  • Summary

  • Almond milk, almond crackers, roasted almonds, almonds in chocolate - this beloved nut is found in dishes the world over. But for the last couple of decades, the industry has been a key point of criticism amongst environmentalists and sustainable food advocates for its effects on wild and managed bee populations, and for the water requirements of such a thirsty crop during some of California’s worst droughts ever recorded. Tune in this week to learn about the pros, cons, and everything in between of growing and consuming so many almonds. A huge thank you to our incredible guests - Denise Qualls from Bee Hero, Ron Miksha from the University of Calgary, Lauren Ponisio from the University of Oregon, and Brittney Goodrich from UC Davis.
