What if your next meal could be a tool for climate action?


In this episode of Nutrition Without Compromise, shared here with the permission of ORLO Nutrition, Corinna Bellizzi welcomes ecologist and greenhouse gas accountant Mark J. Easter to explore the connection between the foods we eat and the fight against climate chaos. Mark shares insights from his new book, The Blue Plate: A Food Lover’s Guide to Climate Chaos (Patagonia Press), offering a hopeful path forward through regenerative agriculture, plant-forward diets, and nature-based solutions like shellfish farming and soil restoration.


Together, they examine:

  • The personal legacy of farming on the Great Plains and carbon loss
  • Why shrimp farming is far worse for the environment than you might think
  • How regenerative practices restore soil health and human nutrition
  • The surprising role of mussels and oysters in carbon drawdown
  • What we can learn from indigenous practices and planetary perspective


🌱 Tune in and learn how your daily choices at the dinner table can help build a healthier, more resilient planet.
