The Stolen Lands of Hawai'i: President Dole (Part 3) - EP382
Tensions are rising between plantation owners and the Hawaiian monarchy. Plantation owners want the island nation to be annexed by the United States to further their wealth.

Innovative Refrigerator Linen Bags by Ambrosia - EP374
In this week's episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with a new type of bag company that is changing the way you store produce inside your refrigerator at home. To tell the story correctly, Jordan's mother traveled through Europe on a path to find what could be the most sustainable bag in your fridge. Imagine this, the quality of this bag is so powerful that in the early 1800's medics used it to help clot wounds for soldiers on the battle field.
Our guest Jordan Greig of Ambrosia Linen Refrigerated Bags tells all about the innovative product you want in your home. Who are they you ask? At Ambrosia, our values drive everything we do. We are passionate about reducing food waste in households and promoting equity. As a fair-wage company based in Ojai, California, we are proud to partner with 1% For The Planet.
We go beyond just linen produce bags. Through our partnership with EcoDrive, we plant a tree for every online order we receive. Our commitment to the environment and global community is ongoing and sincere, not just an attempt at greenwashing. Join us in our mission to be better stewards of the planet while finally having the chance to enjoy all your fresh produce.

The Stolen Lands of Hawai'i: The Story Begins (Part 1) - EP372
A paradise island chain in the middle of the Pacific remained in relative isolation for over 1,000 years until the controversial Captain Cook became the first recorded European to encounter what he called the Sandwich Islands. This encounter marked the beginning of the end of the sovereignty of what we now know as the Hawaiian islands.
The story of Hawai'i is a tragic tale of violence, exploitation and imperialism that has food, namely produce, at the very heart of it all.
Join Patrick and John in the first episode of this epic series, as they explore three key moments in the late 18th century that set the course of Hawaii's fate.
