First hour: Discussing the current state of eating disorders and kids
Second hour: How is climate change affecting farmers?
Experts in the field of adolescent medicine are discussing the current state of eating disorders and kids. Social media platforms have put enormous pressure on teenagers -- especially girls -- to fit a narrow set of physical standards. Our guests talk about The Body Project, as well as their work to help guide kids through a very challenging time in their lives. We're joined by:
- Taylor Starr, D.O., associate professor of adolescent medicine and medical director of the Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and medical director of the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders
- Nicole Cifra, M.D., fellow in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center
Then in our second hour, how is climate change affecting farmers? We sit down with local farmers and agriculture professionals to hear how climate change affects their work and how agricultural processes impact the environment. We also talk about "climate smart" farming practices and where they are being used. Our guests:
- Forrest Watson, crop manager and fourth generation family at Mulligan Family Farm in Avon
- Meghan Hauser, co-owner of Table Rock Farm in Castile
- Aaron Ristow, New York agricultural stewardship program manager for American Farmland Trust
- Curt Gooch, owner of dairy sustainability products at Land O'Lakes Truterra
