It’s clear to the rest of the world that Monsanto and Dupont-Pioneer, the two giant corporations responsible for the future apocalypse of our modern age (let’s not forget Dow Chemical, the cheeky bastards), have ruined American farming with their genetically altered crops, and have spread that same putrescence to many corners of the world. Europe, though, has been pretty good over the years about what kinda chemicals go into the food, but this week the EU disappointed tons of folks with a GMO decision. A colleague of mine, who will be known here as The Cyprus Experiment (thanks Aldous Huxley), brought to my attention an article in Sustainable Pulse talking about how the EU is about to approve Maize 1507, a GM Dupont product, for cultivation.
Other news sites have jumped on this story, which is turning a lot of heads and stoking the fires of controversy everywhere. The last GM crop to be approved was MON810, Monsanto’s pesticide-hurling super corn monstrosity. Since then, a majority of EU countries have opposed GM products in agriculture, and for good reason. Monsanto and other companies’ genetically altered crops and animal feeds have been linked to cancer and many other health catastrophes. And because agriculture is not 100% controllable (it’s still nature, kinda), seeds and chemicals tend to get mixed; even the organic farmer is in danger of GM infections in their products (not to fear, Monsanto will just sue you!).
In short, GM crops are bad for the environment, bad for health, but none of that seems to matter all that much when Monsanto is either persuading folks with piles of money or using an elite team of lawyers to hunt down anyone infringing on their seed patents.
According to Sustainable Pulse and other sites, countries such as the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland have fought and continue to oppose Pioneer 1507 (the new GMO). France, in particular, is extremely against GMOs in general; in total, 19 countries opposed the approval of Pioneer 1507. However, the UK, in contrast, is starkly in favor of 1507’s cultivation, supposedly in an effort to reinvigorate their agricultural output. The decision to approve the GMO is made more difficult because of Germany abstaining (those guys have a lot of decision weight in the EU) from the vote. Overall, a disappointment, as 1507, which packs a wallop as a weed killing genetic monster, can only be dangerous for public health and agricultural policy in Europe. It’s especially weird because in general Europe looks to the states, the homeland of Monsanto, Dupont, and Dow Chemical, as anything but a viable influence on policy.
Hopefully, the official decision, says Sustainable Pulse, will come on March 3, when the EU meets to chat about safe practices in health and agriculture. I say hopefully because by then they may have all come to their senses.
Already, GMOs have invaded Europe, which means even Europeans have to nervously read food labels and lose trust in their gastronomic cultures. The BBC reported that Spain is the largest market for GMOs, cultivating a pretty large amount of MON810. However, the situation is nowhere near as dire as the states in any way, but this new inclusion of Pioneer 1507 could change the landscape of food and farming in Europe. And not in a positive way. Industrial farm practices, one of them being genetically altered food products (still scary that life has been patented), are extremely dangerous for the environment and for the health of its most ignorant inhabitants (we seriously don’t know what we’re doing).
So, yeah, Europe, I really hope you listen to the 19 states that were vehemently opposed to this, and decide against following through. Also, Jamie Oliver, get your country out of Monsanto’s money grip, please.

First impressions can be important. Let's take a reaction test.
Yum! Large luscious fruit. A thornless bush. What's not to love?
I'm hearing a lot of Boo! Hiss! Nasty Monsanto!
Monkombu Sambasivan Swaminathan (MSS)
I can hear a pin drop. You've never heard of him, have you?
No, neither had I till I read his obituary the other day. Yet Time magazine included him with Gandhi in its list of the 20 most influential Asian people of the 20th century.
Son of a surgeon of Brahmin caste, MS Swaminathan (as he was always known) was studying zoology when he was deeply influenced and appalled by the famine in Bengal in 1943. A change of career direction saw him determined to improve food production. In the 15 years after India gained independence in 1947, food supplies, especially of wheat, were in a parlous state. The country was heavily dependent on imports from the US. The population was increasing at a ferocious rate. Outside observers were predicting a food Armageddon.
Working in conjunction with US plant scientist Norman Borlaug, MSS obtained high yielding wheat and rice plants from Japan. An important feature was their short stems, which made them less likely to break in stormy weather. (Here in Scotland we've done something similar with our barley.) He crossed them with Indian plants which could withstand the climate, and created a hybrid.
A hybrid, in the same way that a loganberry is a cross between a North American blackberry and a European raspberry. These were the days when genetic modification science was in its infancy. MSS was determined to learn more. In 1967 he produced his miracle grain, a dwarf wheat variety known as Sharbati Sonora. Wheat production increased to 20 million tonnes (now over 300 million). Inside a decade India went from being the world's largest importer of food grains to being a net exporter.
More research followed. For much of the 70s MSS was Director-General of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. Genetic modification was becoming his thing. He headed a programme designed to restore lost rice species destroyed in the Cambodian civil war. In the 1990s he used genetic modification techniques to produce varieties of rice which would be more tolerant of salt water and require less fertiliser and fewer pesticides.
Genetic modification. Boo! Hiss! Nasty Monsanto! Actually, MSS agreed with the latter sentiment. He was firmly of the belief that the science ought to be available to all, especially the poorer nations. He thoroughly disapproved of its exploitation for commercial gain. It says everything about the man that when he won the World Food Prize in 1987 ($200,000), he used the money to establish a research foundation to study nutrition and climate change. The organisation is still in existence. He died on September 28 aged 98.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you MS Swaminathan. A true food hero.

Welcome to our 2018 CSA page!
What is a CSA?
CSA stands for Community Shared Agriculture.
The idea is that farmers and community members work together in a supportive relationship. The members of our CSA (you) pay the farmers (us) at the beginning of the growing season for 18 weekly boxes full of fresh, organic, local produce. By selling memberships in advance of the growing season, a CSA reduces the burden of up-front costs for the farmer. Your membership fee enables the farmer to purchase equipment and supplies before the season starts, and also provides stability by giving access to a predictable and guaranteed market, which helps the farmer save time and reduce waste. In turn, members have the benefits of receiving a bounty of the freshest possible organic produce, reduced trips to the grocery store, the opportunity to try new vegetables, and a weekly newsletter that includes recipe ideas, which aims to keep members connected to where their food is being grown.
Is the CSA a good fit for me?
We love the CSA model, however, it is not a good fit for everyone! If you agree with the points listed below, you will likely have a great experience being a member of our CSA.
- I like trying new foods
- I like to eat locally and seasonally
- I enjoy cooking and experimenting with foods I may not usually eat
- I am okay with the farmers, rather than myself, deciding which vegetables I will receive each week
- Vegetables make up a significant part of my diet
Here are a few more key points about our 2018 CSA (more details can be found in the CSA agreement below).
- We have planned for our CSA to begin in early June, and run for 18 weeks. The exact start date will be dependent upon the spring weather which will affect our planting times and how fast the vegetables grow.
- There is a set day and time each week for your box pick-up, and it has changed from last year. Salmo members will pick up from our farm Wednesday evenings from 4:30-6:30PM, and Nelson members will pick up from Cottonwood Park on Monday evenings from 4:30-6:30PM.
- We are offering 2 share sizes: Large and small. A large share has a value of $25/week, and a small share has a value of $17/week. In general, a small share is suitable for a single person, or a family that has a garden but needs a supplement. Otherwise, a large share is your best bet.
- We have a vacation option this year. You can opt to sign up for the full season (18 weeks) but only pay for 16 weeks of vegetables. Give us a bit of notice and you can skip 2 box pickups at any point during the season.
- We are planning on having several options for “add ons” to your box this year such as gourmet mushrooms. Stay tuned for more details!
- Price: A large share is $450, or $400 with the vacation option. A small share is $306, or $272 with the vacation option. Pay your $50 deposit now to secure your spot!
How to Sign-Up for our CSA
As of early February, we have our crop plan finished, our seeds ordered, and are anticipating our first sowing date! It is incredibly helpful to us if we know how many CSA members we need to grow food for as early in the season as possible. The earlier you can sign up, the better prepared we will be!
Here’s what you need to do if you’re interested in signing up:
- Read the CSA agreement below and make sure that you understand exactly what you’re signing up for.
- If you are a returning member, you only need to fill out the CSA Member Information form if your contact info has changed since last season. If you are a new member, please fill out the member information form below and email it back to us (or give it to us in person if that’s easier for you). If you have difficulty filling out the form you can just send us an email with all the necessary information.We require a $50 deposit to secure your spot. The balance of the cost of the share will be due on May 1st. We are able to offer a more flexible payment schedule if required, please contact us for more details.
New for 2018! We have partnered with “Mr. Mercy’s Mushrooms”, a new Kaslo-based, gourmet mushroom business! This year, we will be offering a mushroom “add-on” option to your box – you can purchase a mushroom share and receive a 1/2lb of a selection of local, gourmet mushrooms every 2nd week. The total cost for a share (9 weeks of mushrooms throughout the 18 week CSA season, $7.50/week) is $67.50. If you would like more than a 1/2lb share, you can increase your share size by 1/2lb increments to suit your fancy. Please let us know if you would like to sign up for a mushroom share, or if you have any questions. Payment for the mushroom share can be done through e-transfer or paid to us the first week of box pickups.
Here is a short bio of Robin:
Robin Mercy, owner of Mr. Mercy’s Mushrooms, has been growing gourmet and medicinal mushrooms in Kaslo since 2016. Focusing on wood-loving strains such as Oysters, Elms and Lion’s Mane, he grows under shade outdoors, using hardwood chips and sawdust for fruiting media. Robin is excited to share his enthusiasm for all things mushroom with more and more people, and is looking forward to a big farm expansion and longer growing season in 2018, as well as lots of wild foraging. All of Mr. Mercy’s Mushrooms are seasonally grown, and picked fresh daily.

Get spooky in a dark forest, look for haunted house or pumpkins in this Halloween. One of place below you must be visit and Celebrate Halloween in Virginia in this October.
Fields of Fear at Cox Farm, Centreville
Cox Farms is family owned and operated. We strive to provide a unique farm experience for our visitors, celebrating the seasons with our local community and the greater Washington, DC region. We provide top-quality seasonal offerings, amazing customer service, and a wide range of fun family events and experiences on our farm. Our shared values of quality, respect, innovation, and community shape everything we do at Cox Farms. We hope you join us to celebrate your local tradition. . . for generations. Cox Farms was started by brothers Eric and Steven Cox in 1972 on 40 acres near Herndon, Virginia.?The brothers wanted to grow and sell their own homegrown produce through roadside markets in the burgeoning Northern Virginia suburbs. Within a few years, Eric’s wife Gina Richard had become a partner in the business, Steven had left to start Mom’s Apple Pie Company and Cox Farms was operating successful retail markets at the farm in Herndon and on Chain Bridge Road in Vienna.
Cox Farms specialized in bedding plants from their own greenhouses in spring, locally grown produce in summer, pumpkins and apples in fall, and Christmas trees in December.In 1979, the business had grown enough that Eric and Gina were able to purchase 116 acres on Braddock Road, west of Centreville, in the far western corner of Fairfax County. They scraped together every penny they could to purchase the land. “Nobody will ever travel that far out,” they were told by bankers and business advisors. “You’ll never get any customers way out there. But the suburbs sprawled westwards, growing up to surround the Cox Farms land: South Riding, Virginia Run and many more. Today Cox Farms’ 116 acre farm offers a treasured, green haven of undeveloped land in the Centreville / Chantilly community. That first fall in 1979, someone asked Eric if he would arrange a hayride for their group to pick pumpkins. In the 1980s, the Fall Festival was born on a single weekend. Fast forward to today, and the Cox Farms Fall Festival has become the largest and most popular fall festival in the DC area and Cox Farms’ most famous seasonal event. The next generation of the Cox-Richard clan (Lily, Aaron and Lucas) grew up on the farm, and today Aaron and Lucas are official Co-Farmers in Chief at Cox Farms. Their parents, Eric and Gina, are semi-retired (but still able to make their opinions known, in that special way parents have).
At the end of 2010, Cox Farms decided to close the Vienna location they had rented for 38 years, in order to concentrate future growth on the farm they own in Centreville. Don’t miss this Halloween. The ticket only $13 and up. Purchase online to avoid a longline.

Note: This post was first published on September 6, 2013, on my old blog.
My lengthiest stay this summer was at Clawhammer Farm, a lovely piece of land that runs longways from the top of a hill into a swampy valley. The farm raises pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, a milk cow, and a few goats. All the animals are antibiotic and hormone-free.
Upon my arrival I was greeted by a curious scene–not at all what I envisioned would be my “life on the farm” for the next couple weeks. Nick, one of the farmer duo, cooked Pad Thai in the kitchen while watching TV on a giant screen. Becky, the other half of the duo, and the farmhands drank beers and laughed at one thing or another: the farm dog Dart, or whatever silly show was on TV, or Nick’s hilarious outbursts from the kitchen. Clawhammer was clearly a departure from the farms I typically visit, which are owned and worked mostly by middle- and old-aged men in Alabama.
The next day, I was given a tour of the farm by my friend from New Orleans, Eric the woodworker. He introduced me to the nursing piglets and their giant mothers, the bunnies, the chickens, the ”grower” pigs (them’s for eating), the flock of sheep… and Beulah. Beulah’s the milk cow, and I’ll admit that I am a little obsessed with her now.
For a few years I ran the Homegrown Alabama Farmers Market in Tuscaloosa, so over the years I’ve visited quite a few farms. I’ve never worked on one though, and had never been to a farm that mainly produces meat. Animal farming seems to consist of much less time in the field than vegetable farming does. There is, however, plenty of work to be done. After finishing work some days, I’d take my camera out and hang out with the farm animals. Consider the photos that follow as your personal tour of the farm, as we travel from the swampy bottom to the hilltop:
On any given day, you’ll find beulah and the sheep grazing somewhere in here…
My next post shows the process of slaughtering and butchering (and eating!) a pig. It’s not for the faint of heart, but seeing the slaughter gave me new perspective on being a meat eater.
I hope you enjoyed the tour!
Clawhammer Farm delivers a meat CSA to Brooklyn, and supplies various restaurants in NYC with fresh, happy pork. You can also slaughter your own pig on the farm! www.clawhammerfarm.com

Panama Red marijuana is a legendary strain known for its potent effects and vibrant red hairs. Originating from Panama, this sativa-dominant strain has gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide. Cultivating Panama Red outdoors can be a rewarding experience for both experienced growers and beginners alike. In this article, we will guide you through the process of cultivating Panama Red marijuana outdoors, from choosing the right seeds to harvesting and curing your plants.
Growing Conditions for Cultivating Panama Red Outdoors
Before embarking on your Panama Red marijuana cultivation journey, it is essential to understand the ideal growing conditions for this strain. Panama Red thrives in a warm and tropical climate, making it suitable for outdoor cultivation in regions with long summers and ample sunshine. The strain prefers a temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Additionally, Panama Red requires a moderate humidity level of around 40-50%.
Choosing the Right Panama Red Marijuana Seeds
Selecting high-quality Panama Red marijuana seeds is crucial for a successful cultivation process. When purchasing seeds, it is recommended to opt for reputable seed banks or online suppliers to ensure genetic authenticity and reliable germination rates. Look for feminized or auto-flowering seeds, as they eliminate the need to identify and remove male plants, streamlining the cultivation process. Additionally, consider the desired yield and effects when choosing between regular and high-yield seeds.
Preparing the Soil for Outdoor Cultivation
Preparing the soil is a critical step in cultivating Panama Red marijuana outdoors. Start by selecting a well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. If the soil in your area is heavy or clay-like, amend it with organic matter such as compost or perlite to improve drainage. Clear the cultivation area of any weeds or debris and loosen the soil using a garden fork or tiller. This will promote healthy root growth and allow for better nutrient absorption.
After preparing the soil, consider conducting a soil test to assess its nutrient content. Panama Red marijuana plants require a balanced blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as trace minerals such as calcium and magnesium. Based on the soil test results, amend the soil with organic fertilizers or nutrients specifically formulated for cannabis cultivation. Ensure that the soil is evenly mixed with the amendments to provide a nutrient-rich environment for your Panama Red plants.
Planting and Germinating Panama Red Marijuana Seeds
Once the soil is prepared, it’s time to plant and germinate your Panama Red marijuana seeds. Start by creating small holes in the soil, approximately 1 inch deep. Place the seeds in the holes and cover them with soil, gently patting it down to secure them in place. Water the soil thoroughly, ensuring that it is evenly moist but not soaked. To aid germination, maintain a temperature of around 75°F (24°C) and provide sufficient sunlight or artificial light.
It is important to note that Panama Red marijuana seeds may require a longer germination period compared to other strains. Be patient and monitor the soil moisture levels regularly. Once the seedlings emerge, ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight or provide supplementary grow lights if necessary. As the plants grow, thin out any weaker seedlings to allow the healthier ones to thrive and develop into robust Panama Red marijuana plants.
Outdoor Care and Maintenance for Panama Red Plants
Caring for Panama Red marijuana plants outdoors involves several important tasks to ensure their healthy growth and maximum yield. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells or hot weather. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot and other issues. Additionally, consider using organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weed growth around the plants.
To promote strong and sturdy plants, provide adequate support, such as stakes or trellises for the branches as they grow taller. This will prevent the plants from bending or breaking under their weight. Pruning is also essential to maintain proper airflow and prevent the development of mold or mildew. Remove any yellowing or dying leaves and trim excessive foliage to allow sunlight to reach the lower parts of the plant.
Protecting Panama Red Marijuana Plants from Pests and Diseases
As with any outdoor cultivation, Panama Red marijuana plants are vulnerable to pests and diseases. Implementing preventive measures can help safeguard your plants and ensure a successful harvest. Regularly inspect the plants for signs of common cannabis pests such as aphids, spider mites, or caterpillars. If detected, consider using organic pest control methods such as neem oil or insecticidal soap to eliminate the infestation.
Disease prevention is equally important. Avoid overhead watering, as it can create a humid environment conducive to fungal diseases. Provide proper spacing between plants to promote airflow and reduce the risk of mold or mildew. If necessary, apply organic fungicides to prevent or treat fungal infections. Regularly monitor your Panama Red marijuana plants for any signs of disease or distress and take appropriate action promptly.
Harvesting and Curing Panama Red Marijuana
After months of care and nurturing, the time for harvest will finally arrive. Harvesting Panama Red marijuana should be done when the trichomes, the tiny resin glands on the flower buds, turn from clear to cloudy or amber. This indicates that the THC levels have reached their peak and the plants are ready for harvest. Use a sharp pair of pruning shears to carefully cut the branches, leaving a few inches of stem attached.
Once harvested, it is crucial to properly cure the Panama Red marijuana buds to enhance their flavor, potency, and overall quality. Start by trimming away any excess leaves or stems from the branches. Hang the branches upside down in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated space with a temperature of around 70°F (21°C) and a humidity level of 45-55%. Allow the buds to dry slowly over a period of 7-10 days, monitoring the moisture levels regularly.
Panama Red Marijuana Seeds
If you’re ready to embark on your marijuana cultivation journey, it’s essential to source high-quality seeds from a reputable supplier. Growers Choice Seeds is a trusted seed bank to order panama red marijuana seeds online and a wide selection of premium cannabis seeds, including Panama Red. Visit www.growerschoiceseeds.com to browse for top quality marijuana seeds and place your order with confidence.
The Difference Between Panama Red Marijuana and Hemp
While Panama Red marijuana is sought after for its psychoactive effects, hemp is a non-intoxicating variety of cannabis. Hemp is primarily cultivated for industrial purposes, such as fiber production, seed oil, and CBD extraction. Unlike Panama Red marijuana, which contains high levels of THC, hemp contains minimal THC and higher levels of CBD. The distinction between the two lies in their genetic makeup and intended use.
Cultivating Panama Red marijuana outdoors can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for cannabis enthusiasts. By understanding the ideal growing conditions, selecting quality seeds, and providing proper care and maintenance, you can cultivate robust Panama Red plants that yield potent and vibrant buds. Remember to protect your plants from pests and diseases, harvest at the right time, and cure the buds properly to maximize their quality. With dedication and attention to detail, you’ll soon enjoy the fruits of your labor as you savor the unique effects of Panama Red marijuana.

I have always loved eating nuts and legumes, and they have become a staple in our diet ever since we've started to reduce the amount of meat we are eating. You can't imagine how distressed I was the first time I heard the idea that some of the foods I had considered super foods (foods like tomatoes and beans) were high in lectins- a compound classified as an "anti-nutrient"! For more on this theory and the science behind it, you might want to check out this book by Dr. Gundry: The Plant Paradox**
Without diving too deeply into the subject, here is the gist: Lectins in plants act as a defense mechanism to protect them from insects, fungi and pathogens. For foods we eat in the seed form (like grains and legumes), it's really a survival mechanism for the plant. You see, the seeds of certain plants produce compounds that are meant to inhibit digestion when consumed by an animal. This may be because a seed that passes through a digestive tract "unharmed" can still end up back in the soil and grow, or it may be because a food that causes digestive distress will be less appealing to the animal that has eaten it the next time the animal is foraging for food. Either way, anti-nutrients are bad news for us humans!
The good news is, a lot of the "bad" compounds found in natural foods can be neutralized with a few simple tricks. Just like the process of fermentation can turn lactose in milk into gut-healthy acids and probiotics (for more information, check out my instructions for making kefir), the process of sprouting can help convert the starches and "anti-nutrients" in plants and seeds into enzymes, vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed.
THE PROCESS OF SPROUTING SEEDS, SIMPLIFIED
We've tried sprouting a few different seeds (almonds and miscellaneous dried beans), but our best, most consistent results have been with chickpeas, so that is a great place to start. The process is so simple anyone can do it. All you need is a bag of dried chickpeas, a pot, a colander and a lid that fits inside it, and some water.
The basic steps for sprouting seeds are, soak them in water for a set amount of time, then transfer them to a container that allows the water to drain while keeping the seeds nice and moist until they begin to sprout. Then (for things that require cooking), cook until tender and you have an extra-healthy version of a simple food that really IS a super food!
STEP-BY-STEP SPROUTED CHICKPEAS:
1. Pour bag of dried chickpeas into a colander and rinse well, then transfer to a large bowl or pot, cover with water and soak for 12 - 24 hours. Drain, rinse well (mixing chickpeas with hands) and refill with water every 4 - 6 hours when possible (of course if this includes an overnight soak, rinsing once before bed and once again in the morning is usually enough during the night).
Notes: When soaking, make sure water level is at least 1" above surface of chickpeas because those little guys will really soak it up. In drier climates, I find it's best to soak for the full 24 hours. Also, place the pot out of direct sunlight. You can cover it with a lid or a clean towel, or leave it uncovered for this step.
2. Transfer soaked chickpeas to a stainless steel colander, rinse well and cover with a lid that fits inside the colander and close to the top of the chickpeas. Rinse well with cold water (always tossing chickpeas with hands to redistribute them) every 2-4 hours when possible.
Note: There are 2 reasons for rinsing and replacing the water. The first is to keep the chickpeas moist to encourage sprouting. The second is to prevent mold from growing. Like with step 1, it's not necessary to get up in the night to do this, and it should be fine to let it go for a few hours during the day as well; I've found chickpeas to be pretty resilient, so if your schedule is limited, just rinse them when you can.
3. As soon as you see the little sprouts popping through, the chickpeas are ready to cook. I give them one final rinse and place them in a pot with water and a dash of salt and bring it to a boil. Once the water boils, lower the heat and simmer until the chickpeas reach the tenderness to your liking. Drain, rinse and serve or store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Note: I like my chickpeas a little al dente because I feel like it gives them a nuttier taste in salads, but that is a personal decision. Also, if you plan to add them to a cooked dish, like chili or soup, it's better to undercook them a little bit to prevent them from getting too soft when they are reheated later.
A FEW SERVING SUGGESTIONS
As a summer salad: Combine with chopped Vidalia onions and cucumbers, fresh cherry tomatoes, and feta cheese, then toss with olive oil and seasonings.
As a warm winter treat: Use chickpeas in place of any beans in your favorite chili recipe
As a healthy snack anytime: Dry well, then toss with olive oil and your favorite seasonings (like garlic powder, salt or curry powder) and roast in the oven until crispy.
THE SCIENCE, SIMPLIFIED
Mother nature has a way of protecting her children. Plants that are high in lectin and other digestion inhibiting agents have them because they are protective compounds- at least from the plant's point of view. The natural compounds that make seeds more difficult for animals to digest, help the plant to propagate. But once the sprouting process begins, the chemical composition of the seed changes. Starches are converted into fuel and enzymes and vitamins are released, all to help the growing seed thrive. What's great for the little sprout is great for us too!
Some health benefits of sprouting foods:
- It increases the level of available vitamins and minerals
- It eliminates most of the gas-producing starches
- It increases the protein content
- It shortens the cooking time
- It increases the level of living enzymes (enzymes help to break down the food and enhance the absorption of nutrients by the body)
A FEW TIPS
- If your chickpeas start to get a gray or green tinge, that's most likely mold. The batch probably sat a little too long between rinses, or the room temperature was a little too warm. Either way, you'll need to toss that batch, wash everything really well and start again. Remember, it's important to rinse fairly often.
- If at least some of your chickpeas don't begin sprouting after 36 hours in step 2, there's a problem. The chickpeas need to remain moist during the entire sprouting process so be sure to rinse often and keep a lid over the colander.
- I started out using bottled spring water for this process, but quickly realized that was overkill. I now use filtered water from my refrigerator for soaking (step 1) and cooking (step 3), and rinse with water straight from the tap (step 2). If you have water with a high chlorine level or hardness and you run into problems, you may want to switch to filtered water for your rinses.
TAKING LICENSE WITH THE LIVING FOOD CATEGORY
I may have taken a little bit of artistic license, grouping sprouted chickpeas into the living food category since that title is generally reserved for fermented foods (where "living" refers to the living organisms- healthy bacteria and yeast- that are found in them). While you can eat sprouted almonds raw, the sprouted chickpeas are cooked before eating so they are not actually living at the time of consumption. But they are definitely living during the sprouting process and super-healthy so I think they deserve a spot here.
I hope you enjoy the process and the benefits of this simple food transformation.

Greenhouse plastic is mainly responsible for preserving a hothouse result within a greenhouse. Greenhouse plastic develops a warm and suitable growing environment that permits numerous kinds of plants to cultivate perfectly. It develops an enclosure that secures plants from the hazardous ultraviolet rays of the sun while making the most of its natural heat and light. The filtered environment produced by greenhouse plastic makes it possible for garden enthusiasts to grow luscious plants like veggies and flowers in the cold dead of winter season.
Greenhouse plastic is clearly developed to resist wear and tear unlike conventional building and construction plastic that can not filter ultraviolet rays from the sun. Greenhouse plastic is resilient due to its knitted design that permits it to be cut and sized to satisfy the required length for a structure without tearing, tearing or ripping. The material can easily be framed around any greenhouse opening like a vent, door or windows.
Greenhouse plastic is the favored covering of the majority of garden lovers compared to other types of greenhouse covering. When greenhouse plastic is used considering that it lightweight and does not need heavy-duty structural framing, at the very same time expenses are greatly lowered. The diffusion of light into a structure constructed of greenhouse plastic is as excellent as that of a glass greenhouse.
Types of Greenhouse Plastic
Greenhouse plastic movies are typically made of 3 types of plastics namely, PVC or polyvinyl polyethylene, chloride or pe and copolymers. Although, there are other kinds of plastic used these three are most commonly used amongst all.
Polyethylene greenhouse plastic is readily available in two types, the utility grade and the industrial grade greenhouse plastic. Energy grade polyethylene greenhouse plastic is offered at regional hardware shops and typically remains in excellent condition for practically a year. Commercial grade polyethylene greenhouse plastic last longer that energy grade PE as much as eighteen months and is treated with ultraviolet inhibitors that filter out ultraviolet rays.
Copolymers are more resilient and last approximately three years. Innovative ingredients introduced into greenhouse plastic enable it to simulate the same results of a glass greenhouse at significantly lowered expenses. Polyvinyl chloride is more expensive compared to polyethylene nevertheless this kind of greenhouse plastic can last as much as 5 years. However PVC greenhouse plastic needs regular cleaning to avoid dust accumulation from the air. It is also sold in smaller sheets of four feet by 6 feet large.
How to Attach Greenhouse Plastic to Frame
When the frame has been developed it is time to put on the greenhouse plastic film to confine the whole structure. The plastic film can either be made from polyethylene, copolymers or polyvinyl chloride depending the choice of the owner. However as much as possible choose a greenhouse plastic that is resistant to ultraviolet rays in order to take advantage of the structure. Prior to laying the greenhouse plastic covering on the frame it is essential to mask the joints of the frames with several rounds of tape or a rubber material to prevent it from piercing the covering.
The greenhouse plastic film can be protected in place using a staple weapon. A more rigid building using 1" by 2" wood strips and wood screws can likewise be utilized to secure the greenhouse plastic movie in location. The wood strips are connected to the frame so that the greenhouse plastic movie does not come in direct contact with the frame.
Air is presented into the framed plastics that produce a dead air zone, which can efficiently insulate the entire greenhouse. Numerous tapes like poly patching tape and batten tape can be website utilized to protect greenhouse plastic into place.
Its outstanding holding strength and large tape make an ideal for protecting the plastic movie to the frame of the greenhouse. On the other hand batten tape can be attached the plastic movie utilizing tacks or staples to the greenhouse structure.

RH2 Engineering, Inc., has been providing civil engineering, planning, and environmental services to municipal and irrigation clients across the Pacific Northwest for 40 years. RH2 can provide irrigation district clients with designs for full facility upgrades or evaluations of their assets that allow them to pinpoint crucial pieces of infrastructure to repair or replace. RH2’s efficiency-boosting designs include variable frequency drives and automatic controls. In this interview, RH2 Project Manager Kyle Smith speaks with Irrigation Leader about his company’s services and the trends he sees today in the irrigation infrastructure world.
Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) is the largest irrigation district in Idaho, covering 69,000 acres and serving 100,000 water users. Over recent decades, its area has undergone a dramatic process of urbanization, necessitating the construction of a pressure urban irrigation system. It also went through the title transfer process with the Bureau of Reclamation during the 1980s and 1990s, acquiring title to its infrastructure and helping to shape the title transfer process along the way. In this interview, outgoing NMID Secretary-Treasurer and Secretary of the Board Daren Coon takes a look back at his long career at the district and provides us with the insights he has gained along…
Lorri Gray, the director of the Bureau of Reclamation’s Columbia–Pacific Northwest Region, has been working for the agency since high school. With experience working for Reclamation in Nevada; Washington, DC; and Idaho in a wide range of positions, Director Gray knows the agency inside and out. In this interview with Irrigation Leader, Director Gray discusses Reclamation’s recent steps to address the Odessa groundwater area, the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan (YBIP), and the Columbia River Treaty.
Lorri Gray has been working for the Bureau of Reclamation since high school.

Daren Coon has had a long and fruitful career in irrigation. He has been at Idaho’s Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District for 44 years and has been its secretary-treasurer and secretary of the board for more than three decades. During his time at the district, Mr. Coon has overseen the installation of a pressure urban pipeline system, a rapid changeover in district technology, and title transfer, among many other accomplishments. Mr. Coon is now retiring, surely with a sense of satisfaction. Bravo, Daren, and thank you for your work in the irrigation field! In this issue, we also speak with Kyle Smith of RH2 Engineering, Inc., which provides water, sewer, and irrigation services to agencies across the Northwest, and to Tim Hicks…

Hi there, I am Marion! I’ve been gardening for decades, so I’ve pulled my hair out over a few seasons, wondering what I did wrong. And yes, I’ve returned to the nursery to buy replacement plants more times than I’d like to admit…
I knew there had to be a better, easier way to grow seedlings without all the guesswork and stress. So I spent 10 years experimenting with starting seeds, talking with experts, trying new techniques, and letting go of all of the standard gardening “rules” that just didn’t work…
Bit by proven bit, I crafted the 'Seed-Starting Secrets' workshop around my High-Five method to clear up all the confusing and conflicting information out there. I’ve found this High-Five Method is the most effective way to help all gardeners repeatedly and successfully raise a family of plants without pulling their hair out or sneaking back to the nursery (like me!) to buy replacement plants…For over 30 years, I've helped gardeners around the world through my classes, weekly organic gardening columns, and international conferences as a keynote speaker and workshop presenter.
My photographs have been featured by the Nature Conservancy, Reader's Digest, and The Smithsonian. I also co-authored Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, which spent three happy months on The New York Times bestseller list.
Gardeners deserve a tried-and-true method for starting seeds that actually work. Seed-Starting Secrets follows my proven, no-nonsense "High-Five" method that I developed after years of experience and trial and error, and it will give you the garden of your dreams. No confusion, no stress, no guesswork. Just beautiful, thriving seedlings that mature into beautiful, thriving plants in your garden.

Cuttings are an ever-so slightly magical part of gardening. What could be more wondrous than cutting off a small piece of a plant as big as a tree, propping it in some compost and watching a whole new plant develop? There is, of course, no magic, just a simple scientific process, but that never stops it feeling special.
Taking cuttings belongs to a group of techniques known as vegetative propagation, along with division and more advanced techniques such as budding, grafting and micro-propagation. A cutting is genetically identical to its parent plant and this allows a desirable trait to be multiplied again and again.
The most famous example of vegetatively propagated plants is surely the Hass Avocado a cultivar grown from seed. Grown now across the globe, and is essentially just one seedling grown by Rudolph Hass in 1962 which is now grown by grafting, so that any new plants are just copies from the ideal mother tree. Owing to its taste, size, shelf-life, high growing yield and in some areas, year-round harvesting, the Hass cultivar is the most commercially popular avocado worldwide.
While this creates a wonderfully uniform product that tastes the same wherever you go and is easy to pack, what happens if a new avocado disease appears that solely targets the Hass Avocado. Which plants will be different enough to develop some resistance?
Compare the technique of taking cutting with that of raising a new plant from seed. Here, the plant’s DNA is allowed to express itself and genetic variety creeps in, so that a plant raised from seed has every chance of being distinctly different to its parent, also known as plant diversity or seedling variation.
So why does the humble gardener take cuttings? To provide an insurance policy against winter cold killing tender, experimental plants, speed up fruiting, to regenerate old trees and shrubs that are no longer growing successfully and to multiply desirable plants for free.

Methods For Using A Bountiful And Productive Garden
Every gardener hopes for developing a thriving garden. For some, this is a reality, for a few it isn’t. In order to achieve your ideal of the beautiful garden, there are several things to learn. Gardening might be a lots of work, but it can also be loads of fun. The next article will provide you with advice to produce gardening entertaining.
Clay soil makes by using a shovel difficult. The clay is difficult and sticks for the shovel. Coat and buff the digging end from the shovel with automobile wax to create digging easier. This causes the clay to slip as opposed to stick, and prevents rust as being a complication.
All soil is not the identical. You need to look into the soil to be certain it’s the most effective for what you’re planting. You can obtain a soil analysis for any nominal fee. Using that report, you are able to amend your soil when needed for the thriving garden. You can often find Cooperative Extension offices which provide the service, that can help to create your garden flourish.
Use bulbs to make certain continuous flowers through the entire summer and spring.
Bulbs are hearty and will keep growing each year my sources Include a variety of plantings to obtain a full season of flowers, from early bloomers to late-season varieties.
Will not mow your lawn near to the bottom. When you leave your grass kind of high, your roots will probably be deeper and your lawn will likely be stronger rather than dry up. The shorter the grass is, the shorter the roots are, which results in a dry lawn.
A good way to correct your soil’s alkalinity is by amending your soil with used coffee grounds. The coffee grounds are an economical strategy to give some acid returning to the dirt. This easy act can result in vegetables that taste better and look more inviting.
Should you prefer a strange, yet successful, green response to eliminating weeds, boil these people to death. The safest herbicide which can be used in your garden is a simple pot of boiling water. All you need to do is apply boiling water directly to the weeds you want to remove. Take care not to get any around the plants you need to keep. Boiling water will in fact hurt the roots, and this will stop the weeds from growing.
If you’re likely to grow peas, start them indoors before putting them in the earth outside. Seeds are more likely to sprout when started indoors. They will also be stronger, and much better equipped to face up to disease and insects. After they are suitably strong, transplant them outside.
Get yourself a wheelbarrow as well as a kneeling stool to work in your garden. Gardening can be very tough on your knees, so a kneeling stool that is certainly ergonomic and light-weight can certainly make things much more comfortable and enjoyable. You will need a wheelbarrow to be able to perform various gardening chores, this is a a valuable thing to have available.
Using these tips, you’re better equipped to increase the most beautiful garden you can imagine. In learning how to make your dream garden, you’ll also be growing being a person. That’s because learning how to nurture your plants is not going to only assist you to reach the purpose of using a great garden, but it can help you learn how to nurture yourself..

OPINION: This Harvest Season, Thank an Idaho FarmerWednesday September 27, 2023
Fall is a season of transition.
The summer heat and longer days start to fade, and the crisp air and changing leaves begin to arrive. The kids are back in school, football is back on weekends, and the holiday season is right around the corner.
While all of this is true, to me, fall also means the start of another endeavor: harvest season.
Idaho has been, currently is, and will always be an agriculture state. It is what we are known for. Ask anyone what they think of when they think of Idaho – more than likely their first response will be potatoes. This is understandable, as each year Idaho grows roughly 14 billion pounds of potatoes, enough to earn us the #1 spot for potato production in the country.
But contrary to popular belief, Idaho is also a top contributor of more than just potatoes. Idaho is:
- Ranked #1 in barley, peppermint, and alfalfa hay production.
- The 2nd largest grower of sugar beets and hops.
- The 3rd largest producer of milk and cheese.
- Ranked 4th in the production of onions, peas, spring wheat, and lentils.
The Gem State ranks in the top ten in the nation for 30 different agriculture commodities. Our farmers are the top exporters of many products that Americans rely on. The Idaho potato is world-famous for a reason – our potato farmers help feed the world.
It’s also important to note that unlike many of the traditional farm states in the Midwest, most of Idaho’s farms are not owned by a single entity. Idaho is home to nearly 25,000 individual farms and ranches. I am among that number – as a fourth-generation cattle rancher, my family is still running our cattle ranch in Oakley that was first established in the 1800’s by my great-grandfather.
Our mom-and-pop operations are the backbone of our agriculture industry; they have a direct or indirect effect in nearly every avenue, from our state economy to our everyday way of life. Idaho’s farming operations equate to more than 11.5 million acres of Idaho land that is used to raise cattle and grow crops for our country. These acres make an impact – 18% of Idaho’s total economic output is from agribusiness alone.
Idaho’s ag industry is only getting better. Last year, Idaho’s net farm income was estimated to be more than $3 billion – a 56% increase from 2021 and the highest net income Idaho has seen in recorded history. 2022 also saw the highest milk revenues ever at $4.2 billion, as well as cattle revenues, which came in at $1.9 billion.
We depend on our farmers and ranchers for more than food, too. One out of every eight jobs in Idaho is related to agriculture, whether it’s direct or indirect, one out of every six dollars in sales in our state was related to agriculture.
The importance of agriculture in Idaho cannot be overstated. Our farmers work hard year-round, from sunup to sundown, to feed our growing population. Idaho’s elected leaders understand the value of our farmers. Idaho continues to be proactive in supporting programs that improve the quality of our soil, water, and air, to ensure a sustainable, resilient, and economically viable agricultural system.
Idaho has been discovered. There are people moving to the Gem State every day who like the way we live and want to be a part of it. But what we all must keep in mind is that while growth is necessary, so is maintaining a viable industry and a historic part of Idaho’s identity. Our farm acres should be respected for the bounty they provide. We need our farmers and ranchers – the world needs Idaho ag producers.
So, this harvest season, let’s keep our agribusinesses in mind. Next time you gather friends and family for a backyard barbecue, thank an Idaho rancher. Next time you’re pouring your kids a glass of milk, thank an Idaho dairyman. Next time you’re enjoying a hot, fresh French fry – thank an Idaho farmer.

Help Waldo Farmers and Flea Market celebrate National Farmers Market Week, August 6th-12th, 2017
Preserve America’s rural livelihoods and farmland. Farmers markets provide one of the only low-barrier entry points for beginning farmers, allowing them to start small, test the market, and grow their businesses. Farmers and Flea Markets are truly small business incubators!
Stimulate local economies. Did you know growers selling locally create 13 full time farm operator jobs per $1 million in revenue earned? Those that do not sell locally create only 3.
Increase access to fresh, nutritious food. Several studies have found lower prices for conventional and organic produce at farmers markets than at supermarkets.
Support healthy communities. Farmer’s market vendors educate their shoppers. Four out of five farmers selling at markets discuss farming practices with their customers, and three in five discuss nutrition and how to prepare food.
Promote sustainability. Three out of every four farmers selling at farmers markets say they use practices consistent with organic standards.
Farmers Markets Stimulate Local Economies Enticed by the festive sights, sounds, smells, and tastes, more and more people are choosing to shop for fresh, local foods sold at farmers markets. According to an impact study conducted by Civic Economics, locally owned retailers like farmers and flea markets return more than three times as much of their revenue to the local economy than do their corporate competitors. This means your farmers market purchases not only stock your pantry with healthy, fresh food, but also recycle money throughout your community, boosting economic activity and job creation. As the demand for fresh, local food continues to grow, farmers markets are being recognized as important retail anchors for economic commerce. The more than 8,000 markets across the nation are the driving impetus of consumer support for local farmers – while at the same time are creating opportunities for small businesses to stimulate local and regional economies. Markets are more than just a venue for fresh food and a friendly atmosphere; the revenue they generate helps your community prosper.
Are You Ready for National Farmers Market Week?

The Davoli brand olive oil is made from Carolea olives and is considered raw (not heated) because it is produced at room temperature. Many refer to this type of olive oil as living olive oil. This is due to the fact that all the nutrients present in the cooking oil are living and therefore intact. Calabria has a long tradition in the production of premium quality gourmet food oil with low acidity and excellent organoleptic properties. The olive groves are usually small in size and are transferred through the generations from father to son. These olive trees are cultivated in a way that is natural and without pesticides. The special climatic conditions of the area such as the sea, the mountains, the sun and the sky that come together in harmony, make this stone ground extra virgin oil quite unique. The Davoli™ oil with its light aroma of fresh raw olives and its smooth full bodied taste gives special flavor to salads, seafood, stakes, pastry and makes every dish taste better.
Davoli™ cooking oil has not been heated during processing and therefore retains its full nutritional value. We purchase the Davoli™ Italian olive oil directly from farmers that own both the olive groves and have their own olive mill on the ranch. This allows them to process the olives right away and at low temperatures, which results in raw living and unfiltered olive oils with very low acidity and superior quality, taste and aroma. As a result, we stand 100% behind our Davoli™ cooking oil and we guarantee it to be absolutely wonderful olive oil in terms of both taste and aroma. As a result, Monica’s Fine Foods gives you a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee on our Italian olive oil.
As you probably know, all olive oils are not created equal. The composition of olive oil, which as all vegetable oils is made up of triglycerides and minor components, greatly depends, among other things, on climatic conditions, soil quality and fruit variety. We want to assure you that Davoli virgin oil is of the highest quality available. Our Italian olive oil is in compliance with all Italian and European laws that govern the production, harvesting, processing and labeling of olive oil and meets or exceeds all standards set by Italy, the European Union and the U.S. with respect to olive oil. It is stone ground and cold pressed and contains 100% natural olive juice with no additives or mixtures of lower grade olive oils or less expensive oils, as is often the case with cheaper olive oils available in the marketplace. The acidity of our olive oils is always guaranteed to be between 0-0.8% and in most cases it is in the range of 0.25-0.6%. Our Italian extra virgin cold pressed gourmet olive oil is available as standard completely unfiltered. Davoli™ olive oil retains it’s full nutritional value and is an excellent product. Our cold pressed Italian olive oil is always unfiltered, it can be cloudy although this is not always the case, and you may notice a little sentiment at the bottom of the bottle, which is quite normal for premium quality unfiltered cold pressed extra virgin raw olive oil.

Sustainability Studies intern
I came into this internship not knowing much about gardening.
I am learning a lot!
Sometimes it’s hard to keep everything straight. I know that carrots and tomatoes are companionplants now. Also I learned you have to be very delicate transporting cilantro! I have learned how
to make a teepee for plants with vines. I also learned how to build a trellis for tomato plants, andhelped make a homemade upside down tomato plant as well!
I absolutely love working for Green Bridge Growers. I love that they help provide starter
plants for the gardens at Hannah and Friends! The relationship between these two organizations is amazing!
After I graduate in December I want to work with special needs adults and children.
I have had the opportunity to work with the Hannah and Friends day program a little bit. One of the girls, Rachel, loves to plant and help out in the garden. She helped me plant carrots and radishes on Tuesday. I didn’t have any assumptions coming into this since I don’t know much about gardening. So far though, I am so happy with my internship. I love going there.
Green Bridge Growers strives to grow organic fruits, herbs and vegetables. They will be
selling herbs grown on the skywalk between the double tree and the century center. This fulfills system condition one by reducing the gas and coal used to transport herbs across state lines. Most herbs will most likely just be walked to the restaurants. This is something that is in the process of happening.
So far what I have done is just work on the Hannah and Friends grounds. Green Bridge Growers is also reducing the amount of coal and gas used by taking many of the
plants grown in the greenhouse and just transporting them to the Hannah and Friends grounds. We just walk the plants from the greenhouse to where they are planted!

In the thriving landscape of the cannabis industry, EarthlyHemps has carved a distinct path with its mastery in producing high-quality THCA indoor cultivation. This journey, from seed to crystal, reflects not only a commitment to excellence but also a dedication to sustainability and innovation.
EarthlyHemps, a prominent player in the cannabis market, has embarked on a remarkable journey in mastering the art of producing THCA indoors. This journey goes beyond conventional cultivation, delving into the intricate processes that transform a seed into pristine THCA crystals. Let’s dive into the details of this fascinating expedition.
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a precursor to THC, the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis. EarthlyHemps recognizes the significance of THCA, not just as a precursor but as a valuable compound with its own unique properties.
The Genesis of EarthlyHemps
Founded with a passion for cannabis cultivation, EarthlyHemps set out to redefine the standards of quality in the industry. Their vision and mission center around providing consumers with a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations.
Indoor Cultivation Advantages

Seed Selection Process
The journey begins with the careful selection of seeds. EarthlyHemps follows strict criteria, considering factors such as genetic stability, cannabinoid profile, and yield potential. This meticulous process lays the foundation for the quality of the final THCA product.
EarthlyHemps employs advanced cultivation techniques that go beyond traditional methods. Their commitment to sustainable and organic practices ensures not only the health of the plants but also the environmental impact of cultivation.
At the heart of EarthlyHemps’ success is the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology in their cultivation processes. From automated climate control to innovative nutrient delivery systems, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of indoor THCA.
Harvesting and Extraction
Timing is crucial in harvesting cannabis plants for THCA production. EarthlyHemps has perfected the art of determining the optimal time for harvest to ensure maximum cannabinoid content. The extraction methods employed further contribute to the purity and potency of the final product.
Quality Control Measures
EarthlyHemps is unwavering in its commitment to quality. Rigorous testing processes, including third-party testing, guarantee that every batch meets the highest standards. This dedication sets EarthlyHemps apart in an industry where quality is paramount.
The Art of Crystal Formation
The pinnacle of EarthlyHemps’ journey is the formation of THCA crystals. This intricate process involves carefully manipulating conditions to encourage crystal growth. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and solvent choice influence the size and purity of the crystals.
Market Impact of EarthlyHemps’ THCA
The demand for high-quality THCA is on the rise, and EarthlyHemps has positioned itself as a key player in the market. Consumers seeking a premium and consistent THCA experience turn to EarthlyHemps for a product that reflects the culmination of expertise and innovation.
Challenges in the Journey
The journey from seed to crystal is not without its challenges. EarthlyHemps has faced and overcome obstacles in perfecting its indoor cultivation processes, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and resilience in the face of adversity.
Sustainability is at the core of EarthlyHemps’ values. The company takes pride in implementing environmentally friendly practices, from energy-efficient cultivation facilities to eco-friendly packaging, reducing its overall carbon footprint.
Looking ahead, EarthlyHemps envisions further innovations in indoor THCA production. The company is dedicated to staying at the forefront of advancements in cultivation, extraction, and crystal formation, ensuring it remains a leader in the dynamic cannabis industry.

Banana brand nets bunch of awards
Ceinconsa SA, growers of BanaBay bananas, the new brand launched earlier this year, have netted an impressive two places in the hotly contested ‘Banana King’ competition, which is held each year in Ecuador – a country recognised worldwide for producing premium quality bananas.
Competing with over 30 established plantations for five winning positions, BanaBay premium bananas were judged on both size and quality. After a thorough examination of each plantation’s entry, the judges announced the winners, including both third and fourth position for BanaBay producers Ceinconsa.
Plantation director Danilo Serrano was extremely pleased with the result, “We were up against plantations widely known as the best in Ecuador, so the pressure was really on,” he said. “We’re extremely happy to have achieved both third and fourth place – out of five positions on the podium, our BanaBay bananas were on two! It was great to have the quality of our fruit recognized in this way by the industry.”
Since BanaBay bananas were introduced into the UK just nine months ago, the new brand has gone from strength to strength, with a million BanaBay bananas transported a week, not only supplying the UK, but also being importing into Ireland, The Netherlands, Egypt and, most recently, New Zealand.
Managing Director Mark O’Sullivan believes the brand’s success is due to the premium quality of the produce, but also the direct sourcing opportunity created by the company’s 50% Ecuadorian and 50% UK ownership, which means customers enjoy the benefits of shorter, more flexible supply chains and can have confidence in reliability of supply.
“Our success in this Ecuadorian competition confirms what we already know – our bananas are top quality,” he says. “Feedback from the marketplace confirms people love both the look and the taste of our bananas – and clearly the judges agreed!”
BanaBay bananas are grown on extensive, ethically managed plantations, harvested and shipped all over the world. The growers have built a reputation for quality over the last thirty years; currently they hold GlobalGAP certification and shortly will be FairTrade and Organic Fair Trade accredited.

Learning how to prune Calamansi is essential for growing this plant. Pruning Calamnsi will promote its growth as well as improve its productivity. Like most citrus plants, Calamnsi requires minimal pruning. However, pruning citrus trees in general and Calamansi, in particular, is different from pruning other trees. If you want to learn how to prune Calamnsi correctly, continue reading this article.
Pruning young Calamansi
Although Calamnsi trees require minimum pruning, it does not mean that you shouldn’t start pruning them when they are young. In fact, pruning young Calamnsi trees is recommended. It promotes proper growth. You should remove sprouts and weak limbs.
2. How to prune Calamansi trees when they mature
Besides removing mature trees’ sprouts, you should also remove all dead branches and weak limbs. Dead branches and weak limbs may cause a lot of problems. Thus, removing them is essential. Besides, removing them mean more nutrients and water to the rest of your tree.
You should also remove any crisscrossed limbs and any branches that show signs of diseases. Pruning is beneficial as it allows your Calamansi trees to get more light. Access to sunlight is vital for the growth of any citrus tree including Calamansi.
3. The best time to prune Calamansi
It is highly recommended to prune your Calamansi trees between February and April. After April, you should not do any pruning. From May onward, temperature degrees rise and pruning your trees will expose their branches to harsh sunlight which is harmful to them. Harsh sunlight will cause sunscald and bark rot which in turn may kill your trees’ branches. Removing sprouts is allowed though.
You should stop removing sprouts from November to January. Leaving them will protect your trees from frost and harmful cold weather. Therefore, it is better to keep them as they will shield your plant against cold weather.
4. Protect the bark
After pruning, you should make sure that your Clamansi trees don’t have any sun-exposed branches. Direct sunlight will burn your trees’ branches resulting in their death. Therefore, after pruning, especially on a sunny day, you should protect your trees with whitewash or latex paint.
5. Pruning techniques
Removing sprouts is extremely easy and does not require much effort. You can just pick them by hand while they are still young. Young sprouts are easier to remove than mature sprouts. For branches, you should remove them with a hand pruner or lopper. You may need to use a tree sow to remove big branches as they are strong and hard to remove.
This is how to prune Calamnsi properly. Follow these instructions and you will enhance the growth and the productivity of your trees.
If you wish to learn how to grow Calamansi from seeds, check out this article. For growing Calamansi from cuttings, follow these instructions. It is also possible to grow Calamansi in containers, take a look at this post for more information.

The Magic Garden
By Kemi Nekvapil. Coach. Speaker. Author
Like us, gardens need time to relax and stop producing.
My garden is well overdue for a break. It has given us 8 years of bountiful organic harvest. Every season I plant it out with seeds and seedlings and every season it delivers something.
It does not always deliver the same amount of tomatoes each year.
The apples may be bigger than the year before.
The carrots never work, nor does the basil. I have given up on the carrots; I choose not to put the work in. Carrots take work!
Basil: I will keep trying new techniques and methods because it is basil.
The strawberries may taste sweeter than two years ago.
And the garlic is the best it has ever been.
When we sow seeds in a garden we either get a harvest or we get a lesson.
I believe life is the same.
Sometimes we sow seeds into a relationship and we are disappointed with the harvest.
Sometimes we sow seeds into our careers and they bloom in a way we could never have imagined.
Even sitting in silence, having a cup of tea, playing with your children, these all sow seeds. Seeds of wellbeing, seeds of connection and trust.
I am not a that-will-do gardener. For me, gardening is an act of privilege; I get to play with Mother Nature while also having the ability to control it a little.
Two years ago I decided that I would only plant blue, purple and white flowers. That was fun but I am about to take on a new creative project, one that I would never have thought I would do, just because I can.
I will rest the garden for a year but I still want the magic of watching growth and beauty play together.
So last week, I ordered random seeds and seedlings from my favourite gardening gurus, Diggers Club: Cottage Garden Collection, Gambler’s Choice Bulbs, Summer Flowering Collection. There is every colour you can imagine.
Once I have planted these seedlings and sprinkled these seeds I will turn over all control. It is up to forces outside of me to do the rest. I can only plant the seeds and feed them. What happens then is called trust.
Life is the same isn’t it?
We can only plant and feed and then we have to trust. We have to turn over control.
My magic garden project is going to be interesting. It excites me. I am doing something I have never done before. I have no idea if it will work. I might thoroughly dislike my magic garden but there is only one way to find out.
And the times we are not sowing seeds are the times that we do not get anything.
No harvest and no lesson. No opportunity and no growth.
Some seeds are harder to plant than others. Which brings me back to the carrots; you get to choose if it is worth the work.
I urge you to keep sowing the seeds. To know that what is for you, will not pass you by.
Your harvest is coming. xx

I had an irrigation system that had been struck by lightning. Matt was very patient...as we found problems with the system. He diagnosed the damage from the lightning traveling along the irrigation lines. He also had to dig up all the valves and replace them. He had to replace the entire wiring system, and we had broken pipes from the lightning. He was quick, efficient and cheerful. I would highly recommend him because he has many years of experience as a irrigation contractor.

Wines are produced in a variety of ways, both conventionally and by more natural methods. For various classifications of natural production we often get asked what the S, O, B, and N labeling of wine bottles in the shop means. Here are the cliff notes on how these labels relate to and differ from each other:
(S) Sustainable - Growers take environmental concerns into consideration and use responsible farming methods. There is minimal use of chemical sprays, and some organic and biodynamic methods. They practice water and resource conservation whenever possible.
(O) Organic - No synthetic or chemical sprays or fertilizers are used in the vineyard. A balanced ecosystem and healthy soil is achieved by the use of organic materials, beneficial insects, animals, and cover crops.
(B) Biodynamic - Prioritizes the vineyard as a healthy ecosystem without the use of chemicals, makes use of herbal sprays and composts. The winemaking is non-intervention and ambient yeast fermentations are used. Bottling occurs with little or no use of sulfur. All work in the vineyard and the winery adheres to the movements of the Earth and the Moon.
(N) Natural Wine - Not strictly defined and a term for many wines that fall into previous categories. Not all wines designated as Sustainable and Organic would be considered Natural Wines. Biodynamic wines almost without exception are considered Natural Wines. Common traits would be no spraying of chemicals in the vineyard, hand harvesting, fermenting the wine on the ambient yeasts, little or no manipulation during the winemaking, and low or no sulfur at bottling.

23 May DROUGHT AFFECTS 20,000 FARMERS IN SRI LANKA
Drought conditions in Sri Lanka have hit more than 20,000 farmers and destroyed 16,000 acres of rice fields in the Indian Ocean island nation, officials said.
The government has allocated 3.7 billion rupees, or $28 million, to provide relief to those affected, but Disaster Management Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said additional allocations would be needed as drought conditions are engulfing more areas in the affected north-central and northwestern provinces, Colombo Page reported.
Current plans call for providing farmers in the five drought-affected districts chemical fertilizer and seeds free of cost for the next sowing season in addition to giving financial help to each farmer family.
Separately, Sri Lankan, President Mahinda Rajapaksa instructed authorities to take immediate steps to prevent deforestation of areas sustaining natural water bodies and build reservoirs for agriculture in the hill country, Colombo Page reported. He asked them to take stern action against those destroying resources through timber smuggling or involved in animal poaching.
Sri Lanka recently received a $ 64.9 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to finance the construction of three water supply systems.

Serving the finest matcha from the shade-grown farms of Kyoto, Japan
Stonemill Matcha is sourced from Kyoto, the birthplace of matcha
Over 800 years ago, a monk carried the seeds of the green tea plant from China to be cultivated and transformed in Japanese soil. Our matcha is sourced from farmers who continue the tradition on that same soil.
Our matcha is curated by a master blender from a traditional teahouse in Kyoto
Each year, tea leaves produce their own flavors distinct from the generation before them. Only a master’s hand can develop a perfect blend from an array of the finest leaves.
Matcha selected from the youngest, most tender leaves
Attention to every detail
From harvesting to packaging and brewing, we give attention to every detail so that the vibrant color, Umami-rich flavor and nutrition is preserved at its best.
Various health benefits
You will immediately experience the energized calm of green tea as your body absorbs the long-term benefits of antioxidants and vitamins. L-Theanine and catechin are unique to green tea and especially abundant in our Matcha because we are true to the authentic method of growing Tencha leaves. All these nutrients can be consumed at once in a soothing bowl of matcha.
Relaxed and focused
Although matcha has caffeine content equivalent to that of a coffee, L-theanine helps you to be relaxed and focused without the jittery feel. Because of these qualities, matcha was ritualistically used before meditation practices by Zen monks from ancient times.

Learn about an improved method for seed germination. I demonstrate the traditional paper towel method as well as my improved baggy method. Speed up the germination process for any kind of seed. I have used this method on hundreds of different kinds of seed including perennials, alpines, bulbs, trees and shrubs. Visit this post for more information: http://www.gardenfundamentals.com/best-method-for-starting-seed-indoors/#more-535 There are several different methods for starting seeds indoors that work well for vegetable seeds and flower seeds. In this post I will review the various seed starting methods and help guide you in selecting the right method for your situation. Starting Seeds Indoors There are three basic ways to start seed indoors; in pots or containers, the paper towel or baggy method and winter sowing. The last one is not really a form of starting seeds indoors, but it is a good alternative for home owners. Winter Sowing: https://youtu.be/SO_KKbGYTEM Starting Seeds In Pots and Containers Pros: Simple. You can use plant pots or even recycle old containers, as long as you punch some bottom holes into the latter. You can use garden soil but buying seedling mix is a better option. Once seed germinates it can grow right in the same pot until it is ready for the garden. Method works well for small and large quantities of seed. Works well for indoor plants and garden plants. Cons: You can’t see the seed germinate. If nothing grows, it is difficult to figure out why. Was there no germination – the seed might have been dead? Did the seed germinate but then die – maybe you have a fungus or pH problem? Cold stratification is difficult in pots unless you have a dedicated fridge for plants, or a cold fruit cellar. Seeds that take a long time to germinate need to stay in the pot a long time. This becomes a lot of work in summer when the pots dry out quickly and need to be watered every day. A light source is needed to grow the seedlings. Both artificial lights and windows provide a very low level of light compared to the sun. This results in etiolated seedlings (ie tall and skinny). Starting Seeds in Paper Towels or Baggies Pros: You can see the germination process. Not only is this exciting, but it can tell you a lot about your seed. If you never see the root in the baggy you know that the seed is either not viable, or the pre-treatment was not the right one. If it germinates ie produces a root, then it is viable. If subsequently, the seedling dies it is not a germination problem. A lot of seed can be germinated in a small space using this method. You can hold 100 baggies of different seed in one hand – try toing that with 100 pots. Granted, if you are successful with all 100 seeds, they do need to go into pots at some point. Seed that takes a long time to germinate requires little care since the seed stays moist in the baggy. Stratification procedures are easy to carry out since the bags take up so little room in a fridge. Maximum use of seed. Since you can see which seed germinates, you need fewer seeds. In the potted method most people plant excess seed and weed out the extra. With this method you can put each seed into its own pot. This can be a real benefit for rare or expensive seed of limited quantity. Cons: Requires an extra step. You have to put seed into baggies, and then you still need to pot them up. But you only pot up the ones that germinate. Extremely small seed can be difficult to handle. The video below shows you how to handle small seed using the baggy method. Baggies need to be examined more frequently for germinating seed than pots. No special lights are needed for germination, but once they are potted up they need the same light as any growing seedling. Vermiculite and Baggies This is a variation of the above baggy method. Instead of using a paper towel in the baggy, it is filled with vermiculite that has been barely moistened. Some people also use peat moss, or seed starting soil instead of the vermiculite. Robert Pavlis is also the owner, and author of two gardening blogs.

This garden was completely overgrown when we first saw it – the clients were having the house renovated with a dugout basement.
The family had 2 young boys and a new puppy, loved growing plants and wanted to grow their own vegetables and herbs.
It was a challenge to create a design that gave both boys space to play as well as room for a coldframe, some raised vegetable beds, a lawn and 2 seating areas.
New storage was created with a custom made shed built immediately adjacent to the house and therefore out of sight from inside. The garden walls were weather-boarded and painted and mirrors were incorporated to give depth to the garden.
We used a palette of pale pastel colours for the planting, with the herbs rosemary, sage, fennel and mint.
For the children we also planted an espaliered apple and a fig tree- so that the boys could watch the fruit develop, and in a year or so be able to eat the produce.

The role of irrigation. With Théo Benonnier (ENS Cachan), Katrin Millock (PSE, CNRS) and Vis Taraz (Smith College).
Climate change will affect both international and internal migration. Earlier work finds evidence of a climate-migration poverty trap: higher temperatures reduce agricultural yields, which in turn reduce emigration rates in low-income countries, due to liquidity constraints.
We test whether access to irrigation modulates the climate-migration poverty trap, since irrigation protects crops from heat. We regress measures of international and internal migration on decadal averages of temperature and rainfall, interacted with country-level data on irrigation and income. We find that irrigation access significantly weakens the climate-migration poverty trap, demonstrating the importance of considering alternative adaptation strategies when analyzing climate migration.

Have you noticed the local convenience store starting to sell CBD products?
The sudden emergence of these types of products is very confusing. After all, America has been knee-deep in a War on Drugs for decades. For years, hemp has been considered an illegal plant.
Yet, the tides are changing. More people are seeing the value of the plant, and even more are investing in hemp. Read on to learn all about the plant’s progress over the past few years.
The Legality of Hemp and Hemp Products
So, what exactly is hemp? Isn’t it the plant that produces the drug marijuana? Isn’t it illegal?
These questions are important to answer if you’re considering investing in hemp.
Here’s what you need to know — hemp and marijuana are similar, but they aren’t the same. They both come from the cannabis plant. Both contain THC (the cannabinoid that gets you high), but hemp has very low levels.
The hemp plant itself can’t get you high.
Despite that, the hemp plant became illegal when the Marijuana Tax Act passed in 1937. Due to the change, hemp-related products disappeared from the market. So, why are you starting to see a resurgence of these products as of late?
It’s all thanks to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. This important federal bill legalized the production and distribution of hemp.
If you’re thinking of investing in hemp, then you can feel assured that it’s legal and safe to do so.
The Many Uses of Hemp Plants
If the hemp plant doesn’t produce marijuana, then what exactly is it good for? You’ll want to know all about the uses of hemp plants if you’re considering investing. Here’s a list of some of the most common uses for hemp:
- Use as a fiber (stronger than cotton)
- Creation of paper products
- Plastic substitute
- Source of nutrition (protein)
- Lubricating oil
- Clean-burning ethanol fuel
One of the most intriguing of these uses is the plant’s potential as a medicinal source. Hemp’s CBD, which isn’t psychoactive, can get extracted and transformed into oil.
When consumed, it has incredible impacts on the body. Many upcoming CBD businesses have even gone so far as calling the plant a ‘miracle.’
Regardless of how you feel about marijuana, that kind of claim is worth investing in to. Learn more about how to get started below.

Want to Know the Basics of Garden Maintenance?
Every homeowner that has a garden that they leave unattended will know what will happen. Weeds will start to pop up, insects move in, and plants will start to encroach on each other’s space. Which is why garden maintenance is vital to ensuring a garden is kept looking good, in material whether you have a flower, herb, or vegetable garden.
There are various aspects when it comes to maintaining a garden, all of which will depend on the kind of garden you have. However, the most basic one will be watering. Very few, if any, gardens will survive solely on rainfall, which means a gardener needs to provide water. This is achieved in various ways, such as sprinkler systems, garden hoses, and even a watering can.
Also, the choice of equipment used depends on where the garden is located, and what plants it contains. When dealing with weeds, this also has several approaches which could be implemented. Such as manually pulling up the weeds as they begin to pop up, or alternately use mulch as this will prevent weeds growing, in addition to retaining moisture too. Mulch comes in a variety of materials like organic, plastic, rocks, and wood chips.
Speaking about mulch, this brings up the subject of soil treatment also. Buy a kit or send a sample off for testing, this will help to identify any factors such as high lead levels, or when extra nutrients are needed in order to grow specific plants. Should the latter be the case, fertilizer, and compost can be used to help with this.
So if you live in or around the Greenport, NY area and are looking for a professional tree care service, call Palencia Tree Service, Inc at (631) 230-0042 today.

Branching off last week’s Wellness Wednesday tip, one of the best ways to save money and eat healthy is to buy produce that is in season. In the month of September, the following fruits and vegetables are currently in season in Texas:
Persimmons, figs, pears, melons, watermelon, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and eggplant
Carrots, onions, baby arugula, sweet corn, green beans, and fresh peas
*Fun Fact: All produce containing seeds are considered fruits even though we may think of certain foods like cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes as vegetables because they have less carbohydrate content and are not as sweet as typical fruits.

Why are there so many hungry people?
Climate changes and induced shocks, civil insecurity and declining food production have all contributed to food scarcity and high food prices. There is also increased food demand and changing consumption habits, driven by demographic factors like population growth and urbanization.
Ways to Eliminate Hunger and Malnutrition
There will need to be investments in rural and urban areas and in social protection, so poor, vulnerable, children and infants have access to food and can improve their livelihoods.
Investment in the agriculture sector by involving more women and youth are also critical for reducing hunger and poverty, improving food security, creating employment and building resilience to disasters and shocks.

Animal Feed Additives
The last 2 decades, numerous laboratory and field trials have proven that Organic acids play a key role, not only in feed preservation and protection against microbial and fungal destruction, but also directly in the animal nutrition, as, under controlled conditions, a well-balanced acid combination increases the growth of monogastric animals, providing a cost effective solution against the use of anti-biotic growth promoters.
Our organic acid-based solutions are used to improve the feed safety of compound feed, feed ingredients and agro-industrial by-products by protecting against the growth of bacteria.
Eastman Pro GIT is a range of animal performance products based on organic acids. The organic acids reduce stomach pH, have a bactericidal effect in the Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) against gram¬negative (Salmonella, E. Coli) and gram-positive (Clostridium perfringens) pathogens and do not harm the growth of Lactid Acid Bacteria (LAB). This leads to a status of intestinal microbial Eubiosis, saving nutrients for the animal and leading to improved performance and health in both pigs and poultry. Solid Eastman Pro GIT products are a combination of organic acids and their calcium salts. Besides the organic acids' antimicrobial effect, they are a source of highly available organic calcium with a much lower Acid Binding Capacity (ABC) compared to limestone. Lowering the ABC of feeds allows a more efficient acidification of the digesta in the stomach.
Water is the most essential nutrient for livestock and water uptake by monogastric animals is 2 to 3 times the amount of feed they consume. Acidification of drinking water is useful for water sanitation and to prevent microbial contamination. It stimulates crop- and gastro-intestinal digestibility and helps reduce losses associated with conditions like enterocolitis and salmonellosis. Promoting a healthy intestinal microflora by acidifying the drinking water is important to suppress the pathogens that cause such types of digestive disorder. While today's animal production is becoming increasingly efficient in growth and feed conversion, animals are becoming more sensitive to stressors such as poor water quality. Eastman has developed the Protaq product range for clean water to ensure healthy animals, optimal performance and safe food.
Eastman Bacteria Control products effectively prevent, or significantly slowdown spoilage of all kinds of feed and raw materials while maintaining the original nutritional value. This helps to assure the safety and the nutritional quality of the feed. Protein based raw materials, of animal or vegetable origin, are frequently contaminated by Salmonella and other entero-bacteria. Our range of products is specifically developed to combat these and other microbial pathogens in raw materials and feed. Eastman Bacteria Control products contain high levels of (buffered) formic and propionic acid, which have a synergistic effect.
Calprona CA, is an effective growth inhibitor of bacteria, as well as a palatable source of calcium with high purity, solubility and bioavailability and it is compatible with all kinds of animal feed and premixes. Calprona CA is used as a preservative and is very effective in controlling microbes (bacteria and molds) in animal feed and premixes. Calprona CA is also a direct source of energy for the animals and improves the milkfat production in dairy cows.
Efficient acidification of milk for calves. MilkDigester is a complementary feed for acidification of milk and milk replacers for calves, which besides minimizing the growth of undesirable bacteria in the milk, also optimizes coagulation of milk in the intestine, thus supporting milk digestibility.

RootX Chemical Root Removal System
The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water. The foam acts as a carrying agent, lifting the herbicide to the top of the pipe where 90 percent of pipeline roots grow. Degreasing agents strip away grease and grime so the active ingredient can penetrate the roots, killing the root tissue on contact. RootX promotes bacterial growth to speed the decay and natural removal of roots. The foam also leaves a thin layer of the RootX herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent re-growth.
It’s important to apply RootX within the first hour after cutting or wait six to eight weeks. That’s because roots release a traumatic acid to cover the cut ends and protect them against further injury. If you apply RootX immediately after cutting, the herbicide can penetrate the root ends before the traumatic acid coating is complete. After six to eight weeks, the traumatic acid will have dissipated, leaving the most vulnerable part of the root—the white tender meristem growth where cells are actively dividing—exposed to the herbicide. The more root tissue you can treat with RootX, the better.

Sixteen per cent of Australia’s emissions are from land use change, forestry and agriculture. Most is produced from ruminants; the remainder from various sources including rice growing.
The issue of carbon in this sector needs to be addressed in tandem with broader issues such as land use efficiency and land use competition for different purposes and products.
Pressing questions include: What products/food stuffs should we prioritise for our land? How do we provide ecological restoration? Should we convert periforest agricultural land to ecological vegetation classes that bolster and buffer native forests? How much biomass be used as a sustainable energy source without competing against food production?
Importantly, the final vision is that human land use practices will be net sinks and stores of atmospheric carbon. The Land Use Plan will provide a comprehensive look at the way Australia can manage its productive capacity, ecological heritage and ecosystems services for the future.

Valencians are very proud of their Mediterranean diet which they believe is the best in the world. La Huerta, the area around Valencia, is famous for growing fresh fruit and vegetables. A drive in Valencia’s countryside will see you travelling past fields and fields of orange trees. Spanish cured ham, cheese, olives and olive oil are all a major part of the diet. Valencians are very proud of the fact that paella originated here. This is a rice dish which is cooked in a special shallow pan. The ingredients include chicken, rabbit, vegetables and saffron. The secret to a good paella is not to stir the rice while it is cooking.

What are your criteria for choosing honey?
You can also buy honey in your country.
However, cheap honey, such as those in supermarkets that are readily available, can be mixed with sugar and can break the natural honey nutrients due to overheating.
Where do you buy honey?
Honey in Hokkaido is made by honeybees that survive the harsh winter.
Bees die of cold when it snows. The beekeepers in Hokkaido are always trying to survive.
Unfortunately, some bees can't pass the winter and die.
Honey in Hokkaido is the fruit of the efforts of bee farmers and strong honey bees that survive in harsh environments.
Please don't be fooled by cheap honey.
Bee farmers do not use special processing to avoid destroying the nutrients of precious natural honey.
So honey crystallizes.
Cooks prefer honey that doesn't crystallize, but be careful.
If you heat honey, it can prevent crystallization, but instead, nutrients will break.
Honey without nutrients is just sugar.
You are consuming a lot of sugar.
How about the honey you always buy?

According to Grain SA, South Africa may need to import as much as five million tonnes of maize this year, roughly half of the country's requirements.
CEO of Agricultural Business Chamber (Agbiz), Dr John Purchase on Tuesday said that the crisis will severely impact food prices and consumer purchasing decisions.
Listen to the full conversation from The Redi Tlhabi Show:
The first crop estimate is not yet out and we have asked for it to be released at the end of January due to the exceptional situation we are in.— Dr John Purchase, CEO of Agbiz
2015 was the driest year on record in South Africa since 1904.— Dr John Purchase, CEO of Agbiz
We have to look at the preceding years. Over a four year period, it ranks the driest it has been since 1931 to 1935.— Dr John Purchase, CEO of Agbiz
This is a catastrophic drought which is going to cause a lot of harm to the agricultural sector and South African consumers.— Dr John Purchase, CEO of Agbiz

“Combining the power of AI with a vision for a circular economy represents a significant, and as yet largely untapped, opportunity to harness one of the great technological developments of our time to support efforts to fundamentally reshape the economy into one that is regenerative, resilient, and fit for the long term.”
— “Artificial Intelligence and the Circular Economy,” Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Google
Facing the twin challenges of environmental sustainability and climate change, world political and economic leaders are considering proposals aimed at promoting a food system that can help address these global problems. The EAT Forum-Lancet Commission on Food, Health, and the Planet published a major study on sustainable food systems at this month’s World Economic Forum in Davos with new guidelines for a plant-based “planetary health diet.” Focusing on the role technology can play in promoting sustainable food systems, Google partnered with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation to produce “Artificial Intelligence and the Circular Economy,” an extended discussion of how AI could help develop an economy “in which growth is gradually decoupled from the consumption of finite resources.” An expansion of traditional calls to reduce, reuse, and recycle, the report reframes food and agriculture as well as consumer electronics “value chains” as part of the solution to pollution and waste. This circular approach calls for “redesigning our economy to be one that creates rather than extracts value, keeping finite technical resources in flow within the economy and protecting and regenerating biological systems.”
In particular, the new report focuses on the role small farmers like Refresh Working Group (RWG) member Karen Washington of Rise & Root Farm play in the circular economy, explaining how sourcing food locally contributes to a more sustainable food supply chain. To that end, it cites two organizations with a connection to the Refresh Working Group: FARMWAVE (Craig Ganssle and Chris Chan) and PlantVillage (Amanda Ramcharan). By developing AI tools for farmers to interpret, share, and leverage data, they are helping to make the most forward-thinking, sustainable practices accessible to all.
A circular economy needs local farmers, and local farmers need affordable tools. Food Tank, led by RWG member Danielle Nierenberg, has been at the forefront of discussing the role AI can play in empowering farmers, highlighting everything from facilitating precision weeding to recognizing plant diseases. In her film From Farms to Incubators, RWG member Amy Wu profiles women working in agriculture to develop new technologies to support farmers. Wu profiles HeavyConnect, a Salinas, CA startup that created a user-friendly app to help small farmers comply with food safety requirements, helping ensure they can thrive by delivering safe products in the most efficient, sustainable way possible.
In the film, HeavyConnect design engineer Rivka Garcia discusses the importance of collaborating with the farmers (i.e. the end users) she’s designing the app for: “We don’t want to come in and show them this is what you need to do. We’re also learning with them.” Her insight tracks one of the most important points in “Artificial Intelligence and the Circular Economy,” the key role that human expertise must play in developing these new AI tools: “For AI to prove solutions, such as the examples mentioned above, it not only requires the four steps of data collection, data engineering, algorithm development, and algorithm refinement, it also requires a clear understanding of the actual problem and what we specifically need AI to solve. Put simply, if humans cannot establish the relevant inputs and outputs clearly, a machine cannot solve a problem.”
By bringing together a range of experts, the Refresh Working Group is ideally situated to discuss the inputs and outputs that would characterize a circular food economy. That effort dovetails well with their individual and collective efforts to promote a more healthy, efficient, and just US food system.

For residents of Columbus, Ohio, Hoover Reservoir is a source of both recreation and drinking water for over half a million people. The city has made watershed management a priority to protect the area surrounding the reservoir. For residents and businesses adjacent to the reservoir banks, vegetative buffers are needed to prevent sediment and chemical runoff, and we can easily check the length of those buffers in Lens.
Through a stewardship program, landowners are provided with guidance and opportunities to manage their land to align with water protection goals. More broadly, the Big Walnut Creek watershed, in which the Hoover Reservoir is located, has conservation programs working with farmers to transition cropland to perennial vegetation and encourage cover crops, which yields benefits to both farmers and reduces sediment and fertilizer runoff into the reservoir. These vegetation changes can also be monitored in Lens.

It’s not all about digging!
Part of the permaculture process is to design a garden that fits the space, the conditions, the needs of the growers and works in harmony with the environment.
The Hawick Community Growing Team, led by Rachel, have settled upon a mandala style layout, with paths and a sitting area. Today the ground was being marked with chalk spray so that the planting area and paths could be layed out.
And at the other end of the garden, the team work to clear and chip the brash that has accumultaed during the garden clearing. The wood chip is an excellent mulch and goes straight onto the garden. No dig…no waste! Perfect permaculture!

Way out in Shavano Valley beyond cell service at the end of a dirt road, farm workers race the fall frost to pick yellow onions from the rural Western Slope soil bound for supermarkets across the United States in time for holiday recipes and dinner tables.
Onion farmers across Colorado know that have only a few days, hours really, to get their crop topped, collected, bagged, and stored before overnight temperatures drop below freezing beginning Sunday night.
Onions can handle a little frost, but much more beyond that and the crop could be too damaged to harvest.
"It looks like Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night it's going to freeze, that's why we're on the hustle," said farmer John Harold. "As they say in the farming industry we're balls to the walls."
Harold whose company Tuxedo Corn grows the popular Olathe Sweet brand sweet corn, is one of many producers on the West Slope working to get yellow, white, and red onions out of the ground before Sunday's expected freeze.
According to the National Onion Association, farmers in the United States plant approximately 125,000 acres of onions each year and produce about 6.75 billion pounds of onions annually.
Earlier this month days of rain prevented workers from harvesting the onion fields. Some farmers hired helicopters to hover just above their fields with the intent to dry the ground so the workers could begin harvest.
"As a farmer you can't complain about moisture, but it sure did set us back and it's what put us in the bind that we're in now," Harold said.
Colorado is one of the largest producers of onions by volume in the United States. This is due to the state's ideal climate for growing and storing onions throughout the fall and winter months.
According to the National Onion Association, farmers in the United States plant approximately 125,000 acres of onions each year and produce about 6.75 billion pounds of onions annually. Colorado's higher altitude and colder winter months keep insect and plant diseases at a minimum, thereby reducing pesticide use and ensuring high-quality onions, according to Colorado State University.
Storage onions are generally harvested and shipped from September through March with other specialty varieties available seasonally.
Back in Montrose County, Harold is using multiple farm crews working alternating shifts day and night to get onions from the field into a sorting center, into 50-pound bags, and onto awaiting transport trucks.
This fall Harold is expecting to move seven to eight million pounds of onions to buyers ready to fill orders ahead of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
"You'll see in about 15 or so days the Thanksgiving push start where a lot of onions get sold, then there is a little slack and then the Christmas push-starts and then you lollygag through January until fresh onions come out of Mexico," Harold said.
Most of the onions produced by Harold and his company are bound for restaurant suppliers who buy and ship millions of pounds of onions around the country. This year, even as water shortage issues loom over the agriculture industry in Western Colorado, Harold said he's beginning to see more seed suppliers move back to the West Slope, which to him, is a good sign that demand and production remains strong for Western Slope grown food.

Get ready for turnout
When the days become longer and the grass turns greener, it signals one thing - the arrival of spring. British dairy and beef farmers around the country are busy behind the scenes, actively preparing to turn their cattle out to pasture. This shift necessitates meticulous planning to ensure the well-being of their herd. A primary consideration for farmers during turnout is the significant dietary change that spring grass represents for cattle. If not managed correctly this can impact the herds health and productivity throughout the year.
Gradually introducing livestock to their new diet is crucial. A common approach is to slowly introduce spring grass to livestock via strip grazing with electric fencing. This approach gives farmers control over grazing patterns and regulates the duration cows spend feeding on spring grass. By partitioning the field into designated sections, farmers can closely monitor daily intake and mitigate potential health issues whilst also optimising herd management. As well as this, farmers will also have to check on the condition of their electric fencing equipment. It is important to check the condition and quality of all aspects of electric fencing before the season to prepare properly for strip grazing during turnout. We have compiled a checklist for farmers getting ready for spring turnout:
1. Check your energiser(s):
Firstly, you should check that your Hotline energiser is working correctly. This is important as the safety of your livestock relies on your energiser to be operating efficiently. If you spot a fault with your energiser we offer a repair service where our expert technicians can get your energiser back up and running. This service now also comes with a 1 year warranty applied to repaired energisers to give you peace of mind for the season ahead. If you would like to book in an energiser repair then please call us on 01626 331188 or alternatively email our sales team at email@example.com.
2. Check your batteries:
Ahead of spring turnout it is also important to check your energiser batteries are also charged/full and ready for operation. If you are using a 12v leisure battery to power your energiser you can charge these using a battery charger. If you are using a 6v/9v internal battery you may need to replace them as they cannot be recharged. You can find replacement batteries at Hotline approved stockists either online or at your local store.
3. Check your fencing:
Time to check your fencing! Is your fencing secure and undamaged? This is one of the first checks you need to make in order to ensure the safety and security of your livestock. Closely check to make sure any of your posts need replacing and that your wire is secured and in good condition. In addition ensure that vegetation around the fence line is cut back and that your earthing is correct via correct use of earth stakes. After all steps are complete you can power up your fence and use a fence tester to check it is functioning correctly. If you are looking to save time during turnout, we now offer a 3:1 premium geared reel with 500m of polywire already wound on for your convenience: see here.

PRE98 BUBBA KUSH
Pre98 Bubba Kush is the famed Pre98 cut. The plant produces a bouquet of colorful, exquisitely beautiful flowers. When grown in colder temperatures the strain exhibits deep purple hues. This cut can be picked at 8 weeks, but it’s not recommended. A grower is far from getting superior quality flowers at 8 weeks. They may look good, but rest assured they are not! Pre98Bubba Kush needs 10 weeks to reach full maturity, potency and medicinal effectiveness.

The rapid growth of human civilisation is colliding with approaching limits to the supply of key natural resources. Due to climate change, the planet's life-support systems are running down, posing a threat to humanity's ability to produce even the amount of food produced today because agriculture is very sensitive to weather and climate. It also relies heavily on land, water, and other natural resources that are affected by climate change. Climate change has already affected the quantity of food produced globally, even though it is small compared to the significant increase in global food production. A study of global vegetable and legume production concluded that if Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emissions continue on their current trajectory, food production could decline by 35 per cent by 2100 due to water scarcity, increased salinity, and topsoil depletion.
Wheat is the most important staple crop in temperate zones and is in increasing demand in countries undergoing urbanisation and industrialisation. It is one of the crops most susceptible to the effects of climate change. Studies reveal that…read more on NOPR

I love sunflowers because they are beautiful, colorful and cheerful. They also smell so good! I love their vibrant colors, and the way they grow so happily in the sun. They even make me feel like I’m part of the earth. They are energy-rich, so that’s another reason why it would be a good idea to put them around your house. I’ve compiled a list of my favorite types of sunflower varieties below- check out the gorgeous pictures!
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a highly productive agricultural crop widely used for food, fodder, and decorative purposes. These bright, incredibly sunny flowers create a unique flavor of country style in the garden, which makes it especially attractive and interesting while creating a positive mood and vitality.
To date, there are more than 300 varieties and hybrids of sunflower on sale with various colors of elegant baskets, from yellow to bright red and even brown, and some varieties have a three-color, very colorful and unusual color. Among them, there are low-growing plants that are good in group plantings, great for decorating flower beds, borders, for growing in pot culture, and this group of sunflowers is well worth cutting.
High varieties are good against the background of a wicker fence, fence. From sunflowers, you can create a wonderful hedge or curtain up to 3.5-5 meters high.
Considering sunflower as a crop, one cannot ignore its productivity for grain, and especially its nutritional value. After all, everyone knows the taste of sunflower seeds since childhood, and the ancient Incas knew about its beneficial properties.
How to care for the sunflower
Even for an unpretentious culture, care is important. As for sunflowers, they need to be watered, fertilized, tied up, and treated against pests.
Since the sunflower is a very moisture-loving plant, watering is needed abundantly and regularly. As a rule, one watering per day should be enough, but in severe drought, their number increases up to 2-3 times a day.
The garter helps the tall sunflower not to break or bend from the wind and from the weight of the seeds. Since the plant is usually tall, without a garter it can fall and be damaged. If the culture is planted in a windless place, next to a fence that has a protective and supportive effect, then you can do without it.
Sunflower loves potassium and does not tolerate nitrogen fertilizers well. When there is a lot of nitrogen in the soil, the plant is more susceptible to various diseases and it may turn out that the seeds of sunflower grown on such soil will be empty. When fertilized with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers, bees pollinate sunflowers well, and the seeds grow full, large, and tasty. Fertilizer should be applied during planting, after watering, or the first weeding.
19+ Beautiful Sunflower Varieties
1. Annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus) – the most widespread species in culture.
The Annual sunflower is the most famous species of the genus Sunflower from the Astrovye family. North America is recognized as the place of origin of the plant, from where it spread throughout the world. At first, it was grown only for decorative purposes. Only from the 19th century, the sunflower began to be used to obtain vegetable oil.
In full accordance with the species name, the life span of this representative of this common sunflower is limited to one season. The annual sunflower has a tap root system that penetrates into the deep layers of the soil. A dense, coarsely pubescent, erect stem rises majestically above the ground. The standard height ranges from 1.5–2.5 meters. However, often woody stems at the end of life reach 4–5 meters.
Large dark green leaves are oval-heart-shaped with beautiful yellow petals. They are located alternately, the lower ones are attached to the shoot with petioles, the upper ones are sessile. Leaf-blades with a sharp tip and serrated edges are covered with hard hairs. Longitudinal veins are visible. The plant has a complex inflorescence – a basket. The marginal flowers are bright yellow, sterile. Numerous tubular flowers are bisexual. After cross-pollination, fruits are set, which are oblong achenes. What gorgeous flower heads. You’ll often see them winning prizes at county fairs.
2. Holly sunflower (Helianthus argophyllus)
This is a wild variety of sunflower native to North America and belongs to the secondary gene pool of cultivated sunflower. This means that the H. argophyllus species is more different from the cultivated species, and despite some reproductive barriers between it and its cultivated relative, the holly sunflower can be crossed with the cultivated sunflower to obtain fertile offspring.
Several properties of interest have been found in Helianthus argophyllus, including downy mildew tolerance and drought tolerance. One of the more beautiful traditional sunflowers.
3. Red-stemmed sunflower (Helianthus atrorubens)
The inflorescence is numerous, 8 cm in diameter, golden-yellow with a purple-red center, well suited for cutting. Flowering in late August-September. The leaves are oval, dark green, rough. Peduncles 120-150 cm high, powerful, straight, reddish. The soil is loose, fertile, well-drained. The planting site must be sunny- especially since the birds will love hanging out by them!
4. Maximilian sunflower (Helianthus maximiliani) is a North American sunflower species.
Maximilian sunflower is a North American type of sunflower, a branching perennial herb that forms a thick rhizome and reaches a height of up to 3 m. The native land of Maximilian sunflower is the Great Plains in central North America.
Both the wild species and the resulting hybrids are highly decorative. During flowering, its sturdy stems are covered from top to bottom with numerous golden-yellow, wide-open flowers with a diameter of 7 cm, exuding the sweet aroma of chocolate. By winter, the tall, thin stems of the plant die off, but in the spring the plant perfectly restores its aboveground part. The plant propagates by seeds and vegetatively from the rhizome. What a sturdy stalk!
5. Tuberous sunflower (Helianthus Tuberosus)
The herbaceous perennial came to Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia from the New World. Native Americans cultivated this plant thousands of years ago.
Like all members of the genus, the flower has a powerful root system with multiple underground shoots. They form tubers of various shapes (round, fusiform, pear-shaped) and colors (white, yellow, brown, purple).
The erect stem of the Tuberous Sunflower branches in the upper part grows up to 3 meters in height. The leaves are attached to the shoot with petioles. The leaf blades are large, heart-shaped, with a pointed tip and jagged edges. The foliage is painted dark green.
At the end of summer, it is time for flowering. At the tops of the stems, basket inflorescences bloom. The marginal flowers are golden, the middle ones are yellow. After cross-pollination, the fruits are tied – achenes.
Hybrid varieties are the result of the work of breeders. Their main drawback is that they are all annuals. At the same time, their yields are about 15% higher, most hybrids are suitable for any application- with their great beauty. It’s the perfect sunflower and great for flower lovers who like a splash of color. Make sure to pay attention to the soil type!

Choosing The Right Sunflower Variety For You
6. Hybrid sunflower type “Jason”
The flower was bred in Serbia. The plant is typically tall for this species, growing in height up to 160-185 cm.
The growing season takes noticeably 107-110 days, which makes it possible to classify this variety is early maturing. The basket of “Jason” is medium-sized, up to 18-24 cm in diameter, slightly flattened.
The seeds are gray-striped, the oils in them are about 49.7-50.4%. The flowering and ripening periods in plants of the hybrid variety “Jason” are uniform. The direction is established as an oilseed. The maximum yield per hectare is approximately 4-4.2 tons of sunflowers.
Plants of this variety grow quietly in conditions of too dense planting, do not crumble, are well resistant to lodging, but can be severely affected by severe drought and heat. As for diseases, no type of dew will harm the sunflower, but various types of rot can slightly spoil the crop. What beautiful flowers!
7. Sunflower variety “Lux”
This type of sunflower is the result of a careful selection of plants of the variety “Donskoy Krupnoplodny”. Thanks to such a good “parent”, “Lux” sunflowers are not susceptible to various diseases that affect the so-called confectionery sunflowers.
This variety is highly productive, but its ripeness group is medium. The growing season is delayed, on average, for 100-105 days, which makes it possible to classify “Lux” as an early variety. The yield is very high, on average 3.2-3.4 tons of sunflowers can be obtained per hectare of field.
Sunflowers of the “Lux” variety are not affected at all by different types of rot, verticilosis, and phomopsis, but may suffer a little from downy mildew. Also, this sunflower is an excellent honey plant. It is characterized by a fairly high drought tolerance, grows well in all soils and climates. For “Lux” thickening is detrimental.
8. “Nut” Sunflower
It was bred as a result of the selection of confectionery varieties “Lakomka” and “SPK”. Refers to early maturing. Suitable for growing in any conditions that are technically suitable for the cultivation of this crop.
Sunflowers of the “Nut” variety are not tall, on average 160-170 cm, and grow in 103-104 days. The seeds are black, covered with longitudinal stripes of dark gray. The achene is oval-oblong in shape, large in size – 1000 seeds weigh 145-150 grams if the norms of growing density were observed.
Plants bloom and ripen together, seeds are tied even in the worst climatic conditions. The yield is very high, 3.2-3.5 tons of harvest per hectare. They have genetically innate immunity to broomrape and sunflower moths, almost not susceptible to damage to downy mildew and phomopsis.
9. Sunflower variety “Lakomka”
— zsuzsa (@CsuryZsuzsa) August 4, 2019
The “parents” of this variety are the biotypes of the “SPK” variety, which underwent a careful single selection. “Lakomka” is a large-fruited mid-season variety that ripens quickly enough – in 105-110 days. Flowering and ripening are aligned. The bushes are very high, up to 1.9 m, the basket is lowered, convex in the area of attachment of seeds, of medium diameter.
Does not wither in the heat, does not crumble, and does not lie down. It is immune to moths, broomrape, powdery mildew.
10. Variety “Forward” Hybrid
As a result of selection, it acquired resistance to sclerotinia, sunflower broomrape races, and phomopsis. Almost does not suffer from various types of rot and downy mildew. Refers to medium early varieties. Vegetation takes 104-108 days. At the initial stages, it develops very quickly, does not suffer from a lack of moisture and high temperatures, the stems do not lodge, and the plants themselves ripen very amicably, and the height of the stems throughout the field is almost the same, which makes it easy to harvest.
Plants reach a height of 182-187 cm, or 6 feet tall at maximum height. The diameter of the basket is 15-20 cm, it is slightly convex in shape, lowered down. The direction of this sunflower hybrid is oilseed since the percentage of vegetable fat in the kernels reaches 49.3-49.7%. What beautiful blooms and great for floral arrangements.

The plants themselves are low, 135-145 cm in height, do not branch, with a powerful root system that penetrates to a depth of 1.5-2 m. Baskets are of medium size, thin, due to which they very actively lose water, flat in shape, even in the area where the seeds are attached. Seeds are medium, the wide ovoid, dark, weight of 1000 pieces is equal to 60-70 grams.
The shell layer of the seeds is well developed, the husk content is 22-24%. Oils in seeds are not less than 47-49%, which determines the direction of sunflowers of this variety – oil. The oil yield is 1128 kg per hectare.
The yield is 23.5 centners per hectare, but with good care and proper planting, the figure can reach 45 centners. As for diseases, neither downy mildew, nor rust, nor sunflower moth will harm the plants of this variety. Also, these sunflowers have rather high indicators of resistance to drought and heat.

It's been a while since the last post, I admit.
Since then I have completed the chicken coop the way I wanted it for the summer. I'm not sure yet as to whether this will last throughout the winter so instead of walls I've surrounded the 4 sides of the coop in heavy duty chicken wire, leaving one side unattached aside from a hook that keeps it closed so that I would have access to the inside.
Unfortunately I learned about 2 weeks ago the lesson that a door only works when it is closed. With a heavy heart, I'm sad to announce that one night the door was left unhooked and with the tenacity of a hungry stray cat, the door flew open and released all the chicks. From the there it was a game of cat and mouse or rather cat and chick. Another of the Golden Comets was taken in the night as the others ran for cover under the large squash leaves growing in the garden. By the time I had awoken the next morning to feed them, my mother had already coerced the still shaken chicks out from under the crops and placed them back in their coop, doors hooked and all.
I've also used the remaining chicken wire to fence off a section of the back yard, under a big cherry tree, for the girls to roam free in and peck at the bugs. The bird seed that they end up kicking out of the coop as they scratch and peck at their mixed feed ends up in the run and after a few rain storms grew into a nice thick patch of grass that the girls just go crazy for. It's probably their most favorite food. That and any type of weeds I can find growing in the cracks on the ground.
Pictures will come in the next post.

Los Angeles apartment dwellers could probably make use of a community composting initiative.
If you have a lawn or garden, you can easily transform food scraps into healthy, eco-friendly, compost. All you need to compost is basically a bin with holes at the bottom. But apartment-dwellers who don’t want to send fruit peels and veggie pieces to the landfill have a harder go of it. You need more involved equipment — and have to get more involved yourself.
This is why I haven’t started composting yet.
In fact, none of my local green, apartment-dwelling friends compost. And it’s not cuz we’re lazy!
It’s just tough to compost indoors. Jenn of Tiny Choices wrote a great post about the 4 ways to compost indoors. Guess what: Jenn doesn’t compost herself.
Are you a successful apartment composter? Share your story [email@example.com] to encourage us all, and I’ll include them in a future post. In the meantime, I’m going to figure out how I can push Santa Monica, the city I live in, to give us green bins we can put our food scraps in for city composting. Homeowners get these green bins, but not apartment dwellers.
Composting indoors is a challenge but if you have no outside compost bin, then a combination of using bokashi and a worm bin* may do the job.

Urban farming is also taking off in a big way in some developing countries, including Uganda. Although expanding agricultural production and distribution in rural communities is an important way to help families break the cycle of generational poverty, people living in cities also need support. urban appraisal, the enterprises of major importance to urban and peri-urban farmers were established and ranked. The Ansoff product-market growth matrix (Kotler, ) was used as a tool for planning the survey in terms of growth alternatives, based on the perceived opportunities and constraints of urban and peri-urban farmers in Kampala.
Even in Kampala, the capital city with an estimated population of million, where urban and suburban land pressures are highest, agriculture, including livestock husbandry, remains a component of the livelihood strategies many urban households pursue (Hooton et al., ). Urban-rural divides in Uganda, at least spatially, are not sharply. But in a very classic monocentric model, Kampala extends and agricultural land prices are going up. “Farmers now compete for available land with urban-type developments” (p), such as housing, recreational facilities, and brick making activities. The latter has actually become a structuring income generative activity for Kampala.
To limit their risk, farmers now have a chance to buy insurance cover for crops and livestock after insurance companies, led by Lions Assurance, introduced the first ever agrinsurance product. The capital Kampala is the lively, creative and ever-evolving heart of the new Uganda. It is a brash and fast-moving city of contrasts. The open-air markets of the city’s urban farmers sit next to modern high-rises. It’s the city of soca rhythms and Phiona Mutesi, Uganda’s year-old slum-born chess master. Kampala is changing.

I am here to solve your problem with a new way of growing vegetables. This is called sack gardening, growing crops vertically. Small land is no longer an issue with me.The fast growth in urban population coupled with rural-urban migration has resulted into continued growth of slum and squatter settlements, accompanied by food insecurity in Kampala city.
As lack of food increases and life for the urban dwellers becomes more complex, urban agriculture is viewed as one of the alternative survival strategies.Kampala derives its name from Uganda’s largest city and is spread haphazardly over seven hills.
As the sun sets on Kampala, the majestic 7 mountains are bound to catch your eye. The farm offers 6 houses along with guest rooms, which can accommodate up to 60 individuals. Come and explore all that nature has to offer at Kampala!”.

Computers and computer hardware are designed to make work go faster. Ever faster and smaller chips and processors are what are always being developed in countless research facilities and labs. But what can computers do when you are in a business that can’t be hurried or rushed at all?
When you are in the business of growing grapes, running a vineyard and making wine you still rely on computers for a great deal of information. Thanks to advances in technology, computers are helping to increase yields and improve harvests despite the challenges an especially wet or dry growing season may present.
Vineyards can have a variety of different microclimates running through them. And the moisture requirements to achieve the maximum potential for the growing grapes can be radically different. That is where some enterprising vineyard owners have begun installing wireless moisture sensor stations around the various areas of their vineyards. Some areas may be composed of a softer clay-like soilthat can hold moisture, where another area could be made up of a sandier soil which could dry out faster. These stations can measure the moisture level of a particular area, process the data and then transmit the information to a desktop computer.
With such information a manager could tell how to make the best and most efficient use of irrigation for the different needs of each area. The systems have proven to provide energy, water and considerable money savings. With constantly updated knowledge of moisture levels, no more water than is absolutely necessary has to be trucked in.
Harvests from years when the systems were operational have turned out to be the largest yields with the most mature grapes that had been grown to date.
While grapes and wine will always take their own sweet time to reach maturity it is advances in computer hardware that can help them along the way.

Host Daniel Geneen learns about growing, harvesting, and eating crawfish from Louisiana farmer Mike Frugé
About 40 years ago, rice farmers like Mike Frugé of Frugé Aquafarms and Cajun Crawfish figured out that the two year growing cycle of crawfish synced perfectly with the two year cycle of the rice crop. Now, rice fields are seeded with baby crawfish every other year, creating a new source of food and income for farmers. Host Daniel Geneen visited the farm in Louisiana to see how over a million crawfish are harvested each year.
“If you just came out into this field when we first planted it and just dumped crawfish out here with no cover, the birds would get them all in a matter of hours, or the heat would get them,” explains Frugé, as he and Geneen wade into the flooded rice fields, where tall grass covers the crawfish swimming in … Read more

If your rabbit is acting abnormally and you have concerns please take them to a vet immediately.
Rabbits are among the so-called “folivores” and are therefore leaf eaters. Their main food is the green parts of plants, such as buds and leaf tips. But Lagomorpha are also allowed to eat vegetables and fruit now and then. Find out in our article whether you should also feed your rabbit tomatoes!
Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family and contain the poisonous substance solanine. However, this substance is mainly contained in the unripe fruits and the green parts of the plant. Ripe fruits usually do not pose a threat to rabbits, which is why they can be fed.
To determine if the tomatoes are already ripe, look out for the following characteristics:
The response to this query is yes. Tomatoes can be eaten by rabbits, but they should not be their primary source of nourishment. But because they enjoy this fruit so much, it is a great way to add variety to your pet’s meal as a treat.
It’s vital to understand that we can only supply the tomato, not other plant components like leaves, blossoms, or stems. This is primarily owing to the presence of solanine in the greens, which is toxic to rabbits. This is usually not a problem if the rabbit simply consumes a few tomato leaves.
Tomatoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from the traditional round and bright red to lengthy tomatoes and the renowned cherry tomatoes, which are a popular element in gourmet dishes. Because of their size, the latter is suitable for animals such as rabbits, hence the question of whether rabbits can eat cherry tomatoes is frequently asked.
The answer is once again affirmative. The tomato, regardless of its size, is unaffected by the rabbit as long as it is ripe, neat, raw, and without leaves.
Tomatoes are helpful to rabbits not only because they can consume them without becoming poisoned, but also because they provide a variety of benefits. It’s high in vitamin A, C, and antioxidants. Furthermore, tomatoes contain many carotenoids and B vitamins.
Choline is present in tomato pulp, a substance that lowers cholesterol and improves immunity. It is easy to grow, simple, and inexpensive treats.
However, only mature red tomatoes provide all of these advantages. Is it possible for rabbits to eat green tomatoes? In this instance, it’s best not to provide green tomatoes or stalks to the rabbits because they’re toxic and can cause symptoms of allergy or poisoning.
Rabbits should feed food that is high in fiber but low in sugar and fat. Tomatoes have a lot of fiber, but they also have a lot of sugar and acid. Accordingly, only feed the red fruits as a treat in between meals. In general, it can be said that rodents can consume a maximum of one or two tomato slices per day.
Under no circumstances should they be fed tomatoes too often, otherwise they can get digestive problems.
Now that you’re aware that rabbits cannot eat green tomatoes but only red ones, let’s look at how to incorporate them into their diet. The procedure is quite straightforward; simply choose a tomato that is quite red and thoroughly wash it.
If you do choose to feed your bunny tomatoes, keep the amount to a minimum. Tomatoes should be considered a small treat rather than a true source of energy.
Ensure the tomatoes are sliced into rabbit-sized portions. Even though rabbits are adept chewers, you don’t want to put in danger of choke.
Is it safe for rabbits to eat tomato peel? Certainly, it may consume the tomato skin without danger. It is not necessary to peel or remove the peel, you just have to remember that it is an occasional ingredient in the diet. It is suggested that you offer some items no more than a couple of times a week.
Tomatoes can be fed to rabbits, but it’s crucial to keep an eye on how they react to such a treat. Rabbits’ digestive systems can be affected if they eat it in some situations. An adult rabbit should only be given 300 g a day, and only in the morning.
Seeds, particularly tomato seeds, should never be eaten by rabbits. They’re also harmful to your health. Before you feed your rabbit, you should take the seeds out.
Giving a tomato to baby bunnies is not a good idea. It’s best to start including it in the rabbit’s diet when he or she is three months old. Even after reaching this age, a rabbit should be given tomatoes in modest amounts while being monitored for reactions.
Tomatoes are commonly provided to rabbits as part of a diversified diet. The most significant component of a rabbit’s diet is hay. Tomatoes should never account for more than a modest amount of your rabbit’s diet, even though fruits and vegetables can aid.
It’s not just the high acid and sugar content of tomatoes that can be troublesome for rabbits. Because the high water content can also lead to health problems in rodents. If rabbits eat too many tomatoes, it can affect the firmness of the feces. Because very often the animals suffer from the so-called “mud droppings”, extremely soft droppings.
Interestingly, this does not always happen with eating a lot of tomatoes. Because mud excrement is linked to a shift in feed, as well as low feed quality and parasites. If the rodent eats tomatoes and produces muddy excrement or diarrhea, you should stop feeding them. It’s also a good idea to follow the steps below:

One of Kualesa’s missions is to contribute to a more sustainable future for the planet. This is why we use bamboo fabric to make all our eco-friendly products!
Bamboo is an eco-friendly alternative textile to synthetics (FYI - polyester contributes up to ~60% of the world’s textile volumes while taking 200 years to decompose!)
Here are a few reasons why we believe in bamboo:
- Bamboo cultivation requires a lot less water when compared to the cotton industry. It requires ~2700 litres of water to produce one cotton t-shirt, whereas our bamboo t-shirt only needs ⅓ of this amount.
- The great bamboo regeneration: Bamboo shoots develop rapidly and can grow up to 20cm a day. It is also self-generating from their roots, therefore do not need to be replanted, cutting down on large amounts of labour that cotton cultivation would have required.
- Bamboo absorbs 5X more CO2 and releases 35% more oxygen than it’s hardwood tree cousins. It also has deep root systems that can prevent steep banks from eroding.
- Bamboo shoots can grow on infertile soil which provides farmers with tremendous benefit. There is a long history of using bamboo to repair previously barren land areas for other crops.
Bamboo Lyocell fabric is created by adopting a closed-loop process using a non-toxic solvent, amine oxide, which dissolves bamboo. With this process, 99% of the water used are reclaimed and reused in the next stage of the production process, greatly reducing water consumption.
The resulting bamboo fabric makes for an excellent textile and you should choose it over other conventional fabrics for the following two reasons:
- Bamboo apparel provides comfort due to its hollow fibre, allowing for better ventilation and more breathable clothing. It is also insulating - keeping you cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
- Bamboo fabric is also antibacterial and hypoallergenic - so individuals with sensitive skin can also enjoy our bamboo apparel!
At Kualesa, we prioritise strength and comfort with an eco-conscious spirit.

India been A agriculture based economy since times unknown . The core sector that won title of Golden Bird for India , since time unknown .
Currently it provides employment to 58% of country’s population in direct or indirect way and a whooping 18% of GDP is been shared by agriculture directly and approx. 11% of GDP is based of agriculture based industries . Making it largest stakeholder in Indian Economy with approx. 29% of GDP stake in its portfolio
Agriculture been a major source of income in rural area. With a huge population of 130 CR or 1.3 Billion people , agriculture becomes more important than anything else to feed huge population. Alike other sector agriculture sector is showing a growth of 2.1% annually and a gross turnover of about 245 Billion $ .
Regardless of all these facts Indian Agriculture needs a major makeover , much bigger that what has been witness in late 80’s , commonly called as Green revolution. India’s ever-growing population , limited land resources, decrease in Soil fertility , Erosion due to natural and man made activities etc. , to over come this , we need to introduce some major changes in our practice that can not only enhance productivity, but gives us a cutting edge capabilities to manage use of resources like water irrigation, use of pesticides , use of fertilizers , increase farmer income or ROI on agriculture activities
Recently Indian Gov. in its Union budget announces special benefits for uses of drone in agriculture and name it as Kisan drones .
The prime target of Indian government is make agriculture drone available to farmer with features that can help farmer generate better ROI from Agri and related activities.
Drones represent the major technological shift in 21st century. Earlier drones are used only a flying camera with some sort of remote control technology that can capture beautiful pictures from a different angle or either drones are used on tactical and military purpose that can do some kind of surveillance or even attack in some cases
But now the drones are evolved to solve modern day problem in a modern way Drones are now capable to firefight in high rise building , Law enforcement , agriculture activities, surveillance, works as a flying Internet router , fishing , and many more
Definitely drones are going to change the world. but there are two fields that are expected to make a major change by introduction of drones these are Military (tactical use) and agriculture drones
Let talk about agriculture drones now
Agriculture is expected to be biggest beneficiary in world by drone technology
Drone assisted farming will be a reality in future . Let check benefits of using Drones in agriculture
Undoubtedly Drone are going to introduce revolution in Indian agriculture and will benefit largest sector of Indian economy and positively effect 50 % of India’s population , but still we are miles to go before we sleep. Public and Private sector in India need to make sure we overcome the hurdles that are waiting for us , we need to train the farmer to use it , Make it multilingual to over come language barrier , relaxing drone license process , subsidy on buying a agriculture drone and its spare parts

- Get a piece of string.
- Tie chicken leg to string. (It’s not necessary for the chicken to be alive).
- Find a bayou, ditch or pond.
- Stand on the bank of the bayou, ditch or pond.
- Cast the chicken leg tied to the string into the bayou, ditch or pond.
- Wait a few minutes, then slowly pull the chicken bone to land.
- Remove the crawfish from the chicken leg.
- Put crawfish in bucket.
- Repeat the prior nine steps until bucket if full.
Of course, that’s the time-honored way to catch fresh Louisiana crawfish. Just about every kid in the Bayou State has caught crawfish that way, but if one wants to trap hundreds of pounds of crawfish, efficiency ought to be incorporated into the plan.
Here’s an article published in Louisiana Farm and Ranch detailing a study in crawfish trap construction that may help you in your quest for crawfish.
Over the last several years, crawfish farmers have been switching to a slightly different crawfish trap – one constructed of ¾-inch square mesh wire in lieu of those made from ¾-inch hexagonal (6-sided) mesh.
The square mesh configuration provides for a much sturdier trap than the hex configuration, thus increasing the useful life of the trap. It was also noticed that crawfish catch was increased by the square mesh trap, partly because the square configuration of the mesh retains a slightly smaller crawfish than the hex pattern. Traps constructed of square mesh wire may also be more efficient because of the increased structural integrity, which allows trap bottoms and funnel openings to retain their original shape better.
One study at the Rice Research Station in 2003 documented a 39% average increase in catch, from 525 to 728 pounds per acre, with ¾-inch square mesh traps compared to the old industry standard ¾-inch hexagonal mesh traps. With increased catch efficiency, the question arises, “Can square mesh traps be successfully used at a lower density than previously recommended for the less efficient hex mesh traps?” Based on research in well-managed ponds producing more than 1,000 pounds per acre, 20 to 24 hex mesh traps per acre were found to be the most efficient and economical trap density in a harvesting schedule that entails emptying traps 3 or 4 days per week.
A preliminary study was conducted in 2004 at the Rice Research Station comparing square mesh trap densities of 18 and 24 per acre. With an average annual yield of 623 pounds per acre, the higher trap density resulted in only 48.5 pounds per acre, or 8%, higher yield. Assuming an average bait cost (½ fish and ½ manufactured bait) of $24 per hundred pounds, and 1/3 pound of bait per trap over 63 days of trapping, bait cost alone for the additional 6 traps per acre would result in an increased cost of $29 per acre, or 60 cents per pound for the additional yield. Although the lower trap density in this one study did not lower yields significantly, additional studies are needed under an array of growing conditions to confirm lower trap density recommendations and to determine the most cost-efficient trap densities under different conditions.

Appendix S1. Plants surveyed for pollen germination site. When collected at botanical gardens, stigmas were cross pollinated, if possible, using a paintbrush, and the entire carpel was collected into 50% Karnovsky’s fixative; pollen was also dusted onto solidified pollen growth medium. From other field sites, entire plants were transferred to the laboratory (in a cooler with an ice pack), before pollen was dusted in situ or in vitro; plants were then pressed for voucher specimens.

We have this beautiful pot of Mint or Pudina in Indian languages in one of our balconies. This one receives decent sunlight. Here is how my bro Sumeet planted it. He had got a big bunch of mint from the APMC market. Now note that the veggies and herbs that are sold in the APMC market travel atleast 100 kms before they reach the consumer, inspite of that we got lucky and it grew beautifully.
Here is the 1, 2 3...
- Take a pot, we used a 4 litre one.
- Ensure there is a small hole in the bottom of the pot for draining excess water.
- Fill with planting soil upto 1 inch below the brim.
- Create holes in the soil at the top.
- Take cuttings of Pudina/ Mint, we used about just 4 or 5 cuttings which will stand on its own when stuck into the soil. Keep 3-4 leaves at the top for it to survive while it grows new roots on planting.
- Sprinkle water to moisten the soil. Do this every day.
- Ensure enough sunlight, but not direct. You can keep it under a larger plant for some shade.
- End of the month you will find more sprigs have come up and your pot is lush green.
Mint propagates with the help of rhizomes, it is a sterile plant so bears no seeds though you will see flowers. So to grow more Mint best is to provide it more space to grow.
Pluck sprigs when you require for garnishing. When you have a lot of mint snip off just the big leaves with a small scissor. Leave the stems in the pot. They will grow roots and leaves at the nodes.
- Use for garnishing
- Make a chutney when you have a enough harvest.
- Brew Mint tea.
- Chew a few Mint leaves as medicine for getting rid of indigestion.
- Make MaTha.

Interim President Considers Changes to Foreign Ownership of Farmland
Economic stagnation has Brazil’s policymakers looking for answers. One solution could come in the form of a change to the Brazilian law that bars foreign ownership of agricultural land. Interim President Michel Temer will reconsider this policy, Reuters reported.
Under restrictions adopted in 2010 by former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, foreign money cannot be used to acquire farmland in Brazil, whether that money comes from individuals or companies under foreign control. Brazil has blocked foreign ownership of farmland due to concerns that too much fertile agricultural land would fall into the hands of other countries, such as China.
However, there is apparently some new thinking on the matter. In discussing with Reuters the government’s plan to lift the restrictions on foreign ownership of farmland, Secretary of Investment Moreira Franco told the news agency that the current rules are “completely unreasonable.” Though rules restricting foreign ownership of land were intended to protect Brazil, industries that produce commodities from land, such as sugar and timber, have not supported the policy.
Agriculture has long been a mainstay of the Brazilian economy. Fibria, the world’s largest pulp exporter by volume, has its headquarters in Brazil. Its eucalyptus trees grow faster in Brazil than eucalyptus trees in Europe and China, giving the company advantages over pulp producers elsewhere.
Both Fibria and Eldorado Brasil, another pulpmaker, have announced plans to expand their plants in Mato Grosso do Sul. Klabin, a paper producer, has started a new plant in Paraná. Those three projects together are expected to add 5 million tons to Brazil’s annual pulp production, Reuters reported.
But Ibá (Indústria Brasileira de Árvores), the trade association representing the pulp and wood industry in Brazil, believes that removing restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land will open the country to even more land investment for the industry. According to Elizabeth de Carvalhaes of Iba, lifting the land ownership restrictions could open the doors to $19 billion worth of investment as pulp producers based in other countries could expand to Brazil.
Land earmarked for agricultural and timber purposes will not reach its full potential without the investment to support it. Even if that investment comes from foreign companies, Brazil still stands to reap benefits from the jobs and revenue that industry expansion creates. Changing Brazil’s land ownership restrictions will not be a complete solution to the country’s economic woes, but it would add one more desperately needed piece to help solve the country’s economic puzzle.

Wyffels Hybrids is an independent, family-owned producer of corn seeds. In a highly competitive industry of major corporations like Monsanto, Wyffels has been successful by producing a superior product and delivering it with exceptional service.
Wyffels’ website is at the heart of the company’s marketing efforts. The website allows Wyffels to tell their story, communicating to customers how their products outperform competitors, and demonstrating their “customer-first” approach. Pedrera was initially engaged to take over maintenance and support functions, given our expertise in web development -- especially ExpressionEngine development.
Our partnership began with simple edits, and evolved to an upgrade of their ExpressionEngine CMS from version 2.x to 4.x. After a few years, Wyffels felt that the time was right for a complete website redesign. Wyffels retained Pedrera to perform all the technical aspects of the project. Their agency, O&H, handled design.
ExpressionEngine remained the foundation of the new Wyffels website. A fresh installation running the latest version was set up, along with a new information architecture, content model and template system. Pedrera converted the designs from the third-party agency into a user interface system. These templates were then connected to the ExpressionEngine CMS.
After establishing the core website functionality, Pedrera worked with Wyffels to create a series of custom features that would set the website apart from the competition.
Dynamic Product Catalog
A product catalog with an advanced search allowing customers to filter by different combinations of corn seed attributes. The product details pages graphically present the numerous characteristics of the corn seed, and an algorithm suggests related corn seeds for consideration.
Historical Data with Geographic Search
A database of corn trial results that can be searched by year and/or location. The results are rendered in both a list and map view, giving customers a real sense of their potential crop yield when using Wyffels seeds.
Head-to-head Product Comparison Database
A head-to-head comparison tool that allows Wyffels products to be matched to competitor products, with the “Wyffels advantage” clearly shown.
Geographic Monitoring Tool with Weekly Data Feed
A monitoring tool for pests that pulls current field observations and historical data into a searchable map.
Harvest Calculator with Historical and Forecast Weather Data Feed
A calculator that pulls current and past weather data to predict when crops will be ready for harvest based on their seed, location and planting date.
A Platform for Continued Success
The website continues to serve as the centerpiece of Wyffels’ marketing and customer efforts, and it’s a proven resource for farmers in the central corn belt. Pedrera regularly creates new features, as well as optimization and maintenance services to keep the website running in top form.

All About Produce Production and Packaging
Everyone in the world needs to eat food so as to live. It is because of all that the food industry is still making so many profits. The main processes in the industry are growing, selling, and producing. The good thing is that this industry also spans to include the businesses in food services and manufacturing as well as farms. You can clearly be able to find this same industry in multiple places globally. There are many things about this industry that many people do not know. There are many other sectors that contribute up to the point you are able to get food on the table. The only way to be successful in this industry is to get to know the basics. In this article we take a look at the basics of produce production and packaging.
We should begin by defining produce production. The definition is to produce sustenance for human life by growing and raising plants and animals. There are many categories of produce production apart from that of food. For you to be involved in agricultural production you need to know more about what it takes to grow the produce or raise the animals. It is also upon you to find a way to get the product to the clients in good condition.
It is though packing of the product can it get it to the customers you have. It is now more important than ever to ensure proper product packaging since the food safety concerns are very high. You, therefore, have to ensure that the packaging for the food is very good. There is no law that forces you to handle the packaging of the produce. Going for a copacker is the best course of action here. It will be the work of the copacker to make the packaging and also do the packing.
When you choose a copacker to hire it will be like having outsourced that work to another company. You are the one to agree with the copacker about how the products will be packed. It will be better if you choose to be giving the copacker the produce to pack in bulk.
The one very important reason why you should choose to outsource to a copacker is that all of your focus will remain on the produce production. Another very good advantage of having a copacker is that the copacker has the required professional skills ad experience when it comes to packing of produce. A good copacker can also be able to connect you to the best distributors. You should choose a good copacker company no matter the price.

Agriculture Irrigation Automation
BMP AUTOMATION ARGICULTURE IRRIGATION SYSTEM
BMP Automation has lowered the operating cost and reduced the operating demand of irrigation system by between 20% – 30%. Our customers wanted to achieve energy saving by making the current motor driven irrigation system more energy efficient. The aim of irrigation system is to meet the water requirement s of the crop in order to obtain optimum production with a system that operates efficiently at the lowest operating cost. The design of the irrigation system must therefore focus on operating cost and not on initial capital costs.
BMP Automation boosts energy efficiency
Our customers request better control and production improvements of the irrigation system. BMP Automation fits a range of different variable speed drives (VSDs) in farmer’s pump stations to control their speed which is the most efficient way to control the flow rate of the water and pressure in main lines.
When the pump’s speed is reduced with VSDs, the power consumption is also reduced. Slowing the motor speed down to match the actual demand needed by the application reduces energy consumption up to 30% compared to the previous irrigation system. In the past, flow/pressure requirements were achieved by throttling and then reducing the flow rates – this technique wastes surplus energy through friction.
Reduced maintenance costs
Additional benefits of the renewed system include automation re-starting of the irrigation systems if an electrical supply outage occurs e.g., if there is a power outage, the system will automatically start once the power was restored, which will ensure greater reliability and minimum disruption to the crop farm. The automatic power factor correction feature will reduce demand charges. It the operating head/pressure is reduced, the water flow will also be reduced, ensured mechanical and electrical stress and therefore reduce maintenance issues and costs to the customer. The system will also automatically record pressure, temperature and drives power used.

Application of science into technology creates a lot of problems, like pollution, contamination, mass production and therefore industrialisation, then city life and so on. If you are to consider the lump-some cost, then, yes, it is high, but the same cost goes even higher if the company has to market a product differently in every country that it is selling.
Indeed, reports show that allergic reactions to soy shot up dramatically in the UK after the introduction of a genetically modified soy bean. These pesticides help in identifying and removing diseased and dying plants in time and subsequently, increasing crop defense systems.
By doing so, scientists are hoping to achieve a specific benefit such as increased crop yield, resistance to herbicides and pesticides, resistance to disease or drought tolerance.
Eventually, the journal that published the study retracted itand a number of national health and regulatory agencies concluded that the study was insufficiently rigorous to justify any change in policy. Limiting the use of synthetic fertilizers or completely doing away with them reduces the risk of exposure to ailments that arise on account of synthetic pesticides, ingrained plant growth regulators and the presence of genetically modified organisms in organic food products.
The overseas laws may be conflicting in these policies. Organic farming effectively addresses soil management.
To add to this the increased demand for organic produce makes organic farming a profitable option for farmers.
Though this point is debatable as the productivity and soil quality of an industrialized farm decreases rapidly over the years. You can still select foods that have not been modified by looking closely at the label. With globalization there has been establishment of multinational or transnational corporations.
Disadvantages of Organic Farming Lower Productivity: The Laws of the Land Have to be Considered: For more info about the pros and cons of globalization, check out this video: Science is a way to learn how things work. This can put smaller companies, at a disadvantage as they do not have resources to compete at global scale.
Everything we do is part of science. Give animate beings organic provender and let them entree to the out-of-doorss. Organic nutrient defined by the nutrient must be produced, procedures and packaged without the presence of man-made pesticides, weedkillers, insect powders, antifungals, etc.
Cost At the minute organic nutrients are excessively expensive when compared to other nutrient merchandises that use pesticides and familial technology, because of harvest failures since husbandmans can non utilize any chemicals like pesticides. This therefore demonstrates that globalization has a direct effect on access to healthcare and stressing the need to access healthcare services.
Sometimes it can be hard to meet all the strenuous requirements and the experience to carry out organic farming. According to the study, rats fed this diet were more likely to develop tumors than others. In other words, GM crops offer farmers in developing countries an environmentally sustainable way to improve food security.
You can do bad things with just about every good thing. Imagine someone with a peanut allergy going into anaphylactic shock after eating an apple that contained peanut genes in it! Science is essential, and is not a new thing, it has been going on for many hundreds of years, it as just got more and more sophisticated.
Eating genetically modified foods may have negative effects on your overall health and on the environment.Resources: Environmental Ethics, Ch. 6 Prepare a word paper on the advantages and disadvantages of GMOs.
Include consideration of the ethical implications of both the advantages and disadvantages of GMO to. Advantages of modern agriculture During the latter half of the twentieth century, what is known today as modern agriculture was very successful in meeting a growing demand for food by the world's population.

Columbian Supremo – It is the coffee with the highest quality that has a rich and complete taste. Colombia is known as the country producing the Arabica of the highest quality. The local standards of quality regulations are the strictest ones. Every stage of coffee growth and processing is regulated by the state. Only organic fertilizer is applied, the crops are harvested by hand and chosen only the ripen fruit. Almost all crops are processed by wet processing. The main unique feather of the Colombian coffee is that it grows under the shadows of the tall trees. It is a soft taste that blends with wine and fruit aromas. It is precisely for this quality all over the world.

Okiwi Passion supplies a wide range of citrus and other fruit trees for gardeners on Great Barrier Island.
We have put in a lot of effort into researching varieties which:
(a) will remain healthy without the need for a disease control programme,
(b) will fruit well in our low chill, almost sub-tropical environment,
(c) have fruit that tastes GREAT!
We source our trees from reputable nurseries and propagate some varieties ourselves from local ”Barrier” trees. Most fruit trees, including citrus, need to be pre-ordered from our catalogues. We do hold a small amount of stock that we bring to the Saturday markets in Tryphena and can also be purchased at our farm in Okiwi.
Ordering fruit trees
Fruit trees other than citrus should be ordered as early as possible in April and May (or even earlier!). Containerised trees will be available in May; bare rooted trees will be available in August. Please see details in the Fruit Tree Catalogue Introduction and Order Form document.
Citrus can be ordered anytime, we bring two or three shipments every year to Great Barrier.
So get yourself comfy and have a browse!
Caity has a bit of a love affair with roses! This painting ”The Soul of the Rose” by William Waterhouse, says it all.
The roses in this catalogue are chosen for:
(a) their scent,
(b) the beauty of the bloom,
(c) recurrent/continuous flowering as much as possible.
If there is a rose you want which we don’t have listed, please do contact us so we can get it for you!

Hakalau Chocolate is as pure as it gets! We discovered a delicious way to make bold, dark chocolate without processed sugar - we just use two ingredients - our cacao, and local honey (patent-pending). That's it - no added cocoa butter, no lecithin, no refined sugar!
Our cacao trees grow intermingled with other fruit trees throughout the farm. We never use herbicides or commercial fertilizers on them, only nutrient-dense compost made on the farm and mulch from surrounding support trees.
Every step of Hakalau Chocolate-making is done by hand, in small batches. We pick the pods when ripe (or buy them from nearby organic farmers who do the same), and then ferment, dry, crack, roast, and conch in our stone grinder. The only ingredient that goes in the grinder is cacao nibs. Then when we make bars, we stir in local honey, and finally add either our roasted cacao nibs for a little crunch, or local organic roasted macadamia nuts with a sprinkle of salt. OMG this chocolate is so good!
Our honey comes from one of several friends who are natural beekeepers on the east side of Big Island. They do not use miticides, so there is no pesticide residue in the honey. They also (like us) are scrupulous about avoiding contact with plastics unless the plastic is BPA-free. Our farm has several hives and some of the honey in the bars is from right here on Kulike Farm. The bees forage in surrounding eucalyptus forests as well as all the fruit trees and flowers on the property (oranges, lemons, avocados, basil, bee balm etc.).
Our macadamia nuts come from Hawaii Local Buzz, in the South Point area of Big Island. These are the best nuts we have tasted on the island - incredibly sweet-tasting and fresh, and dehydrated to preserve that flavor. We roast the nuts before adding to the chocolate for that extra delicious taste and crunch.
The beautiful package design artist is Eve Furchgott, who lives right in Wailea, just next-door to Hakalau (one ahupua'a over). You can see some of her wonderful work here: https://www.blueheron1.com/

Overall Considerations regarding our Wines
First of all, it is necessary to stress that the production of a good wine starts at the vineyard. Here there are four factors involved in the process to harvest a fully ripe grape, which is able to show all the potential of the variety: vine, soil, climate, and vineyard management.
Our winery has high quality varieties, especially reds of French origin, and stands out particularly for its iconic Tannat. Among our varieties we have Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Marselan, Syrah and Chardonnay.
Soil and Climate
Our region has the peculiarity of calcareous clay soils, typical of Paysandú. The composition of the soil is directly reflected in the peculiarities of the wines.
The climate impacts in a similar way, as light hours, temperature and rain condition the ripening process. Paysandú allows for a long growth cycle, enabling the varieties mentioned to reach their maximum stage of ripening, and even over-ripening.
From the training system to the phytosanitary treatments, everything has an impact on the quality of the grapes.
Our vineyards are trained in Lyra, a system developed exclusively in our country, which distinguishes us from other winegrowing countries.
This system achieves better photosynthetic efficiency, resulting in better foliage training. A better exposure of the fruit is obtained, thus greatly favoring its ripening as it receives more sunlight.
This is a method for producing red wines, typical of France, of the region of Beaujolais.
In this way, lighter, less aggressive red wines are obtained; with a bouquet of great intensity.
This method involves inserting the whole grapes; that is, without destemming them, in a container saturated with carbon dioxide.
They remain there for approximately a week. During this week an enzymatic fermentation takes place inside the grape’s cells, where the aromatic precursor typical of this method begins.
Then the grapes are pressed and the juice is taken for the process of fermentation into another container with controlled temperature. Once the alcoholic fermentation finishes, the malolactic fermentation begins.
This is done by leaving the juice in contact with the skins for a few hours, under low temperatures (5° C), before the alcoholic fermentation begins, in order to extract the aromatic precursors. This translates into an increase in aromatic intensity and tipicity.
This is done especially for red wines. Once the alcoholic fermentation concludes, the wine is left in contact with the skins for some weeks.
In this case, the objective is to reach a better structure, more unctuosity, greater stability in color and more aromatic tipicity.
