In this thought-provoking episode of In The Garden With Susan, we dive into the controversial realms of climate change and agricultural biodiversity, as framed by the book 'Eating to Extinction' by Dan Saladino. I offer a candid critique of what I perceive as climate alarmism within the narrative, aligning my discussion with the current phase of the Grand Solar Minimum, a topic often overlooked in mainstream climate debates.

As we dissect the book, special attention is given to the endangered wheat variety Kavilca from Turkey, an emblematic example of crop diversity facing challenges in our modern world. Through reading select passages, we question popular narratives and seek a deeper understanding of how our seed supply is doing.

This episode is not just a critique but an invitation to think critically about the stories we are told regarding climate change and historic "facts". It's a journey through the complexities of agricultural history, and the broader implications of how we view and interact with our natural world. Join me as we navigate these intricate topics in 30 minutes (!!), aiming to broaden our perspective and deepen our understanding of the delicate interplay between humanity and nature.
