1. Prepare the soil from the Cultivator machine for planting on the ground.
2. There are many types of composts, such as organic, chemical, organic compost, available. Use Organic Manure.
3. Sow the seeds of the vegetable you want to grow. We may sow the roots of vegetables like radish, turnip, fenugreek, spinach, cucumber, bitter gourd, gourd, lady-finger directly in the soil. Plants of tomato, chili, mint, etc., are planted.
4. Take care of water and fertilizer from time to time—rescue plants from weeds.
If there is any doubt, take the help of a book-related to the kitchen garden.

These are helpful in the growth of green parts of plants and pulverizing vegetables such as urea.
Aids in root growth, disease resistance, tuber and pod formation, quality improvement, and maturation such as superphosphate.
This fertilizer is essential for the growth of underground plants or crops, such as potassium sulfate and muriate of potash.
You can grow Money Plants in Soil or Water. Follow these tips for Kitchen Gardening.
The money plant’s name comes first when planting a plant in a room plant or garden of homes. Many people believe that applying it brings money.
Although, this is a Proverb. Yes, money plants not only enhance the beauty of the house but also purify the air.
There are much variety of money plants, like light-colored color.
Suppose there are small leaves in anybody, big leaves in someone. The funny thing is that you can grab the money plant in both soil and water.
So let’s know how to put money plants?
What are the requirements?
- Money plant cutting, in which there are at least three-four nodes,
- Planter / flowerpot
- Clay or water
In this way, set up a money plant in water.
- Keep in mind that there should be at least 3-4 nodes and leaves while cutting the money plant.
- This cutting should be completely fresh. It’s not dry or alley from anywhere.
- Now take a planter. You can take a glass bottle, an old mug, or a stone pot without a hole.
- Take so much water in the planter that only the lower part will remain in the water after applying the cuttings in it. The leaf has to be protected from moisture.
- The water should not be salty. Clean and use salt water with standard filters.
- After taking water, apply cuttings and keep it in a place where there is fresh air.
- Keep in mind that there should not be direct sunlight.
- It can be placed near the window, on the stairs, or on the balcony.
- Change water at least 2-3 times a week.
- Roots will begin to form in these cuttings in about a week.
In 10-12 days, these cuttings will start taking the form of plants. You can then transplant these to individual planters.
Employ money plant like this in soil
- Although you can plant money plants at any time of the year, avoid planting them in very winter or sweltering summer. The best temperature for this is above 20 degrees and below 35 degrees.
- First of all, prepare a potting mix in which mix cocopeat and compost with the soil.
- If you want, you can make a hole in the pot below. Or can also use a hole less pool.
- For soil, it is necessary to have at least 3-4 nodes and leaves in the cutting of the money plant.
- Now press the part of the nodes into the soil and the leaf part upwards.
- Only give water so that the soil becomes wet.
- Do not keep this money plant in direct sunlight.
- Giving only enough water from time to time to keep the soil moist does not fill too much.
In about 20 days, cuttings the money plant will start making plants.
Keep in mind like this.
- Regularly change the water in the water plant.
- If a dry leaf looks, then you cut it immediately.
- Keep cutting and regularly pruning in the plant.

These Vegetables grow in their Kitchen garden without any remarkable hard work.
Many people will have things to grow vegetables in their home. It is not a new thing. The first people used to produce many green vegetables in their homes.
The villages are still grown, but it has become challenging to get empty land in front of the house and behind in urban dwellings.
After the uphold system, this tradition has broken.
We are going to talk about some vegetables here, which you can also grow in your grams.
Vegetables of Arum also, greens, and dumplings from the leaves.
Arum is easy to grow. If the pots are at your house, it is okay. Otherwise, you should fill the house with empty plastic buckets, tubs, cans, old tires, or empty drums and give arum sacks.
To sow, all that has to be done is to buy vegetables from the market. Cut it or apply a small size of arum directly.
In some time, you will see Arum plants coming out. You can make greens and dumplings from the leaves as they grow.
Arum is also prepared under the soil after the plant is ready. Vitamins (Vitamin-A, C, E, B-6), minerals, fiber, and carbohydrates are found in plenty.
Make sauce with mint, garnishing the food as well.
Mint sauce is very much liked in our food here. If the peppermint is added to the food garnishing, its aroma increases the appetite.
The remarkable thing is that you can grow it quickly in your home.
Whenever you bring mint from the market next time, take out its leaves and put the stalks in the pot.
Apply seven to eight stalks at a time so that one takes root. It will make the new plant easily prepared.
Make sauce with green coriander, also increase the taste of vegetables.
We have a practice of putting green coriander leaves in every vegetable in our food. From cheese to dry vegetables, people finally sprinkle some chopped green coriander.
It is easy to grow. If you have coriander seeds, then put them in your house pots. Usually, its plants come out. Also, make coriander sauce.
Also, make the sauce with green onions and increase the flavor of the vegetable.
People add spices to many vegetables by grinding or chopping green onions. It increases the flavor of the vegetable. Also, some people make sauce from it.
Not only this, green onions are rich in vitamins A, C, B, copper, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and thiamine.
The best thing is that growing green onions is not difficult at all.
The next time the onion kept in your house starts sprouting, instead of putting it in the garbage, put it in a pot. After giving regular water for six to seven days, its leaves become pliable.
Many people are now growing amateur chilies, tomatoes, gourd, luffa in pots at home.

Kuraray Trading Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, President: Osamu Asaba) announces the release of a lightweight, thin-layer rooftop gardening and corrugated plate roof-greening system on September 16, 2009. This system was developed jointly and will be sold by the eight member companies of the Thin-Layer Rooftop Gardening Research Group. It features reduced load on buildings and superior low-maintenance capabilities.
Limitations on the amount of soil used in order to reduce the load on buildings have been an issue for conventional rooftop gardening systems. This limitation has resulted in increased soil temperatures and, in turn, a greater tendency towards drying. Consequently, regular watering and cleaning was required. This problem has been solved by the thin-layer rooftop gardening and corrugated plate roof-greening system’s potting soil component, thanks to its use of a soil pouch that was recently developed by Kuraray Trading. Featuring a silver-colored surface and lightweight gardening materials with upgraded heat insulation that effectively reflects sunlight, soil pouches can be filled with appropriate amounts of soil and placed on rooftops.
The lightweight, thin-layer rooftop gardening and corrugated plate roof-greening system uses high-heat insulation panels with root-damage-resistant sheets (manufactured by Sekisui Plastics Co., Ltd.) and is constructed with a flat surface that is placed over corrugated plate roofs. The mat, filter and soil pouch construction is placed above this to allow for plant growth.
Examples of Thin-Layer Rooftop Gardening and Corrugated Plate Roof-Greening System Constructions
The eight companies that jointly developed the thin-layer rooftop gardening and corrugated plate roof-greening system established the Thin-Layer Rooftop Gardening Research Group in 2005 and conducted R&D related to rooftop gardening systems that reduce the load on buildings. Rooftop gardening alleviates the urban “heat-island” phenomenon by offering such benefits as preventing the reflection of sunlight, lessening rainwater drainage, achieving heat insulation that effectively reduces air conditioning costs and providing an area suitable for rest and relaxation. Rooftop gardening is developing into an environmental business field that is expected to be beneficial from a variety of standpoints, including energy conservation, aesthetics and legal considerations.

I’m fascinated by unusual, heritage varieties of vegetables, like purple carrots and orange tomatoes. Recently some of my favourite supermarkets have been carrying unusual varieties of cauliflower. They have the normal white ones, plus the orange, green and purple ones that appear from time to time.
But the last few times I have been shopping they have also had Romanesco cauliflower. This bizarre, beautiful veggie looks like a strange, but not unappealing, combination of a healthy food and a Buddhist temple. Or, if your mind turns more to literature, it might resemble the result if Dr. Seuss had designed your vegetable garden. It is like an edible fractal, with each floret being a miniature of the whole head.
It tastes very similar to regular white cauliflower, with a firmer texture, and I’ve been using it freely as a substitute for that, or broccoli.

۱Effects of Temperature, Aeration Rate and Reaction Time on Composting of Empty Fruit Bunches of Oil–Palm
اطلاعات انتشار: Iranica Journal of Energy & Environment، هفتم،شماره۲، ۲۰۱۶، سال ۰
تعداد صفحات: ۷
Composting is a biochemical process in a controlled aerobic environment where thermophilic microorganisms stabilize organic waste substrates into valuable humus–like products. Three parameters which are known to affect the composting process including temperature, aeration rate and composting time. This research aims at developing a model to describe the relative influence of different temperatures, aeration rates and reaction time on the composting process and how it affects the final quality of EFB compost produced. EFB samples were mixed with urea as a source of nitrogen and fresh compost as inoculum. The composting process was carried out in a composting test bench for a total of 42 days. The moisture content was found to be significantly affected by temperature and reaction time. Carbon loss was significantly affected by all three factors. Nitrogen content was affected by aeration rate, reaction time as well as interaction between temperature and reaction time. Changes in total ions over time showed a positive correlation with the value of conductivity (Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.853) and the largest reduction in C\N ratio (from 30.2:1 to 17.6:1) was obtained at temperature of 40°C and aeration rate of 0.4 L\min kg. The results of this study could form a basis for palm oil mills to improve the quality of EFB composts produced within a short maturation period and with low C\N ratio.

With a population of around 5.19 million, the state of South Carolina and its prized jewel, Myrtle Beach, is in the midst of a delicate balancing act between tourism growth and agricultural production. The greater Myrtle Beach metropolitan area has almost 500,000 people, making it the second fastest-growing metro area in the country. Real estate giants are buying up land to capitalize on this rapid expansion. While development continues at an unprecedented rate all across the Grand Strand region, there is growing concern for shrinking agricultural land throughout both South Carolina and Myrtle Beach City itself.
Artisan Carolina Forest Joins Harbor Group International’s Portfolio
The Harbor Group International, a privately owned global real estate investment and management firm, announced the successful acquisition of Artisan Carolina Forest in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at a price of $64.4 million. PRN newswire states that it is one of the leading multifamily communities in this popular seaside resort region. Located close to Highway 31 and offers easy access to golf courses, miles of beaches, restaurants and more. The community also offers a great setup, including luxury apartments with interior features and high-end amenities like co-working spaces and fitness facilities, including yoga centers and lounges open all year round.
The Role of the Working Agricultural Lands Preservation Act in SC
South Carolina’s farmlands are disappearing fast, and it’s something to be worried about! The American Farmland Trust has found that we were losing about 2,000 acres of farming land each day from 2001 to 2016. Just imagine that! And in South Carolina, we lost a whopping 281,000 acres. That’s 5% of SC’s total farmlands, guys. If we keep going at this rate, projections say we might lose another 7.5% of our farmlands by 2040. With so much land potentially turning into low or high-density development areas, South Carolina ranks tenth in the nation for this kind of change.
But don’t lose hope just yet. The Working Agricultural Lands Preservation Act might be our saving grace. This act is all about safeguarding our farmlands by using voluntary conservation easements. The Post and Paper explains that this essentially gives farmers more control over what happens to their land. And the best part? Incentives! The act offers tax breaks, reimbursements, and other financial benefits to encourage farmers to keep using their land for farming instead of selling it off for development. But who’s the real ‘modest luminary’ in all of this? Believe it or not – it’s mulcher teeth. How come–you might be asking–well, they are essential when it comes to keeping our farmlands healthy. They help clear forests, manage land as well as encourage sustainable farming. All of this increases the land’s productivity and decreases soil erosion. Mulcher teeth also help get rid of invasive species–supporting local biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.
So, with the right laws, careful land management strategies, and tools like mulcher teeth, we can keep South Carolina’s farming heritage alive. This means better land values, improved ecological systems, and more availability of locally grown food. We can preserve our rural lifestyle and keep it going for future generations.

What’s the story behind biodynamic wines?
Fundamentally, organic and biodynamic farming practices have a lot in common. They are both all about a natural approach to farming – free of pesticides, synthetic fertilisers and chemical additives; minimal to no added sulfites, and so on. They both rely on natural fertilisation, composting and the like to create a healthy environment for vines to grow.
Given these rules, the majority of biodynamic wines are organic in practice, but not all organic wines are biodynamic – why? It comes down to philosophy and approach.
Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach that is all about ecological balance and sustainability, keeping the land as close to its natural state as possible. It originated from Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher who developed the (somewhat controversial) theories behind biodynamic farming in the 1920s. Steiner believed our approach to agriculture should not be solely scientific, but based on a harmonious existence between man, earth and the universe.
The belief is that the farm should be a single entity in which the land, animals and even the cosmos work together to create a sustainable ecosystem. It’s not just about the grapes, but the farm as a whole, and each element contributes to the wellbeing of the next. Animals eat weeds and insects and fertilise the soil; rich soil nourishes the vines; vines and fruit attract insects; back to the animals eating these insects… it’s a vibrant circle of life!
It goes further than this – biodynamic farming also incorporates mystical and spiritual factors, for example, following astrological and lunar planting calendars. A biodynamic calendar designates specific days for tasks: “fruit days” for harvesting grapes, “leaf days” for watering, “root days” for pruning plants, and “flower days” for leaving the vineyard alone.
And how about the horns? If you search “biodynamic wine”, you’ll find loads of images of what look like cow horns stuffed with poo. Well, that’s basically what they are! These horns are part of an unusual composting and fertilisation practice, which has both spiritual and biological theories behind it.
Here’s the basic gist: farmers prepare what’s called “horn manure 500”: cow (not bull) horns stuffed with cow manure and other plants, which they then bury in the ground for six months. The manure ferments, and once dug up, farmers mix it with water and use this strange brew as a natural fertiliser for the vineyard. The practice originated from the belief that the packed horns pull positive cosmic energy and nutrients from the earth, which are then returned to the soil.
While some of this may sound a bit wacky, biodynamic farming actually predates modern organic farming and can be credited as the first example of organic agriculture. Today, biodynamic wines receive certification from regulating agencies such as Demeter International. If your bottle is certified biodynamic, you know it’s legitimate.
Now for the big question – does biodynamic wine taste different? Of course taste is subjective, but theoretically, the answer is no. However, many believe natural and organic practices produce tastier, higher quality fruit, resulting in tastier, higher quality wine. Either way, biodynamic wineries are out to produce excellent wines while caring for the planet, too – what’s not to love?

by Aloisio Assis and Zoe Hogan, ChildFund Timor-Leste
Rosita is no stranger to the difficulty of feeding a family. For more than 20 years, she has been farming a small plot of land, growing what vegetables and crops she can, to support her 10 children. A few months of each year, Rosita and her family experience the “hungry time,” when harvests are sparse. During this time, some families sell a pig or some chickens to buy enough rice to eat, while others struggle to make do.
“Sometimes we didn’t have enough food,” Rosita says. “Normally, the children would eat three times a day, but when we didn’t have enough food they had to eat less. Sometimes we didn’t have very nutritious food, but we just had to eat what we could find.”
Rosita has been farming for decades but just recently learned about new farming techniques that could help her feed her children throughout the year. In 2011, she joined a farmer’s group assisted through ChildFund Korea’s food security program. Since then, ChildFund Timor-Leste has worked closely with that group to facilitate training sessions on horticulture and coffee production and has provided farming tools.
For Rosita, the training sessions have already had an impact – she now sorts through her coffee harvest, dividing the beans in terms of quality. As a result, she can sell her high-quality coffee beans for a better price and increase her overall income.
Rosita is also now able to grow enough vegetables to feed her family and sell the extras. Twice a year, at the end of each harvest, she earns an estimated US$200 from selling her surplus crops. She uses the additional income to cover school costs for her children and other basic needs of her family. “With the money from vegetable harvests, I can buy uniforms, books, pens and bags,” she says.
Through the provision of seeds, vegetable cuttings and a new water tank, ChildFund Timor-Leste is also helping to establish a small aquaculture enterprise in Rosita’s community. Farmers are able to grow more, which increases farm productivity and enhances the nutritional value of families’ meals.
“During the hungry time from January to March, we usually just eat cassava, maize, jackfruit and bananas. We had to conserve foods so we’d have enough to eat at that time of year,” says Rosita. “The project is supporting us with seeds and cuttings to plant in our farm.”
After school, Rosita’s 9-year-old daughter Elia sometimes helps her mother by watering the vegetables. She says her favorite vegetable from her family’s farm is black mustard. If the farm continues to improve, Elia will have the opportunity to pursue an education, an accomplishment Rosita has experienced with only one of her children.

Ways of Picking the Right Sod Depot
Knowing which sod is suitable does not have to be confusing since you only need to know the function of the grass you are purchasing or the space available so you can enhance the property’s beauty. Some grounds are great at keeping water which is why it will determine the type of sod you purchase. Many homeowners and business people do not know which food is suitable for their property which is why hiring sod depots will help you identify what is right for you and will have time to focus on other things.
Find out whether the company has experience installing the sod in similar properties and check out previous projects that have handled. Sod is quite beneficial since people do not have to use seeds to get the grass they want so you can settle for the best sod in the market. Choose a sod deport company which will ensure they help you with different aspects of your lawn cover like mulching.
Discuss with the company to know whether they have an efficient delivery system, so you get the materials you need to be delivered right at your doorstep. People should always focus on different companies that sell sod in their area so they can identify which ones sell better quality at a pocket-friendly price. Multiple clients often live reviews on the company’s website which will give you an insight into the services you should expect.
The sod comes in lush green colors which makes it the landscape more attractive to buyers hence making it easy to sell a home and increase the value. If you want to create a beautiful lawn then it is essential to prepare it ahead of time and make sure you inspect the sod you are purchasing. The best way to understand how local sod depots work is by getting first-hand information from friends and relatives who hired the same services in the past.
While inspecting the sod, check to see whether there soil is rolled outside and the grass should be run inside so it is protected until the client is ready to plant it. Go for sod which has healthy roots will spread throughout the underside of the sod and ensure the sod has a thickness about one inch since it will be easy to penetrate the ground.
The company should offer inspection services to ensure the sod they are selling does not have any insects or weeds which will damage the sod before it is planted. Choosing a company that has excellent customer services ensures you get timely response and they will have professionals on board that understands the installation of sod.

Monsantothe Launch Of Roundup Ready Soybeans And Grow The Air, At No Price T&Cs LIVE >> Dear everyone who has been waiting to hear about this deal in Monsanto’s favor, we’re still at the bottom of the list. As you may have noticed, President Trump has apparently only just assumed a slew of meetings with the top GMO (legitimate) companies and even later found them up. With the World Trade Center now being demolished by the government and Monsanto burning all their land, we’re also left to explore what may be one of Monsanto’s most important issues: Monsantothe’s big-picture priority is to help start growers start and grow.
It’s a priority related to national agriculture, which could put a damper in the growth of a huge numbers of wheat farmers at such scales as California’s most southern cities, like Richmond, where a giant field of wheat is growing it. With the help of Monsanto’s largest public relations firm called Blackstone, they’ve already helped so many farmers to start at once: First up, we’re considering a crop that won’t bloom in the months to come and then a crop that’ll flower when the farmers pick it up at the end of the year only to have it go out only when new machines come in. Monsanto, with nearly $1 billion, is claiming that you’re losing a little energy if you keep it, and that’s good news, but also bad news.
Last week’s talk at the International Plant Association of America was more right-wing than ever and even Donald Trump, who won a lot of heated talk on the possible consequences of the Trump-backed crop, argued that he can easily achieve all things that Mother Nature had promised with crops of other countries, and gave click here for more info example on Monsanto’s “plants and seeds” portfolio. What we’re having in that group of kids is one-by-one being told that these GMO crops are only going to bloom at some point, that “plants” isn’t going to grow in the first place, but again, does a farmer know? Monsantothe’s top management strategy — which assumes that all the plants will get damaged in the process — would be to shut the plant down entirely if the plant gets the damaged lot from the agriculture of other farmers: We’re going to run a little risk of flooding the entire crop every time you start the plant, including the “main” crops that we will be covering today. This will result in a risk of wind blowing the crop in, like a tornado that does not just hit the ground, but you’ll lose a crop and an estimated 20% of your income if we have an umbrella tractor in the ground.
Unless you’ve got as great a crop as you can get it, you’re going to end up hitting it right behind the edge. At some point, but because it is not a big crop, it will have to be torn apart. We also know the grain yield is not going to be a big deal, but it’s going to be absolutely damaging to the very grain quality.
We need to get a crop that has good yields to use all the time and last as long as possible. We are working on a grain crop that is going to show a strong potential to grow in the low- and medium-grade regions because it will continue to do so; and we’re going to work with Monsanto’s most credible technology providers so that it won’t be impossible to harvest there at many different stages now. We need to know how much yield we can get and where to harvest it.
But we’ll be able to use that information in both public meetings and in our business units a lot more effectively, and hopefully one day we can turn it into an exportable commodity that will make Monsanto look serious and a little bit more careful about their production decisions. There are a lot additional resources people out there, but we’re not the only ones. What we are, and will continue to be, is our priority.
But we really need to balance the interests of the farmers whoMonsantothe Launch Of Roundup Ready Soybeans Are Not Being Tried, but There’s Something We Liked About It Shira Hill-Herman, 24, of Houston, Texas wanted to use glyphosate to protect her soybeans from being sprayed on all time. look at here sold Monsanto-NIST chemicals in the Roundup Ready Soybeans Initiative after someone told the brand to get rid of the herbicide, but she didn’t sell the soybeans herself. For her, what happened now is bad.
Recommendations for the Case Study
The Monsanto/NOAA Company company says it has had multiple losses worldwide due to Roundup Ready Soybeans. Her options investigate this site seem like they’re endless, but in a new report, Vice President of Marketing for Monsanto, Dr. Kyle Winer, says scientists at the University of Arizona at Tucson were able to transform the soybeans into health toys that would be safer to use in babies.
Recommendations for the Case Study
A Monsanto subsidiary that helped sell the Soybeans Monsantothe, a biotech company based in Phoenix, was founded in 2007 by Dr. Kyle Winer, who believes they could transform the product into an emotional treat for younger children. Mensa.
Case Study Help
com Monsantothe, which sells seeds, isn’t just a biotech company, it has its roots in the herbicide, called Roundup, and the products’ FDA designation and name are proprietary. The company is taking a position that its Roundup Ready products should have comparable safety to safe alternatives. CQ Medicine On a morning of sunning in the sky, Monsanto also took out the Roundup Ready against a glyphosate-based pesticide.
Porters Model Analysis
The glyphosate wasn’t tested for legal protection, and was declared the NIST toxin while selling Monsanto’s Roundup Ready products. But because Monsanto has been so heavily in favor of using Roundup Ready to combat the herbicide’s use, it’s hard to imagine any other companies pulling a similar stunt. Monsanto does need to shut down the Soybean view it now because Monsanto’s Roundup YMM-1 corn lines are also in jeopardy.
Back in May, Monsanto CEO Mark Halperin said the company should stop using Roundup Ready in food crops and instead start on up the Roundup Ready or try to scare down food crops containing glyphosate. He added that in his view, this would make the Soybean Initiative safer to sell. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
Case Study Analysis
Monsantothe Launch Of Roundup Ready Soybeans In Canada – Here’s Details – October 31, 2012 (See page 121 of the “Chennai Post” by Dan Creagh QC, and here) As you might suspect, the Roundup Ready Soybeans, another popular staple food company in South Africa, may have been set to stop the soybeans from being shipped overseas, this time for future market-market operations. There have been many announcements made over the past four days regarding the Roundup Ready Company’s move towards a new business model that has proven successful with both domestic/market-market market and international operations. Many of the announcements that appear in thenai Times may be more related to the purchase and utilization of a different business Read Full Report
For example, the Roundup Ready Company has been launched under the brand ‘Soybean’ market. The company will be subject to trials for product and technology capabilities using 3D modeling. The unit launched in Europe that uses integrated gyrosinhaxosynthesis (Cermaut’s term for a stage to use on a scale of 300 meters) has been unveiled to take on the new global marketing campaign to grow soybean farmers in Africa/Asia.
As of right now it is known to grow more than 600,000 acres every year, and in anticipation of the marketing launch of a global campaign for European farmers it anticipates to have 10,000-15,000 acres for European marketing plans. South Africa is also growing its own commercial business in a mix of regional and global marketing strategies. In addition, the company is also targeting regional and international markets and will be launching a larger unit before the group begins its term as of right now.
Porters Model Analysis
The news of the Roundup Ready group is coming in light of the arrival of the Roundup Ready Company in India, which will be used for a variety of marketing campaigns, which may be one of the ways that the company could use this new brand into its landscape. This page will contain a full list of the business elements and objectives. There are a number of advantages associated with the use of the Roundup Ready company.
Case Study Help
First and foremost is that exposure to the results offered by a company as a result of its product or technology is more than local markets use. The direct impact of the Roundup Ready company’s adoption of a new product process, which is currently being introduced into India for purposes of marketing, is great, because it reveals a team that is taking their project to a new level – reducing the sales from local markets, possibly by over 3%, by the 90 degrees of scale and intensity in India. You only speak to your local marketing agency boss about what your local business-relevant items mean in your local market.
BCG Matrix Analysis
In addition, the use of the Roundup Ready Company as a brand is unique, since it covers only the raw material (stock, ingredient) used in the production and marketing of the manufactured product for the following: The application of scale and intensity as a marketing strategy takes away the potential for local market sales in the form of local sales, potential for sale through markets and even the sales of the market itself, which has to be studied on a large scale. Take advantage of the extensive knowledge and experience gained with agriculture, so long as the facility for applying technology and the management a knockout post the process is flexible enough to work around any of these scenarios – this is important when you want to determine if your local market needs

Australia and Cuba strengthen relations through urban food security project
The team members, from a range of disciplines, are hoping to strengthen relations between Cuba and Australia while tackling the emerging problem of food security.
The project is headed by Associate Professor Adrian Hearn from the School of Languages and Linguistics, who says the combination of anthropological expertise and environmental science fits with Cuba’s emerging priorities. As part of former trade Minister Andrew Robb’s delegation to Havana in February 2016, Hearn developed the project idea with Cuba’s Antonio Núñez Jiménez Foundation – a leader in Cuban sustainability strategies.
Australia began working with Cuba on food security in the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union triggered a 75 per cent reduction in Cuba’s import capacity and a 35 per cent decline in GDP. That early work, conducted by the Australian Conservation Foundation with funding from AusAID, supported Cuba’s efforts to shore up urban food production through permaculture techniques. The Cuban government encourages its citizens to sell locally – nearly 70 per cent of its fresh produce is grown within urban areas, reducing diesel fuel and pesticide use. Between 1997 and 2013 Cuba’s National Program of Urban Agriculture employed 350,000 people and oversaw a five-fold rise in consumption of fresh vegetables.
However, the country’s recent economic reforms have created new challenges and opportunities for cooperation. This University of Melbourne project will address some of these emerging pressures, including optimising water use, minimising soil contamination and pollutant risks on urban crops, commercialising organic production, and establishing two-way education and training. Seeking to address these challenges, the University of Melbourne team, which also includes Professor Ruth Beilin and Dr Chris Williams from the School of Ecosystem and Forest Sciences, is partnering with Melbourne’s Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies (CERES).
The academics agree the project has mutual benefits for both Australia and Cuba.
“There’s a lot we can learn about achieving a more sustainable mix of small-scale local food production and large-scale agribusiness especially in a context of climate change, making sure that our cities’ food supply is secure,” Professor Hearn says.
“It’s exciting to harness the experience and dedication of the CERES staff, and a great opportunity to undertake collaborative research that has so many potential long and short term outcomes here and in Cuba,” Professor Beilin says.
Funding of $44,000 for the project has been contributed by the Council on Australia Latin-America Relations. It comes off the back of a similar project led by Hearn and Williams that links the University of Melbourne to the University of São Paulo in Brazil, aimed at comparing and improving food sustainability strategies in Southern Hemisphere cities.

Our grazing is maintained to the highest of standards and securely fenced; the majority of which is post and rail / electric fencing. Our grazing land is actively managed by Nigel Simkin, who has a HND in Agriculture, as follows:
- fertilised every spring to ensure grass growth;
- sprayed to ensure that no rogue grasses are allowed to establish; and,
- rolled at regular intervals to flatten the ground and remove stones to reduce risk to the horses.
We also provide hay, haylage and straw bedding (where stables and grazing is provided). All of the hay and straw is grown on Ride Farm and if any extra is required, it is sourced from trusted local suppliers. This ensures a consistent standard of hay and straw: only hay and straw of the highest quality is provided and it is stored during the winter months under cover. Hay, haylage and straw is provided at regular intervals within the prices set out below.
Cost of Livery
Our livery yard tariffs are:
- grazing only - £55 per horse per calendar month; or,
- stables and grazing - £110 per horse per calendar month (including hay, haylage and straw bedding).
We are also able to provide individual paddocks for horses with injuries or illnesses. For further information please contact Nigel who will be happy to discuss your requirements and provide an indicative cost.

Coir or Coco fiber is the fibrous material found between the hard inner shell and the outer coat of a coconut, the bit you don’t eat. A mature tree can produce 50 to 100 coconuts per year. The brown coir fiber is harvested from fully ripened coconut and is about 10 to 30 cm long and is relatively water-proof and one of the few natural vegetable fibers with a natural resistance to fungus and mites makes it perfect for use as a kitchen or bathroom brush. The Coconuts are grown by small-scale farmers in Sri Lanka, who use local mills for fiber extraction which makes it an important source of income.

Practical Plant Stuff.
The lazy gardener's garden has these few things.
Automatic sprinklers and watering system, with timer.
Solid edges to all the garden beds and lawns (easy to mow, mulch etc. Use wide, treated timber or neutral coloured cement, but never, never ever, use bricks as an edging. They are a pain in the arse to maintain.)
Serviceable (read bomb proof) plants that are of the right size and shape (i.e. no Big Gums just outside the kitchen window, over the leach drain or too near power lines.)
Garden beds that are mulched (less weeding, watering and, hopefully, dying.)
Lawn areas that are properly designed (i.e. don't go under big trees etc), are regularly mowed (to the longest setting, so it grows back slower. Really, trust me) and are of the right grass type for your area.
Now for the bit's and bobs of gardening.
Do not fertilise when you first plant/re-pot your plant. Do it weeks or months later.
Use a complete fertiliser i.e. Go-Plus for roses; vegies; citrus etc. Be sure to water in very well.
Well aged chook manure can be uses to fertilise citrus once yearly. (September or February). The old straw from their bedding is all good too.
Use only native plant foods for native plants, because of the Phosphorus thing.
Lay it on 7 - 10 cm thick.
Top it up once a year.
Kill weeds that pop through with a weed wand containing glyphosphate.
Do not cut flush with the stem of the plant. This invites disease right into the heart of the plant and can kill it. Cut a centimetre or two away and any diseases should die with the stump of twig when it goes.
Wipe off and clean pruning shears, they can carry disease from plant to plant.
Prune when you want, but if done in late August (end of winter) new growths will shortly appear.
Prune after flowering to clean up the plants' appearance. This is called 'dead heading' and has nothing to do with heavy music, unless you want it to, of course.
Yes, you can prune natives, an annual snip after flowering works well.
With roses cut back to greener wood. If you try for an open basket shape it is easier to pick flowers and to prune again next time.
Pot plants are cool, they look good indoors or out. Little clusters of them on the verandah look neat, grown trees in the foyer of your house are a surprise and a talking piece.
Pot plants are good for you. Besides from the age old practice of plant talk 'therapy' some plants have medicinal properties too. They prevent 'sick room syndrome', which is where there are too many people breathing out CO2 in one tiny room. Plants absorb CO2, taking away the problem.
These pot plants are recommended to improve the air quality in a room, but any plant will do.
Some Hardy Plants to Put in Pots.
Parlour Palm (Neanthe bella).
I have personally grown for several years an Asparagus fern, that I call Ferdinand Von Fern.
My Baby wins second place
Not all pot plants will grow when you get them home! Some may not have rooted properly when propagated, some will have been exposed to chemical cleaners in store and some may have dried out in their pots without being watered for some time.
As for those cute little violets that line the checkout aisle, forget it. Especially the self watering ones. I think they must be genetically engineered to thrive in supermarkets, then die as soon as you get them home. Cactuses, you say? Uh huh, nope, sorry, no more fragile plant grows on the face of this earth. I should know, I've killed enough of them.
Nurseries are the places to go, and if the plant dies soon after arriving on your window sill, take it back and find out why. You may not be at fault at all!
Some Advice on HowNot to Kill Pot Plants (hahaha....)
Give pot plants at least 8 hours of sunlight. You can do this by rotating them outside for a short time each week onto a sunny spot on the verandah.
Big pots are easy to move for cleaning under or redecorating or taking out for a walk in the sunshine if you put them in those little wire basket things on wheels. Otherwise you risk dropping them when you move them.
Use liquid Nitrosol
Re-pot when needed.
Wipe wide leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust build-up. Dust acts like sun-screen and plants need sunlight to survive.
Carefully cut out some wire mesh (budgie wire) the size of the top of your pot. Cut a hole in it big enough to go around the pot plants trunk without touching it at all. Place the wire on top of the plant soil, peg it in place round the edges with little bits of bent wire like tent pegs, then cover it over with moss or leaf litter etc. This will hopefully prevent cats from scratching up the soil as kitty litter.
Squirt leaves with an atomiser to rejuvenate in heated rooms.
Don't spray pot plants with fly spray etc.
Beware over watering pot plants, especially succulents and cacti. Even if they start to turn yellow. Turning yellow means they are either low on fertiliser or sun shine or have been over-watered and are about to collapse into a soggy mess on your windowsill.
Knock a smoker unconscious then hang them over your pot plant by their toes to keep other smokers away, thus discouraging them from putting out their butt ends in your lovely pot plant. Or you could ask them nicely not to do it. I prefer the first method.
Pot Plant Ideas
Plant several varieties of plants in one pot.
Plant several types of herbs in a windowsill display in your kitchen (yum, fresh mint!)
Plant vegetables in pots as well, use big/deep pots. Just fertilise twice a week and keep watering well. Good for wild onions, chilli's, those tiny tomatoes etc.
Anything can be a pot plant holder, so long as it holds soil - but things that let water drain away work best. Some ideas - old shoes, half egg shells, kettles (with holes drilled in the bottom), big washed sea shells, old prams, old boats, half a car tyre, cups, cow horns etc.

May 11, 2023
From helping to conserve water to reducing food insecurity in numerous countries around the world, a steady stream of accomplishments have led to Professor Faisal Hossain being named the inaugural recipient of the 2023 UW Excellence in Global Engagement Award.
“This recognition would not have been possible without the students and colleagues across campus and around the world who collaborated unselfishly for the greater good. UW is truly the Global University of the 21st century,” Hossain says.
Newly introduced this year, the award honors one faculty or staff member annually for their leadership in global engagement. Since joining the UW in 2014, Hossain has worked to help numerous countries throughout the world effectively manage their water resources and improve crop production through the application of computer models and satellite remote sensing data.
In 2016, Hossain’s research group began partnering with the Pakistan government to overcome costly groundwater management challenges in the Indus Basin, home to 100 million people. The remote sensing-based system co-developed by Hossain’s research group enabled Pakistan’s government to produce monthly projections of its groundwater stocks and make district-level water management decisions.
Another project, which started with 700 farmers in the Indus Valley using a satellite-based text messaging system to conserve water and improve crop yield, was expanded to 10,000 farmers in 2017 and to 100,000 farmers in 2018. The success of the system in Pakistan led to a smart technology farmer irrigation solution called PANI that was deployed in India in 2018 and Hossain’s team continues to develop the system for use in Bangladesh. The Government Agricultural agency of Bangladesh has recently adopted and maintained the irrigation advisory system co-developed by Hossain’s team. In more recent years, Hossain has also co-developed solutions for reservoir management in Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Egypt and Iraq. At a more local level, he has recently engaged with tribal authorities to develop reservoir tools to improve fishery resource management for the regulated Columbia River.
“Professor Hossain has spent much of his career supporting developing nations by creating real-world water management and forecasting systems and by building the institutional capacity to use these systems successfully,” states the nomination letter.
The success of Hossain’s real-world research implementation can be traced back to a unique model he developed for working with stakeholders in other countries, which takes into account the cultural and socio-economic context. Hossain calls the training protocol the “backward-forward hybrid model for capacity building and training.” During the initial forward phase, UW researchers and graduate students disseminate research findings to foreign agencies and university stakeholders through relationship building. In the later backward phase, staff and students at stakeholder organizations are brought to the UW for immersive co-learning with the research group and to co-develop tools that can meet the needs of foreign stakeholder environments.
“So far, Professor Hossain has trained more than 10 UW graduate students and about 300 trainees from more than 10 different organizations and developing nations (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Jordan and Egypt). This training and education activity has resulted in numerous real-world societal applications led and co-developed by UW students in Hossain’s research group,” according to the nomination letter.

Looking for a remedy to cure scale which has affected our gardenia shrub and very large jade tree…
We’ve got a few options.
Most people know about Dormant Oil which works well on scale. But it’s really best for use in the winter and early spring since it can “burn” plants.
So being that its summertime, I’d recommend you don’t use dormant oil. However, you still need to spray and then second, apply a systemic.
The spray that can be used now is to be used with the intent of getting quick control of the active scale you see. And we have several options that can do the job.
The organic spray option is Multipurpose Insect Killer which uses a combination of a few very safe actives. This combo is highly effective on insect scale and because its organic, you can use it daily if needed.
Organic Insect Killer: https://www.bugspraycart.com/organic/liquid/multi-purpose-insect-killer-24-oz
The stronger spray option would a concentrate we use in the professional pest control industry known as Defense. This odorless formulation will last 2-3 weeks per application and is the “strongest” spray you can use now that won’t injure plants since its water based.
Apply either the Multipurpose Insect Killer or Defense with a good pump sprayer.
Pump Sprayer: https://www.bugspraycart.com/good/pump-sprayers
Next, treat any plant you want to keep permanently insect free with Dominion 2L. This product is a systemic which means you treat the ground and not the plant itself. Once the Dominion is applied to the soil, the active will be absorbed up into the plant via its roots and then distributed to the plants leaves, etc. Once this happens, anything that tries to eat the plant will die.
Dominion only needs to be applied once a year so its long lasting. The only drawback is that it can take 2-4 weeks to get distributed throughout the plant which is why you should first spray the active scale with either the Multipurpose Insect Killer or the Defense.
Give us a call if you still have questions or concerns. Our toll free is 1-800-877-7290.
PS: Please show your support for our business by purchasing the items we recommend from the links provided. Remember, this is the only way we can stay around and be here to answer your questions and keep our web site up and running. Thanks for your business!

Back Kuehne+Nagel sustains Ecotree France
Sustainable Development Week: Kuehne+Nagel sustains Ecotree and contributes to pollination!
30% of bees disappear each year in France. Our beekeepers have an essential role: to protect them, in particular from the Asian hornets. They also make sure they have everything they need.
This year, the very low summer temperatures, that arrived right after the end of wintering, had a huge siderable impact on the life of bees. Thus, our French beekeepers had to ensure their survival by feeding them.
Kuehne+Nagel France wanted to get involved with Ecotree by financially supporting their local actions. Thanks to that, we have helped take care of 240,000 bees in the heart of Châtelain in Pays de Loire, France.
By contributing to pollination, Kuehne+Nagel is fully committed to a responsible and sustainable approach.

Organic, free-range, grass-fed. We are becoming more familiar with these kinds of words stamped on our food packaging. We spend $1 to $5 more when we buy these types of vegetables, meats, and eggs, but those words make us feel better about our purchases. On the other hand, spending $1 to $5 less per item, makes us feel better at the check out, when our bill is lighter and our pocketbooks are heavier. For a long time these words have been just that to me, words. For the past couple of months, I’ve learned firsthand why the extra cost is attached to those words.
My husband is producing organic eggs from free-range chickens, and this natural/organic/slow food movement is Hard. Work. Its very romantic-sounding, but there’s not much that’s romantic about the process of actually moving food from the farm to the table. What does free-range mean? Right now, for Gregg, it means building chicken coops from salvaged wood and PVC piping and watching as one of the said coops falls over due to strong gusts of wind. It means setting up an electric fence and hoping the fence protects the chickens from foxes and dogs and birds of prey. It means buying or milling feed to supplement the grass that the chickens eat. During the day, the electric fence is turned off and the chicks freely move in and out of the contained area, scattering around a half acre eating more grass. Sometimes, we recently found out, neighborhood kids chase them with nets when they are outside of the fencing.
At selling time, the eggs will not have “organic” stamped on the side of the crate (he’s actually going to use recycled crates from eggs that our neighbors and friends (we do have a few!) have been saving for us), because he hasn’t been certified by the government. But they will be organic. Also, during their lifetime, the chickens all have beaks and walk around outside and eat grass. Its these conditions that will make their eggs cost more, but their eggs will also be worth more because of the nutrient-richness (made that word up) that results from their way of life. The eggs that are not free-range in the grocery store, and even some that are marked as such, come from chickens with beakless, crowded, indoor lives. Have you seen Food, Inc. or Fresh? Or read anything by Micheal Pollan? These movies and books will change your life. At least, if you can budget for the expense.
On the Eastern Shore, there are two chicken plants. I’ve seen tractor trailers drive down the highway stamped with the company names along with a picture of a sunny farm with a porch, a barn and a shining sun. Then I drive several miles up the road and see the plant with no farm or barn or porch in sight. There is however a stench and a cloud of vultures circling the plant. The plants sell chicken for their meat and not for their eggs, but egg-laying chicken plants, according to those documentaries, look similar to these meat-producing plants.
I was in the grocery store yesterday, and I was drawn toward the sack of onions that said “farm fresh.” The sack didn’t tell me where the onions were from or how they were grown or why they were only $1.30 for 3 pounds. But that “farm fresh,” like the pretty picture of the barn on the side of the truck, drew me in. I wish instead of “farm fresh” or “free-range,” there was a picture of the farmer that raised the chickens or onions or eggs. I’d like to see if he’s inside or outside and if the man in charge is wearing a suit or Carharrt overalls.

This book is based on lectures given at Kansas State University in and includes chapters by different authors on the physical and physiological aspects of water transport in the biosphere followed by in-depth considerations of individual crops (lucerne, Phaseolus vulgaris, maize, cotton, groundnut, potato, rice, sorghum, soyabean, sugarbeet, sugarcane and wheat).
Irrigation scheduling and crop water relations are interdpendent. There are many soil, plant and/or climate-based technologies.
Some of these work well in a controlled research project but fail in commercial farmer environments. Some are widely used in a specfic crop, but not others. Water Use in Crop Production will enable you enhance crop quality and quantity and save one of the earth's most important resource.
There are complex interactions between water, energy costs, labour needs, nutrient use, crop agronomy, soils, salinity and the water balance that need to be better understood.
This publication is intended to provide guidance in determining crop water requirements and their application in planning, design and operation of irrigation projects. Part presents suggested methods to derive crop water requirements.

In all cases, manuscripts must address implications and provide insight regarding agricultural water management. The primary topics that we consider are the following: • Farm-level and regional water management • Crop water relations, crop yields and water productivity • Irrigation, drainage, and salinity in cultivated areas.
This chapter defines seven different physical concepts: force, weight, work, energy, power, pressure, and heat. Units for each are given. The definitions and their units form the foundation for understanding the principles of soil and plant water relations, and they are used throughout the remainder of the book.

Several horses are living freely in the fields around the campsite. To avoid the accumulation of excrement and at the same time utilise this resource as fertilizer, we created a mobile hen house. The chicken scatter the organic matter all over the field which makes a natural fertiliser for the ground. At the same time, the hens eat all types of insects which help to prevent bug invasions. The hen house can move from field to field depending on where it is needed. During the night the chickens go inside to sleep, like in a traditional hen house.

Hi everyone! So I am really excited to be attending the 8th annual International Food Blogger Conference this weekend in Sacramento, CA.
The conference is presented by:
This is the first year I will be attending and I literally can't wait to be there and experience a great weekend. The idea is to bring together food bloggers from all around the world, hence the name, to discuss topics of food, writing, and technology.
Friday I have decided to go on an excursion, WOOHOO! It is the Farm- to- Fork Adventure through historical Sacramento Delta with California Endive and California Pear. So we will be a tour of these 2 farms. Sacramento is rich in agriculture and well being from Florida we don't have access to many different farms since our climate is very intense. On the other hand Sacramento is rich with so many varieties of farms and produce so I am very much looking forward to experiencing this.
Since technology plays a major role in our lives now follow me through the weekend on Snapchat @agolovac and Instagram @agtasteofwellbeing

Guava Growing Condition
The tree should be planted in well-drained soil where its roots have room to spread. Fertilize growing guavas every one to two months while young and then three to four times per year as the tree matures. Guava trees need a high amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, along with some magnesium for maximum fruit production. An example is a formula of 6-6-6-2, worked into soils just prior to the onset of the growing season and then evenly spaced out three times during the growth period.
Water frequently after planting and then keep mature trees moderately moist during the blooming and fruiting seasons. Once established, caring for a guava fruit tree is similar to any fruiting tree care.

Hello, my name is Kyle and this is my gardening blog. I discovered gardening after I was injured in a serious car accident. I had to take many months off work to recover and I needed to find something to fill the time. My friend suggested that some light gardening might help me. I wasn't so sure but I soon discovered that being outside and working with nature really helped my recovery. I learnt an awful lot about gardening and the equipment you need to look after plants and trees. I hope my blog inspires you to get out in the garden.
One way to get excellent value for your money is by investing in bare-root trees. While buying and planting non-potted trees can seem strange, this approach boasts tremendous success. Most bare-root trees, especially fruit trees, usually grow for several years before they're ready for the market. Thus, you will be purchasing already developed trees that will have no problem flourishing fast once replanted.
The advantages of planting bare-root fruit trees are many, but this post will focus on three primary benefits. Read on to learn more.
They Are Easier to Ship
Since bare-root fruit trees don't come potted with soil, they are lighter and easier to transport to your garden. These trees open up numerous possibilities because you'll not be limited to what your local tree nurseries have in stock. That means you can spend less shipping new fruit tree varieties from faraway nurseries.
On the contrary, container trees will cost you more during transportation. Since they come with potting soil, these trees are not dormant. However, you can only transplant bare-root fruit trees during their dormant season, so you don't require more water and lighting to keep them alive. Because of that, they are hardier than potted trees when transporting them from far distance nurseries.
Are Highly Adaptable
Another great advantage of choosing to plant bare-root trees is their remarkable adaptability. Their roots develop faster in the soil, require less maintenance during transplanting, and adapt quickly to the new environment than container trees.
Additionally, they have a quicker growth rate. Compared to large-sized potted trees, the smaller bare-root fruit trees vigorously grow after transplanting. According to PennState Extension, such trees have 200% more roots than potted trees. For this reason, bare-root fruit trees have outstanding survival rates. Instead of waiting for them to develop extensive root systems, they continue growing immediately.
They Support Earliest Planting
Generally, bare-root fruit trees are ready for transplanting in winter, which means they are always available for early planting. You can even plant them several weeks earlier than potted trees. Consequently, this offers them the opportunity to adapt to their new environment before summertime comes.
The first few weeks after transplanting fruit trees come with harsh growth conditions. From excessive heat, less moisture and snow, container trees might fail to survive such conditions. However, since bare-root fruit trees are transplanted in a dormant stage, they are less affected by harsh environmental conditions, even when planted early.
If you want to add to your tree collection in your garden, consider investing in bare-root fruit trees to save more money and enjoy the benefits discussed above.Share

The arrival of succulent Alphonso mangoes from India to the UK in April and May has become one of the seasonal treats I look forward to each year. At this time of year, Asian food shops from Tooting to Wembley are piled high with boxes of Alphonso mangoes, catering for the high demand for this most luscious of fruits. The news, therefore, that the EU is banning imports of mangoes from India from May 2014 (a decision which will apparently be reviewed by the end of 2015), came both as a surprise and a shock. The ban has been imposed for agricultural reasons, with the discovery of high level of fruit flies in Indian mangoes triggering it. The implications of the ban go far beyond whether or not I get to enjoy my favourite fruit; there will be major economic repercussions in both India and the UK.
Mr Ashok Chowdry, who in 1992 founded Fruity Fresh, importers, wholesalers and distributors of exotic fruit and vegetables, has seen the rise of Indian mango imports to the UK grow substantially. He first began importing Indian mangoes to the UK in 1978 and has witnessed a huge change in awareness of the fruit. “If you think about it when I was importing in 1978, people were not aware of a fruit called mango. They were called ‘queer gear’ not so long ago. But mangoes have come a long way; trade in them has grown to such a volume. They are now a major Indian and Pakistani fruit export.”
Because of its historic links and large Asian community, the UK is a major hub for India and Pakistan’s mango exporting trade. Indeed it has been estimated that in 2012-2013 the export value to India of fresh mango exports to the EU was USD6.8 million, with the UK accounting for over 91% of mango exports to the EU from India. Indian mangoes are enjoyed not just by the Asian community, he points out; “The amount of local people buying mangoes, enjoying them, relishing them is huge.”
The implications of the ban, declares Mr Chowdry, “are serious.” As he talks, I can hear the frustration in his voice. “It’s going to put a lot of people out of business. Airlines will go out of business. I myself import something like 20-30 tonnes of mangoes every week. when they fly from Bombay all the airlines are full of mangoes and there are plenty of flights. Growers in India will be ruined. The money they make is by exporting the mangoes, not by growing them for the local market. People prepare all year for this two and a half month business. All the import businesses like ourselves and the small shops we supply will be hit very hard.”
What Mr Chowdry is looking for rather than the abruptly imposed blanket ban is a constructive solution which addresses the fruit fly issue but allows the export mango trade to continue. He cites the example of Indian mango imports to the US, where, in response to American concerns over the fruit fly issue, the mangoes have to be treated with irradiation. “We already take steps for other countries like America and Australia. You know how strict Australian food laws are. What we want are extra procedures to be put in place, so that they become a requirement.” Other countries require vapour heat treatment of Indian mangoes before allowing them to be imported. The timing of the ban, with India’s politicians and civil servants caught up in the throes of a general election, is particularly unfortunate. Without the political will to work out a practical settlement, the ban looks likely to have serious economic consequences for businesses in both India and the UK. “This ban is going to ruin a lot of people,” says Mr Chowdry simply.
In response to the ban, Fruity Fresh have launched a petition to the British government to highlight the issue and its implications.

The South African High Commissioner to Uganda, Her Excellency Lulama Xingwana, recently addressed youth about the opportunities in agriculture during a one on one session organized by the MTN Youth Skilling Program under the theme: Business Relations for Sustainable Partnerships. Below are the excerpts.
Uganda is among the leading producers of coffee in the world, hence my surprise to discover that there is no Ugandan coffee in South Africa. I would like to believe that currently, coffee is Uganda’s best kept secret. I don’t know if you are able to sell or export it, but I think there is an opportunity for you to do more. For instance, we do not produce coffee in South Africa but we love drinking it. Therefore, there is a ripe market for coffee farmers in Uganda to take advantage of in South Africa. However, to do that, Ugandan coffee farmers must evolve beyond subsistence farming and into commercial agriculture with the ability to undertake agro-processing. Young famers must look at opportunities in agro-processing, which will help them grow their markets from local or regional to International. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables has its limitations, but selling processed fruits and vegetables is more profitable as fruit juice or tomato paste which lasts longer and can reach a bigger export market hence making your products more profitable through value addition.
I am cognizant of the challenges of limited capital that hinder farmers’ ability to scale their operations to large scale farms and the heavy capital requirement for agro-processing.
Start Small dream Big
However, it is important to remember that Rome was not built in a day. We all start small, but we must have the vision and ambition to start from small but to grow big and ultimately move to commercial agriculture and the export industry. This will greatly contribute to Uganda’s economy.
More importantly, the need to grow your business underpins the significance of building business relations for sustainable partnerships. I am aware that MTN is interested in supporting agriculture and especially agro-processing businesses. It is up to you therefore, to take up this opportunity as young farmers.
Business Relations for Sustainable Partnerships
Strong partnerships with banks, such as Stanbic, Absa and multinationals are important and can help grow your business. Donors can also assist in this regard. It is for those reasons that keeping good reports and audited financial statements is vital and will help you develop trust and confidence of your donors or partners (e.g Danida, Sida etc). Partnerships are not designed for companies only, you can also harness a relationship with individuals. The introduction of agreements such as the Africa Continental Free Trade Area has opened a 1.4 Billion market (i.e. the African population) for African Farmers. Currently, African countries predominantly export to Asia, Europe and other continents, yet trading between Africans is still at 15%. Intra-Africa trade is still very low, which presents an opportunity for harnessing sustainable partnerships among African farmers. It is up to our youth to seize this opportunity. I know that Ugandans love goats, nyama ye mbuzi. We too have lots of goats in South Africa, so Ugandans can buy goats from South Africa and we can buy your pineapples, pawpaws or coffee. This is how we can start these partnerships. Farmers in Uganda can partner with farmers in South Africa such that we import and export between our countries, thus increase Intra – Africa trade and grow the economies of our countries and the continent. Through these same partnerships, young Ugandan farmers can benchmark from South African farmers who are already working in agro-processing and have experience and equipment or machinery needed for such projects.
There is also a direct correlation between commercial agriculture and other sectors. Commercial agriculture can be the springboard for other sectors for example tourism and ICT to prosperity. Through agritourism, a concept defined as a tourism programme that covers agricultural and farming areas where tourists can see local products and often participate in farm activities, Uganda can increase the number of tourists visiting the country. A common phenomenon in South Africa, providing additional income to farmers and contributing to our economy, agritourism particularly in wine production has proved profitable to local farmers in the country and the tourism sector. In Cape Town, we have turned the grape and wine farms into great tourist destinations. People want to see where this bottle of wine from South Africa was produced. They go to Stellenbosch or Franchoek for wine tasting, they buy wine and stay there and experience lifestyle in the wine farms. Wine farms and wine tasting have contributed a great deal to tourism and to our economy. Why can’t we have coffee tasting and farm holidays in the coffee farms of Uganda? This way more people will buy and import Ugandan coffee. Therefore, I appeal to you my dear youth who have been trained in nourishing your entrepreneurial spirit to move from subsistence to commercial Agriculture.
Growth of the agriculture and tourism sectors can also directly spill into the ICT sector. There has been a proliferation of innovations in the technology space created with the aim of bridging gaps such as lack of market for agricultural produce and need for critical knowledge in agriculture. There are also vast opportunities for ICT in the tourism sector such as travel apps, links to accommodation in the country, marketing the agricultural farms and the local experience to the outside world.
It is even better now that the AU has adopted the Forth Industrial Revolution led by our President His Excellency, Cyril Ramaphosa. MTN and Multichoice are major players in this sector, and will support such projects. I also know that, as young people, you love this sector. I therefore appeal to all our youth to look into this area and develop projects that will empower young people and, create jobs in the country.

Launch of Allotment Site Design Guide
Guidance on designing an allotment published
A guide, which will assist local authorities and gardening groups design and cultivate allotment sites, has been launched.
Planning Minister Derek Mackay officially unveiled the Allotment Site Design Guide at the Scottish Allotment and Garden Society’s (SAGS) annual conference today (June 15).
The guide, designed in partnership with SAGS, will allow local authorities and individuals to make the best possible use of the land they have available for allotments through good, practical use and design.
Funding for the guide was provided by the Central Scotland Green Network and Scottish Natural Heritage.
Speak ahead of the SAGS conference in Dunblane, Planning Minister Derek Mackay said:
“Allotments and community growing spaces are often at the very heart of our communities and we recognise the range of benefits that they can bring.
“Since the publication of our National Food and Drink Policy in 2009, we have made clear our commitment to supporting the increasing number of people who want to grow their own food.
“In April we launched a public consultation to shape the future of allotment legislation. This has now closed and plans to simplify and overhaul Scotland’s allotment rules are now being considered.
“By providing guidance on how to design allotment sites we can make it easier for both the public and landowners to develop and cultivate sites.
“I hope this guide, along with the growing body of advice we have helped produce, can assist with the creation of new sites.”
Keith Geddes, Chair of the Central Scotland Green Network Partnership Board, said:
“CSGN is committed to raising awareness of the range of health, economic and environmental benefits of community gardening.
“We are delighted to have been able to help fund the Allotment Design Guide which will provide a valuable insight and helpful information for groups looking to develop new allotment sites.”
A SAGS spokesperson said:
“This is the first comprehensive guide covering all aspects of allotment site design in Scotland.
“It is an empowering tool to avoid conflict about applications for new sites and help all interested parties reach an amicable solution.”

Grain spawn can consider as "the seed" for growing mushrooms. It is made by inoculating sterilized grains with mycelium from an agar dish or liquid culture. Grain spawn can add to the substrate to grow paddy straw mushroom or propagate more mushroom cultures. Before sterilizing to kill live microbes, the process begins by cleaning, soaking overnight, cooking, and drying grains. For family cultivation, one or two spawn jars are more than enough. When it comes to a large scale of cultivation, each grain master jar can multiply more than a hundred times. Moisture content plays a vital role in fast mycelium run and reducing contamination.
Different types of grain spawn
Wheat, rye, rice, popcorn, brown rice, and wild bird seed are grains commonly used for making grain spawn. However, home growers prefer wild bird seeds for growing mushrooms since WBS is cheap and popular. You can easily find it at local pet stores.
Cleaning and soaking the grain
Rinse the grains with water four times to remove dust and undesirables and make sure the water is clear. Then soak the grain for 12-24 hours to allow the grains to absorb the water. Water soaking also helps reduce contamination since bacteria pathogens likely germinate and are killed through sterilization.
Cooking the grain
Add 1 liter of clean water, one teaspoon of Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), one tablespoon of brown sugar or molasses to 1 kg of grain. Calcium carbonate helps bring grain PH level to 7-8, at which paddy straw mycelium loves to run.
Cooking the grain to help the water penetrate through the center of grain and materials getting softer to allow faster digestion by the mycelium. Depending on the type of grains, cooking time is different. Cooking also helps wet grain dry faster.
- Popcorn: cooking time is 15 minutes.
- WBS - wild bird seed: cooking time 5 minutes.
- Wheat grain: cooking time is 1 minute.
Drain and dry the grain
- Pour the hot grain into a colander and shake well. Then spread the grains out in a thin layer over a towel or fly screen to allow the water to evaporate for 1 or 2 hours. Proper moisture content is around 40%. Before packing the grain into culture jars, make sure the grain becomes damp but not dripping wet. Grab a handful of grains for a few seconds and release, and you do not feel your hand getting wet.
- Mix 1 tablespoon of gypsum to prevent the grains from sticking together and stabilize the PH level during mycelium running.
Pack, sterilize, and inoculate the culture.
- Your grains are now ready for packing around ¾ of a mason jar, leaving ¼ on the top of each jar.
- Drill or punch a ¼ inch hole on the lid and cover with microspore tape to allow gas exchange during spawn run.
- Cover the jar lid with a piece of aluminum foil to prevent the water from spilling into your jar during pressure cooking.
- Sterilize the grain jar at 15 psi for 90 minutes in the pressure cooker.
- Let it cool naturally in the pressure cooker for a couple of hours.
- Once the grain jar cooled down to 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit, your grains rea ready to inoculate culture, either from grain spawn or liquid culture.
- For paddy spawn inoculation, open the lid and drop one or two tablespoon of spawn into the grain jar. Then shake well.
- For liquid culture inoculation, inject a paddy culture syringe evenly around 2-5 cc into the wall of the grain jar via a 1/4 inch hole. Then replace the microspore tape with the new one or poly-fil.
- For fast jar colonization, maintain temperature around 86-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Paddy straw mycelium will colonize the whole jar around 1-2 weeks. If it is not ready to use, the paddy spawn can remain viable for 2-3 months when stored at 60-70 F.
Tips to reduce contamination
- High moisture content is prone to contamination, and low moisture leads to slow colonization. Thus proper water content plays a crucial role in success.
- Use aluminum foil to cover the jar lid to prevent moisture from escaping or entering the grain jar during sterilizing.
- Always inoculate the grain jar in a sterile environment like a flow hood or still air box.
- Clean hand and working table with isopropyl 70 alcohol antiseptic.

Oh, how lucky we are to live in a world where the role of Kava in sustainable agriculture in Australia is a topic of great importance and intrigue.
As we embark on this discussion, we find ourselves captivated by the potential of Kava to revolutionize the agricultural landscape in our country. But what exactly is it about this ancient plant that has caught the attention of farmers and enthusiasts alike?
Well, my friends, let’s dive into the world of Kava and uncover the secrets it holds for a sustainable future in Australian agriculture.
- Kava has a long history and cultural significance in Australia, starting with its use by indigenous communities and continuing to be enjoyed by people from various cultural backgrounds.
- The cultivation of kava in Australia can contribute to the preservation of cultural traditions and strengthen cultural ties with Pacific Island nations.
- Kava farming practices in Australia prioritize sustainability, with a low environmental impact, biodiversity promotion, and the use of organic pest and disease control methods.
- The future of kava in Australian agriculture looks promising, with increasing demand domestically and internationally, presenting economic opportunities, and the potential for Australia to become a global leader in kava production.
History of Kava in Australia
The introduction of Kava to Australia has a rich and fascinating history that spans several decades. Kava’s presence in Australia can be traced back to its indigenous use by the Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal communities. Indigenous peoples have a long-standing tradition of using kava for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.
Kava’s introduction to Australia began with the arrival of Pacific Islander communities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These communities brought with them their cultural practices, including the cultivation and consumption of kava. Kava quickly became an important part of their social and cultural gatherings, maintaining a strong connection to their Pacific Islander heritage.
Over time, the popularity of kava expanded beyond these communities and reached a wider audience in Australia. Today, kava is enjoyed by people from various cultural backgrounds, who appreciate its calming and relaxing effects. It has become a popular alternative to alcohol in social settings, offering a non-alcoholic option for those who prefer a more mellow experience.
In recent years, there’s been a growing interest in cultivating kava locally in Australia. This has led to the establishment of kava farms, primarily in northern Australia where the climate and soil conditions are favorable for kava cultivation. These farms aim to provide a sustainable and ethically sourced kava supply, reducing the need for imports and supporting local economies.
The history of kava in Australia is a testament to its cultural significance and its ability to adapt and thrive in new environments. From its indigenous use to its integration into Australian society, kava continues to play an important role in the social fabric of the country.
Benefits of Kava for Sustainable Farming
Kava’s cultivation and utilization in sustainable farming practices offer numerous benefits to both the environment and local communities.
As a crop, kava has a low environmental impact due to its ability to grow in diverse climates and soil conditions without the need for synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. This makes it an ideal choice for sustainable farming practices, as it helps to preserve soil health and prevent water pollution.
One of the key benefits of kava for sustainable farming is its ability to improve soil quality. Kava plants have deep root systems that help to break up compacted soil and enhance its structure. This improves water infiltration and retention, reducing soil erosion and improving overall soil health. Additionally, kava plants have a high biomass production, which can be used as organic mulch or compost to further enrich the soil.
Another benefit of kava for sustainable farming is its ability to promote biodiversity. Kava plants provide a habitat for beneficial insects and pollinators, contributing to the overall ecological balance of the farm. By incorporating kava into crop rotations or intercropping systems, farmers can enhance biodiversity and reduce the risk of pest outbreaks.
In terms of community benefits, kava cultivation can provide economic opportunities for local farmers. The demand for kava is growing, both domestically and internationally, creating a market for sustainable kava products. This can help to support local economies and provide income diversification for farmers.
Kava Cultivation Practices in Australia
When it comes to kava cultivation practices in Australia, farmers prioritize sustainable methods to ensure the health of the crop and the environment. Here are some of the kava cultivation techniques and farming techniques that are commonly used:
Soil and Water Management:
Farmers in Australia employ various methods to maintain soil health and conserve water resources. These include regular soil testing to determine nutrient levels and pH balance, as well as the implementation of erosion control measures such as contour plowing and cover cropping.
Water management practices, such as drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting, are also utilized to minimize water usage and reduce environmental impact.
Organic Pest and Disease Control:
Australian kava farmers focus on using organic pest and disease control methods to minimize the use of synthetic chemicals. Beneficial insects, such as ladybugs and lacewings, are encouraged to control pests naturally. Additionally, crop rotation and companion planting techniques are employed to deter pests and promote plant health.
To ensure the sustainability of kava cultivation, farmers in Australia practice selective harvesting. This involves harvesting mature kava plants while leaving younger ones to continue growing. By only harvesting mature plants, farmers allow for the regeneration of the crop and maintain the overall health of the kava plantation.
Crop rotation is an essential technique employed by Australian kava farmers. By rotating kava with other crops, such as legumes or cover crops, farmers can break pest and disease cycles, improve soil fertility, and reduce the risk of soil erosion.
Environmental Impact of Kava Production
As kava production expands in Australia, it’s crucial to consider the environmental impact of this agricultural practice. Kava cultivation can have both positive and negative effects on biodiversity and soil erosion. Understanding these impacts is essential for sustainable kava production.
When it comes to biodiversity, kava cultivation can have both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, kava plants provide habitat and food sources for native insects and birds. This can enhance biodiversity in the surrounding areas. However, the introduction of kava plants into ecosystems can also have negative consequences. In some cases, kava cultivation has been associated with the displacement of native plant species, leading to a decrease in biodiversity. It’s important to carefully manage kava cultivation to minimize negative impacts on local ecosystems.
Soil erosion is another important consideration in kava production. The removal of vegetation for kava cultivation can increase the risk of soil erosion, especially in areas with sloping terrain. Soil erosion can lead to the loss of fertile topsoil, reducing soil productivity and increasing the risk of landslides. To mitigate soil erosion, farmers can implement conservation practices such as contour plowing, terracing, and planting cover crops. These practices help to retain soil moisture, prevent runoff, and reduce erosion.
Future of Kava in Australian Agriculture
With a growing awareness of the environmental impact of kava production in Australia, it’s imperative to explore the future of kava in Australian agriculture. As we consider the path ahead, there are several key factors that point towards a promising future for kava in Australia:
Kava’s economic impact:
The demand for kava products has been steadily increasing both domestically and internationally. This presents a significant economic opportunity for Australian farmers and the agricultural industry as a whole.
By cultivating kava, farmers can diversify their income streams and potentially increase their profitability. This can help to strengthen the resilience of the agricultural sector and contribute to the overall economic growth of Australia.
Kava’s potential in international markets:
Australia has the potential to become a global leader in kava production. With its favorable climate and fertile soil, it can produce high-quality kava that meets the international standards and demands.
As the awareness and appreciation of kava continue to grow worldwide, Australian farmers can tap into the expanding international market. This presents an opportunity to not only export kava products but also to promote Australian-grown kava as a premium brand.
As we conclude our exploration of Kava’s role in sustainable agriculture in Australia, we’re reminded of the power of ancient traditions and their ability to shape a more sustainable future.
Just as Kava has thrived in Australia, so too can our commitment to ethical practices and supporting local farmers flourish. By embracing the transformative potential of Kava, we can cultivate a future that isn’t only environmentally conscious but also preserves cultural heritage for generations to come.
Together, let’s raise a cup of Kava to sustainable agriculture in Australia.

Genetically Modified Organisms
Walking down the aisles in any given grocery store is difficult enough with ordinary considerations in mind. Meat and candy, fresh veggies and processed packaging are everywhere you look.
Shiny labels adorn everything, lit by theater style lighting (and often highlighted by theater quality lighting effects). Assaulted on every side by this visual cacophony, it can be incredibly difficult to make an intelligent choice. Heaven help you if you try to do this on an empty stomach!
In the middle of all the confusion, one pronouncement pops up again and again. ‘Made with non-GMO ingredients’. But what on earth does that mean? Why are people so frightened of these foods, when there are so many other concerns out there like refined sugar, pesticide usage, and finding the right fats for a healthy diet?
It turns out that this situation is one where a little bit of knowledge turns into a whole lot of trouble, and context makes a world of difference in the perception of what is safe and healthy to eat and what should be avoided.
GMOs and the Modern Witch Hunt
A Genetically Modified Organism, according to the World Health Organization, is a plant or animal whose ‘…DNA has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating or natural recombination.’
Creating these organisms falls under the disciplines of ‘modern biotechnology’ or ‘genetic engineering’. Through this exacting science, selected genes are transferred from one organism to another, sometimes between totally unrelated species.
Before you get images of the Whomping Willow from Harry Potter, or Blinky the Three Eyed Fish from The Simpsons, step back and look at the bigger picture and what exactly is at stake when genetic modifications are used.
Firstly, humans have been practicing forms of genetic modification practically since the beginning of cultivation and the domestication of animals. Modern corn or wheat have next to no visibly common traits with their ancestral breeds- they have been selected and grown through centuries to produce higher yields, withstand harsh environments, or deter destructive pests.
In a similar fashion, one glance at a Chihuahua tells you that it has next to nothing in common with a Saint Bernard; yet both are scientifically considered to be viable forms of Canis domesticus, and equally descended from Canis lupus, the wolf.
For thousands of years, humans have directly manipulated the outcome of innumerable generations of plants and animals- with absolutely no official scientific monitoring for quality or safety in the outcome.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) have been on the market since the mid- 1990s, starting first with a variety of herbicide- resistant soybeans. This particular crop allowed farmers to utilize a significantly smaller amount of chemical weed killer.
This resulted in less chemical pollution in the watershed, and less collateral damage in beneficial organisms like earthworms and honeybees. In another case, corn enhanced with a gene from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) developed innate resistance to two destructive pests: the corn borer and the corn earworm.
Bt corn kills 100% of the borers and ear worms that chew on it, and yet does not affect plants or soil quality in its vicinity. In this way, GM plants can be seen as the parallel to vaccinated people– much less likely to contract disease, and much less likely to need expensive secondary treatment (antibiotics for people, or pesticides for plants).
Again, by destroying all of the target insects that munch on it, Bt corn doesn’t allow for a few resistant insects to survive and breed- no pest super-bugs here.
Hey, Random Internet Voice, Who Really Monitors This Stuff?
Given the potential for disaster whenever nature is messed with, GMOs are strictly monitored, tested, and controlled by the World Health Organization under their Department of Food Safety and Zoonoses. In a stringent series of guidelines known as the Codex Alimentarius, GMO foods are assessed in the following qualitative traits:
-direct health effects (toxicity)
-specific nutritional composition vs toxic properties
-stability of inserted gene
-nutritional effects of modification
-any unintended effects.
Any GMO is also assessed with a specific eye to the problems of allergenicity, gene transfer, and outcrossing. This translates to assessment as to whether the new organism will cause greater or lesser allergic reactions, whether the new gene can be transferred to the consumer, and if the new gene will hybridize undesirably with native populations.
It is taken into account that different GMOs have genes inserted in different ways; all foods are assessed on a case by case basis. With this excruciating adherence to detail, no generic statements are possible- only specific and accurate ones.
Only those organisms with the lowest, most negligible effects on both consumers and the environment make the grade. While not being internationally binding, countries are strongly encouraged to adhere to the best practices suggested.
Working hand in hand with the WHO are the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Holding to similarly high standards of laboratory assessment and field testing, both organizations have a vested stake in the ultimate outcome of the healthiest, most nutritionally sound, and safest food products available.
Given the scrutiny from these three respected organizations, it has been shown that there is no more danger from GMOs than from those food sources developed by traditional methods over thousands of years.
Why Are We Doing This?
All genetically modified foods are done so for three reasons: Resistance to insect damage, resistance to viral infection, and herbicide tolerance. Recently, a new focus has emerged to increase the nutritional value of selected crops, though that discipline is still in its infancy.
Combine this with wise crop rotation and land usage, and the overall environmental impact of farming drops precipitously. Even more astonishing, the usage of GMO crops allows for no-till farming, which prevents soil erosion and protects earthworm populations.
Why We Are Afraid
It’s easy to fear what we do not know, it is simply human. However, curiosity is an equally human trait, and one that often makes up for the flaws of unsubstantiated fear. In this case, GMOs get a bad reputation through international news and bad timing.
The mid- 1990s were a terrifying time for UK beef farmers in the form of bovine spongiform encephalopathy: Mad Cow Disease. This was not the result of deliberate cross breeding or insertion of genes, rather it was the ugly fallout of a livestock feeding program.
Scrapie is a degenerative neurological disease that affects sheep and goats. It causes collapse of the legs among other symptoms and is ultimately fatal. When bone meal from scrapie-affected sheep was added to enrich the protein content of fodder for beef cattle, the prion (virus fragment) that causes scrapie was accidentally included.
Almost half a million infected cattle had entered the human food chain before the system was shut down, killing over 200 people. The incredible terror that was the fallout of this scandal lead to the increased interest in where our food comes from, and what is done to it before it reaches our tables.
The introduction of genetically modified soybeans and corn at the same time only lent fuel to the fire of suspicion.
Labeling, Distrust, and the Economy
Due to public outcry, all genetically modified foods in the United States are labeled as such. This is despite rigorous testing that conventional foods do not have to undergo.
With a history of distrust and a sort-of-related situation, people now more than ever want to know what goes into their food, and want to be assured of its safety. Labeling has helped with the public outcry, but is potentially damaging to those who can least afford it.
Farmers who thought to make an educated decision about environmental welfare are being punished by the perception of their sturdier, though modified crops. Despite the careful discipline used to grow them and the methods of crop rotation and environmental protection involved, people are still mistrustful.
Given the fact that the world’s population is slated to hit 9 billion people by mid-century, an attitude change is in order. Careful management of all our land and its assets is needed here in order to feed all those people- and right now, GMOs are the best looking option.

Rufus B. Hatch Memorial Grassland
This parcel of land has never been plowed. It lies in the rich agricultural area of northeast Plymouth County, and only through the diligence of the Merle Treinen family and their ancestors has this area been kept from being plowed. While the above ground plants have changed due to it's grazing history, the soils profile of this 12 acre parcel has not been disturbed.
The Merle Treinen family donated this grassland to Plymouth County in 2005 to protect it for future generations.
Located at the intersection of L22 and 140th Street.
Public hunting, following DNR guidelines, is allowed.

Things at FORRU have really been looking up. At the beginning of my internship, I was worried that we didn’t really have our place on the team. Everyone else had their projects, but my fellow American interns and I were mostly doing data entry. After bringing up my concerns, though, we were able to meet with the founder of FORRU, and as I suspected, there was a lot of work to be done! One of my fellow interns, Anna, is now taking on a project with a professor at CMU, Dakota and I are now working on a seed germination experiment, and all three of us will now be working to update FORRU’s website.
The past week has had a lot of late nights working on getting our seed germination project started. We only have two and a half weeks left, so we need to work fast. It’s been pretty difficult due to the language barrier and lack of materials. FORRU doesn’t have a dedicated lab, so we had to get creative and turned the office kitchen into our own makeshift seed lab. We had to purchase our own tables, venture out to a flower market and use what little Thai we know to buy seeds, go back and forth to too many 7/11s to get miscellaneous supplies, get interdepartmental lab supply loans, and, in a desperate hour, wander into a random lab on campus to borrow a graduated cylinder. This past Monday night we were in our lab until 11pm…blending leaves. It was actually pretty fun, and I’m so glad that we have this opportunity to experiment with FORRU (and hopefully manage to make a scientific breakthrough in three weeks).

So get sprouting!
Sprouting seeds, pulses, beans & grains is an easy & economical way of growing your own fresh food all year round.
At this time of year, in the ‘hungry gap’, when local seasonal vegetables are scarce & the choice is limited, sprouting at home is a good alternative to relying on imported fresh produce.
Sprouted seeds, pulses, beans & grains are very nutritious. You also get a tasty crop very quickly… depending on what you are growing, your sprouts will be ready in 3-8 days.
At Coachwerks Wholefoods we stock a wide range of organic seeds, pulses, beans & grains that you can sprout at home… Chickpeas, lentils, mung & aduki beans & buckwheat groats & so on. These will all produce different kinds of sprout, with different tastes & textures. For example, mung beans produce a sprout that’s great in stir fries.
We also stock a great Sprouter, that will make your adventures in sprouting even easier.
This Sprouter only costs £7.46, it’s sturdy & will last you a really long time… I’ve had mine for years!
It’s got 3 sprouting trays (so you can grow 3 different things at once if you want). These are are slated, so the water can run through & there’s a green drip tray, to catch any overflow. It comes with full instructions, alfalfa seeds to start you off & there’s a nutritional chart on the box.

Why is PDT low on eggs?
As fall sets in for the season, hens start to prepare their bodies for the winter. Much of their energy starts to be used for the production of stronger feathers to keep them warm. Another reason for the slow down in a hens egg production is a reduction in the amount of daylight hours. Hens need at least 12-14 hours of daylight to lay at their full potential.
Our great egg producers are keeping us as stocked as they can!

I previously posted this on my old blog. I decided it would be good to re-post it, as this is the time of year to save your bean seeds. I include some updated notes which are in italics.
Saving seeds is a great way to be even more economical in your garden. Every time you are able to provide something for yourself and therefore not purchase a product, you are closer to closer to self-sufficiency. It’s better for the planet, and it is just neat to watch the way the natural world works. Also, the process of selecting the beans that work best in your garden and your climate
Today, I’m going to talk about saving some seeds from Dragon Tongue Beans. They were fairly tasty, and looked rather awesome when they were growing. They were purple speckled (and had beautiful flowers.)
At the end of the bean season, I left a few beans on the vine to dry out naturally. The area isn’t the prettiest, but to me it looks like more nourishment for next year.
The unpretty patch of beans:
I pick the pods from the patch:
This is an individual pod, so you can see what it looks like all dried out:
Now, I simply split the pod open. Please excuse the dirt under my nails as I was out in the garden playing):
These were the fruits (perhaps beans?) of that single pod of labor:
Here were the beans from the rest of my labor (I love the pretty color purple!):
There were some brown beans in the pods. I removed those, as I thought they didn’t look very fertile. But what do I know. I may be wrong on this one. I may also be right. I have no brown beans. I didn’t notice whether these germinated or not, I did plant it, though. Experiment and see what works:
I stored the dried beans in an old glass baby food container and will plant them next year. This task was easy, and relatively quick and really fun. I will continue to save seeds as the sense of personal satisfaction is HUGE. I had a great harvest of beans this year. So many we couldn’t eat them all. The entire process of saving the seeds, planting the seeds that I saved, and then cooking up the beans from those plant was incredibly cool. Give it a try this year, or plan to do it next year. I think you will really enjoy the process.

Camel Spring Grazing Season in Dhofar Mountains
The villagers in the suburbs of the Governorate of Dhofar wait for the spring season (locally called Al Sirb) where the pastures are varied and full of trees and grasses grow after the rainy Khareef season. The scene of the mountains is very beautiful.
Governorate of Dhofar has mountain chains that are unique in terrain, hit by monsoon winds blowing with its rain, drizzle and gentle fog. The slopes, plains and valleys become green gardens that delight the viewers with their bright greenery.
When the spring sun shines, these trees and grasses acquire a shimmering golden color to mark the start of the camel spring grazing season (locally called Khateel al Ebil), where the camel owners in the Dhofar mountains prepare for the various rituals of the season, taking their herds to the grazing areas that were closed at the beginning of Khareef. They are shared by lovers of these rituals from different regions of the Governorate of Dhofar, who accompany the camels when they arrive for their pastures, chanting some Dhofari heritage arts, such as "Habbout" and other traditional arts.
Like other Wilayats of Dhofar, Rakhyut is celebrating this season, where camels let loose to graze in nature among these green plains. Rakhyut has the highest number of spring grazing sites in the Governorate of Dhofar, amounting to more than thirty sites, accompanied by advance preparation, including the stables for the camels, and expansion of grazing paths affected by the rain.
The ''Hijailan'' grazing site is one of the most important sites of spring grazing due to the traditional rituals, and the presence of visitors to enjoy this wonderful atmosphere, where fireplaces are lit at night, the place gets quite, and the sounds of camels rise as their teeth click while eating, sometimes a voice of chanter or singer is heard singing the sweetest melodies of Omani heritage. Camel milk is served cold to the guests, as most of them prefer like this, boiled on fire or by putting few stones on the fire and then placed in the milk pot until it boils.
The grazing period at ''Hijailan'' grazing site lasts for about a month until all the grasses and trees are dry and it becomes difficult for the camels to climb to the grazing areas where they cannot stand on these herbs, which may put them at risk of falling, leaving the area for the cows to graze on all winter.
The spring grazing season is a recreation and self-purification of the pressures of life as some employees take holidays during this season to enjoy the beautiful moments that combine wild life and nature.

Spring is just around the corner. It’s time to get our hands dirty.
Spring is fast approaching, so are you planning to grow a healthy and beautiful vegetable garden that will help beautify your home’s outdoor and be a place of relaxation?
Growing your own fruits and vegetables in the yard lets you spend more time outside, at the same time saves your money for buying organic food. So if you have the space to grow your own vegetables, you should definitely take advantage of that. Even if you only have a small space, it isn’t an obstacle anymore in your effort to build your own vegetable garden.
We live at our beautiful Lodge in Pinckney Michigan, the perfect place for my garden. We eat a lot of vegetables and fruits as we are vegetarians.
I really enjoy sunny days, the contact with the dirty, the hands preparing the soil for a new plant or vegetable.
Last year I did my garden for the first time and I find out I don’t know much about gardens. This year I am planning ahead to collect more vegetables. I noticed when you harvest them and eat right away it just seems delicious, fresh and crunchy. Taste like fresh dirty!
I had a dream of using part of our 10 acres to invite friends and neigh boors interested in garden, healthy lifestyle and organic vegetables to get together and plant a collective garden and split the products we plant.
I spread the idea on my facebook and now I am waiting for answers!
If you are interested, please contact me and lets plant!
I found those great ideas on the internet.
What about you learn how to make your own natural cleaner, spending cents? Learn Here

[A version of this blog appears in the Fall 2017 issue of WorldView magazine, published by the National Peace Corps Association.]
None of the Bolivian farmers I worked with as a natural resources volunteer ever mentioned climate change. They said the rainy season started later every year, dry seasons were dryer and dryer, there used to be more shade trees and windbreaks, there’s not as much water as there used to be, and an increase in hail storms and disease has lowered their peach crops.
Climate change is complex and it’s hard to predict its impact in the Andes.
However, we can make some assumptions: high elevations will warm to a greater degree than the global mean warming and we expect the changes in oceanic circulation, extreme meteorological events, and precipitation anomalies to severely reduce water supply. Some of these predictions have already come true: In 2009, the 18,000-year-old Chacaltaya glacier disappeared six years earlier than predicted; water levels of Lake Titicaca, which supports 2.6 million people, dropped by 2.6 feet, the lowest level since 1949; And the rainy season in the high plains has been reduced from six to three months.
Less water leads to fire-prone landscapes, destabilized slopes, and erosion. Warmer temperatures promote disease, increase stress on plants, and alter the ranges of several important crops and insects.
People in the Andes face lower food production and increased prices as climate change and its effects contribute to decreased crop species diversity, land degradation, environmental changes, and increased population pressure with its attendant poverty and internal migration. Most of the hardship will be borne by farmers with only a small plot of land.
They may not call it climate change but it does not go unnoticed there. How farmers perceive their environment is an indicator of seasonal climate variability. Communities can respond to challenges by taking specific actions such as adjusting their herd sizes, diversifying sources of income, and acquiring usage rights to higher elevation land. They can adopt new modern crops and agricultural techniques or try to recover traditional strategies. A recent study reports that those homes with significant ethnic knowledge of traditional farming practices incorporating ritual and Quechua language maintain greater diversity in their fields, planting tens of different types of potatoes, for example. This may indicate that the preservation of Andean culture could preserve genetic diversity and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Farmers in the Andes can and do pursue strategies to mitigate climate change through their own societal ethics and social structure with traditional indigenous knowledge, respect, and diversity. With our language training and sensitivity to local cultures, Peace Corps Volunteers are an integral force against climate change in the Andes. These first-hand field experiences build in us a lifelong commitment to reducing the impact of climate change worldwide.
Ellen Arnstein taught classes in solid waste management, tree biology and English and started two schoolyard nurseries and a vegetable garden while serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Camargo, Bollivia from 2007-2008. She now supervises volunteer stewardship projects for the Emerald Nature Conservancy in the parks of Boston.

The journey of coffee from bean to cup is a fascinating process that involves several stages, each contributing to the unique flavors and aromas that coffee lovers worldwide cherish. This article delves into the intricate process of coffee making, from the initial cultivation of coffee beans to the final brewing process, providing insight into what makes coffee one of the most beloved beverages around the globe.
Coffee begins its journey as a seed planted in large beds in shaded nurseries. The coffee plant, requiring a specific climate to flourish, is predominantly grown in the "Bean Belt," which encompasses regions along the equator in countries like Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Vietnam. These regions offer the ideal conditions of rainfall, altitude, and temperature for coffee plants to thrive.
After several years, the coffee plant starts to bear fruit, commonly referred to as coffee cherries. The cherries turn from green to bright red when they are ripe and ready for harvesting. The harvesting process can be done either by hand, selectively picking only the ripe cherries, or through mechanized methods that harvest all cherries at once. The method of harvesting plays a crucial role in the quality of the coffee, as mixing unripe, ripe, and overripe cherries can affect the beans' flavor.
Once harvested, the coffee cherries undergo processing to remove the fruit and expose the coffee bean inside. There are two primary methods of processing:
Dry Method: The harvested cherries are spread out in the sun to dry for several weeks, being turned regularly to prevent spoilage. Once the cherries are dried, the outer layers are mechanically removed.
Wet Method: This method involves removing the pulp of the cherry soon after harvesting, leaving the bean with a slimy coating. The beans are then fermented in water for up to two days to remove this layer, followed by rinsing and drying.
After drying, the beans are hulled, removing the parchment layer (in the wet process) or the entire dried husk (in the dry process). The beans are then polished (optional), graded, and sorted by size and weight. This stage is crucial for quality control, ensuring that only the best beans proceed to the next stage.
Roasting is where the magic happens, transforming green coffee beans into the aromatic brown beans we purchase. The roasting process involves heating the beans at high temperatures until they reach the desired roast level, ranging from light to dark. Roasting develops the beans' flavor, color, and aroma, significantly influencing the final taste of the coffee.
The roasted beans are then ground to a size that suits the brewing method. The grind size can range from coarse (ideal for French press) to fine (for espresso). The right grind size is crucial for proper extraction, ensuring that the water can absorb the coffee's flavors and aromas effectively.
Finally, the ground coffee is ready for brewing, the final step in the coffee-making process. There are various brewing methods, including drip brewing, espresso, French press, and pour-over, each offering a different taste experience. The choice of brewing method, water temperature, and brewing time all influence the final cup's flavor and strength.
The process of making coffee is an intricate dance of art and science, from the careful cultivation of coffee plants to the precise roasting and brewing techniques. Each step in the process plays a vital role in shaping the coffee's character, offering a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas. Whether enjoyed as a morning ritual, a midday pick-me-up, or a reason to gather with friends, coffee's journey from bean to cup is a testament to the dedication and passion of those who bring this beloved beverage into our lives.

Frank E. Rogers Scholarship for Agricultural Studies
The Frank E. Rogers Scholarship for Agricultural Studies was established in 2009 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of
Rogers Orchards and the legacy of Frank “Bud” Rogers, the orchard’s 6th generation owner.
The scholarship provides financial support for graduating seniors of the Carl M. Small Regional Agriculture Center of Southington High School who are pursuing a college degree in agricultural food production. Future graduates who meet the criteria will be invited to apply each spring. Students who receive the scholarship may apply for renewed funding in their second, third and fourth years if they are attending college full time and pursuing a degree in agricultural studies as it related to food production.
“Having the younger generation pursue the study of farming so that we can continue to grow food locally is important and a very worthwhile career. I was fortunate to do what I love and would like to make it a little easier for someone else to pursue an interest and a dream through this scholarship. Our success was due in no small measure to Dad’s efforts. He came back to the farm after graduating from UConn with a degree in business in 1948 and was intent on passing it on to the next generation in better shape than he found it.” John Rogers, Rogers Orchards.
To learn more about how to apply for the Rogers Scholarship, contact Candice Tabone at email@example.com or 860.229.6018, ex. 300.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Pecan growers get a high price for their crop when pecans are comparatively scarce, but the price drops sharply when pecans are abundant. Thus, in high-yield years, growers often hold back part of their crop in refrigerated warehouses for one or two years, hoping for higher prices in the future. This year’s pecan crop was the smallest in five years. It is nonetheless quite possible that a portion of this year’s crop will be held back, since ________________.
(Because of copyrights, the complete official question is not copied here. You can access the question here: GMAT Club)
Based on: 6244 sessions
Pecan growers get a high price for their crop when pecans are comparatively scarce, but the price drops sharply when pecans are abundant.
Scarce crop –> High Price
Abundant crop –> Low price
Pecan seems to follow the standard demand-supply principles.
↑ Supply –> ↓ Price
↓ Supply –> ↑ Price
Thus, in high-yield years, growers often hold back part of their crop in refrigerated warehouses for one or two years, hoping for higher prices in the future.
“high-yield years”: high supply years
In high-yield years, growers often hold back a portion of their crop.
In the hopes that they will be able to sell at higher prices in the future.
(So, I guess pecan doesn’t get spoiled in a couple of years of refrigeration)
This year’s pecan crop was the smallest in five years. – Current year’s yield was the lowest in five years.
(Doesn’t necessarily mean that the yield was low in absolute terms. Just that it was lower than in each of the previous years’.)
It is nonetheless quite possible that a portion of this year’s crop will be held back, since _________. – “nonetheless” expresses a contrast. What is the contrast?
Despite the crop being the smallest in five years, a portion of this year’s crop may still be held back.
Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
The passage mentions two contrasting ideas. On the one hand, the yield this year was the smallest in five years. Yet, on the other, a portion of this year’s crop might be held back. The word ‘since’ in the end tells us that we have to find a potential reason for why despite the lowest yield in five years, a portion of this year’s pecan crop may be held back. Basically, we’re looking for an answer choice that will help resolve this confusion.
1. Maybe the overall supply is still too high.
a. There could be pecan still stored from previous years. The growers would want to clear that first.
b. Lowest in five years could still mean a high-yield. So maybe this year’s yield is still greater than the demand.
2. Maybe the demand has shrunk. So, even though the supply reduced, the demand may have reduced more significantly.
Notice the phrase ‘quite possible’ in the last sentence. The phrase tells us that we’re looking for an answer choice that could potentially be a reason. We don’t need the correct answer choice to give us certainty.
Answer choice analysis
Answer Choice: A
Selected by: 71%
This one fits.
If the previous two years had extremely high yields of pecan (record-breaking), probably some crop is stored in refrigeration from these years. Growers would likely want to clear their old stock before selling the new one.
Also, if at least two of the last five years had record-breaking yields, I’m even more inclined to believe that the current year’s yield was perhaps not low in absolute terms – just lower.
So, If each of the last two years produced very high pecan yields, that could be a potential reason to hold back a portion of this year’s crop.
The quality of this year’s pecan yield is at-par with (or maybe even better than) the previous five years’ pecan yield.
The quality could be related to consumers’ willingness to buy.
However, I do not see a relation between holding back a portion of this year’s yield and its quality. Reject.
Answer Choice: C
Selected by: 10%
Statement: The prices of pecan have not fluctuated sharply in recent years.
1. We don’t know why the prices didn’t fluctuate.
a. It could be that the yield every year was roughly the same.
b. Or that the growers maintained the prices by storing portions of the yields, or by using pecans from storage.
2. Had the option told us that the prices have been significantly low, we could see that as a potential reason to hold back a portion of the crop this year. However, we don’t even learn whether the price levels have been low or high. The prices have not fluctuated sharply just means that the price has remained quite consistent. We don’t know at what levels.
Simply learning that there haven’t been sharp fluctuations in prices does not help us understand why a portion might be held back this year.
Answer Choice: D
Selected by: 11%
Well, we know that the overall yield was the smallest in five years. The passage deals with scarcity and abundance of pecan overall in the market, and not with yields of individual growers.
“when pecans are comparatively scarce” and “when pecans are abundant”: both these phrases deal with overall pecan supply, not with yields of individual growers. A “high-yield year” would be one when the overall supply is high.
We’re not concerned with individual growers’ yields.
Answer Choice: E
Selected by: 6%
So maybe this practice is not very old.
But, why might a portion of this year’s crop be held back despite the lowest yield in five years?
I don’t see any reason that could help explain that dichotomy.
The passage talks about storing a portion of this year’s crop as a “quite possible outcome”. We are not looking for an answer that confirms that a portion will be stored, just an answer choice that will help us understand why a portion might be stored.
Some flawed reasons I have seen to reject answer choice A:
* “The option compares the yield with previous years’. We only care about the current year.” – Essentially, the passage talks about X, the option talks about Y. Therefore, the option is wrong. That on its own is not a good enough reason to reject an answer. In this case, for example, we still need to check whether the answer choice gives a potential reason for storing a portion of this year’s yield. As it turns out, it does.
* “It uses very strong language: ‘record-breaking’. Answers choices with such extreme language are usually wrong, Therefore, this one Is wrong as well.” There is no such rule that answer choices that use strong/ extreme language are wrong. While such options could of course be wrong, there will have to be an underlying reason for why that’s the case.
If you have any doubts regarding any part of this solution, please feel free to ask in the comments section.
With over a decade of GMAT training experience, top 1 percentile scores on the CAT and GMAT, and a passion for teaching, I’d like to believe I am quite qualified to be a GMAT coach. GMAT is learnable, and I help students master the GMAT through a process-oriented approach based on logic and common sense. I offer private tutoring and live-online classroom courses.

Here at www.veggiemelean.com we like to encourage more and more people to grow some of their own food! Unfortunately, it is city dwellers who always seem to get a raw deal on the ‘dig for victory’ front, with little to no space available to grow anything worthwhile! But microgreens and sprouts (no not brussel sprouts) are the answer to your problems!
I can guarantee you, no matter where your geographical location, no matter what your knowledge, YOU can grow microgreens and sprouts in abundance with very little to no space! Literally anyone can grow them as they take up no space, no brains and no time either! What’s more is they are packed full of nutrition and punch! They are super nutrient dense and are living foods.
So what exactly are microgreens and sprouts?
There is a small difference between the two, but both tend to get banded together as one and the same.
Microgreens are seeds that are grown in soil (usually a seed tray) and allowed to grow for up to 2 weeks! The leaves and stems are consumed once the sprouted seeds have produced two to four leaves. They are simply cut at soil level when harvested.
Typical microgreens to grow are rocket, beetroot greens, parsley, basil, kale, watercress.
Sprouts on the other hand are grown in a sprouting jar (see link for what you will need to buy) with no need for compost and are rinsed twice daily in order to water the seedlings. These can be harvested (seed and sprout) within 5 or 6 days and used in a multitude of ways, from adding to veggie burgers to simple salads.
Typical seeds used for sprouts are alfalfa, mung bean, radish, broccoli, green leaf.
To grow microgreens you will need:
1. Seed tray
2. Watering spray bottle
3. Multipurpose compost
4. Seed of choice
Simply fill up your seed tray with compost (making sure there are a few drainage holes in the bottom) and sprinkle your seeds on top. Cover with a little compost and spray with water. Pop onto the windowsill and keep watered twice a day. You will start to see the microgreens shoot through within a few days!
To grow sprouts you will need:
1. Sprouting jar A Vogel Biosnacky Germinator Seed Jar with Lid (Pack of 2 Jars) (click the link for the jars you will need)
2. Seeds of choice
Soak your seeds (2 tablespoons will do) overnight in your sprouting jar and drain the morning after. Place the drained jar onto your windowsill (Best left on a 45° angle to allow for drainage and aeration) and make sure you rinse and drain the seeds in the jar every 12 hours. The sprouts will be ready to eat in 5 or 6 days!

Pineapple does not grow on a tree, but in the core of a plant measuring approximately 1 m high by 1.2 m in diameter.
In the middle of many varieties, there are two more known on the market: the cayenne and the queen or victoria.
The pineapple is a perennial herb:
the stem, with very short internodes, wears thick leaves shaped gutter, grouped in a rosette from which emerges the inflorescence. 'Eyes' populate the surface of the pineapple.
Above the fruit develops the terminal bud (Crown).
-The cayenne: the 'biggest' family and the most widespread. Flesh yellow, firm and fibrous is acid, sweet and juicy. Better to remove the core that may be hard.
-The queen or victoria: smaller, it hides under his dark yellow bark Golden, juicy, sweet and very perfumed flesh. Needless to remove the core, still tender.
The pineapple can be planted in rows or individually.
The pineapple is propagated vegetatively by releases. Indeed, after the harvest of the fruit, auxiliary buds from the stem form a rejection which will in turn a fruit.
You can cut about a month after having picked the fruit. Need to remove a few leaves at the base and let it dry in the Sun for a day or two before putting it into Earth. Harvesting takes place approximately 12 months after planting.
It is also possible to use the Crown of the fruit to have a new pineapple. He must cut it leaving about 2 cm of the fruit at the bottom and dry one or two days in the sun before Earth. Harvesting takes place after 18 months about.
Should pick up the pineapple until it is ripe. When you pluck it while it is still green, pineapple will become not sweeter as it is the case for other types of fruit. More sunlight is abundant during the growth of the fruit, more pineapple is sweet.
Climate, soil, exposure
Pineapple acclimatizes to many areas. Its water needs are about 1 200 to 1 500 mm, well distributed throughout the year. Its root system is fragile, pineapple requires land furniture, airy.

Sustainability is progressively becoming a specific requirement for food production, processing, and marketing. Internationally and nationally, consumers, society, food retailers, and food companies want to know from the global dairy industry: how sustainable is your milk produced?
When we say “sustainability”, we often immediately jump to the environmental piece of the puzzle.
The word “sustainability” is similar to “healthy” in that it can have considerably different meanings depending on who you ask. In some cases, people are talking about ecological sustainability, and other times, it’s a focus on financial sustainability. There’s also the human factor — like everyone else, farmers have to contend with their time and energy limitations.
Although dairy cattle significantly benefit the world by upcycling human inedible feedstuffs into milk and associated dairy products, it is not without potential negatives as beneficial as this process has become. Dairy cattle are a source of greenhouse gases through enteric and waste fermentation and excreting nitrogen emissions through their faeces and urine. However, these negative impacts vary widely due to how and what these animals are fed.
Green House Gasses
Dairy farms have been labeled a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. Important emissions within the farm include enteric CH4 from the animals, CH4 and N2O from manure in housing facilities during long-term storage and field application, and N2O from nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil used to produce feed crops and pasture. Farms can also reduce greenhouse gasses by applying carbon sequester methods on-farm, also enriching soil quality.
Water quality & quantity
Water can have many roles on the farm: facilitating crop growth, on-farm consumption by animals, and use in cleaning. The first sustainable objective is to minimize the water required per liter of milk production. Minimizing or eliminating the impacts from the application of fertilizer, manure, biocides, and other types of water contamination that may impact water bodies and aquafers.
Water becomes explicitly critical in the Indian context. Water scarcity affects roughly 40% of the world’s population. According to the United Nations and the World Bank predictions, drought could put up to 700 million people at risk of displacement by 2030. India faces severe water stress in specific regions with its unique location and population density.
Biodiversity impacts local and global biodiversity due to significant land use for growing dairy cattle feed. Effect mitigation would require research for developing best practices that can contribute to biodiversity. Examples of these practices are reducing biocides, research on crop variance that can be used as suitable feed, and minimizing deforestation.
Soil quality & nutrients
Enhancing soil quality concentrates on optimum crop yields combined with soil ecosystem tasks such as water management, nutrient cycling, and soil microbial and plant biodiversity. The use of no-dig and regenerative agriculture can contribute positively and enhance carbon sequestration into the soil.
Social Aspects of Sustainability
Farm sustainability: Ensuring that the farm can secure suitable and socially acceptable earnings for the operator after meeting the operation cost, be it a Household Farm, Family Farm, or Business Farm. A financially sustainable dairy farm would also ensure lower opportunity costs for the operator.
Animal welfare & health: Creating conditions to enable standard animal behavior patterns by adjusting housing and grazing application will positively impact welfare and health. The introduction of animal measurements to monitor animal welfare is an important field of research to understand welfare and discomfort better. Feet and legs, mastitis, and heat stress are essential issues requiring further improvement to increase animal welfare.
Rural economy: The dairy sector contributes to many rural communities’ economic viability and resilience and supplies nutritious food to many countries. Building more robust dairy value chains answering market needs, and ensuring safe and nutritious dairy foods are crucial goals in dairy development. Combining sustainability themes, including the optimal use of land resources, are essential to building strong international dairy chains that contribute to economic growth.
Circular production systems: A circular food system aims to optimize the use of available biomass resources in the world. One of the goals of this circular approach is to avoid the use of human-edible biomass (such as grains and pulses) as a food source for animals. This would contribute to world food security. The challenge for the dairy sector is to reconsider the position of the dairy cow in a circular food system. Future feed rations should focus more on residuals from plant products and byproducts from the food industry.
Social Acceptance: Apart from working on financial viability, the dairy sector has to work on social acceptance of the Dairy Farms. With the growth of cities, though demand has improved, dairy farms have been pushed off the city peripheries, creating a challenge for farm operators.
Farm inheritance: Farm inheritance is a big challenge for dairy farmers, specifically for household and family farms. High opportunity costs and better career opportunities may hinder farm inheritance by the next generation.
Consumer: Consumer is fundamental to the concept of sustainability. Creating sustainable farming systems would generate an immense cost for dairy farmers, and an offset will be required. Consumers’ acceptance and agreement to pay for a sustainable product is vital. Else farmers would have to completely reply to policymakers to create the offsets in the form of subsidies.
What does “sustainability” look like for dairy?
According to Deepak Raj Tushir, co-founder, Binsarfarms, sustainable milk production aims to produce milk in the most respectful manner to the resources, land, animals, and people involved. He emphasizes farms’ economic sustainability, especially in the current times when feed prices and operational costs are marred with inflation.
“Protein sources like soya and mustard cakes are an essential ingredient for the cattle feed. Currently, despite the crop season, it is not easing up on prices. There is an unprecedented increase in all the input costs,” says Deepak.
Feed: Given feed accounts for roughly 70% of costs on the farm, he suggests that farmers must optimize feed to ensure a better feed: milk ratio. “As of now, Binsar farms aims to achieve a 1:2.8 to 1:3 feed: milk ratio.”
Breed: Breed selection is crucial as it determines the number of lactations cattle can be profitable on a farm. At Binsar farm, on average, a farm-bred cow can stay for 5 to 7 lactations vs the global average of 3 to 4 lactations.
Animal Welfare: Animal is central to sustainable milk production, and hence critical care is taken for animal health and breeding. “We are aiming to breed cattle suitable for our local environmental conditions and are not much impacted by heat stress,” he adds.
Fertilization: Talking about other components of the sustainability drive, Deepak shares Binsar’s strategy of utilizing farm residues like cow dung to fertilize crops on the farms and produce vermicompost to be sold in the consumer market.
Recycling: Binsar aims to promote sustainable packing and reduce the use of single-use plastics. Glass bottles are used to deliver farm-fresh produce to the market or direct to consumers.
Quality: Special care is taken to produce milk at par with global standards. “We take special care of Bacterial load, antibiotic residues, mycotoxins in milk, and other such parameters, says Deepak”.
People: “We are not just running a Dairy farm; we are a food production unit.” Deepak proudly mentions the approach taken towards business not just to operate it as a farm but like a business. All the employees are registered for social and professional benefits.
Consumer: Consumer acceptance and his ability and willingness to pay for sustainably produced products are crucial and will determine how successful such initiatives can become. “There are consumers who are aware of the impact of sustainability and are willing to pay a premium for products that are produced sustainably, he mentions.”
We at Jordbrukare believe that 3P “People Partnership for Planet” is the way forward for ensuring sustainable development while ensuring we care for our planet without losing economic leverage.

Savory Tomato Tart is the definition of summer. When I can go out and pull a tomato off the vine and turn it into this delicious tart, I know my summer is in full swing. I have too much shade at my house to grow full-sun plants but I do manage to eke out a little space on my deck for a couple of tomato plants. Typically, I utter a few eeks when I find those giant tomato worms on my plants or nosy squirrels rooting around the vines. However, it is all worth the effort when I get to make my Savory Tomato Tart with home-grown tomatoes.
Savory Tomato Tart is Versatile
I love versatile recipes and this one fits the bill. You can make it in a pie pan or a tart pan or even individual pie pans. You can choose your favorite cheese to add to it and obviously choose your favorite tomato variety. I like Better Boy and also heirloom black tomatoes the best. Just find some juicy ones so your Savory Tomato Tart will be full of flavor.
My tastes have certainly changed since I was younger. One place I read said that we crave more sweet foods when we are younger to help provide the boundless energy we burn off. As we get older we prefer more savory dishes. Interesting theory. I’m just glad that I eat tomatoes now because I really enjoy them in many different ways.
I will leave you with a little tomato food history. The earliest tomatoes come from Peru where even today, wild varieties of tomatoes still grow. Early American colonists wouldn’t eat tomatoes due to their resemblance to the deadly nightshade plant. Finally, much later, Thomas Jefferson started growing tomatoes and including them in his cooking. By 1824 everyone was growing tomatoes and eating them. Thank you , T.J. I think you would have liked my Savory Tomato Tart.

Cameras on the farm
New Jersey is known as the garden state with its lush green farms and farm markets though out the state. In the past farmers could not view their farm markets while working in the field and could not view all of their fields at once. Thanks to today’s Security cameras and the internet that is all in the past!
Did you know cameras today are so advanced they can be Just about anywhere? Did you ever think of security cameras placed on farms and all the benefits they can have to the farmers?
Some things to think about when setting up farm security. First and foremost, let’s think what are the farm’s most sensitive, high risk areas of the farm in terms of security? Does your farm have workers in a field? Do you have the public go in your fields to pick their own produce? Does your farm have a produce stand with a cash register? Do you have a farm with live stock that you want to keep a watchful eye on? It’s a lot to think about security on such a broad piece of land that needs a vast amount of security. So when you start to look into protecting you farmland you need to make sure the company you choose knows how to how to set up a plan for your farm that will protect what matters to you.
Farm IP Security cameras befit with the following:
• Prevent break- ins
• Deter theft
• Monitor daily operations
• Employee monitoring
• Monitor farm for intruders
Cameras on the farm will help the farmers keep a look out on their field while they are in the store, at home and even see one field while they are standing in another. Once IP cameras are placed around the farm the farmer can use his IP video systems to allow the farmer to connect to the farm remotely to cameras and view and even record footage from smart phone, laptop, or tablet device. The ability to connect remotely to the surveillance system gives the owner peace of mind knowing their farm is secure.
Today having wireless internet and security cameras on your farm provides many benefits beyond just checking on your fields and stores. It’s all so a way that a farmer now can record all of the farms daily operations such as times and records of animal feedings and watering or Chemical applications to the fields. This will provide the farmer with a complete run down that can be viewed off the farms recording from its DVR or NVR.
Cameras on the Farm are now are becoming a part of everyday operations on the farm more and more. Call Central Jersey Security Cameras is fully trained in all aspects of farm camera installs Call us today and let’s get started keeping your farm protected.

Trees are found all over the world of Glitch. Grown from beans seasoned with a Bean Seasoner and planted in patches tended by a hoe, trees can grow from level 1 to level 10 through a combination of [[pet |petting]] and watering with a Watering Can. Certain trees can only be grown in certain regions; for example, Egg Plants can only be grown underground.
Trees require watering, petting and harvesting to survive. The size of harvests is dependent on the growth stage of the tree and the player's skill and XP level. Trees will occasionally bestow unexpected rewards, such as Hooch. Once a tree dies, it will give planks when chopped down using a hatchet.

Niger State governor, Mohammed Umar Bago and his Sokoto State counterpart, Ahmad Aliyu are seeking the support of the Federal Government to increase food production in their states.
The governors during their separate visits yesterday to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security in Abuja, rolled out their plans to improve food production in their various states.
Governor Bago assured Nigerians and potential investors that the state would soon top the chart in rice production. He disclosed that the state is already ahead in terms of rice padding, adding that 150,000 hectares of land had been donated to the Federal Government for the dry season farming.
On his part, Sokoto State Governor, Ahmad Aliyu highlighted insecurity as the major concern affecting farming activities in the state.
He noted that many farmers have abandoned their farmlands for fear of insecurity, leading to shortage in food production. In his remarks, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Abubakar Kyari, commended the progress made in the agricultural sector of Sokoto and Niger State.
He revealed that the Federal government is dedicated to implementing stringent measures in the forthcoming Dry and Wet Season Farming for Rice, Maize, and Cassava.
In another scene,
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security and the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) have strengthened their partnership aimed at boosting food security in the country.
The partnership was cemented yesterday through an inaugurated committee set up by both agencies to fast track the adoption of new technologies in their quest to boost food production for local consumption.
Speaking during the inauguration, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Temitope Peter Fashedemi, noted that the application of technology in the agricultural sector would guarantee the desire of the present administration of achieving food security and job creation across the country.
He pointed out that the National Agriculture Technology and Innovation is premised on 10 thematic areas, including stakeholders’ synergy, revitalisation and livestock development among others.
Responding on behalf of the committee, the Director, Federal Department of Agriculture in the Ministry, Garba Abdullahi, said the committee’s mandate is geared towards achieving food security.

The summer heat has been sweltering of late and there’s been little rain, but the weather hasn’t bothered Stacey Gray’s tomato plants one bit.
Gray’s tomato plants on Lee Street in Blackshear have grown 8-9 feet tall this summer and are producing more tomatoes than he can harvest and put up.
Gray has canned at least 20 jars of stewed tomatoes this season and his plants are still bearing fruit with no end in sight.
“I’m kind of getting tired of putting up tomatoes now. I’m eating tomatoes I put up five or six years ago,” Gray says with a laugh.
Gray ties the tomato plants lining his front walkway to old bed rails, and
they’re nearly too tall for the metal rails this year. He’s considering how to extend his stakes.
Gray, who grew up here, moved off for awhile but returned home in the ‘90s, says he’s been gardening “about all my life.”
His biggest complaint is the insects that threaten to ruin his prized plants and veggies before they ripen.
“I be in and out all day and night trying to keep the insects away from them,” Gray gripes.
Every year brings something different though — last year Gray only harvested nine tomatoes from his garden.
“Last year I did bad with tomatoes,” he says.
But, this summer his peppers and watermelons haven’t turned out at all.
Whatever the result, Gray will keep toiling away in his corner garden on Lee Street. He seems at peace among the towering tomato plants and peanut crop serving as ground cover for his front yard. He’ll harvest those this fall.

Asoflores, constituted in May 2012, is an Association of female flower- and foliage-producers, who have been dedicated to planting flowers and foliage for 6 years, but not until 2016 managed to cultivate an area of 2200 meters of anthurium, planted with resources of Ministry of Agriculture, FSKC and the organization’s own resources. In 2018 begins production the process begins for producing cut flowers-by-the-dozen to be marketed in florists in the municipalities of Tuluá and Roldanillo.
On 12th May, they took their first step towards one of the dreams proposed by the organization: to open its own retail outlet for cut flowers and flower arrangements for every occasion, made by them, in order to provide added value to their products. This process was financed with the organization’s own resources and with the support of the Regional Government of Valle, through resources received with the 2017 Vallecaucana Women’s Award.
Asoflores is located in the village of Tabor, municipality of Trujillo, where its flowers and foliage cultivation takes place . The retail outlet for the flowers and flower arrangements is located in the urban area of Trujillo.
The association of Floricultoras la Esperanza “Asoflores” is made up of 13, mostly head of the household women, who decide to join forces, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of their families. Since its constitution it has received support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Gobernación del Valle, Mayor of Trujillo and the integral assistance of the FSCK.
At present Asoflores has an anthurium plot of 2000m2, which was created at the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017 with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture, executed by the Corporación Colombia Internacional CCI, who contributed $ 25,000,000 in cash. The Smurfit Kappa Foundation contributed $ 12,000,000 in professional support (technical, social, accounting) and contribution in agricultural inputs, while Asoflores itself contributed $ 11,350,000 in wages and other payments, for a total project $ 48,350,000.
The crop began its main production process in 2018, during which a total of 205 dozens of flowers were marketed.
Asoflores is an Association of 13 women who joined forces in 2013, with the objective of establishing a flowers and foliage production. Currently, via their retail outlet in the municipal capital of Trujillo, they now also provide added value to their production, allowing them to increase the income of the organization. This process has had difficult times, due to the scarce resources of its members. These results have now been achieved through the institutional support and the effort of each one of its associates, to the point of obtaining recognition at the local and regional level. Its new challenge is the maintenance and growth of its new business, the production of floral arrangements, in order to strengthen the organization economically and to offer other services that contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of the associates and their families.

28 May British Asparagus Season
Asparagus may be available all year round, but spring is its season, so now is the best time to have some! In the UK, there is a small window when asparagus is in season, for only eight weeks to be exact, from the end of April to June, so we are right in the middle of it now.
Eating seasonally may seem like something that is hard to keep up with, considering crops such as asparagus are in season for such a short time. The benefits of adopting a seasonal diet no doubt make it worth making that extra effort and we have listed some of these benefits below.
- Good for your pocket! When you buy produce in season it is often at a better price, due to it being the time of the year when there is plenty of that crop available, so prices are kept low to get them off the shelves.
- Good for the environment. If a crop is produced in the season it is naturally meant to be then it will need less aid from chemicals. Chemicals used to fertilise crops have been known to have a negative impact on wildlife and water sources. Not only that, but it’s better for you that chemicals are not used and this brings us to our next point!
- Good for you. In season produce is good for you in two ways; number one is their taste and number two is the health benefits they have. If a crop is in season it simply means it is at its peak, so it will be the best it is going to taste all year! The fruit and veg that are in season often carry certain benefits for our bodies for that specific time of the year, for example, some winter crops are high in vitamin C which helps us fight off colds.
So, taking the time to eat seasonally is definitely worthwhile and whilst asparagus is in season it is also worth considering the health benefits of this crop, here are just a few;
- One of the benefits of this in season vegetable is that it is thought to detoxify the body and therefore it is no surprise that it has been said that asparagus can not only protect the liver against toxins but also cure hangovers!
- Consumption of asparagus can also promote healthy bacteria in the large intestine and help reduce bloating.
- Asparagus also contains essential vitamins such as K and C.
Considering its benefits and that you only have a short time to enjoy it, it is probably about time you started thinking about how you are going to work asparagus into your diet this spring.
Asparagus may only be in season for a short period, but the dishes you can create with it are endless. This asparagus season, do not let this green crunchy veg pass you by and instead make the most of it with our asparagus recipe.
Although asparagus is a super healthy food we have given it a bit of a naughty twist with our ‘Asparagus Chips’ recipe. You’ll still be getting all the benefits of eating asparagus, but you can also satisfy some of those cravings for fried food!
What You’ll Need:
20 Spears Of Asparagus
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
What You’ll Need To Do:
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7.
- Get one of the eggs and separate it, then add the white to a bowl with the other two eggs, beat and set aside.
- Now take the asparagus and remove the bottom part of the stalk, this is the thickest part and you want to remove this at the point where the stalk becomes juicy. Next, get three dishes and put the flour in one, the eggs in the second one and finely grate the parmesan and add this and the breadcrumbs into the third. To batter the asparagus, first dip in the flour, then egg then the parmesan mix.
- Add the oil to a baking tray and pop it in the oven until the oil is hot. At this point take the tray out of the oven and pop the asparagus in the tray and turn it to ensure they get even coverage of the oil. The tray is now ready to go back into the oven for 20 minutes, turning the asparagus after 10 mins and making sure they are in one layer while they cook. Remove from the oven and once they are cool enough to pick up, the asparagus chips will be ready to serve with the dip of your choice!
There it is, a naughty but nice way to enjoy asparagus this spring!
The possibilities are endless when it comes to asparagus, it can be used in so many dishes, which is why if you have been inspired by our asparagus recipe then an asparagus cooking lesson with one of our chefs would be perfect for you! You can learn whatever you like at our lessons one to one with a top chef and we will also provide the best quality ingredients. Sound like something you’d be interested in? Contact us today!

Research meetup 12 – Supporting Brazilian Smallholder Farmers to Distribute their Produce through Institutional Markets
25-01-2023 17:00 - 18:00 CET
Andrea Tuni is an Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Torino (Italy), Department of Management and Production Engineering. His research focuses on sustainable supply chain management adopting a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, looking at green supply chains, circular economy, reverse logistics, performance measurement, food supply chains, food distribution and logistics, as well as investigating applications for solidarity economy in developing countries. His research aims to tackle multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), including SDG1 – No Poverty, SDG10 – Reduced Inequalities and SDG12 - Responsible Consumption and Production.
Smallholder farmers are among the most vulnerable communities in developing countries due to poverty and social exclusion, lacking a stable income due to inconsistent access to markets. Aiming to tackle rural poverty, Brazilian government established institutional markets for smallholder farmers to supply their produce to schools through a non-competitive bidding mechanism. Participation of farmers to these institutional markets remains still limited due to challenges in the evaluation of the profitability of participating to each call of the bidding mechanism and in the planning and coordination of the distribution activities.
A decision support system (DSS) was developed to guide farmers on the different stages of the institutional markets participation, including the definition of the optimal strategies for bidding and contract acceptance, as well as the optimisation of the distribution activities through a Heterogeneous Fleet Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem, aiming to maximise the profits for farmers. The DSS was applied to the case study of Canudos settlement (Goiás state) and is progressively being embedded in Progressive Web Apps to maximise its real-life impact. The proposed approach has a significant social impact for 1.5 million vulnerable smallholder farmers in Brazil and can substantially improve their living conditions by providing security of income and reducing poverty, thus strengthening inclusive agricultural growth.

Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
Beautiful Plants For Your Interior
Fixed wing and multi-copter drones are the two types of drones used in agriculture.
Fixed-wing drones are more durable than multi-copter drones; they can resist extreme weather conditions and typically have longer flight times.
Fixed-wing drones require a big takeoff and landing space due to their design, which makes them more expensive.
Compared to fixed-wing drones, multi-copter drones are significantly more adaptable, simpler to fly, and considerably less expensive.
Multi-copter drones can be utilized for precision insecticide, fertilizer, and even seeds spraying in addition to photogrammetry because of their unique design.
For farmers and agronomists, the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral drone is an effective tool.
The multispectral sensor enables you to monitor nutrient levels, identify soil moisture, and more to learn more about the health of crops.
Farmers will be able to more precisely monitor plant growth and check crop health with the use of the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral drone.
The visible and near-infrared light, which are generally filtered out by conventional cameras that only collect red, green, and blue wavelengths, can be captured by the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral Drone.
Farmers will now be able to use this technology for activities like monitoring plant stress or recognizing insect infestations early on so they can make adjustments in the growing process accordingly. This camera is reported to provide a much sharper picture of crops.
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology is used by the DJI Phantom 4 RTK drone.
Precision farming and mapping applications are both possible with this kind of location.
The drone can fly for up to 30 minutes, has a 7-kilometer operational range, and can take 20MP photos.
It’s an excellent drone for mapping and 3D modeling farmland since it can deliver centimeter-level accuracy, which is useful for plant counting, crop height and density measurement, and crop health inspection.
Due to its numerous payload capacities and RTK system, which enables users to take incredibly detailed photos for precise maps and 3D models, the Matrice 300 RTK is appropriate for a wide range of sectors.
It boasts a sturdy construction that enables it to be flown in adverse weather situations, powerful AI capabilities, 6-directional obstacle detecting and avoidance, and an advanced health management system. It also has an industry-leading flight length of 55 minutes.
The drone is appropriate for mapping vast farms because to its extraordinarily long flight time, and thanks to its numerous payload possibilities, including those from third-party manufacturers, users will be able to take pictures for orthomosaic, thermal, and multispectral maps.
The eBee AG is one of the top fixed-wing drones created exclusively for mapping farms and is quite similar to the eBee X, which is the top all-around drone from SenseFly.
The eBee AG can go over 300 acres of land in a single flight and has a flight time of about 45 minutes.
A dual camera system consisting of an RGB and multi-spectral camera is included.
Because of its RTK mechanism, the RGB camera can produce centimeter-accurate orthomosaic maps from high-quality photos.
The visual data that multi-spectral cameras collect at various wave lengths will highlight any crop difficulties and show whether there are any pest infestation, disease, or irrigation issues.
This drone is the company’s flagship and is appropriate for a variety of industries, including agriculture because it works with a variety of cameras.
Its rugged construction makes it appropriate for usage in a variety of circumstances, and its PPK/RTK technology enables it to deliver aerial photos with survey-grade precision.
It can fly for up to 90 minutes and has a 59-minute flight period, which enables users to cover almost 500 hectares of ground.
This hybrid drone combines the greatest features of multi-copter and fixed-wing drones; it has a multi-copter-like fixed-wing design but also has VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capabilities.
One of the greatest mapping drones on the market, this drone has a 55-minute flying time and can map hundreds of acres of land with sub-centimeter precision. Here is a short sample of drones used for crop spraying.
One of the newest crop spraying drones, the DJI Agras T30, has an enormous 30 liter tank, a tough build that can withstand flying in adverse weather conditions thanks to its IP67 classification, and it can spray up to 40 acres in an hour.
It has 16 nozzles with a 9-meter spray range and an optimized plunger that can pump out 8 litters each minute.
The drone boasts an innovative spherical radar system for safer flying as well as front and back FPV cameras for better visibility.
This drone was created specifically for spraying crops.
It has a 20L capacity and a 15-minute maximum flight time (depending on the load).
It has an improved spraying mechanism, 8 nozzles, and a spray width of 7 meters. It can cover 12 hectares in an hour.
The drone can be used for fertilizing, seeding, and spraying.
It includes an advanced obstacle avoidance technology for safer flying and was designed to fly in extreme weather conditions. It can also be used during the day or night.
Farmers will be able to adjust the drone’s autonomous flight modes with centimeter-level accuracy using the RTK dongle on the remote controller and the built-in RTK technology, which allows for centimeter-level accuracy.
Similar to the T20, but with a 16-liter cargo capacity, 10 hectares of ground may be covered in an hour, RTK GNSS technology, and a sophisticated obstacle avoidance system.
There are a few additional crop-saving drones made by DJI, but they are exclusively sold by authorized resellers.
These drones are the DJI Agras MG-1P and MG-1S, which offer an obstacle avoidance system, autonomous flight modes, and a 10 liter.

Here’s the thing with corn: it’s really, really good when it’s really, really fresh. When it’s sweet and crisp and the corn kernels pop in your mouth when you bite into freshly grilled corn on the cob, slathered with avocado butter and drizzled with some flaky salt. Heaven. There’s just one problem with heaven; it apparently doesn’t always have a place in danish grocery stores – and that’s a real pity and a shame, since corn grows well in Denmark. Should I really have to go into a supermarket to pick up some fresh corn and find some (granted, all right looking) corn imported from Morocco? Understandable maybe in May when nothing much is seasonal here yet, but in August? During corn season? Corn might look like a sturdy plant and corn cobs aren’t fragile in the “don’t drop the shopping basket, there’s eggs in there” way, but once they’re picked, the clock starts ticking and the beautifully sweet milk inside each corn kernel starts converting into starch – the longer it takes to get the corn from field to market, the starchier the corn gets and a starchy ear of corn is not a good thing to sink your teeth into, no matter how much butter you put on top of it.
So, that day I tried to buy corn last week? I went to 3 different shops and came home empty handed. To my horror, I must admit that the Moroccan corn looked best of all of them, green and crisp, it had probably been refrigerated within an inch of its life on its long trip around half of the world and looked fit enough – still, I couldn’t make myself buy it. The other two offerings were danish, but looked much worse for wear, sitting out in the sun with no refrigeration at all, the husks greyish brown and broken in many places; not appealing at all, even though they ticked the “local” box (Denmark is not that big – in three and a half hours you can drive from Copenhagen to the Westcoast and stick your toesies int the sand of the endless beaches there…so, local enough), they looked so poor – due to mishandling, but still! – that I couldn’t, just couldn’t buy those, either.
My quest for corn ended the next day at a (not quite so) local greengrocer, where I bought 8 perfect, danish ears of corn with green husks and yellow silk, nice and heavy for their size and parked in the shade of an awning and I’m not frustrated anymore, just exasperated. There will be corn soup, after all. Oftentimes the best produce and certainly the best herbs, are found at smallish greengrocers, more often than not run by Iranian, Turkish or Lebanese people, which adds the happy coincidence, that I can shop there, too, for all my dried beans, rice, olives or flatbread – and there are always big bundles of cilantro, dill, parsley or mint (when it’s too darn cold for my own to grow) to be had. One of the reasons for the corn-odyssey was the fact that my local cilantro – dealer was on vacation, good for him, I’m glad he’s back.
Note: for all its simplicity and straightforward ingredients, there’s a secret weapon to making this soup: the cob itself, after it has been shaved, goes into the soup and gets boiled along with the corn kernels (and of course extracted before the soup is blended…), to give up all its milk and make the dish as corn-y as possible.

By Susan Dennin, Director of Communications
This article initially appeared in the inaugural issue of our magazine, 'Sowing Goodness.' The full issue is available here.
Pervasive drought, raging wildfires, disappearing forests, and extreme weather and temperatures seem to be our reality no matter where in the world you might live. Does our changing climate cause you to wonder what you can do? Does it seem too much for one person to make a difference? In a corner of New England, gardeners as young as three are showing us that one person, no matter how small, can make an impact.
In response to Pope Francis’ Laudato Si’ call to care for our common home, students and staff at Cuvilly Arts and Earth Center in Ipswich, Massachusetts, are taking a grass-roots focus on biodiversity and environmental sustainability. Guided by the impactful writings of Dr. Doug Tallamy, who espouses a garden for wildlife approach, this ministry of the SNDdeN is playing a part in revolutionizing the way people garden and landscape to benefit wildlife and communities. And the urgency to act now is critical.
"In the past, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water."Dr. Doug Tallamy
The data on environmental loss in the United States is sobering. According to Tallamy, we have turned 54% of the lower 48 states into a matrix of cities, suburbs, roads, airports, power and pipelines, shopping centers, golf courses, infrastructure, and isolated habitat fragments, with 41% more of the U.S. into various forms of agriculture.1
What is the consequence of turning 95% of the natural world into an otherworldly landscape? The direct impact is on the non-human species who require nature to survive. God’s vast array of creatures need food and shelter to thrive and reproduce, and we need the healthy biodiversity of these creatures great and small to ensure our ecosystems’ survival and our own. Without intervention, we could lose a significant portion of our pollinators by the middle of the century. Yes, this is a daunting challenge and one that will require dedication and a spirit of hope. To achieve results requires us to live out a commitment to the environment and systems through which we are all dependent. In the SNDdeN theme for the East-West Province this year, the Sisters committed to the call to Renew, Transform and Respond to the pressing needs of our society. There is no time to waste when it comes to caring for Mother Earth!
But you may ask, “What can I do while I wait for my local, state and federal government to make lasting changes?” Sister Patricia Rolinger, SNDdeN, Executive Director of Cuvilly Arts and Earth Center is helping to answer that question. Her team at Cuvilly is responding to a call to action that revolutionizes the way people garden and landscape to benefit wildlife and communities.
She has led the ministry that integrates agriculture and the arts for over 38 years through education and community programs. The Center inspires children and families to explore their innate creativity and connection to the earth. They encourage stewardship of our resources and strive to model ecological sustainability in a space that embraces their guiding principle that all life is sacred and the diversity of life is essential for the planet’s well-being.
“The human species is very resourceful and we should be able to share the world with all God’s creation.”Sister Patricia Rolinger
An understanding of environmental issues is critical for the survival of our planet. Children especially need to experience themselves as an integral part of the natural world. By establishing pollinator gardens with native plants, they encourage the wild bees, butterflies and other pollinators to return to the land. Small gardens have been set up by the children and they regularly tend and cultivate them. Sister Pat plans for more of the surrounding acres to be returned to their natural state, and is working with experts in native plants to shepherd the multi-year process. She hopes that the land will continue to welcome native birds, wildlife and of course, pollinators.
“The human species is very resourceful and we should be able to share the world with all God’s creation,” said Sister Pat.

Growing plants indoors is an amazing way to help save the environment, be creative, and have something beautiful in your home. Some of the best ways to do this are by having a jungle room to grow a tent.
My experience growing with a grow tent
I found a great deal online for a Jungle Room Grow Tent ,so I decided to give it a try.
The first thing I was worried about was whether or not my plants would be well-cared for in the tent. The Jungle Room Grow Tent comes with a lot of features that make sure your plants are getting the care they need..
The next question I had was how to set up the tent. The instructions were really easy to follow, and within minutes I had it up and running.
When my plants arrived, I was really happy with how they looked. The leaves on my plants were really green, and they seemed to be doing really well in the grow tent. I am glad that I decided to give the grow tent a try this year, and I am excited to continue growing my plants in it throughout
If you are looking to start growing plants indoors in a jungle-style environment, the Jungle Room Grow Tent is the perfect option for you. This grow tent provides an endless amount of room to grow plants and allows for plenty of light and airflow, making it one of the most efficient options on the market.

BEIJING -- President Xi Jinping has congratulated Chinese farmers for their first harvest festival.
Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and chairman of the Central Military Commission, sent greetings and good wishes to the country’s farmers on behalf of the CPC Central Committee ahead of the festival, which falls on Sept 23, the Autumnal Equinox of this year.
The CPC Central Committee’s decision to create the Chinese farmers’ harvest festival further demonstrates that work related to agriculture, rural areas and farmers is a top priority and holds a fundamental position, Xi noted, calling the creation of the festival "an event with profound and far-reaching influence."
"China is a large agricultural country. Priority on agriculture is the foundation and essential for the rule of the country and the people’s security," Xi said.
Chinese farmers have made great contributions throughout the country’s history, he said, noting that historic achievements and reforms have been made in agricultural and rural development over the past four decades of rural reform.
Xi Jinping called on the country’s farmers and all sectors of society to vigorously participate in the festive events and foster a good environment for the development of agriculture and rural areas as well as the wellbeing of farmers.
He also urged moves to stimulate farmers’ enthusiasm, initiative and creativity so as to fully implement the rural vitalization strategy, win the tough battle against poverty and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas.
And to protect the environment, north of China started environmental inspection this year from August. Lot's of factory had been stopped to clearance and install the environmental protection facilities.
CXMET have all the certificate and qualified equipment, so my factory no stop and processing as before. If you have any needs on the titanium email sunny please. firstname.lastname@example.org

Our Sugarcane fibre products are made from bagasse, the pulp material remaining after the extraction of the sugar-bearing juice from sugarcane. This fibre by-product can be turned into products normally made from plastic or paper and avoids the pollution from the normal burning of sugarcane pulp after juice extraction. Sugarcane is a readily renewable resource
These products have no plastic or wax coating and are a far superior alternative to polystyrene, plastic and paper products.
The sugarcane fibre products are fully compostable. These products will usually compost within 30 days in a commercial composting facility and 90 days in a home composting system.
Our preference is to carry unbleached products (a natural light brown colour) where possible and we are moving towards this as more product lines become available. However, some product lines are only available bleached (white).
• suitable for hot and cold food (not under direct flame)
• microwave safe
• complies with US FDA specifications (US FDA 21 CFR 176.170)

This farming community is able to survive in the coffee production competition by tidying up local values that are considered important in its cultivation business. The principle of trust is packaged both in spiritual meaning that someone takes action against something because there is a meaning behind the action. The meaning behind the action is to build good relations with sellers and buyers so that both are closely connected because trust has been built on a solid foundation as a value that has been internalized well in his soul. The research method with symbolic interactionism approach in qualitative research explains that researchers as actors in this research must go directly to the field to see and be directly involved both witnessing speech, behavior, farming style and respondent's gesture so that data can be obtained in the field. The results of the study show that the local value that is inherent in the lives of farmers in this area is applying the principle of trust in the act of marketing agricultural products.

Honey Corn Skincare - Bee A Keeper
Honey Corn is a boutique, artisan, 100% natural and organic skincare range which contains honey aka "liquid gold”. Informally Honey Corn was in the making from a very young age. I used to make a concoction with honey and cornmeal which is where the name Honey Corn came from. I would make my own skin formulations made from recipes passed on from my mother, which were passed on to her by her mother and her mother before her, all in a small West African village in Sierra Leone where the land provided everything the body could need.
Our aim is for Honey Corn to become connoisseurs of the best honey from right around the world and communicate in-depth knowledge of global honey from the four corners of the world to the consumer, with a view to working with co-operative beekeeping from around the world. This will be the bespoke market leading supplier of honey to your face from the bee to your body. We want to create a positive bee-story from around the globe. The global hive ensuring that the honey and beekeeping practices are ethical and sustainable.
Consumers aspire towards a positive lifestyle, one which compliments their personal ethos and which doesn't compromise on quality nor principles. Honey Corn demonstrates meaningful commitment towards sustainability. Social Environmental Corporate Responsibility As part of our ''Bee a Keeper” Campaign Honey corn is working towards establishing a network of Beekeepers across the developing world. The aim, to help the Bee population whilst enabling farmers to gain crop yields and financial stability.
Honey Corn products are gentle and effective for those with sensitive skin.Our range is hyper allergenic and perfect for those who have sensitive skin. Honey Corn is a great remedy/treatment for those who have sensitive skin, suffer from dry skin and eczema.
BEE A KEEPER
Honey Corn’s goal in the UK is to help sow the seeds of wildflowers with the goal of increasing bee numbers here. We are on a mission to plant:
Betony, Cornflower, lesser Knapweed, Marjoram, Red Clover, Vetch, Floxglove & Borage, seeds which bees just love!
This is part of our “Bee a Keeper’ Campaign, so bee sure to sow them in April or early May so that they can bloom in August and help a bee or two along the way in the summer months. Sow them under 5cm of poor soil.

Detail from CC Pierce's 1908 panorama of Eagle Rock Valley. (ERVHS)
The combined flow of Eagle Rock's underground streams during the dry season enters the Los Angeles River through the two culverts on the left. (Googlemaps)
Stormdrains under Eagle Rock Boulevard near Fair Park Avenue. (Bureau of Engineering)
FARMING IN THE LATE 1800s
The land where pioneer Eagle Rock settler Cromwell Galpin farmed was once ideal for crops: even without artificial irrigation.
The Los Angeles Times wrote about Eagle Rock, "It is surprising how long the soil here retains its moisture. We plant our vegetables after all the rains are over, and they mature and reach perfection without any irrigation... irrigation being unnecessary for anything except oranges."
Eagle Rock would not have been especially unique in this regard. Ludwig Louis Salvator wrote in 1876 of the "tablelands" of Los Angeles, that properly prepared soil could produce "nine good annual harvests out of ten, without irrigation, of castor oil beans, Indian corn, barley, alfalfa, potatoes, and various kinds of vegetables."
Galpin described how during even the particularly dry year of 1885, rain from the previous winter was still draining down from the surrounding hills; keeping his apple and apricot trees happy.
Galpin cites "lessened rainfall and better drainage" as reasons irrigation eventually became a pressing issue. As their livelihood depended increasingly on adequate access to water, farmers experimented with methods of boring wells and pumping water. This was no easy matter, and "[w]ith the change in available water, came changes in cultivation and in crops planted. Barley and oats gave way largely to garden truck and tomatoes, yielded to small fruits and berries such as strawberries."
According to www.waterfootprint.org, the average amount of water to produce these crops in cubic meters per ton is: barley (1388), oats (1597), tomatoes (184), strawberries (276).
Here's a more recent article on farming and rivers.

Posted on: Tuesday 14 April 2020
On Monday 20 April (weather permitting) Complete Weed Control (South & Central Wales) Ltd will be starting the second round of spot treating weeds on public footways and car parks using their cutting edge technology, the Weed-it, throughout the Torfaen on Council and Bron Afon Community Housing.
Using an approved herbicide, weeds are sprayed during suitable weather conditions. The technology allows the machinery to detect green growth and only spray that, rather than blanket spraying a wide area which minimises any risk to humans, pets or the environment. The chemical is absorbed and distributed throughout the whole plant which it then kills.
The weed killer is used only by trained professionals in a diluted form which is safe to use without the need for gloves and face protection, although as a precaution, operatives do wear gloves to dilute the concentrated product.
In compliance with the current Coronavirus restrictions, the work is deemed essential as part of the Council’s highway maintenance programme, and the contractor’s operatives work in isolation, managed remotely

NEWS OF HOPE
Our farmers are the backbone of our food industry and yet they remain to be the most vulnerable to natural and market forces. They are often mired in debt, squeezed for margins, and left with little profit to afford their children decent food and education. Despite the importance of their trade, they belong to the most marginalized and poorest segment of our society.
is a program that wants to empower farmers through transformative partnerships by assisting them in the critical steps of the food production chain — providing harvest inputs and training,supporting their production, administrative and logistics process, and connecting them to committed buyers.
WAYS TO HELP
to sponsor a farmer’s assistance package
WHERE YOUR HELP WILL GO
A farmer’s assistance package includes implements and inputs for
one crop cycle to cover at least half a hectare of land. This is coupled
with training, production, marketing, business management,
and logistics support for their harvest.

This is a continuation of my last post. After the pumpkin patch last week, we went to the corn field. One box is worth $10 and we can fill it as much as we wanted.
The hubby harvested more than 60 ears of corn. I think he enjoyed it, I did not like this part very much because it was getting hot during the day and we all got dirty during this event. I saw other people shucking their corn so I did it too (but not all).
RC sat on the field, she was tired. It was then that we knew it was time to go home.
Fresh corn is delicious, we had them for dinner that day.
The weekend is almost over, they come by so fast. Have a great week ahead!
Thank you for all the nice and sweet comments

Till up that garden!
I won’t lie, I didn’t till it. Mainly because my father won’t let me use his super fancyRotatiller, insisting that it sticks and only he, the king of the garden can handle it! Reality, he is afraid his baby will hurt herself on the big bad machine. But I must tip my hat to my Dad for doing it for me, he is amazing in his own quiet way. I laugh at my kids standing at the fence watching Pappa “mix up that dirt real good”
Tilling can take a couple rounds to get your garden under control, pending on the amount of weeds that have grown, and the amount of moisture in the soil. Reminder: the dryer the better when it comes to tilling or you’ll spend half your time digging mud and clogged dirt out of it. If you have large weeds you may use round up if you wish (make sure it is NOT extended life, lasts months, etc…….. you don’t want to eat it, do you?)
At my homestead, we also dug a trench to set our fence down in to minimize the amount of critters getting under it. Now all that’s left to do is get the fence down in it. With me being on 1st, and my husband on 2nd. I foresee a baby monitor on our hips and flashlights in our hands trying to get that thing in at 11:00 pm. On the bright side, we won’t have to worry about getting burnt by the moon.
Stay on Budget!
Since we are almost done getting the garden itself together, it’s time to shop! I love going to our local greenhouses and Farmers Market.
I do tend to get carried away when I walk in and there are so many beautiful flowers and tons of veggies and herbs to choose from. I will stay on budget, but it never hurts to just glance and dream. Take a list with you so you don’t forget things. For example, as I am writing this I realized I forgot summer squash. Guess the kids and I will just have to suffer and go back tomorrow. (hehehe really I didn’t do it on purpose) Hence where having a list is handy. I had a list, but it lost importance when my son wanted to try to go in the employee only section.
Flats of plants were $12.38 (12 4 packs of plants) and the few seeds I bought were only $1.14 (my green beans and my pea pods) If I had more room I’d really save and start all of my plants from seeds in mid April. I just don’t have a space to put tons of little seedlings that were safe from little fingers….I can just see the dirt covering my tiny living room floor.
Extras here and there
If you are just starting your garden, it’s a good idea to grab some garden soil to help feed your plants and help them thrive. There are many different kinds out there, but I stick with Organic Miracle Grow (it’s amazing how one extra word can make things more expensive) I try to stay organic as often as I can, I would say my kids and I lead a 70/30 organic lifestyle. But I’m not the kind of person to say “you should only have organic because it has XYZ and is blah blah blah.” I grew up not eating organic, and I’m alive and well. It really doesn’t taste different to me, but I’m sure it does to others. I’ve just become much more aware of what I put in my body and how I feed my kids. (as Mallery calls me, a “crunchy” mamma) It’s amazing how much food these days has Genetically modified organisms in it. I prefer our food to just be……well, food.
Make sure you buy garden soil, not potting soil. Unless of course you are going to plant flowers in pots, then by all means buy away!. You also can grab plant nutrients like quick start or kinds that simply attach on to your hose. While you are out shopping, think of anything else you might need for you. hose attachment to water your plants, watering can, Sun screen, bug spray, hat, gloves, etc. Keep your total number in mind when it comes time to start canning and freezing your produce. If the garden is successful you will be amazed how far this can go!
I am so excited to get out and start planting everything! I love getting down in the dirt and playing with my kids while teaching them at the same time. For any of you homeschooling families out there, think of all the possibilities of lessons in the garden! Not to mention the lessons while you can your produce later down the road. Alas! It calls for rain tomorrow!!! Here’s to hoping my garden is in the ground before Memorial weekend it over!!!!
TOTAL SPENT (So Far)
- Tomato cages $ 17.78
- plants and seeds $14.53
- Garden Soil $39.54
- Hose nozzle $.3.99
- Kids Garden Set $3.00 (I just couldn’t resist, they need tools too!)
- Off Bug Srpay $5.64
- Back Yard Fogger $4.87

21 October has become celebrated as Apple Day. Launched in 1990 by Common Ground in Covent Garden, the aspiration for this was to celebrate and demonstrate the variety that is in danger of being lost, not simply in apples, but in the richness and diversity of landscape and ecology.
Apples have been cultivated for centuries: Pliny records details of sweet and culinary apples grown by the Romans in Italy. Whilst there is evidence that apples were grown in Great Britain in the Neolithic period, it was the Romans who introduced new sweeter tasting apples. After the withdrawal of the Romans from Britain, many orchards were abandoned as the countryside was beset by raiders. It was only in the wake of the Norman Conquest that apple growing was revitalised and new varieties of apples were introduced from France. During the thirteenth century, several kinds of apples became established in Britain, often grown in orchards attached to monasteries. In the sixteenth century Richard Harris, the chief fruitier to Henry VIII, introduced a number of new grafted varieties, including the famous Pippins and developed modern-style orchards in Kent. Herefordshire orchards were augmented by the best cider apples from France by Lord Scudamore, British ambassador to France during the reign of Charles II. The more scientific cultivation of apples, however, did not occur until the late eighteenth century. Seen as the most valuable and generally cultivated of European fruits, the apple was considered by Dr Thomas Andrew Knight “not the nature produce of any soil or climate, but owes its existence to human art”. The work on pollination undertaken by Knight, who was President of the Horticultural Society of London, led to improved varieties. It was to influence the work of others gardeners throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Until the eighteenth century fruit plants had been an essential part of the landscape in gardens on large estates. However with the swing from Renaissance formality to a more “natural” look, the cultivation of fruit and vegetables was moved to the, usually, walled kitchen garden. Owners were proud of their kitchen gardens both for their layout and display and considerable effort was taken with the cultivation and development of fruit varieties.
The kitchen garden at Broadlands House in Romsey was developed in the eighteenth century and the design of it showed an appreciation of the ascetics as well as the productivity and the variety of fruit to be grown. Fruit was an essential part of the diet in a household and would be used to impress guests with unusual varieties. The Italian practice of fresh fruit at the end of a meal became the height of fashion in the nineteenth century.
The Perkins Agricultural Library at the University contains a range of books that reflect this interest in both the planning and cultivation of kitchen gardens and the craft of growing fruit trees. Guides on the development and successful propagation of fruit plants include Dr Thomas Andrew Knight’s A treatise on the culture of the apple and pear and on the manufacture of cider and perry (London, 1818); William Forsyth A treatise on the culture and management of fruit trees ( London, 1803) and Charles McIntosh The orchard (London, 1839).
In addition to practical advice provided in such works, others such as The Complete family piece provided recipes for medicinal cures and for cooking.
“To make an apple tansy
Take 3 Pippins, slice them round in thin Slices, and fry them with Butter; then beat 4 Eggs with 6 Spoonfuls of Cream and a little Rose-water, Nutmeg and Sugar and stir them together, and pour it over the Apples. Let it fry a little and then turn it with a Pye Plate. Garnish with Lemon and Sugar stewed over it.”
[Rare Books Perkins TX 151 William Thomas Smyth The complete family-piece and, country gentleman, and farmer’s best guide (1739)]
Knight’s Treatise has a manuscript note added at the end of the volume by James Corbett suggesting the best fruit to make cider:
“The fruit I should recommend for cider is the Black Norman, the Green or Brown Thorn, the Red Stier and the Wilding. If you plant these sorts, they will be all ripe together and therefore fit to grind at the same time, which is of very great importance in making cider. If you grind one fruit quite mellow and another quite green, you will find the fermenting (which spoils all ciders) not easily prevented.”
Apple Day is now an integral part of the calendar of many villages, local authorities and city markets and a focus for activities organised by a range of organisations such as the National Trust properties, Wildlife Trusts, as well as museums and galleries and horticultural societies.

This may sound silly, but Carl and I are fascinated with the fields of cotton around here, so much so that we had to take some pictures of it to share. We personally have never lived anywhere that grew cotton, and have never seen it in real-life in the fields. We didn't even realize they grew cotton in TN until we saw it here (we are in the southwestern most corner). I am especially fascinated, as I come from a farming family, and now see all these new tractors I've never seen before (geeky, I know). We did stop and feel it, by the way. It feels much like regular cotton balls you buy from the store. Imagine. :) Anyhow, here are the pictures of the crop.
How awesome is it that our favorite clothes start out looking like this? : )
This is how they apparently bale cotton. As you can tell, these are huge bricks of cotton, and there are many more not included in the photo. Cool huh? I am sure the farmer in the tractor thought I was slightly insane when I was taking this photo.
Sorry this is kind of dark and blurry. I took it from the car. It was an afterthought photo.

India’s nascent drone industry has been in recent focus particularly with its role in agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture also recently got the DGCA nod to use drones for yield estimation in 100 districts. General Aeronautics (GA) will be at the forefront of drone technology in India across applications and catalyse R&D. The company which is a specialist in Drones for precision agriculture has recently announced a Rs 65 million pre-series `A’ financing led by Mela Ventures. With this investment, the company has plans to expand its go-to market programmes and will continue to invest in the areas of high reliability and efficient spraying, operational support including training Drone Pilots. The company was started by the country’s acclaimed aircraft designer Padma Sri awardee Dr Kota Harinarayana and Abhishek Burman along with Dr Anutosh Moitra & Air Cmde P K Choudhary (Retd.). The plan is to bring the best of the aircraft design practices to the field of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems and to also provide cost-effective, reliable and efficient drone systems which will help in addressing agricultural and other societal needs.
Incubated at the Society for Innovation and Development (SID), the Entrepreneurship Cell of Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, it has developed indigenous Drone Solution with a unique spray capability. There is also a great potential to improve spray efficiency multi-folds.
Abhishek Burman, Founder Director and CEO, General Aeronautics, talks about the importance of drones in civilian roles and other related issues with Huma Siddiqui.
Following are excerpts:
What is the focus of General Aeronautics in the UAV and Drone space?
General Aeronautics’ mission is to build unmanned aerial vehicles to bring about societal change, predominantly in the areas of Agriculture, Emergency Medical Response and Defence. On the agriculture side we have indigenously built Drone based Spray technology that is efficient in controlling pests and diseases, while ensuring optimal resource utilisation. While supporting higher yields, this approach also ensures human and environmental protection. The company has also built a fixed wing drone solution to support Emergency Medical response. A big factor that causes death in road accidents is blood loss; we are working with leading emergency response providers to see if drones can provide medical intervention at the accident site through a medical airdrop, which can be used by a bystander to stop blood loss for the concerned victim.
On the defence side, GA is working with various defence labs and private organisations to provide solutions to complex aeronautical design needs; these can range from High payload UAVs to multi role combat aircrafts.
How is the Drone market in India segmented?
While drones have captured the fascination of consumers for entertainment there has been considerable interest and growth in the commercial drone market in India and globally. The market is slated to grow at a 12 per cent CAGR. In India commercial drone applications have been mainly in Defence, Surveillance and monitoring. We are seeing an increasing interest for Drone usage in the Agriculture and Medical space. These are areas which can drive significant societal impact. Agri Drones can enable sustainable farming while addressing the food shortage concerns that are looming. Similarly in the Medical space there is significant loss of life in accidents that can be addressed through a drone based medical response platform. These are exciting areas and the company is squarely in the middle of developing solutions. While COVID did shift some of the goals we set as a company, it did have a silver lining for the drone industry. COVID caused issues around labour shortage in farms and other industries. It also created concerns with security. This has helped various government authorities appreciate the importance of adopting drone based technology; this in turn should help bringing much needed regulatory changes for drone usage.
Did General Aeronautics play a role in fighting the pandemic? How did drone technology help?
COVID provided General Aeronautics with a unique opportunity to support both multiple state governments. And we took immediate action in addressing hygiene concerns in crowded areas/disease prone locations in major cities through disinfecting drones. It also worked closely with law enforcement authorities to provide drone based surveillance & broadcasting services to ensure social distancing and driving awareness among citizens in various communities.
GA also played a key role in combating recent locust menace; we had deployed multiple drones for about two months in critically affected areas in Rajasthan & UP.
How is General Aeronautics planning to address the global food security issue?
It is estimated that India will have to produce 50 million tonnes of more food in 2030 than it did in 2019, to feed 200 million more people. Indian agriculture yield is significantly lower than global benchmarks. One of the key contributors to the lower yield is poor pest and disease management, which alone contributes to about 15% ~20% crop loss annually amounting to annual loss of US$ 36 billion. This is an area that GA through its Agri Drones can make a significant dent in supporting the food needs of the country.
What are General Aeronautics’ plans with the INR 65 Million pre-series, a funding secured from Mela Ventures?
While the funding is a clear validation of the unique technology GA has built to address the Agri sector, it also confirms our ability to address the cost/performance needs of the small farmer in India. A significant part of the funding will be deployed to create a scalable go-to-market strategy and to build a reliable production ready solution.
How do you compare these with the recent procurement of drones by the Indian army?
We see the recent purchase of drones by the Indian Army a validation of the trust in indigenous drone technology. The technology is also being widely used for mapping by Survey of India. The applications have been mostly focused around Surveillance; I think time is apt for us to also focus on critical societal needs like food security and emergency medical support.
Why did Mela ventures choose General Aeronautics?
Mela Ventures felt GA’s indigenous solution based on strong internal R&D could immensely benefit all the ecosystem partners in the field of agriculture in India. The company’s successful trials with many partners demonstrated that the solutions were world-class. Mela saw the market potential to be huge as the Governments across the world are moving at speed to clear regulations for the use of drones. They see great potential in “Team GA”.

Grasslands have the capability to store carbon, functioning as an important tool in a battle against climate change. While scientific interest in grassland soil for carbon sequestration is not new, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Colorado State University have provided a fresh analysis of the existing research on soil carbon sequestration in grasslands. According to the researchers, they apply a new paradigm of soil organic matter formation to their evaluation and -- through the lens of this paradigm and with consideration for regional differences -- evaluate grassland management for carbon sequestration.
The review article was published in Science on Aug. 4.
"This is the first review which applies the new paradigm of soil organic matter formation and persistence to both discuss the effect of global changes on grasslands' soil organic carbon and estimate the potentials of soil organic carbon sequestration of global grasslands," said first author BAI Yongfei of the Institute of Botany at Chinese Academy of Sciences.
While storing carbon in grassland soil has been proven to be an attainable strategy for removing it from the atmosphere, the specifics of global grassland soil carbon sequestration -- how, where and how much -- still require more research for a deeper understanding and to form best practice recommendations, according to the researchers.
"In the past decade, there has been a paradigm shift in the understanding of the processes contributing to soil organic matter formation and persistence, which have highlighted the key role of microbial transformations and necromass on soil organic carbon accrual," Cotrufo said.
The majority of organic carbon soil is either particulate organic matter (POM), which is formed from the fragmentation of plant and microbial residues, or mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM), which is formed from single small molecules that are leached from plant residues or exuded from plant roots. MAOM contributes to longer-term carbon sequestration in soil than POM because of its strong chemical bonding to minerals and physical protection in fine aggregates. With this understanding, the researchers used the existing literature to explore how soil carbon sequestration changes with grassland types, soil properties and climate conditions.
"Our analysis presents [capacities] by different world regions and management strategies, thus facilitating policy and decision making," said BAI.
The researchers found, for example, that 80% of European grasslands are below saturation of carbon storage, indicating unmet potential in carbon sequestration. Other findings include that high levels of biodiversity are germane for carbon storage; that microbial diversity promotes the stabilization efficiency of grass litter-derived POM but reduces that of MAOM; and that carbon sequestration capacity per unit nitrogen in soil is 1.7 times greater in ecosystems dominated by ectomycorrhizal fungi–associated plants such as savannas, shrublands and forests than ecosystems dominated by arbuscularmycorrhizal fungi–associated plants such as grasslands, while MAOM is still relatively higher in the latter category of ecosystems.
The researchers also found that continuous livestock grazing reduces plant cover, diversity and productivity, and that seasonal or rotational grazing show the least negative effects and can even promote soil carbon storage.
"[We found that grassland ecosystems'] plant and microbial biodiversity and functions can be restored by improving grassland management, leading to substantial carbon removal from the atmosphere thus contributing to climate change mitigation," Cotrufo said. "Also, grassland responses are context dependent and management practices to restore their biodiversity and sequester carbon need to be implemented on the basis of their specific functionality and potential.”
Based on their review, the researchers recommend further research to collect more data on less studied regions, such as the African savannas, while also encouraging immediate action in grassland restoration and management based on available information and current understanding.
"We hope for the incentivizing of grassland restoration management programs, in particular in the regions of the world where grasslands are most degraded, to prevent their further degradation due to global changes and overgrazing and optimize their utilization as atmospheric carbon sink," BAI said.
The National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Strategic Priority Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences funded this research.

PLANT TODAY, THEN BE PATIENT FOR THE HARVEST
Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest. Psalm 126:5·6 (NLT)
The time to start planting is now. I talk to people all the time that say, “One of these days, I’m going to…” They’re going to serve more when they retire. They’re going to give more when they get a raise. Whatever it is they’re going to do more of, they’re going do it “one of these days.” But “one of these days” becomes none of these days.
Don’t wait for things to get better; start planting seeds now. Why? Because the sooner you plant, the sooner you will enjoy the harvest.
But the harvest will not come according to your timetable. There’s always a delay between sowing and reaping. You plant in one season, and harvest in another. You have to be patient and not give up! Paul teaches: Let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest (Galatians 6:9). The results will come, but they will come slowly and as part of a process.
What should you do in the meantime? Forget about last year’s crop failure. Instead, focus on the long-term harvest in your life.
What loss have you been grieving over? Maybe you’ve lost a loved one. Maybe you’ve lost your health. Maybe you’ve lost your job, or your savings, or your retirement. Maybe you’ve lost your dream. Mourning is ok; moaning is not. Instead of moaning, you need to plant a seed, because nothing grows until a seed is planted. Whatever you need more of, you need to give away. Don’t wait for “one of these days.” Today is the day to plant the seed. Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy. They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

Edamame, also referred to as sweet soybeans is small, yellow and purple. These small purple seeds are the most delicious of soybeans, and they are cultivated throughout Asia mostly in Japan. This tasty recipe originated from China and Korea. Eventually, it moved across the United States and became popular in America. Edamame is a delicious and nutritious alternative to mocha, coffee or other strong-brewed beverages.
Edamame is also known as sweet soybeans, is harvested every year and ground just before shipping. After harvest the beans have to be cleaned and placed in the pressure cooker for 2 hours. This kills germs and prevents them returning. Once in the pod the beans are soaked in water, sealed and then removed within 24 hours. This is typically used to make Edamame made of salt. But, the best method to serve Japanese food is to squeeze fresh beans out of their pods using your fingers.
On the other hand, edamame nut are often used to enhance soy sauce or to add toppings to baked items. Edamame Soy sauce made with edamame seed gives it texture and flavor while sprinkled on top of vegetables and fruits, it provides a pop of color and nutritional value. While both are great food option, there is an apparent difference between them in terms of nutritional value. Edamame seeds are great for vegans and vegetarians however, the fat and calories in soy sauce can cause them to be less healthy. You can reap the same health benefits if replace edamame with nukada which is a Japanese soy sauce made from tofu.
Both soy products are highly nutritious, which is the reason they are often referred to as “black gold” or “superfoods.” Although there may not be any differences between nukada and edamame, they are both high in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients. Black beans are highly nutritious, however they are expensive. Green soybeans are among the least expensive soy product available, but they are also very nutritious, so much that they are regarded as to be a “miracle food” by some. Nukada can be found at Asian supermarkets and farmers markets, while edamame can be found in Asian markets and on the internet. They are both high in monounsaturated fat-burning oil, protein and vitamins A, E, manganese and potassium, along with a host other B vitamins.
The reason green soybeans are considered a “miracle food” is due to the fact that they have been consumed for long periods of time as a staple food, eaten all the time by the Andinese and Japanese. Because of their flexibility, you can eat them just about anywhere , even in your car. Nukada and Edamame beans can be cooked into delicious stir-fries, cooked in onions and garlic, or simply eaten as is. If you’re planning to go for a road trip, make sure you have a container of soybean oil, a pinch of salt and a bottle of your favorite drink or juice.
You can also try traditional Chinese drinks made of honey and black beans If you haven’t yet tried roasting Edamame pods. Another popular drink is a Szechwan green soybean drink that has a slightly sweeter taste than its western counterpart, and is served in a clay pot. You simply heat up the clay pot, add water, then add a pod or two of your preferred flavor. Szechwan beans and honey are the most well-known options, however there are many other options that could be appealing to you.
Choy sum, an Asian type of soybean tea is also made with soybeans. Choy sum is usually cooked using ginger, soy sauce and a little sugar, although you can substitute anything you like with the ginger. There isn’t any discernible taste distinction between cooked edamame bean or green soybeans but the variations in texture and thickness are quite evident.
Cooking with green soybeans and shelled edamame will certainly give your family more choice in what they can consume. It can be prepared in the same way even if you don’t intend to eat it raw. If you pair it with nuts or toasted bread it’s a nutritious snack that is both low in fat and rich in fiber and protein, making it a wonderful addition to any diet. If you intend to make use of it in your cooking, remember to take your multivitamin, as with other seeds and nuts.
