Acerca de Sustainability Defined

Sustainability Defined is the podcast that defines sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosts Scott Breen and Jay Siegel explore a new topic each episode with the help of an expert in the field. Each concept falls into one of seven sectors -- Energy, Cities, Natural Environment, Transportation, Business, Policy, and Social -- and is visually represented in a Sustainability Tree found at www.sustainabilitydefined.com.

Ep 90: The Farm to Table Movement (with Chef Ariane Daguin)

Farm to Table — sounds obvious, right? But how did something so seemingly simple become such a radical act? In this week's episode, Nethra and Cecilia unpack the history, philosophy, and misconceptions surrounding the farm-to-table movement — from its roots in counterculture to its current role in shaping sustainable food systems. They explore how industrial agriculture and globalized supply chains have created a deep disconnect between eaters and the land, and why “local” isn’t just a buzzword, but a call to reimagine what food can be. This episode also features a special interview with Ariane Daguin, a trailblazer in ethical sourcing and sustainable farming. As the founder of D’Artagnan, Ariane revolutionized the U.S. food industry by introducing organic, free-range, and humanely raised meats to the mainstream market. Her influence laid critical groundwork for today’s farm-to-table movement. Now, through her latest venture AOOA Farm, she’s championing regenerative agriculture and mentoring the next generation of farmers and chefs with the same passion and purpose. Whether you’re a foodie, a farmer, or just curious about where your dinner really comes from, this episode is a must-listen.

Ep 87: Wetlands & The World's Largest Restoration Project

Wetlands are the unsung heroes of climate resilience. From flood protection to water filtration, these ecosystems are biodiversity hot spots and are critical for the health of our planet.  In this episode, learn more about what exactly a wetland is and how they are vital. Learn about the world's largest restoration project taking place in the Florida Everglades as we sit down with Dr. Steve Davis, the Chief Science Officer at The Everglades Foundation. The Everglades Foundation has been the driving force behind the biggest environmental restoration project in the world. The project aims to “lubricate” the Everglades with much-needed fresh water to save an ecosystem unlike any other on the planet, ensure continued access to drinking water for more than 9 million Floridians, and prevent yearly outbreaks of blue-green algae that clog Florida waterways with a guacamole-like substance.

Atypical Ep. 10: Innovations in Sustainable Aviation - Insights from the Airbus Summit

Did you know that airplanes can run on waste cooking oil, municipal solid waste, forestry waste, and even algae in the form of Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs)? Well, they can.  Biomimicry, Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs), and aircrafts inspired by GEESE? Learn about some of the innovations happening right now in the aviation industry and where it's headed in the coming decades. The industry has some ambitious goals of reaching net zero by 2050, running aircrafts on mainly SAFs, using newer lightweight materials to reduce fuel consumption, and even getting aircrafts to fly in the same v-pattern as flocks of geese to lower their carbon footprints. Hosts, Cecilia & Nethra, took field trip to Toulouse, France and attended the Airbus Summit 2025. Learn about their insights from the summit and hear some lightning interviews from a few of the leading experts at Airbus such as: * Julie Kitcher, Chief Sustainability Officer * Jonathan Beck, Flight Operations R&T IPT Leader * Sue Partridge, Head of Wing of Tomorrow Programme * Antjie Bulmann, Direct Air Capture Expert
