| Video Discription | CHE-Alaska call: Lessons from the Alaskan Home Garden: Consequences and Alternatives to Pesticide Use for our Soils, Plants, and Ourselves. This teleconference was recorded on July 29, 2020. There are no presentation slides. Speaker: Jeff Lowenfels is a journalist and author of three best-selling books on organic gardening: Teaming with Microbes, Teaming with Nutrients, and Teaming with Fungi – a trilogy on soil ecology with the aim of helping growers improve plant health without the use of harmful chemicals. Lowenfels is also a long-time contributor to the Anchorage Daily News, with an ongoing garden column spanning more than forty years. Description: It is increasingly clear that our reliance on pesticides in and around our homes, in particular in our gardens, is disconnected with the current scientific consensus. Old habits, however, are hard to break. What has become increasingly clear is that many so-called problems have non-pesticide solutions, can often be tolerated (within reason), and, as is too often the case, the prescribed pesticide has consequences arguably worse than the issue it was intended to solve. Having been a professional garden columnist and home gardener for over forty years, Jeff Lowenfels is in a unique position to share his perspective on how gardening methods have changed over the last 40 years and what motivated him and others to experiment with, adopt, and promote organic gardening methods in Alaska. We’ll also discuss the consequences and alternatives of pesticide use in the context of the ‘Teaming with…’ trilogy he authored on soil ecology (see resource list below), as well as (if time allows) current and future regulations around pesticide use in Alaska. CHE-Alaska is a working group of CHE established by ACAT to advance knowledge and effective action to address growing concerns about the links between human health and environmental factors. CHE-Alaska sponsors monthly statewide teleconference seminars and other public events featuring Alaskans and nationally-renowned scientists, health care professionals, and policy experts who are working on a range of environmental health concerns.
