism. His research interests include science writing, the environment, agriculture, and international news media systems.

He is the author of The End of Food: How the Food Industry is Destroying Our Food Supply--And What We Can Do About It published last year. Thomas Pawlick's book is full of very scary facts on how modern industrial farming techniques have reduced the available nutrients. For instance, since 1950 supermarket potatoes in Canada no longer contain Vitamin A, their iron quotient has been reduced by 57% along with their Vitamin C. Meanwhile, tomatoes have lost 61.5% of their calcium, 35.5% of their iron and 50% of their Vitamin A while gaining 200% more sodium! The End of Food shows how it's not enough simply to eat a salad, consumers need to think carefully about who grew the ingredients in it and how and where. And that's not even getting into what's put into our livestock. Gremolata's Malcolm Jolley caught up with the author recently in Toronto. Pawlick is currently helping his son start an organic farm near Kingston, ON.

Cost of Eating in Alberta

The Cost of eating in Alberta is a report prepared by the Community/Public Health Nutritionists of Alberta. The latest results show that many Albertans cannot afford to purchase a healthy diet.

The Environment Isn’t in Your Hands, It’s in Your Deep Freeze!
Is there a little Cows and Fish on your table?  Presenters will touch on the importance of stewardship to farming and food production.  How development of a stewardship ethic in agricultural producers in Alberta is leading to enhanced biodiversity on the landscape -  which is good for the land, the farmer, the consumer and the common good.

Kelsey Spicer-Rawe
Kelsey Spicer-Rawe is a Riparian Specialist with the Alberta non-profit society, Cows and Fish.  Cows and Fish works with community-based watershed groups and landowners to improve their understanding and management of riparian areas in Alberta.  Hired initially to expand the Cows and Fish program into northern and central Alberta, Kelsey has been working with the organization since 2000.

Don Ruzicka
Don Ruzicka and his wife Marie farm near Killam, in east central Alberta.  They are third generation farmers on the land that Dons’ grandparents settled in 1909.  They custom graze yearlings, raise Angus and Galloway cattle, as well as chickens, laying hens, turkeys, hogs and pheasants, all on pasture.  In 2001, Don joined a group of like minded individuals to form the Iron Creek Watershed Improvement Society, whose goal is to create an awareness of the impact that we all have on the watershed.  Don feels very strongly that we as land owners need to pause and take a serious look at how stewardship fits into the overall scheme of things.  Working at increasing and protecting biodiversity and making the consumer aware of how critical this is, is going to be one of the few options left for farmers and ranchers to survive and stay on the land.
