Thanks for this interview. I wish links to Dr. Rosset's work were available in the substack transcript. I don't see links in the show notes on my phone's podcast player either. I have a recurring donation to the substack rather than your patreon because when I first found you guys, substack membership was the only way to access what I wanted to read at that time. Do I also need a patreon membership to get links? Yeah, I can do searches, but mileage may vary.

The book we reference is the following:

Agroecology: Science and Politics (Agrarian Change and Peasant Studies: Little Books on Big Issues)

by Peter M. Rosset (Author), Miguel A. Altieri (Author)

We're in the process of switching host providers for the show and it seems there's a bit of a delay in capturing the episode description update with these links-- here you go!

PS, I just finished reading Agroecology: Science and Politics. Great read. I hope to foist it upon a colleague who recently finished a course in Permaculture. His mindset is already aligned - he just needs to know more about it. Thank you ever so much for the reference.

I just gave it to him tonight. He was genuinely interested. At my recommendation, he has listened to a few Proles episodes, and it appeals to him. We chatted about the podcast a bit. He has watched talks by Miguel Altieri on youtube. I told him about the Proles interview with Peter Rosset. I think he'll look for it.

Thank you so much, Andy! Following search results, I just got used copies of Agroecology: Science and Politics and also Food is Different: Why We Must Get The WTO Out of Agriculture. They arrived yesterday. Back in they day, I wrote letters to protest first NAFTA and then the WTO.

Hey, I found a podcast you and your friends might like. Human Nature Odyssey by Alex Leff. It starts with a retelling of Daniel Quinn's Ishmael and moves from there into reimagining the world. I'm still working my way forward from the earliest to latest episodes but really look forward to the most recent one, Death in the Regenerative Garden.

Best to you all!
