According to the United Nations, the global farming community should take up the responsibility of cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The Food and Agricultural Organization released a report in which agriculture was blamed for a fifth of all the emissions. The report suggests that this ought to be reduced. In 2015, Nations adopted the UN goal of putting a stop to hunger by 2030. According to an explanation by Rob Voss, director of FAO’s Agricultural Development Economics division said that the rate at which the climate is changing is fast and so should agriculture. He was quoted saying that “We are saying that because agriculture is already very affected by the impacts of climate change, particularly the countries in the tropical zones. “Also, agriculture is contributing itself to about one fifth of the global emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases,” Mr Voss, who headed the team that produced the FAO State of Food & Agriculture 2016 report, added. “If we continue along the present pathways then we will not be able to [deliver] food security around the world and we will not be able to stabilize the climate.” Make big changes in the agricultural sector Due to the developing circumstances, he said that the sector has to make significant changes. Agriculture itself is a problem. The moment we start to shovel the ground, it means we are set to start to emit greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Considering that this affects water and land quality, changes in climate have a direct impact on us. That calls for the need to find various alternatives for shifting the focus on more sustainable footing. With the available technologies, there are usually hurdles that make it hard to do things differently. The biggest impact is usually on the small scale farmers. Some of the options to take include urbanization, changes in methods farmers use to produce goods, access to water and understanding on how we can shift to novel farming methods. Considering that climate change affects food security from any given direction, then we must all unite to fight it.

Mint plants are attractive additions to gardens with numerous culinary and medicinal uses. Easy to grow in a considerable range of conditions, mint is a good option for areas that other plants may not grow well. There are multiple ways to cultivate mint, but by growing mint from mint seeds, you can choose your mint variety and begin growing mint indoors anytime year-round. [amazon box=”B01N6OVJAP,B072JS41KG,B004VU6ISI,B01N7UQ8BR” template=”table”] What Should I Know About Mint? Mint originated in the Mediterranean but grows in many climates around the world. It grows as a hardy perennial in zones four through nine and is a great choice for those new to gardening, as it is quite easy to care for once established in a container or garden. Varieties of Mint The most commonly grown varieties of mint are spearmint and peppermint, but there are over 3,500 varieties of mint. Apple mint is a bright green mint that can reach two feet in height. This mint's leaves are covered in small hairs, which is why apple mint is sometimes called wooly mint or fuzzy mint. Apple mint makes a wonderful tea and makes a delightful, flavorful garnish for water when slightly bruised. Chocolate mint is a rich green with spiky edges and brownish tinged stems. For the best flavor in chocolate mint, grow the plant in full sun. Chocolate mint tastes sweet and has only a mild cooling and numbing effect. It has culinary uses and is often used in drinks. Ginger mint is a fast-growing mint plant with bright green leaves striped with yellow. Ginger mint is able to grow in clay soils that other plants have difficulty thriving in. Ginger mint has a faint ginger scent. It has culinary uses and can be used to make tea. It is also an excellent choice to garnish and flavor lemonade. Pennyroyal mint plants, or European pennyroyal, are bright green plants that reach up to a foot in height and spread vigorously. Their blooms range from a reddish-purple to a pale purple color. In hanging baskets, the trailing habit of pennyroyal makes for an impressive display. Pennyroyal has culinary and decorative uses. Pregnant women should avoid consuming or handling pennyroyal. Cultivation of peppermint traces back to the late 1700s in England where it was developed as a result of a cross between spearmint and watermint. Peppermint is a bright green with tooth-edged leaves that produces delicate flowers. It grows and spreads a bit more slowly than some other mint varieties, but not so slowly that growing it outside of containers or in containers with other plants is recommended. Peppermint has a clean mint flavor and a cooling effect on the mouth when eaten. Fresh peppermint from your plants can be used in cooking, used as a garnish, or used to make tea. Pineapple mint has striking variegated green and white leaves. It grows vigorously, but any non-variegated green mint that is found growing in it should be removed. These green stalks are most likely apple mint, of which pineapple mint is a cultivar. Apple mint could crowd out your pineapple mint. Pineapple mint can be a little bitter for culinary use or making tea, but it makes a stunning garnish. Spearmint is a vibrant green plant with spiky edges. These plants grow and spread quickly, and can reach heights of up to two feet. Flower spikes on spearmint plants can be up to four inches in length. This plant is only hardy to zone five, so you may want to bring spearmint grown in containers indoors if you have very cold winters. Spearmint has an intense green mint flavor with cooling properties and no sweetness. Fresh spearmint from your plants can be used in cooking, used as a garnish, or used to make tea. How to Grow Mint Seeds Though each mint variety will vary some as far as ideal growing conditions, the general process of starting mint seeds and caring for mint plants remains relatively uniform. Be certain to check for any specific requirements of the variety or varieties of mint seeds that you choose to cultivate as far as how much water and sunlight they might need. Mint seeds have a relatively low germination rate, meaning that you should expect to see fewer plants than seeds you plant. Plant at least five seeds for every mint plant you hope to grow. Because mint spreads quickly and can be propagated from cuttings as long as you can get a few mint plants established, you'll be able to grow plenty. For indoor planting for spring transplant into the garden, start mint indoors in late winter. For mint that will remain indoors, mint seeds can be started at any time of the year. The ideal germination temperatures for mint seeds are soil temperatures of sixty to eighty degrees Fahrenheit, which occurs at room temperature in many homes. To plant mint seeds, sprinkle them on top of the soil. Do not bury the mint seeds under soil as they require light in order to germinate. Mint seeds typically germinate in one and a half to two weeks. Do not attempt to transplant the mint sprouts until they have at least two sets of leaves. Mint can be planted directly into garden soil in the spring once it warms. Mint seeds can continue to be sown until two months before the first fall frost. Ideal soil temperatures for germination of mint seeds are sixty to eighty degrees Fahrenheit. Sprinkle seeds on top of worked soil. Consider using row covers until the mint has sprouted. Mint seeds typically germinate in one and a half to two weeks. Caring for Mint Seedlings Keep the soil moist for your mint seedlings and as they start to get larger, you can pinch off the terminal leaves, or the leaves growing at the very tips of stalks, to encourage more bushy growth. Caring for Established Mint Plants Indoors, mint plants require regular watering and pruning. Mint plants benefit greatly from pruning, so don't be afraid to take mint as you need it once plants are well established. Outdoors, established mint plants require little care. Prune plants as needed and pull out mint that spreads beyond the locations where it should be growing. Be alert for any mint runners that might escape containers or garden beds. Outdoors, mint benefits from a layer of mulch. Purchasing mint seeds for growing in your home or in a home garden is generally not very expensive. Depending on the variety you choose, a packet of mint seeds is likely to cost less than $10 and may cost less than $5. If you do not already have seed starting and gardening supplies, there may be some additional costs for growing mint from seed. How It Compares We picked a few common varieties of mint seeds available on the market to see how they compare. Mint Seeds Collection [amazon fields=”B01N6OVJAP” value=”thumb” image_size=”large” image_align=“center”] [amazon fields=”B01N6OVJAP” value=”button”] This collection of mint seeds includes four popular varieties of mint: peppermint, spearmint, lemon mint, and pennyroyal mint. Each packet of seeds has a full-color illustration printed on the front and planting instructions printed on the back. The seeds provided in this collection are non-GMO open-pollinated seeds. For the best germination rates, these mint seeds should be grown in the year that they are purchased or in the following year. This seed assortment includes roughly 3500 mint seeds in total. These mint seeds are packaged in an attractive, clearly labeled envelope with planting instructions printed on the back. Good success rates with germination have been reported for this product. [amazon fields=”B0818DXGL4″ value=”thumb” image_size=”large”] [amazon fields=”B0818DXGL4″ value=”button”] This mint seed collection offers four different varieties that are popular with home gardeners. The packaging offers full instructions for growing. The degree of germination success reported by those who purchased these seeds is variable. [amazon fields=”B004VU6ISI” value=”thumb” image_size=”large”] [amazon fields=”B004VU6ISI” value=”button”] This package of spearmint seeds is offered by a family-owned company based in the United States. The seeds come in a printed envelope with planting instructions. It contains 10,000 spearmint seeds. There is reasonable success reported from those who have purchased this product. [amazon fields=”B01N7UQ8BR” value=”thumb” image_size=”large”] [amazon fields=”B01N7UQ8BR” value=”button”] This package of pineapple mint seeds contains 1,000 seeds. This packet of seeds ships without printed labels. The germination rate for seeds offered by this seller is reasonably good. Mint is a fantastic plant to grow in your home or in your garden. It is easy to grow and can tolerate conditions that many plants fail to thrive in. Many varieties of mint grow well in partial shade. Some varieties of mint, like ginger mint, are suited to growing in clay soils that are challenging to plant in. Mint can be used in cooking, to make tea, and for decorative purposes. Planted along walkways where people will brush against it, mint will release its fragrance as its leaves are touched. Frequent pruning encourages a lush, bushy growth and benefits mint plants, so don't be shy about harvesting mint from established plants for use. When growing mint, because of its spreading tendency, you'll want to take care to plant in containers or pull out mint runners to prevent mint from spreading into other plants. Mint that spreads often out-competes other plants and can quickly take over a garden, but with some attention, it can be contained. Mint can be grown from seed, though the relatively low germination rate of mint will require that you plant considerably more mint seeds than you want mint plants. At least five seeds for every one sprouted plant is a good guideline. Mint germinates in temperatures between sixty and eighty degrees Fahrenheit, so it doesn't require much in the way of temperature control to start indoors. Outdoors it can be planted once soil temperatures warm. For the best results, keep your mint seeds from getting too hot or too cold, and choose where you get your mint seeds carefully. Even if you only want to grow one type of mint, choosing the Mint Seeds Collection offers enough seeds to get started at a price point not much higher than a single packet of seeds; it also has a higher reported germination rate. You could share any mint seed packets you don't use with friends and sample their mint varieties later if you're curious about them.

Reynolds Titles in Preparation Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change This book is very timely. The issues of food security and climate change are both at the top of the political agenda. The agricultural sector is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas. For instance, the potential contribution of climate change in the last decades to the expansion of cropping area to higher latitudes and altitudes has been hypothesized for a long time and suggested by many studies exploring agro-climatic indices (e.g., growing-season degree-days with a certain base temperature), but few studies have Cited by: The multiple cropping practice is essential to agriculture because it has been shown to significantly increase the grain yield and promote agricultural economic development.

Many times I have planted a garden and most of the time it kind-of works. My husband is the main push for me to develop my skills as a gardener. I know it is good to have fresh veggies, but somehow I just can't find the momentum to keep up with a garden until the end. Why is harvesting the hardest part of gardening?? I don't know when to pick anything besides the tomatoes, only because they turn red. The watermelon, squash, and melons are all really hard to read. When are they ready? We had a great crop of cantaloup last summer and one by one the ants bore into them and ate the insides out, before we even knew they were ripe. I feel so bad when this happens. Gardening is not cheep, we have been paying for water, bought the plants, or seeds, all of the soil amendments that were needed, and fertilizer through the growing season; it is not likely that any of our gardens have produced enough to make back all that we have spent. Why then do I even want to garden. Well first off, if I need to use this skill to ever feed my family I would like to have it sharp; the world is at a very unstable place and having a backup food source could be a HUGE blessing. Next, it is a outlet for my husband and I to help our kids learn how to work. This is a skill that is becoming less and less important in today society. I want to have my kids feel the thrill in having to work at something so hard, like digging in our rock hard ground, and then tilling and tending to a little plant that will someday grow to be a food they like to eat. It really is a beautiful experience to create something living and raise it to its full potential. Also I love the way a garden looks and the smell in the evening of the wet dirt is a treat to me. I know it might sound crazy but we all can find something good about having a garden. I felt that by posting my weekly ups and downs of gardening, I might keep my momentum up until harvest time. If any of you would like to join me now's the time. It is just peeking into spring and the weather in my neck of the woods is going fast on into summer. So I say grab a shovel, study the area around your home that sees sun and plant something with me.

Do Europeans need more selenium in their diet? The consumption of selenium in many European countries has significantly decreased in recent decades.Factors that contribute to this are crop engineering oriented towards obtaining higher yields and increasing the use of sulfur in fertilizers, which competes with selenium in terms of absorption by plants.The problem of declining selenium consumption is also related to the decrease in imports of enriched wheat flour from North America, which was once used to bake bread.The drop in selenium consumption in Europe requires the introduction of innovative practices to increase average daily consumption.This creates an obvious opportunity for companies to develop a wide range of food and beverages enriched with selenium.Scientific opinions from the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), public concern and increased media interest suggest that consumer awareness is likely to increase significantly in the near future. The European Union recommends daily intake of selenium at 55 μg / day, however, the recommended daily intake in the UK has been set at 75 μg / day for men and 60 μg / day for women. Consumption of selenium in Europe is poor and as long as the estimated intake ranges from 27 to 70 μg / day (38.45 μg / day on average), most Member States do not meet the European RDA (55 μg / day – Map 1).It is worth mentioning that Finland has an average consumption of 100 – 110 μg / day, respectively, which is the result of the use of agricultural fertilizers enriched with selenium. Sel-Plex as an example Sel-Plex is a natural organic selenium that has been approved by EFSA as a natural support for the proper functioning of the immune system and antioxidative functions in accordance with Art. 13.1.Selenium is one of the very few nutrients recognized by EFSA.Euromonitor International states that in 2009 antioxidant properties were the biggest asset communicated on functional foods and supplements with a market value of EUR 8.8 trillion, which is still growing.Approved health claims can be made available to food producers by adding Sel-Plex to animal feed, which translates into the production of enriched food products. The results of various studies conducted over the last few years prove that the natural enrichment of animal products (milk, eggs and meat) in Sel-Plex by supplementing the animal diet can be an effective way to increase the selenium status in humans.For example, one egg can provide at least 50% of the selenium dose recommended by the RDA.This is related to the concern for Europeans and the key image of the main direction of food development and its additional functions.The use of Sel-Plex increases the status of selenium by 25% above the state naturally occurring in meat, milk and eggs, compared to the level found in animals treated with inorganic selenium at the same dose.Sel-Plex gives you the opportunity to develop products that offer benefits, such as support for antioxidant and immune functions, as well as general health. Eggs are particularly interesting from a functional point of view because they are relatively rich in fatty acids and fat-soluble compounds.In a study conducted to check the transfer of selenium to the human body through eggs enriched with Sel-Plex, 60 volunteers consumed either two enriched or two commercially available eggs each day for eight weeks.The level of selenium in plasma increased by 48% to 12 μg / ml in people who eat enriched eggs, compared with a 12% increase in those who consumed eggs available on the market.Cholesterol in plasma remained unchanged.Supplementing the diet with a dose of organic selenium at the level of 0.2 ppm can raise more than twice the level of selenium in the egg (egg yolk and protein).In addition, this selenium is ultimately transferred to the human body with high efficiency. The selenium content in meat can be very diverse and depends on many factors.Supplementation with a highly bioavailable, organic source of selenium can sometimes go a long way to reducing variability and increasing selenium in the product.Poultry meat and pork can be naturally enriched providing 50% RDA per serving due to the supplementation of Sel-Plex animal feed.In addition, meat is a highly absorbable source of selenium.Analysis of pork meat for selenium showed that the replacement of inorganic selenium by Sel-Plex was associated with a 2-fold increase in the selenium content in raw meat (from 0.72 to 1.42 μg / g) and a 2.5-fold increase in the selenium content in boiled ham (from 0.66 to 1.73 μg / g).Table 1 shows the number of tests carried out with Sel-Plex to examine eggs, poultry and pork enriched with selenium.On average, the selenium level in meat and eggs is increased by 2 to 2.5 times in animals fed with fodder supplemented with Sel-Plex. Selenium is an important trace element, but due to the selenium deficiency in soil in Europe, the daily intake of selenium among Europeans is low.Sel-Plex is a patent protected source of organic selenium, which offers food processors the opportunity to enrich products with selenium.Sel-Plex enters the animal feed chain through fodder and, as a result, selenium levels in animal products naturally increase.The consumption of functional food, such as meat and eggs, consequently improves selenium status in humans, providing health benefits.The world must face the challenge of feeding the next two billion people by 2020. Socio-demographic trends indicate that functional food represents a balanced category in the food market, and its goal is optimal nutrition in accordance with the principle from field to fork You can read also: Selenium in thyroid diseases

A Family Tradition Since 1892 Swain Farm Fresh Beef is produced at the Swains' family farm south of Blackstock, Ontario. The Swain farm has been in operation since 1892. Scott Swain is the fourth generation on the farm. He and his wife, Nicole live on the home farm with their children Taylor and Campbell and work with Scott's parents Don and Louise in the family business. All cattle at the Swains' farm are raised on home grown corn and silage. The cattle are not given any hormones or antibiotics. Truly a family farm, the Swains not only appreciate the history of their farm, but also think about the future. They pride themselves on being good stewards of the land and producing superb beef for you and your family. They have completed two Environmental Farm Plans and make environmentally conscious decisions in their farming operation. The home farm is 220 acres and they also rent land from some neighbours to grow corn, soybeans, wheat and edible beans. There is a small maple sugar bush in the north-west corner and Don's brother, Ralph makes maple syrup each spring. As active members of the community, Don, Louise, Scott and Nicole volunteer for many groups and organizations in Durham Region. The Federation of Agriculture, Beef Farmers of Ontario, Durham Farm Fresh Marketing Association, and Durham Farm Connections are a few of the causes they support. Contact Us Directly at 905-986-0447

Autumn is a fantastic season to be in the garden, with frequent rains and plenty of sunshine for strong growth. And with potentially a little more time on our collective hands over the next little while, what better activity for the whole family to enjoy than to get some more fruit and vegetable plants in the ground. It’s times like these that being a little self sufficient really brings its rewards. Taking the next step from growing a couple of herbs in pots and a few broccoli in your veggie garden is really quite simple. All it takes is a little more time, of which we agree many of us can spare at the moment with the current activity restrictions. You don’t need to work it all out yourself either. Many people in your neighbourhood are producing their own backyard food successfully, and most would willingly share their knowledge. A lot of pride comes with growing and harvesting clean and nutritious fruit and vegetables. And if the face-to-face contact guidelines get stricter, of course there’s always the phone or unlimited resources on-line! So if you are going to expand the range of fruit and vegetables in your edible garden, where should you start? Generally the criteria that we look at is: can I purchase it readily, cheaply and/or locally; is it going to provide a valuable source of nutrition; and how hard is it to grow? These questions become more important if you have limited growing space. For example, growing a few kale plants would be more prudent than growing onions. Yes they are very different crops, but fresh kale is not cheap, is very nutritious, and easy to grow. Onions are quite the opposite. So, you might prioritise that space in your garden to kale. Following our criteria, for April/May plantings you may want to consider beetroot, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, snow peas, broad beans, garlic, silverbeet, celery, spinach and radish. You can also plant all your salad greens; lettuces, Asian greens, rocquette, spring onions and leek. And more herbs! Most of us will have space for at least a couple of large pots to grow a lemon and orange tree. Others may have room to grow many more fruit trees, but instead our yard is consumed with little used lawn and unnecessarily wasted space. Growing fruit trees is not difficult and incredibly rewarding. There are many difficult to find, highly nutritious and easy to grow fruits that you can grow outside your back door. Well worth a go. Preserving excess harvests is another self-sufficient activity that is taking on a new relevance. And a most rewarding way to spend surplus time. We may not be able to go to the local [insert activity here] on the weekend, but we can make delicious condiments and bottle or freeze abundant fruit and vegetables. And if the idea of preserving doesn’t tickle your fancy, there are others in our community that are likely struggling a little at the moment. If your family is healthy, consider sharing with your neighbours or groups like the Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre (SPCSIC). Take care of yourselves and others…and happy gardening.

Published: May 1, 2020 | Updated: May 1, 2020 Now that’s a blooming good idea! Grow Some Sunshine set to raise funds for our NHS heroes A brilliant idea by one of the nation’s favourite gardeners – and Dorset resident – has germinated into a full-blown national campaign which looks set to raise tens of thousands of pounds for our NHS heroes. David Hurrion, a regular radio contributor and Associate Editor of BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine, is the driving force behind Grow Some Sunshine. The Crowdfunder campaign allows everyone to nurture and grow a nationwide crop of sunflowers this summer in recognition of the huge effort made by the NHS and essential workers. All proceeds are going to the NHS Charities Together Covid-19 Urgent Appeal, which supports NHS frontline staff and volunteers caring for Covid-19 patients in hospitals around the UK. The 56-year-old gardening journalist and horticultural consultant, who lives in Sturminster Newton, is working with Fran Suermondt of Rabbit Attack PR on Grow Some Sunshine. Seed company Burpee Europe has generously donated 80,000 seeds of the giant variety sunflower ‘Pike’s Peak’. It can grow up to 14 feet tall with the golden yellow flowers measuring 35 cms across. Anyone donating a minimum £5 will receive eight sunflower seeds for sowing and growing in a prominent place where everyone can see them. Advice on how to sow the seeds, as well as follow-ups about aftercare, planting out the sunflowers and achieving future success can be seen on YouTube videos. Everyone taking part is being encouraged to join a dedicated Facebook page to post their growing stories and sunflower photos. They’ll also be able to see who grows the tallest and biggest flowers. Grow Some Sunshine was launched last week and is already more than £1,600 of the way to an initial £40,000 target. David, who started gardening as a child and has been growing plants for more than 40 years, said: “I want to make the nation smile. “It’s all about getting children, parents and grandparents, as well as friends, neighbours and whole communities to nurture and grow a nationwide crop of sunflowers this summer. “The sunflowers will be recognition of the huge effort made by the NHS and essential workers, a beacon of hope for the end of the pandemic and to make the country smile as well as raise much-needed funds for charity. “Later in the year there will be a crop of huge sunflower seed heads right across the UK that will help our garden birds and wildlife through the winter.” David, whose partner, Steve Taylor, owns Fab Frocks in Westbourne, said the nationwide lockdown had led to a renewed interest in gardening with a 500 per cent increase in the number of enquiries to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). “The start of National Gardening Week – from April 27 to May 3 – which is run by the RHS is a perfect opportunity for people to join in Grow Some Sunshine. “I hope businesses, as well as individuals, get involved. They could spread it to their furloughed staff as well. “Our target is £40,000 but with 80,000 seeds who knows we could end up raising even more for our wonderful NHS frontline staff and key workers,” said David.

I've only sewn a few seeds of each as they need to be moveable. I've also potted on the few tomato plants I'd previously started before I knew if we'd have a garden at the next place, or not. I also planted four potato tubers I'd kept back from some potatoes we bought at an honesty booth by the side of the road, in two biggish pots - they had chitted and needed planting and I wasn't sure what else to do - hopefully they will transfer OK into the ground once I get digging. We haven't seen sead potatoes for sale here at all - not that we've looked exceptionally hard. A play I'm going to have, maybe next weekend, is to turn the compost heap and bag up any yummy compost that is there to take with us. Seeing as I finished my jumper, it was definitely time to start my first ever sock - I've wanted to try knitting socks for ages. I'm quite pleased with my first attempt.

Here at Beavercreek we are striving to vastly expand our grape production this coming season. Due to the increased demand and increase in our wine production license, we will be trying to produce as much of our in house wine as possible. A large part in doing this will be planting as many grape vines as the soil permits. We strive to be one of the fastest growing grape farms in the region and look forward to being able to supply more of our house wine locally and abroad. We look forward to seeing you at the farm in this upcoming season.

The Gastronomy and Food Products of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro Valorization and Promotion Project is already underway. This project aims to safeguard and project the wealth of this region’s food culture and, ultimately, prepare an application to UNESCO’s List of Best Practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage. The initiative, which came firstly from DESTEQUE – Association for the Development of Terra Quente, joined by CORANE – Association for the Development of the Municipalities of Raia Nordestina and DOURO SUPERIOR – Association for Development associated themselves, has the technical and scientific support of IPI Consulting Network. The work started in February, and several research and development processes for promotion solutions, enhancement of local agents and qualification of products and services associated with this unique food culture are already in full swing. Thus, in addition to the important stimulating role for producers, hoteliers and other agents in the food economic chain, this project should promote these food and cultural resources externally, aiming for the tourist and economic development of the Portuguese Northeast. This project is co-financed by the Support Line for the Tourist Enhancement of the Interior, by Turismo de Portugal, and its main objective is to value and promote the specificity, typicality and quality of products and gastronomic dishes in the region of Trás-os-Montes and Alto-Douro, particularly in the municipalities that integrate the three associations promoting the project: Alfândega da Fé, Bragança, Carrazeda de Ansiães, Ash of Espada à Cinta, Macedo de Cavaleiros, Miranda do Douro, Mirandela, Mogadouro, Torre de Moncorvo, Vila Flor, Vila Nova de Foz Côa, Vimioso and Vinhais. It has also had the support of the Regional Agriculture Directorate of the North, an entity with a deep knowledge of this reality in its most elementary expression of production, distribution circuits and associated traditions, as well as its certification. The initiative, we recall, was publicly presented in April 2016, in a session that counted with the participation of the three development associations and the thirteen municipalities involved, and a Commission of Honor of the Candidacy was also announced, chaired by the distinguished Professor Adriano Moreira. On the occasion, the State Councilor underlined that « gastronomy is one of the factors that value the relationship with the land, of the people who live close to the land, who know the past, the present, and the future that they aspire for people. From them can come the main answer to the most serious challenges of our time, to which the will of the people of Trás-os-Montes responds rather than breaking than twisting. They deserve the respect and gratitude of the community of this Portuguese land where we were honored to be born. » Among the many actions that this project proposes to implement – such as the development of a graphic identity, research processes and documentary collection, carrying out public information initiatives, awareness and training sessions, creating a website and activating social networks – there is also the preparation of requests to register these resources and endogenous assets in the List of Traditional Portuguese Products of the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, in addition to the aforementioned Application to UNESCO. One of the steps already taken, in order to collect contributions and content from the public and subscribers to a newsletter, was the creation of a microsite, available to all who want to contribute or receive the news of the project and other information on this tasty theme. The organization invites, as such, to visit this online introduction to the project, at https://ipicnprojetos.wixsite.com/gastronomia-tmad After public tender, the project was commissioned to the IPI Consulting Network and InfoPortugal companies, which have been engaged in different work fronts, such as the preparation of applications and the development of actions, and multimedia solutions including the website. The IPI team is coordinated by Professor Carlos Laranjo Medeiros, an anthropologist who has already coordinated other successful projects such as the elevation of Cante Alentejano to Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and includes, among other experienced technicians, Dr. Patrícia Cordeiro, a sociologist who recently led the process of raising the Caretos de Podence to the same status. InfoPortugal develops digital content and technological solutions, integrating the Impresa group since 2007 and presenting relevant know-how in projects such as the development of the portals Historical Villages of Portugal, Amar o Minho or Magic Mountains, Rota do Românico, among many other cases of successful digital presences. This team will be coordinated by Dr. Ana Leite, graduated in Plastic Arts and Master in Multimedia, who is part of InfoPortugal where she has coordinated other projects of a similar nature. The visual identity work is one of the aspects of this project in which the results are also already visible, having already been defined the official logo, by the graphic designer Sofia Neves, which we reveal here.

Tractors are important utility in modern farming. This tool or group of equipments have successfully served farmers the labour and some currency. Making the most out of farmlands undoubtedly depends on these machineries and that makes its purchase crucial. In former articles like: Snail farming in Nigeria – The basics for beginners and Yam farming in Nigeria — Steps , I clearly pointed out how lucrative Agriculture is in Nigeria. Nigeria is a country destined for agriculture although it's done basically in small-scale. The government has always been objective in suggesting ways in which Agriculture can be done as a rich venture but has performed below the par in delving into it squarely. Our leadership has popularized themselves by mere creating of a 1-3 month lifespan agricultural companies. They've been successful in only doing little in mechanized agriculture in the country. As a determined farmer, you could oppose the only ' talk and suggest' method of mechanized farming of the government by going beyond the popular manual agriculture. It is of note that since mechanized agriculture is a lucrative venture, it's machinery is predictively expensive also. The various details and corresponding prices of these machineries are listed below. Agricultural machinery are mainly divided into: → Hand operated tractors. → Mini tractors. → Heavy tractor category.Hand Operated/Pushed Tractors Price This is a less popular type of tractor. They are the ones which are pushed and operated by hand and are called hand operated tractors. These kind of tractors are limited and specific specific in operation. They might perform tasks other big tractors couldn't. It is relatively cheaper than the other types of tractor and could be rented or hired easily. Hand operated tractors have their own engines which power their operations and can also power some small implements. The term “hand operated” is just used to indicate that this type of tractor is moved by hand. It could also be used on medium sized farmlands. They are distinctively the smallest types of tractors. The price of a fairly used hand operated tractor ranges from between 350 000 Naira to 500 000 Naira for a fairly used one A completely new hand operated tractor can be gotten at the price of between 1.2 to 2 million naira The updated prices of hand operated tractors can continuously be obtaines at the jiji.com and olx.com classified sites. Price of Mini Tractors Mini tractors are a class of tractor of medium size. It is bigger than pushed tractors. To purchase a new tractor of this class in the country, you may have to make an order directly from the supplier abroad and that will be effected with some more expense. However, the price of the fairly used mini tractors ranges from 2.5 million to 4 million naira . These prices might be negotiable atimes.Price of Bigger Sized Tractors This is the most popular and biggest category of farm tractors. Common brands of farm tractors in this category found in Nigeria are Caterpillar, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Mahindra . These set of tractors maybe because of its price is often purchased in a fairly used state. The price of a fairly used tractor in this category is between 6 million to 12 million naira . You can get a new tractor at a price starting from 11 million naira Tractor Accessories and Prices Majority of tractors are made for multi-operational functions. They are built to accommodate different accessories. Tractors accessories are the farm implements attached to the tractor. They are usually attached to the tractor because they are powered by the tractor to perform their operations. A Plough is an accessory of a tractor that pulls through the ground in order to break it open into furrows for planting. The price of a fairly used plough is between 2.7 million naira and 4 million naira . New ones can be obtained at the price of 4 million naira → Price of Tillers This is a type of cultivator that breaks down hard soil clods produced by the plough. It operates by piercing through the soil. Depending on the size, one can get a tiller at the price of 195 thousand naira → Price of Ridgers The ridger is an important accessory in mechanized crop farming.

There are many types of harvesters but the price of the tractor-mounted combine harvester is the one to be listed.

After a lifetime of growing other plants (roses, tropicals, bromeliads, etc.), Bob and Nancy started seriously growing daylilies in 2005. After a move from a small city lot to 1.7 sunny acres, we wanted to grow an easy-to-care-for plant. We visited two daylily nurseries that summer and our collection was started. In 2008, Nancy caught the hybridizing bug. Bob was more reluctant, knowing what work it would be, but he soon jumped on the bandwagon. We bloomed our first seedlings in 2009 and since have grown 350--3400 seedlings a year. We currently have 1000+ varieties (the number changes frequently) and many (too many to count) seedlings. Our hybridizing efforts are mostly on tetraploid daylilies that have teeth or eyes and edges, or are bitones, late blooming, or are orange. Nancy also enjoys working with both tetraploid and diploid miniature and small-flowered daylilies while Bob works on fulva varieties crossed with modern fancy daylilies. Our daughter Elissa joined the hybridizing adventure in 2017. She likes working with purple. We are members of the American Hemerocallis Society and Midwest Hybridizers (Shirley Farmer Midwest Hybridizers Meeting). We are active members of Hoosier Daylily Society, which meets in Indianapolis metro area. You may also visit Cherry Hill Garden on Facebook.

Not all cannabis seeds can grow successfully indoors, so you have to make sure you’re choosing strains suitable for indoor cultivation. Here are some of the cannabis strains you can grow indoors: It is a famous Dutch strain that responds well to SOG or “screen of green” method. White Widow can grow indoors and outdoors. If you grow it indoors, expect 18 ounces of buds or more per square meter during the harvest period. It is a bushy, compact plant that grows up to 3 to 4 feet tall, making it ideal for indoor cultivation. This plant will give you those delicious buds in just 8 weeks. You can also grow it outdoors. Whatever the case, you can always expect the best from CBDream. Trainwreck is a popular indica strain that is ideal for indoor cultivation. It is a highly recommended strain to grow for novice growers for beginners like you. This plant is very manageable because they don’t grow too tall. The buds will be ready for harvesting in just 7 weeks. Many indoor growers use HPS or high-pressure sodium lights as a source of light for the cannabis plants they grow. HPS lights are a better choice for these people because they are affordable and very effective. LED or light emitting diode lights are also effective like the HPS lights. The only problem is they are more expensive for everybody’s budget. When you buy a grow tent, you will often obtain a manufacturer’s suggestion regarding the lamp size and the size of an extraction fan. The most typical HPS lights are available in different wattages: 250 watts, 400 watts, and 600 watts. The higher the watts, the more heat, and light these lamps will produce. There are many ways to cultivate cannabis. However, getting started with a premixed soil, a purpose-built indoor tent, and HPS lights is still the best route. Advanced growers will recommend the hydroponic systems like the nutrient film method and deep water culture as they provide better results compared to soil. In your case, learning the basics is very important. Don’t rush. As a beginner, you have to master first the basics in growing cannabis indoors before you can delve into more complex growing systems.

You’ve been hard at work growing herbs in your garden or collecting them while out foraging. Or maybe you’re like me and you do both! Don’t let all that hard work go to waste; make sure you preserve your bounty. And there’s no easier way to do it than with this easy hang and forget method! How do you hang herbs to preserve them for future use? Before you do anything, you’ll want to try and gather herbs with stems still intact. Leave yourself some room to tie a string around the base when you’re ready to dry them. Once you’ve finished picking your herbs, be sure to clean them. Simply shake off any dirt that’s collected on the leaves, then rinse in a bowl of cool water. There’s no need to drown the the herbs. Just give them a quick rinse. Once they’ve had their little bath, use a piece of string, bailing twine, or ribbon to tie small bouquets of herbs together. You can use a clothespin to hang them from a line in a dry place, out of the sun, in your house. Personally, I’m a bailing twine addict. I use it to put up a simple all-purpose line indoors to hang herbs, laundry, and even artwork to dry. When you are tying your herb bouquets, be careful that you don’t make them too thick. It’s important that all of the moisture is removed from the herbs over the duration of the drying process. You’ll want to check in on them every few days. If needed, retie bouquets by moving the stems on the inside to the out, and vice virsa. Some herbs, like several of the ones in my photo above, have large, thick stems and can be hung individually. I like to secure stems and small bouquets using a clothespin. How long do I need to hang my herbs to dry before they’re done? Hang drying herbs isn’t a quick process. It may take over a month for them to dry, my average being about four weeks. Of course different things like humidity and temperature will play a part in how long it takes your herbs to dry. So will other factors like the type of herb, stem thickness and so on. Check in on them regularly, and you’ll learn which herbs dry in the different amounts of time. Just make sure you don’t package them until they are dry. The last thing you want to do is allow mold to set in! Don’t want to wait weeks for your herbs to dry?

Grapes & Memories Many people see the grape season as a sign of the end of summer, when nights grow cooler and days shorter. Growing up on a San Joaquin Valley farm which produced Thompson Seedless grapes, I felt the coming harvest not as an ending but a beginning. I liked the rumbling of the gondolas coming down our driveway and the bustle of change. It was the start of a new school year, when everything surrounding me began to feel fresh and new. Those yet to be opened books and clean blackboards awaited me. My mother would drive me to school past vineyard after vineyard of rows smoothed for the coming trays, expecting the grapes to be laid for raisins. Inevitably, it always seemed to rain on the first day of school, further instilling the feelings of refreshing the earth after a long, productive stone fruit season. The rain, however, was the dread of the raisin farmer whose crop needed the sweltering heat of summer to remain, beating down for a few more days to dry their fruit. The San Joaquin Valley produces more than 60% of California wine grapes, and according to Marketplaceraisin grapes are grown on 165,000 Valley acres, although this number was double this amount just fifteen years ago. Nut trees have become more profitable, replacing grapes. Still, it is a grand development since the first commercial grapes were grown in this region in the 1880s and grape farmers began to edge out the wheat farmer with greater yields. One circular of the time, titled “Fortunes in Vineyards,” showed an illustration of a prosperous Fresno grape farmer’s parlor, his large family enjoying their riches. Next to it the lonely wheat farmer’s meager dwelling. Landscapes, weather, and profits change. We see these as endings or beginnings, depending on our own sensitivities and sentimentalities. It is this time of year when I miss my family’s vineyard the most and those cool mornings as I began each new school year.

No one could truthfully claim that we do not have interesting insects here; some delightful, and others not quite so charming. Last December, I came across this beautiful gold beetle on my sweet potato plants. It looked like a dainty little Christmas decoration. A bit of research revealed that the beetle belonged to the family Chrysomelidae, the leaf beetles. This type of leaf beetle is sometimes also called a tortoise beetle, because the shape is a bit tortoise-like. This particular species is the Fool’s Gold Beetle (Aspidimorpha quadriremis). Its favourite food is the morning glory vine, but it also eats the leaves of sweet potato, which is in the same family of plants (Convolvulaceae). Strangely, although they are not related to sweet potato at all closely, plants in the true potato family (Solanaceae) are also on its menu. Then, a few weeks ago, I came upon this strange creature on my sweet potato plants. It turned out to be the larva of the fool’s gold beetle. This rather ugly child of the beautiful beetle holds a shield of poop mixed with bits of cast off exoskeleton over its back. Presumably, when predators see this piece of unwholesome and uncouth behavior, they back off, and search for a more cultured type of beetle larva to eat! The level of damage that a few of the beetle inflict on the sweet potatoes is unlikely to distress the plants much, so I have left the larvae to carry on. If population levels increase to the point where the sweet potatoes are unhappy, I will try moving the larvae to a huge and hooliganish potato creeper (Solanum africanum). Now, to the tale of another insect: For many years, I have struggled to grow squashes of various sorts; particularly courgettes and butternuts. Success has been very limited. In fact, I once harvested two butternuts, and that’s it; the sum total. The plants become infected with powdery mildew at a very young age. Although they valiantly try to out-grow the fungus, and cast forth new runners, the fruit never gets a chance to develop before the fungus catches up. Margaret Roberts’ organic fungicide does not help. So, this year, I was delighted when the gem squash seedlings I tried for a change were fungus free, several weeks after germination. They were flowering well, and all was looking potentially good when… …pumpkin fly came into the picture. Here is one of these nasty (though beautiful in its own way) little blighters. The squares marked in blue are 1 cm square, so you can see that the fly is quite small. It is a typical fruit fly*. Note the pointy ovipositor at the back, for putting an egg into an unsuspecting baby gem. *We call the tiny little flies that try to drown themselves in our wine or beer at a braai “fruit flies”, but those very tiny flies are actually vinegar flies. They are a pest at outdoor parties, but they do not attack live fruit. They feast on already fallen fruit, which is often very fermented. I salute the alcohol tolerance of the vinegar fly. I have seen them fly into a glass of whisky. On being rescued with a teaspoon, they may at first appear dead, but after a moment or two they start to wander about in a drunken and dazed fashion. After a little while longer, they take off and fly away, (probably into the next glass of alcoholic beverage!) Pumpkin flies attack while the fruits are very small. The small blemish on this one is the site where a pumpkin fly has inserted her eggs. The other side of the gem looks unmarked, but inside, it is being turned into mush by fruit fly maggots. Here is a close-up of one. To control this infestation, young Sean**, at Tokai SuperPlant, suggested an insecticidal neem spray. However, neem can kill bees, and as the flies target very young fruits, the flowers that the bees are pollinating are very close by. So, I decided to try a fruit fly bait. You spray it on to the under sides of the leaves, where the fruit flies like to sit and rest. It is less dangerous to bees, because it is formulated to attract fruit flies, and so is of no interest to the bees. So far, it does not seem to be saving my gem squashes. Any suggestions about what would work better will be gratefully received! **He’s the lad with flowers round his hat. He is quite keen on organic and natural solutions to garden problems.

OSTC-Southwest Agriscience and Environmental Technologies and Culinary Arts/Hospitality students merged to deliver an amazing farm-to-table experience! The 2022 farm-to-table initiative offered students an opportunity to build a local, healthy, equitable and sustainable plate of food. Over the course of three separate days, students learned about proper stockmanship, feed, carcass evaluation, “fabrication” of a chicken and where our food comes from. The celebration capped off the end of the Broiler Chicken Contest for Agriscience students who placed 62nd out of 177 entries in terms of weight, conformation and general knowledge of the proper care for raising chicks from one day old to six-week-old hens and roosters. Students gained the necessary skills for a successful career in the production, selection, use and management of organic chickens. The OSTC-Southwest farm-to-table movement was an ambitious initiative of the program instructors which took place over a six-week period. Once the remaining cocks and pullets were five - seven pounds, they were taken to a local food processor and delivered back to the campus where the Culinary Arts students degreased, dressed, marinated, and baked the chicken with Mise en place. Some of the chicken was rendered and made into chicken stock. This process entailed using farm fresh products such as poultry, butter, spices, and vegetables to produce a plated meal for the students.

As the lilies and irises poke up through the dirt to signal spring, we’ll be taking a cue from the French and eagerly digging into the first goat cheeses of the season. It’s a general rule that artisan cheese is at its best when made with spring milk—after a winter diet of dry hay and feed, the flush of nutritious tender grass, herbs, and wildflowers helps dairy animals to produce richer milk, with more depth of flavor. But even unpastured goats, fed that dry winter diet year-round, produce their fattiest milk in the earliest weeks of nursing, after giving birth in the spring. A goat produces far less milk than a cow—only six to eight pounds per day, compared to a cow’s whopping 120—so most farmstead goat cheese is made in small batches. Since these wheels are small, they don’t need much time to mature; even the funkiest ripened chèvre spends only a few weeks to a month in the aging cave. Both fresh and soft-ripened goat cheeses made with spring milk are readily available from mid-spring through early summer.

(as seen in the Green Living Journal, September 2016) I get so excited this time of year when I see the amazing bounty our farmers produce for us. I see the lavish mounds of tomatoes, berries, plums, corn, green beans and more, and try to think of ways that I can preserve at least some of these beauties to have in the winter. I think part of this urge is due to seeing my mother can peaches, pears, tomatoes, berries, cherries, and jams and pickles. Most mothers did that when I was young in the 50s and 60s. Most of the parents had experienced at least part of The Depression, and there wasn’t as much disposable income so folks went to farms to buy fruits to “put up” to see them through the winter. They knew from experience that food is precious. This was before the days of air conditioning; my mother would be dripping, working in a steamy kitchen on what seemed like the hottest days of the year when she canned the tomatoes and peaches. Luckily she could also freeze some things – I remember savoring partially-defrosted jewel-colored berries with shimmering ice crystals still attached. All of these are activities that can be done with a group of friends working together. My friend, Chris, talks about how the women in her extended family would get together to process bushels of corn for the freezer. They would all wear their “corn dresses” (old house dresses that could be spattered on) and set up tables outside in the shade to cut the corn off the cobs with sharp knives. And of course, they chatted while they worked which made the time pass more quickly. Most of the foods I preserve are put in glass jars in the freezer: blanched green beans, spinach, asparagus and pea pods, whole Roma tomatoes, chunky applesauce, corn, and whatever else strikes my fancy. It is a real treat to be able to reach in the freezer for my dinner ingredients, knowing where they came from. I also have a food dryer for fruits, and I have made pickles and jams and marmalades. Like most of us, I have the good fortune to not need to conserve all my winter food, although having to do so would certainly fill my time. But I do love conserving and preserving even the quantity that I do because it gives me a sense of appreciation, self-reliance and accomplishment. When it comes to conserving and preserving, it is essential to broaden our thinking beyond those glass jars. Because of the way we live now, most of us aren’t in touch with the folks we depend on to feed us. We need to take time to consider the larger picture: where would we be without the farmers and the farms? Where would we be without enough water to irrigate the farms? Along the same idea is conserving food in the sense of not wasting it. There are lots of statistics about how much food is wasted both in homes and throughout the entire food system. Keep in mind that the final produce you see in the store or the farmers market embodies energy consumption to grow, harvest and transport it, as well as lots of water for irrigation. If we have wasted produce at home, we compost it so we can enrich our garden – the same way Nature enriches her growing things. So in the winter when you reward yourself by opening up a jar of some treasure that you preserved, take a moment to realize that in doing so, you also preserved a bit of the planet.

Kids and Gardening Gardening is a great way to introduce kids to ecology, sustainability, self-reliance, not to mention get them outside, exercising! In the past several years, the Crescent Grange has hosted a children’s garden and has had quite a few young volunteers who have helped build soil, plant, weed, water and harvest. Parents already know that when kids help with cooking healthy meals, they are more likely to eat them. But if they can grow their own vegetables, they are even more inspired to taste and sample a variety of produce. “Playing” in the dirt is also a good way to build a child’s immunity, according to recent studies. If you and your kids would like to participate in the Crescent Grange community, contact Margaret, the garden coordinator at email@example.com.

It’s common in some places to assume cereals include legumes, or rather what are technically referred to as pulses. The two are actually distinct from each other. Cereals consist of plants in the grass family that are cultivated for their starchy grains. They include the likes of Wheat, Maize, Rice, Millet, Sorghum etc. Legumes on the other hand consist of seeds from leguminous plants such as beans, lentils, and peas.

Tree Fertilization: Should You Fertilize Trees? Trees are a part of nearly every landscape, and the benefits of trees are endless! They add monetary value to any property, bring shade to your yard, help shield your home from the elements, bring beauty to any area, create privacy, and attract a plethora of wildlife that helps sustain a biodiverse environment. And while trees of all kinds often seem mostly self-sufficient, they still can benefit from some special care and attention for them to grow strong and stay healthy. While fertilizing your trees is a relatively simple process, if it isn't done right, you can cause devastating damage to your trees. That is why we are here to walk you through some of the dos and don'ts of fertilizing your trees. Do Trees Need to be Fertilized? The answer to this question is yes! Especially here in Colorado where our native soil is dense, alkaline, and lacking nutrients, your deciduous trees, evergreen trees, and fruit trees will all greatly benefit from being fertilized. The three primary nutrients in most fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Of these three nutrients, nitrogen encourages the most growth in trees and is also the most limited nutrient in our soils. If your trees are not getting enough nitrogen, they will begin to slow their growth or experience stunted growth altogether. So, if you want your trees to continue to grow, supplementing the soil around your trees with some additional nutrients is highly recommended! When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Trees? Timing your fertilizations is just as important as fertilizing itself. If you fertilize at the wrong time of year or during the wrong stage of growth, your efforts could prove to be counterproductive. Here are a few things to keep in mind when planning to fertilize trees. Fertilize at the Right Time of the Year The best time to fertilize your trees is either in early spring 4-6 weeks before the buds on your trees begin to emerge or late in the fall season after the leaves have dropped but when soil temperatures are still at or above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to avoid fertilizing your trees in the late summer or early fall as this can actually affect the way your tree prepares for winter and can compromise its hardiness. Fertilize Your Tree During the Appropriate Phase of Growth It is also very important to be aware of the phase of growth that your tree is in, because fertilizing when it is in the wrong phase of growth can also prove to be counterproductive. Your trees go through three general phases of growth. They go through an Establishment Phase, followed by a Growth Phase, followed by a Mature Maintenance Phase. During the Establishment Phase, your tree's main objective is growing strong roots and establishing itself. In general, a newly planted tree will be in this phase for 1 year per inch in diameter. For example, if you plant a tree with a trunk that is 3 inches in diameter, it will take approximately 3 years to fully establish. Fertilizing during this phase is not recommended because fertilizing encourages canopy growth and diverts energy away from the roots of the tree to its leaves. And as you can probably imagine, if the roots of your tree aren't able to fully establish, this will not lead to a strong and healthy tree in the long run. The Growth Phase is the ideal phase for tree fertilization. You will know your tree has transitioned to this phase because you will begin to see significant branch growth. During this phase, fertilization will encourage more rapid growth. During this phase, it is still good to fertilize, though your tree will not need to be fertilized nearly as much as it was during its growth phase. It is very important to be careful not to overfertilize a tree that is in this mature state, because overfertilizing can force excess canopy growth that the tree and its root system may not be capable of sustaining, potentially leading to an early decline in health. How Often Should I Fertilize My Trees? Generally, fertilizing your trees 1-2 times per year in the early spring or late fall is all that is needed. Every tree or shrub is different and may have different growing needs, so you can always consult your local plant nursery for tips or suggestions on how much and how often to fertilize your trees. What Fertilizer is Best for Trees? There are tons of different types of fertilizers out there. The types of fertilizers most people are probably most familiar with are granular fertilizers or liquid fertilizers, which those will usually not be very effective for use on your trees. Especially if your trees are planted in a lawn and are surrounded by grass, the grass will use up all the nutrients provided by the fertilizer before the trees roots can get to them. Because of this we recommend using fertilizers that can be applied below the soil's surface. This can be done either by using fertilizer spikes that are driven into the ground and then dissolve over time, allowing the fertilizer to bypass the grass and get deep down to the trees roots. You can also ensure nutrients get to the roots of your tree by using a root feeder. We also recommend using a slow-release tree fertilizer. Trees are large and grow slowly, so using anything other than a slow-release fertilizer could overwhelm or damage your tree. Over-fertilizing can easily cause substantial damage to your tree and is not something that is easily reversed. How Do You Fertilize a Tree for Planting? If you are about to plant a tree and are wondering if there is anything you can do to help stimulate its growth right from the get-go, we have two things we recommend: make sure you are planting in healthy soil that is rich in organic materials, and use a root stimulator when planting to help encourage strong root growth. Plant Your Trees in Healthy Soil The best thing you can do when preparing to plant your tree is to ensure the soil is healthy. Our Colorado soil is dense and clay-heavy, which means that it holds onto a lot of water and is also difficult for roots to penetrate. Amending your soil with organic materials such as compost and other additives will help loosen up the soil, help it drain better, encourage the presence of beneficial insects, and naturally introduce nutrients into the soil. Mixing granular fertilizers into the soil or immediately watering with a liquid fertilizer is not recommended, as this will just tell the plant to grow leaves instead of focusing on growing strong roots, as was mentioned above. To learn more about best practices when planting trees, check out our Tree & Shrub Planting Guide. Use MYKE Tree & Shrub Root Stimulator Dispite this product looking similar and being used similar to that of normal granular fertilizers, it is quite different from a tree fertilizer. MYKE Tree and Shrub is an all-natural product that helps to encourage superior growth, extending the life span of trees and shrubs, and accelerating recovery from transplant shock. This product contains mycorrhizae (mai·kuh·rai·zee) which is a fungus that forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of your plant. When planted together, they benefit each other mutually, and the result of this is a plant that has an increased survival rate, requires less water, flowers and produces fruit more abuntantly, and displays rapid growth and development.

By Margaret Morton Leesburg Today The announcement that Loudoun would be the first-ever East Coast host for the 2015 Wine Tourism Conference coincides with an initiative that could see the county become home to a first in the commonwealth—the Viticulture & Enology Education Center. Only two other such programs are in existence, one in North Carolina and the other in New York’s Finger Lakes region. The primary mission of the proposed center would be to provide viticulture and enology/wine studies education and training to the Northern Virginia grape and wine industry. The goal of the center would be to improve the overall quality of wine produced in the county by providing a more highly trained workforce. The County of Loudoun, the Town of Purcellville and the state Department of Agriculture jointly funded the feasibility study earlier this year. The Virginia Tech Office of Economic Development conducted the study. A committee, including area winery owners, government representatives, business representatives and educators, was set up to oversee the process. The first draft of the business plan is scheduled to come before the Purcellville Town Council Dec. 9. Loudoun Agricultural Development Officer Kellie Boles said the Board of Supervisors would be invited to attend the presentation. If not enough can attend, the department would give a separate presentation, she said. The county’s wineries have an estimated $136 million economic impact each year, according to the Department of Economic Development. The Virginia Wine Board’s most recent commercial grape report showed the county produced more than 1,000 tons of grapes on over 500 acres last year, 95 percent in wine grapes. Initial reaction to the draft presentation circulated to the committee has been mostly positive. Committee member Bob Rupy, of Bluemont Vineyard, said there is a need for specialized training throughout the region. “We’re always looking for competent, trained staff to help us maintain the growth,” he said. He liked the study’s recommendation to take a phased approach. Doug Fabbioli, of Fabbioli Cellars, also serves on the committee. He strongly supports the need for an increased workforce, but doesn’t want to see the program become too academic. “We need to get [our] hands dirty to make things happen,” he said, predicting a needed focus will be to see how best to do that. Although not a committee member, Ben Renshaw, owner of 8 Chains North Winery, was enthusiastic about the concept. “We have the demographics. Why not? I think it’s of the utmost importance,” he said. A key challenge, he said, was growing more grapes in the area and growing the right grapes from which to produce the best wine. Renshaw approves of the academic component as a way to help new or inexperienced vineyard owners avoid pitfalls. “A program that focuses on vineyards that want to go about it the right way is good,” he said. “If we want to be taken seriously, the number one issue is quality of the wine.” Committee member Jim Bowman, of John Marshall Bank, also liked the pragmatic, phased approach that would start with offering classes first, including the outdoor component at local vineyards, and developing a bricks and mortar training center in the future. Former Purcellville Mayor Bob Lazaro, who was an early supporter of the project, said the choice of Loudoun as the wine conference site next November is a testament to the growth of the county’s wine industry over the past decade. Both Lazaro and Boles support the concept of the new program offering a two-year associate’s degree before coming under Virginia Tech’s umbrella for a bachelor’s degree. Lazaro noted the curriculum is already approved by the state and could be taught by Northern Virginia Community College academics. Boles was pleased with the initial plan. “It’s saying what we all know,” she said. “We need more grapes so we can focus on the vineyard, then grow the enology piece, plus we can grow better grapes for good winemaking.” Both Boles and Purcellville Assistant Town Manager Patrick Childs emphasized the proposal is in the initial stages and much could change as the committee and Virginia Tech continue working.

it's coming along, so i wanted to join in sara's thursday "around the farm/garden". we have lots of greens coming up. we planted tatsoi for the 1st time this year, plus a mesclun mix, kale, rainbow chard, radishes, carrots, beets, soybeans, peppers and a bunch of herbs. we have a few varieties of heirloom tomatoes too, and i still need to get squash and cucumbers in there but we've temporarily run out of space! our garden is a collaborative one this year. we're sharing our space with our friends who live in our building's first floor. it's great to be able to share space, seeds, ideas, work and, ultimately, food! with a few exceptions, we grow pretty much exclusively out of containers and raised beds because our soil, like most of the soil in cities with lots of old houses, is full of lead. i'm hoping we actually get a few strawberries this year... there's this little garden pest who keeps wanting to add the blossoms to her bouquets. i keep trying to tell her that she'll like the berries even more! all of those morning glory seedlings were self-sown from last year's flowers. i'm loving spending time out here, by the garden. and it's all the better when enjoyed with wool! i've been keeping busy scouring and picking some recent fleecey aquisitions that i picked up at the lovely maine fiber frolic this past weekend. i came home with nearly 13 pounds of fresh fleece (merino, border leicester, and a really cool romney X), one toddler girl who likes play "naughty baby goat" and one bigger girl who likes to be our family's patient but exasperated sheep dog. sheep dog commands have entered our family's daily vocabulary and a double feature family movie night with babe and pig in the city is on the agenda. i love those movies!

When organizers and founding members of the American Feed Manufacturers Association headed home from their first convention, they carried their shared mission with them. “First activity of the young association was in the field of feed control relations,” reported AFMA in its Golden Anniversary banquet program. “Work of the original committee, the Feed Control Relations Committee, has continued uninterrupted since 1909. Perhaps this committee has done more than any other to establish close harmony, honest manufacture and intelligent regulation.” The new association also aimed “to help correct some of the evils of the feed stuffs industry,” reported AFMA Agricultural Services Division Director W.T. Diamond in a presentation to the 1948 AFMA convention. “Accomplishment of this task centered around the ability of its members to put aside personal feelings and work determinedly to place the feed business on a higher plane.” Nearly 100 years after AFMA formed, association leaders would cite members’ ability to focus on the overall good of the industry as a key to the organization’s longevity and credibility. The feed industry in 1909 centered on hay and grain merchants, flour millers, brewers, ingredient blenders and even specialty products companies. In 1909, agriculture was about to break out of a rut. Ford Motor Company had started production of its Model T in 1908. Trucks were not far in the future. Horse power – fueled by grain and hay – was approaching its peak before machinery moved into agriculture. In response to public concern over U.S. agriculture’s inability to produce enough wheat to feed the country, the U.S. Department of Agriculture acknowledged scarcity but predicted rising production to meet the country’s needs. Meanwhile, World War I provided a huge boost to the feed industry. Agriculture in general benefited from the Emergency Food Production Act of 1917, which stimulated war-time production of agricultural commodities and put more Extension agents to work across the country. And the U.S. Army required millions of tons of horse and mule feed for the cavalry’s animals. As late as 1919, 60 percent of feed tonnage went to horses. The feed industry grew rapidly, and the young AFMA grew with it. After operating for several years with part-time and volunteer staff, AFMA hired Louis F. Brown, a New York state feed control official, as its first full-time executive secretary at offices established in Milwaukee. “Between 1910 and 1920, our greatest concern, of course, was World War I, and the obligations we had to the world in providing food and fiber, and fighting manpower,” noted Diamond in his 1948 presentation. “However, it was during this period that protein supplements came into being – an important development in industry from the standpoint of producing more meat, milk and eggs.” AFMA’s first ‘Sunshine Hour,’ 1909.

Alike other animals, cows generate excrement due to the digestive process. An average bovine produces approximately 30 kilograms of excrement daily, adding up to more than 10 tons per year per individual. In Spain, with more than 6.5 million head of livestock, excrement production is significant, playing a crucial role in nutrient cycles. An important fraction of this excrement is processed by decomposer organisms, among them dung beetles. Through their activity, these insects eliminate and bury the feces of herbivores. In this way, they not only facilitate nutrient cycling but also contribute to soil aeration, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, seed dispersal and parasite control. This group is inextricably related with livestock farming, an agricultural practice of vital economic and social importance that is divided into extensive and intensive systems. Extensive livestock farming, considered more sustainable, produces high-quality meat and dairy products, while intensive livestock farming is based in higher cow densities, and the frequent use of food supplements, antibiotics, antiparasitics, exotic plant species and fertilizers, so it has important negative impacts on soils and biodiversity. We gathered an international team, co-lead by the National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC), and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) to evaluate how the diversity of dung beetles affects the decomposition of excrement in grasslands of different livestock regimes using field experiments. The results of this work have just been published in in Nature Communications, and provide crucial information for the sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystem services in the agricultural sector. In general, the number of dung beetle species is higher in extensive grasslands, and the number of species is one of the main determinants of the amount of decomposed excrement. But in addition, using meta-analysis techniques we established that greater functional diversity in these insects translates into greater efficiency in excrement removal, regardless of the livestock regime. This suggests that promoting functional diversity in agrosilvopastoral landscapes can balance food production with biodiversity conservation, reinforcing the importance of agricultural and livestock management strategies that promote this diversity.

We will address any and all questions, comments, or concerns, as quickly as possible. Welcome to the Living In Cambodia Forums! In this post I will try to answer questions if I can? Help with the best of my knowledge if possible. Firstly I am not a full time 'Farmer'. In the 60s and 70s I worked as a kid on local farms to earn a little money. I came from a poor background. I have always worked hard and craved knowledge and learning. Like Kenny in the late 70s I was interested, and studied Hydroponics. But in later (self taught years). I saw the advantages, and challenging disadvantages of Aquaponics. Firstly. We must understand the basic needs of what a plant needs to live and grow. Water, Nutrients, Air, light, Temperature, space, and time. Water - To feed (just the same way, we need to drink) and used to carry the nutrients. Too little or too much water or nutrients can also be harmful. Nutrients - The most important nutrients for plants growing needs are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen is necessary for making green leaves, phosphorus is needed for making big flowers and strong roots, and potassium helps the plants fight off disease. Temperature - Most plants prefer cooler nighttime temps and warmer daytime temperatures. Air and Light - Fresh, clean air and light are essential for healthy growth. Plants are the greatest consumer of solar energy, using power from the sun to mix up an energy rich meal. The process where plants make their own food is known as photosynthesis. Space and Time - Plants need room to grow. Without enough room, plants can become stunted or too small. Overcrowded plants are also more likely to suffer from diseases since airflow may be limited. Finally, plants require time and care. To go back and answer a question? Most seeds will be required to germinate in darkness. Paul mentioned lighting? Back in the early days, and still mostly now! The lights used for hydroponic growing would be very expensive 600w. With the new technology of LCD lights on the market, and now very good growing media available via the internet. I had returned some years ago to experiment with Hydroponic indoor growing again. The following photo's are of working prototypes. Drip feed and Flood and drain systems. This is a drip feed system to accommodate four young plants. When the plants grow too large they are moved into their own single unit. The pipes can be placed freely and water flow can be regulated via the taps. The pump works with a timer. The built in temperature gauge is nice useful feature. This is a Flood and drain system (without a Bell Syphon). Again the pump is on the timer! When the pump stops, the water flows back via the pump. Same concept, just slower return flow (use for large plant). Just some of the components needed to build. I use the air-stone in the grow bed to give more oxygen to the plants roots. This all works on the watering cycles, when the timer ends the pump and air stop too. Flower used to illustrate. LCD Light can be adjusted accordingly. All the parts I used to make the above prototypes are storage components, from a well known European furniture outlet! Now very well established in Thailand. While rice is really the last thing I ever wish to plant, Chan and I talked about it early this year. So, after buying seed, putting it in the ground, fertilizing it when necessary, and praying enough rain would come to feed the rice, harvest finally arrived. The harvester arrived last evening. A few friends of her nephew showed up as well, to help bag the harvest. Not a very good one this year, due to late rains, though. Twenty-seven bags of rice were harvested from two hectares of land. Will see how much (weight) we yielded soon, when it is sold. I hope we at least have a bit of spending money left over, afterward. So, January of last year (2016), we dug a new pond, filled in an old pond, and added a bit more fill dirt about to expand the higher land at the farm. Running a bit behind, mostly due to rainy season lasting into January of this year, and delays in getting funds transferred. But, we are here now. Chan rang the farm today, learning the dirt guys were across the road working. Talk about timing. She got off the phone and let me know what was happening. So, for tomorrow (Monday the 13th), we agreed to pay $8.00 per load of dirt, delivered and filled in to continue expanding the higher property so we will be able to expand the farm with livestock. We will build a larger barn for the cows, to allow for those to have needed room, and for future cows, as well. A bit later, someone rang us from the farm. It was a neighbor who lives very close by, letting us know she would like a pond dug. So, it looks like this could be a win-win situation for us, and the neighbor. Due to them being so close to the property, we will get the loads of dirt needed, at $7.00 each. Possibly even cheaper. (Negotiating tomorrow, at the farm.) We will start with another, oh, 50 to 60 loads or so, then see where that puts us. So, it looks like there is no need for us to dig another pond, or expand our current pond at the farm, at this time.

The Bahrain-India Friendship Garden for Neem trees was inaugurated on the 3rd June 2019 at GPIC Complex. The garden, which has 150 neem trees, was built according to the latest designs and advanced irrigation systems to keep the evergreen trees healthy. These trees are characterized by their rapid growth and adaptability to desert conditions. The neem tree had been selected as the main component of the Bahrain-India Friendship Garden because it is one of the most successful plant in dry environments and has been nominated by a scientific study as the 21st century tree or the nature pharmacy due to its many uses in the pharmaceutical and pest control industry, including agricultural and insect repellents. The tree is also a new source of biofuel production as well as its superior air purification capacity. Neems are large, dense trees that grow up to 20 meters high and their branches form a large crown. Neem trees produce high-quality ash & sand, and they also have the ability to purify soil from salts and are known for their multiple medicinal uses in veterinary vaccines and in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

Nguturoa Catchment Field Day: Seeing, understanding, believing The Nguturoa ‘Seeing, Understanding, Believing’, (SUB) Project was begun by a group of landowners and farmers in the Nguturoa Catchment of the Manawatū. The purpose of the project funded by Our Land and Water is to measure trends in the ecological health, nutrient levels and sediment status of the Nguturoa Stream, directly linked to waterways draining from critical source areas on agricultural properties. Three participating landowners have developed farm plans showing how they are contributing towards improving the waterway in the catchment as part of their farming businesses. The purpose of this field day is to introduce farmers, land owners, and agri-business to the project and the tools and processes that support it. These include: - An understanding of water quality and waterway ecology and the factors that influence these. - An understanding of farm systems, farm business, and strategic decision making. - The Stream Health, Monitoring and Assessment Kit (SHMAK) produced by the National Institute of Water and Atmosphere (NIWA). During this field day we have provided a range of speakers to inform us about these topics and we look forward to your contributions in the discussions.

Roller Gin Lab-type TB510C Lab Roller Cotton Gin is applied for cotton research labs, or used for small production of small and medium cotton factories. We are professional cotton ginning machine supplier. Roller Gin Lab-type, used for cotton research labs, or low production of small and medium-sized cotton factories to separate cotton fiber from seed cotton. After the roller ginning process, cotton fiber without seed cotton can be tested to determine its properties. Roller size: Dia.120 mm, length 205 mm Roller rotation speed: 88 rpm Crankshaft rotation speed: 800 rpm Cotton yield: >/= Raw cotton yield (According to cotton grade) Rotation speed: 1400 rpm Pressure of roller: 4-7 kgf |220 V||50 Hz||370 W| |Length: 450 mm||Width: 450 mm||Height: 750 mm| The Principle of Roller Gin The cotton fibers are pulled straight by the leather roller when they pass through a set of fixed blades, at this moment the traction force of the roller on the fiber is less than the adhesion of the fiber on the cotton seed. Then a group of moving blades was used to impact the cottonseed, and the impact force was greater than the adhesion of the cotton fiber on the cotton seed, so the cotton seed was separated from the fiber. The Difference Between the Roller Gin and the Saw Gin The cotton gin is divided into a roller gin and a saw gin. It is processed by a roller gin lab-type when the quantity of cotton is relatively, and the cotton fiber processed by the roller gin is longer and more flexible than that processed by the saw gin, but it has many impurities and does not look glossy. A large number of cotton is generally processed by saw gin in industry, and the cotton fiber processed by saw gin is shorter and less flexible than that processed by roller gin, but it has less impurity and looks shiny. The Development of the Cotton Gin Since the birth of cotton gin, it has brought rapid development to the human society. At the same time, in order to adapt to faster and higher production demands, our company is committed to the development, management, and production of cotton ginning machine, with more scientific design concepts, more advanced management methods, more favorable cotton gin price, etc, to provide you with a better experience. As an excellent cotton ginning machine suppliers, we will serve wholeheartedly with the cotton gin for sale! [contact-form-7 id="16355" title="Inquiry"]

- Exploration Name: Food Systems - Exploration Dates: March 10 – May 2 - Number of Students: 15 A food system is the cyclical process of growing, transforming, packaging, transporting, cooking, eating, and recycling food. Sometimes we can skip some of these steps. For example if we eat a mango that grows from a tree at our house we are skipping packaging, transporting, cooking, and transforming. This is an example of a local food system. An example of a global food system is chips that have ingredients from different parts of the world and are packaged, transformed and transported all over the world. In our class we learned the difference between all three kinds of soil. They are sand, silt and clay. We started to grow the seeds. The seeds have grew, but we have not taken its to grow in our raised beds yet. In one day we have to give the water to the plants 3 – 4 times. We learned the six steps to grow the seeds, from laying the toilet paper to moving them in the tray. We have learned the part of the seeds. There are seed coat, embryo and cotyledons. We learned about the fruits and vegetables. We also learned about global and local food systems. Global is the food that is all around the world. Local is the food that is near. Ex: If we are Cambodian and buy the food in Cambodia that food is the local because it is near where we live. Ex: If we are Cambodian and buy the food from Malaysia that food is the global because it is far away from where we live. Also, we learn about the pros and the cons about local and global food systems. We took four trips to learn about Food Systems. The first trip we went on Organic farm. The owner shown us how to grow the seeds. In his farm there are ten different typesof seeds: lettuce, fruit plants and herbs. Also, he told us that insects and the weeds destroy his farm. Weeds are the things that you don’t want. EX: In the farm have the grass that grows, the weeds is the grass because the farmer doesn’t want that to grow in their farm. New technology is that they cover the soil by the plastic because when we put the compost and the water will not go away. Compost is made out of the animals poo mixed with soil and rice husks. The second trip we went to Natural garden store. In that shop sell vegetables, snacks, wine and ingredients. The owner had taught us how to find where the food came from. The owner said that some of his fruits, vegetable and cookies are bought from France, America, Thailand, North America, Singapore, Germany and local. He has own farm in Kampong Speu and at Kampong Som. The third trip we went to University Agriculture. In there we learned about hydroponics. The guide told us that hydroponic is the new technology in Cambodia. Hydroponics means growing on the water. At there we saw lots of lettuce that grows on the water. The last trip we went to Rice Mill. We learned about the different rice in Cambodia. Also, we learned the difference between brown rice and white rice and how both of this rice is good for us.

As we’re about halfway through the month of July, I think this is probably an important subject to address. Our area is beginning to experience consecutive days of 90+ degrees of heat, which even the hardiest lawns can be stressed by. Below are a few tips to keep your lawn looking tip top through the rest of summer, and prevent from lawn burnout. Raise The Cutting Height On Your Mower Deck If the lawn is being mowed at any less than 3 inches right now, I would bet serious money it’s going to burn out before the fall. It’s very easy to tell which lawns are being cut at a proper height, and which ones are not. The picture below is of a lawn we take care of from less than a week ago. The color of the lawn has a nice dark green color, and minimal yellow spots. Yellow spots are a sign the lawn is stressed. This could be because of a number of reasons such as dull mower blades, cutting too short, or a lawn treatment that killed weeds and left yellow spots. If you are not sure of the height of your mower blade, simply take a ruler and measure from the ground to the bottom of the blade and make sure it’s at least 3 inches. Even on commercial lawn mowers like we have, when the decks are assembled onto the mower, the height of the mower is almost never the same as where the pin says the height is. For instance, on our Gravely mower, we know the actual cut height is a quarter of an inch lower than where the pin says it’s located. So if we are cutting a lawn at 3.5 inches, we set the mower to 3.75 inches because the deck leveling isn’t perfect. Watering The Lawn (If Necessary) So far we’ve had an abundance of rain, but July and August in Pennsylvania can be drought city. Lawns need at least one good watering per week. A solid rain really allows for maximum absorption and will prevent lawn burnout. The best time to water a lawn is in the morning before the sun has completely risen. This is because watering a lawn while the sun is fully risen will waste a good amount of water to evaporation. Watering at night is good, but can be an issue with lawn mold and fungus’s. Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades Keeping your mower blades sharp is one of the best tips a lawn care company can offer. The above picture shows blades of grass cut with dull and sharp lawn mower blades. If your lawn looks like the picture on the left, you are causing a lot of stress on your lawn, which is especially dangerous in the summer. On the right is how blades of grass should look after it was mowed. If you are mowing the lawn yourself, I’d recommend sharpening your blades now since we are about half way through the season. This will keep your property nice and healthy for the rest of the year and help to avoid lawn burnout. At our company, we sharpen and replace blades every week because of the volume we do, and because of the quality of cut. Professional lawn companies change blades frequently for this exact reason It’s easy to spot a lawn that was being cut with dull blades, you’ll see uncut blades of grass, and a light green hew to the lawn that will turn the lawn yellow if the issue is not addressed. There are a number of “How To” videos on Youtube for sharpening mower blades, or take them a local hardware store. Consistent Mowing Schedule Frequent mowing (weekly) is required for all healthy lawns. Waiting too long between lawn cuts is a recipe for disaster. You never want to “Tomahawk” a lawn (chop off more than one third of each blade) because you’ll kill it. Also when grass grows too long without being mowed, it’ll become yellow above the soil line and begin to die off. Avoiding Lawn Burnout Conclusion Hopefully this article was enlightening and you will share it with your friends! Keep those lawns nice and healthy this summer!!

Abstract：In this paper, vegetable fields and adjacent grain fields in different cinnamon areas were selected as the research objects. The main physical and chemical nutrient traits of different Soil layers were studied by field investigation and sampling analysis. The results showed that the soil pH values of vegetable fields in different areas were lower than those of the adjacent Grain fields, the electrical conductivities in the former were than those in the latter. Soil nutrient contents in vegetable fields, such as organic matter, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn, were higher than those in adjacent grain fields. The primary cause was increased fertilizers used by farmers in vegetable production. All the determined soil nutrient decreased a soil depth increased. The coefficient variation of available phosphorus was the largest, and pH was the smallest. As distinct crop types were planted in different regions, soil nutrient supply capacities also showed greater differences So it is suggested that fertilization should be carried out according to the target crop yield as nutrient Requirements and regional soil nutrient supplies, which could reduce nutrient loss into environment.

In the heart of the Amazon rainforest, where biodiversity thrives and nature reveals its most intricate secrets, a fascinating topic has captured the attention of scientists and enthusiasts alike: the world of amazonian spores. These microscopic entities, particularly the spores from various Amazonian mushrooms, hold a treasure trove of possibilities that might just revolutionize how we view medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. The Amazon rainforest, often referred to as the “lungs of the Earth,” is not just a vast expanse of greenery. It is a complex, interwoven ecosystem where every organism plays a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of life. Among these organisms, mushrooms stand out for their unique abilities and contributions. However, it’s not just the mushrooms themselves that are of interest but the spores they release. These amazonian mushroom spores are akin to seeds, carrying the genetic blueprint of the fungi and ensuring the continuation of their species. So, why are these spores drawing so much attention from the scientific community and beyond? For starters, their resilience and adaptability are nothing short of astonishing. Spores can survive in extreme conditions, from the high humidity and dense vegetation of the Amazon to the more controlled environments of laboratories around the world. This resilience opens up a plethora of research opportunities, particularly in the fields of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. One of the most promising aspects of research involves the potential medicinal properties of these spores. The Amazonian mushroom spores are believed to contain compounds that could lead to breakthroughs in treating diseases that have long plagued humanity. Imagine a future where the cure for certain cancers or autoimmune diseases lies in the microscopic spores that have been thriving unnoticed in the Amazon for millennia. The possibilities are as vast as the rainforest itself. Moreover, these spores could revolutionize agriculture. In an era where sustainable farming practices are more crucial than ever, the role of fungi, facilitated by their spores, in enhancing soil fertility and plant health cannot be overstated. By understanding and harnessing the symbiotic relationships between these spores, plants, and their environments, we could pave the way for more sustainable and productive agricultural practices. However, the exploration of amazonian spores is not without its challenges. The Amazon rainforest is under threat from deforestation, mining, and other human activities that endanger its biodiversity. Every time a portion of the rainforest is destroyed, we lose not only trees but potentially groundbreaking scientific discoveries that could have been made from its unique flora and fauna. In conclusion, the tiny, often overlooked amazonian mushroom spores could hold the keys to significant advancements in medicine, agriculture, and environmental conservation. As we continue to explore and understand these spores, we must also remember the importance of preserving the natural habitat that sustains them. The Amazon rainforest is not just a treasure trove of biodiversity; it is a critical ally in our quest for a sustainable future. By protecting it, we are safeguarding a world of potential that could benefit generations to come.

Your garden is a space where your favorite plants mix and you would like to multiply them to take advantage of them? Did you know that such an operation is possible thanks to the cutting technique? The latter consists in giving birth to a new plant from a stem taken from the original plant. Ophélie, gardening coach, shows you how to cut your plants. Follow his advice, on video! Watch the video Cut your cutting As an example, Ophélie performs a cutting operation on a tree ivy. Obviously, his advice also applies to similar plants. First, select a relatively new stem long enough to be planted in a pot. Section it cleanly using a good pruner that you have taken care to disinfect before so as not to spread disease on the young shoots. Once you have your cuttings, cut the leaves close to the stem for almost the entire length. Only a few leaves should remain on top. Normally, you should have several nodes, at the base of which the roots will be able to develop once in the ground. Plant your cutting To plant your cutting, it is advisable to use a dibber. It will facilitate the operation and will not damage the rod. Immerse the latter in the soil until the first leaf. All you have to do is tamp down lightly, and water regularly. To maximize your chances of success, do not hesitate to make several cuttings. You now know how to cut your outdoor plants. Thanks to Ophélie's advice, multiply your favorite plants without going to a garden center, and beautify your garden to make it a warm and friendly space.

Eleven years ago we started with three or four of these. Now we have to thin them out because they grow like weeds. They are good for back rows of beds or circles in a big garden. They are also very drought tolerant.

Are you dreaming of a bountiful backyard filled with fresh, homegrown fruit? Growing fruit trees doesn’t have to be a high-maintenance endeavor. With the right selection of low-maintenance fruit trees, you can enjoy a fruitful harvest while minimizing the effort required for care and maintenance. In this blog post, we’ll introduce you to some of the best low-maintenance fruit trees that you can grow in your yard, even if you’re not an experienced gardener. 1. Apple Trees Apples are a classic fruit that many people enjoy. Fortunately, apple trees can be low-maintenance if you choose disease-resistant varieties. Look for apple tree species such as “Liberty,” “Honeycrisp,” or “Golden Delicious.” These are less susceptible to common apple tree diseases, reducing the need for frequent spraying and maintenance. 2. Fig Trees Fig trees are known for their hardiness and minimal care requirements. They thrive in various climates and can tolerate drought conditions. All they need is a sunny spot and well-draining soil. Regular pruning is optional, and they often bear fruit twice a year. 3. Pear Trees Pear trees, especially European pear varieties like “Bartlett” and “Anjou,” are relatively easy to maintain. They have fewer pest problems compared to other fruit trees and require minimal pruning. Make sure to choose dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties to make harvesting more accessible. 4. Peach Trees Peach trees offer delicious rewards with little effort. They do require some pruning to keep their shape and improve air circulation, but they generally need less maintenance than apples or cherries. Choose peach tree varieties adapted to your region for the best results. 5. Cherry Trees Cherry trees can be low-maintenance if you opt for sour cherry varieties like “Montmorency” or “Meteor.” Sour cherries tend to be less prone to diseases and pests compared to sweet cherries. Just ensure they get enough sunlight and good drainage. 6. Persimmon Trees Persimmon trees are remarkably self-reliant. They can tolerate various soil types and have minimal pest problems. Persimmons are also quite ornamental, adding beauty to your yard in addition to their delicious fruit. 7. Kiwi Vines If you have space for a trellis, consider growing kiwi vines. They are relatively low-maintenance once established. Kiwi vines need regular pruning to keep them in check, but they’re generally hardy and produce an abundance of fruit. 8. Mulberry Trees Mulberry trees are known for their adaptability and resilience. They can grow in a wide range of soils and are relatively pest-resistant. Their fruit is not only tasty but also nutritious. Tips for Low-Maintenance Fruit Tree Care - Choose disease-resistant varieties when possible. - Plant fruit trees in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. - Apply mulch to help with moisture retention and reduce weed growth. - Water consistently but avoid overwatering, as most fruit trees prefer slightly dry conditions. - Prune as needed to maintain shape and improve air circulation. - Protect against pests with natural solutions like neem oil or insecticidal soaps. Growing fruit trees in your yard can be a rewarding and low-maintenance endeavor, provided you choose the right varieties and follow some basic care guidelines. These low-maintenance fruit trees not only provide you with delicious, fresh fruit but also add natural beauty and value to your property. So, whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just getting started, consider planting these fruit trees for a delightful and hassle-free harvest in your own backyard.

Neither Ewan nor I could sleep this morning so we watched sunrise instead...it is now going to be rather long day, but a great start nonetheless. Only 17 days until the summer solstice and the days start to become shorter again, so I guess it is a good idea to make the most of it. I have started a vegetable patch, I find it really healing working in and with nature. Long may it last. I am reminded of this quote from "The Prophet" by Kahil Gibran: “You work that you may keep pace with the earth, the sound of the earth, for to be idle is to be a stranger to the seasons and to step out of life’s procession”. Enjoy the sunshine and the long summer evenings.

Every bite of food we'll eat today is because a farmer or rancher woke up before dawn, put on his boots and got to work. Florida's farmers are among the hardest working and most productive in the world. Florida's 48,000 farms and ranches produce 300 different commodities and add $120 billion annually to Florida's economy. Every time we chop, boil, barbecue or bake, there is a farmer to thank for the meal that results. As a small show of support, I hope you will join me today in signing our thank you card to Florida's farmers and ranchers.

It is an important component of global carbon cycles and helps us identify net sources and sinks of CO2, a greenhouse gas, among different land uses and ecosystems. As part of his dissertation research through the University of Florida, David Godwin sought to determine the effects of fire return interval on soil respiration. Part of his study used the Stoddard Fire Plots, burned at different fire return intervals since 1960, on Tall Timbers’ property. Specifically, he measured soil respiration year-round for two years in plots burned every year, burned every two years, and unburned for over 40 years. To measure soil respiration, he inserted PVC “collars”, measuring about a foot in diameter (Figure 1), into the ground, so that a CO2 detection device (soil respiration chamber, Figure 2), could be used to sample all of the CO2 rising vertically within the walls of the collar. David’s results showed that soil respiration rates were significantly lower in the two frequent fire treatments than in the unburned treatment plots, presumably because of lower activity of burn plots’ microorganisms. The study included data provided by the Fire Ecology Program showing that the lower rates of soil respiration in the frequently burned plots correspond to higher total soil carbon in those plots, attributable to lower decomposition rates and accumulation of organic matter. These results are also consistent with work done by Florida A&M University showing carbon turnover (decomposition and replacement) rates in burned plots to be less than half that of unburned Stoddard Plots. Temperature also directly influenced soil respiration from month to month, reflecting its positive influence on cellular activity of microorganisms and plants, but temperature did not explain the differences among burn treatments. Results of the study support a growing body of literature suggesting that frequent burning results in organic matter accumulation that keeps a certain amount of carbon out of the atmosphere. Although carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere through combustion of biomass during burns, about the same amount of carbon is fixed through photosynthesis by the rapidly re-growing plants during the following fire-free interval. Results of this study were recently published in Forests, 2017 vol. 8, doi 10.3390/f8080274 with advisors Leda Kobziar and Kevin Robertson. Figure 1.

Brain Dropping #63 Wild Fermentation – or Making Sauerkraut. Yesterday, Friday, October 3, the kind of crystal clear Fall day mythologized by Vermont Life magazine to lure big spending, leaf-peepers to the Green -Turning-Orange and Gold- Mountains, I drove along Chester Arthur Road (21st President of the United States) to the Flack Family Farm to help with chopping up cabbage to make sauerkraut. The landscape of rolling pastures and hayfields opened up before me toward Mount Mansfield, accompanied by a harpsichord toccata by J.S. Bach on Vermont Public Radio. When I pulled into the driveway a lively group of volunteers was already at work quartering soccer ball sized cabbages and feeding the shredder hopper – very labor intensive. In the Spring Doug Flack had planted over four thousand cabbages in a field prepared, according to the principles of Bio-dynamic farming, with organic fertilizer and vital trace minerals, especially boron. Most soils in Vermont have been depleted of these minerals by conventional farming methods including the growing of GMO corn treated with the herbicides Atrazine and Monsanto’s Roundup, creating crops which are nutritionally deficient. Some agronomists have called it a country-wide nutritional famine Boron is critical for the growing of cabbages that are tasty and mold free. There have been years past when we cabbage-choppers spent too much time cutting away unsightly grey mold. The other day, in cutting the cabbage heads, I found not one instance of mold. I asked Doug about it and he told me that he finally got the boron content right. That also accounted for the delicious sweetness of the cabbage and the unique flavor of Flack Family Farm Sauerkraut. Boron strengthens the cell wall of all plants and is necessary for soil vitality. It is important not only for cabbages but for humans – it helps build strong bones, is used in treating osteoarthritis, building muscles, raising testosterone levels and improving thinking skills. After the shredding the cabbage is put into fifty-five gallon drums and pounded with a heavy oak pestle releasing the liquid until it covers the top surface of the shredded cabbage. The drums are then sealed and weighted. It is at this point that the bacterial alchemy begins an “enzymatically controlled anaerobic transformation of an organic compound.” It’s called “wild fermentation” because the triggering bacteria are everywhere in the air we breathe. Before modern refrigeration wild fermentation was the most common method for preserving food i.e. – yogurt, clabbered milk, prosciutto ham, cheeses, almost all vegetables. After several weeks, the time element is variable depending on the temperature and other ambient qualities, the sauerkraut is ready to be eaten. Sauerkraut is an excellent pro-biotic food rich in Vitamin C and “good Bacteria” for the gut. The enzymes and/or bacteria produced during fermentation break down proteins and carbohydrates making them more accessible for the body to digest and absorb. During the long Vermont winter, a group of us meet almost weekly to stuff and label jars of Flack Family Farm Sauerkraut amid opinionated chatter about politics, art, philosophy, quantum physics and the Higgs Boson or “God Particle.” We call these meetings, tongue-in-cheek, THE SAUERKRAUT SEMINAR. You may audit the seminar for free, but call ahead – spaces are limited.

Last month, I found what I thought was a weed growing near my rose bush. It turned out to be a tomato plant I didn’t seed. Without love, intentional water and care, the tomato plant flourished. Meanwhile, a garden I intentionally planted died. That tomato plant taught me a lesson about the subconscious negative impact social media has on the mind. One day, not too long ago, I spied what I thought was a weed growing near my rose bush. It looked familiar and even had a scent that reminded me of a tomato plant. Something I didn’t realize I knew. When the weed started blooming flowers and growing little green round things, I knew it was a tomato plant, but I was confused by how it got there. I never planted tomato seeds, anywhere. It turned out our neighbors had grown tomatoes on the other side of the wall sometime ago. They tore them out last year and replanted elsewhere. But that one tomato plant found it’s way under the wall and on our side, somehow. Maybe a seed dropped last year and laid dormant until now. Who knows. But what fascinates me the most about the tomato plant is that it grew just fine without extra care. No water. No organic soil. No egg shells. No textbook. No advice from a popular social media tomato or gardening expert. Just old-school tomatoes growing in an old-school way. Therein lies the lesson One thought led to another and brought to mind a conversation I’d had with my dad a few years ago when I first expressed interest in starting my own garden, and planting new grass. My dad has a green thumb. He cultivated an amazing garden when we were kids and long before it was cool to do so. He still gardens and has the greenest patch of grass in his neighborhood. One day I asked my dad about things I’d heard or read online about developing green grass and gardens. He said, “Don’t always listen to the experts. They are in their business to make money, so sometimes, they complicate things to make you think you need them—or their books—when you don’t. Like everything else, trust your gut.” I think he’s right. The last time I tried to plant a garden, I did a lot of research. I took tips from one person and another and another. When it came time to seed and grow, I felt lost and confused. That never happened to me before I got caught up in social media. That’s when I had a lightbulb 💡 moment. Social media has given us opportunities to connect, learn and share. But it’s also been a curse. Having access to so much information has inhibited us from learning on our own as we go, and it has interfered with our ability to trust our instincts. We rarely do anything without consulting the masses. That tomato plant made me realize while there are times when we need a teacher or an expert to guide us about a subject, there are plenty of times we don’t. Plenty of times I don’t need to research. That was a freeing thought! That simple tomato plant growing by itself helped me to see I can plant a garden that will succeed. But I need to keep the experts and perfect gardener’s out of my head unless I actually do need help. The next time I want to do something, I’m doing minimal research, trusting my gut and seeing how it goes. (Unless it has to do with electricity. Then I’m calling in the experts and so should you 🤣). Do you find yourself “Googling” everything before you do it or turning to social media? Because I was inspired to garden by one social media gardener in particular, I do think when used properly, the experts can inspire us. So, in case you need inspiration or gardening insight, next week, I’ll share the skillful gardeners who inspire people in healthy ways. Until then, stay safe. Be well. Pursue happy.

Four of the exhibits especially interested me: inspia, European Index for Sustainable Productive Agriculture; Sierra Club’s Youth Coalition; Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations with Scout and Guide Programs; and a corner of the exhibition devoted to “Ocean Under Stress” coordinated by a number of NGOs. As a gardener, I was especially interested in inspia’s Best Management Practices (BMPs) concerning farming. All these ideas can be used by gardeners around the world as they provide a new attitude toward farming. Some gardeners are already modifying their gardening habits to to use the same BMPs as farmers. These practices all focus on soil, with this year, 2015, being the International Year of Soils. First, the practice emphasizes no soil disturbance. Just recently I was working with a group of gardeners in the US trying to rid their city garden of a most invasive weed. It’s very difficult to think that this can be accomplished without disturbing the soil. Instead of pulling weeds, as has been the approach, we cut these weeds near their roots. Hopefully, the plant will die a natural death. Second, the approach requires that the soil always be planted. This results in crop rotation, and a permanent soil cover. By planting wildflowers or rye or other ground covers when the land is not being used for farming (or gardening), birds, pollinators, and other species will also reap the benefits. The more organic matter in the soil, the more carbon storage. This step is also the most controversial one because, when the next crop needs to be planted, if the cover crop has not died back, it will need to be killed using a pesticide. Farmers, of course, know the BMP for pesticides and will use as little as possible. However, this step is worrisome. Gardeners concerned about the environment try to use as little pesticide as possible. The final step in this approach (although each step can be looked at in different ways with different processes) is making sure that crop rotation occurs. Again, farmers are well aware of the need for rotating crops. Some crops provide more nitrogen to the soil. Other crops provide potassium and minor chemicals. This approach results in preservation of water quality because of less erosion and no runoff. Also, as mentioned previously, it can lead to biodiversity. Finally, the impact upon the soil is quite positive. Decreased fuel consumption is seen because the field do not need plowing with this method. This process results in sustainable agriculture. Sierra Club’s Youth Coalition A second booth interested me because youth were there talking about climate change. The Sierra Youth Coalition was staffed by several young adults ready and willing to talk about climate change. Sierra Club has four major concerns about climate change which call for more stringent goals than do the present negotiations. First, instead of the goals being reached by 2100, Sierra calls for the year 2050. Second, instead of a 2 degree limit, Sierra Club wishes to have a 1.5 degree limit. This group also wishes to make sure that “equity and justice” are included within the text (as opposed to the preamble). Similarly, and finally “loss and damage” should be addressed, not just mitigation and adaptation. What struck me about this booth is the ability of these young people to discuss the climate change issues with conviction and with knowledge. No adult was nearby; these youth have developed strong voices at an early age. This commitment from the young is essential as the planet faces climate change issues. Scouts and Guides Another program featured in these booths is the Scout and Guide missions. Two young men were staffing this booth although they assured me that both boys and girls were included in the scouting programs. What was especially interesting is the Climate Change Challenge Badge that is an option within these two similar organizations. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations worked together with Youth and United Nations Global Alliance to provide a wonderful book outlining the knowledge and behaviors needed to earn this badge. The book’s sections provide insight into the badge’s goals: Climate Is Life; Causes of Climate Change; Impacts of Climate Change; Solutions to Climate Change; and finally Take Action. Again, the emphasis is on youth understanding the complexity of climate change and working to find solutions in their own and their community’s life. Oceans Under Stress One entire corner, at least six “booths”, focused on issues of acidification of our oceans. Having recently seen two videos that Phillipe Cousteau made and showed side by side, highlighting the degradation of the ocean in the last twenty years, I was interested in getting more specific information on this topic. Cousteau’s films were made, the first around 1985 and the second around 2008, of the exact same spot on Looe Key, part of a major barrier reef off the Florida Keys. I have snorkeled there often. The contrast in the two visions of the same place were astounding. First, the coral is dying, succumbing to coral bleaching. Second, the number of fish had decreased tremendously. Also, the number of species of fish had also changed radically. Cousteau pointed out that we have lost 49% of fish species world wide. At the exhibit here in Paris, specifics were given as to the stressors of ocean, including warming, acidification, and deoxygenation. Both the causes and results of each of these is examined as well as the impacts and feedback to climate. The information needs distribution and these ocean-related agencies are educating the public through this booth. In sum, each visitor to COP21 needs to spend at least one day acquainting him/herself with the booths within the Green Zone. People have come from around the world to address specific issues, to educate others, and to share their experiences with the visitor. Take advantage of their knowledge and enjoy a day wandering the Green Zone.

Internet of Things-based Agricultural Land Monitoring Keywords:Arduino Uno, NodeMCU ESP8266, Internet of Things, Agriculture, Monitoring Agricultural Land Agriculture is an industrial sector that produces raw materials such as rice, corn, and agricultural products. In the current era, there should be no problem if there is a food shortage because society, industry, and education do not make a real contribution to supporting the agricultural industry. The state also needs good agricultural land, so that the state can fulfill the needs of its people. Without good agriculture, a country will not be able to meet the needs of its people. Modern society today is not or is rarely concerned with agriculture. Agriculture is carried out only by providing fertilizer, water, and land, paying attention to the quality of the agricultural land. One of the problems of declining agricultural production is crop failure. One of the reasons island for agriculture. Soil is the most important part of the world of agriculture. If the land is not cultivated then the land is difficult to become an ideal place for agriculture. The Internet of Things can be used as a solution to problems by tilling the soil and monitoring soil conditions. In conditions in the dry season, soil moisture needs to be done by water. In the rainy season, the land should not be flooded, let alone submerged and flooded. In order to maintain the balance of moisture and waterlogged soil, the Internet of Things is a solution for monitoring and managing agricultural land. Internet of Things is a device that can communicate with each other from one device to another, such as sensors and actuators. Good land cultivation makes agricultural land fertile. Agricultural land processing is maximized by adding a monitoring system for agricultural land using a micro-controller Arduino Uno, NodeMCU ESP8266, several sensors, and integrated devices. The purpose of this research is to make a prototype that is useful for monitoring agricultural land Ambarwari, A., Dewi Kania Widyawati, & Anung Wahyudi. (2021).

Jo & Pauline Slegers Fresh out of Agricultural college in 1987, Jo Slegers built his first greenhouse and started growing Boston lettuce. Pauline became involved in the management of the business with Jo shortly after they were married in 1991. Over 30 years they have evolved in many ways; from changes in growing techniques to diversifying in over 30 products. Determined to perfect their products to meet a competitive market. They now carry four major product lines in their greenhouses: Micros Greens, Greens, Lettuces, and Herbs. Jo and Pauline Slegers have devoted their lives to Slegers Greens and enjoy the lifestyle of living on a family farm with their 3 sons and their dog, Phoebe. In 2004, we officially became organically certified, after many years of interest in organic growing, and many trials to find the perfect technique that would be effective and compatible with our system. We believe that: Our organic Greens are healthy for consumers to eat. Our way of producing our greens is safe and conscious of the environment. That we have a healthy workplace for our staff and family to work and live in. Slegers Greens is located in Strathroy, Ontario, just minutes off of the 402 corridor. We are a 25-minute drive to London and only a 2-hour drive to Toronto and Windsor. Being a small family farm we appreciate selling our greens locally. We sell our greens to wholesalers, restaurants, specialty retailers, health food stores, and organic box sale customers throughout Ontario. We also sell our greens at our farm gate retail store for customers in our local community to purchase directly from us. All of our staff live in Strathroy and the surrounding area which supports our local community's economy. Our proximity to you, coupled with the fact that our greens are sold living, means that our freshness and quality are unsurpassed! In order to meet the requirements to receive and keep organic certification status we continuously improve our processes and develop new growing environments, but we don't stop there. We stay ahead of the curve by continually innovating. We're always looking for better ways to grow and package our greens. For over a generation of experience we have created a huge repertoire of growing knowledge. We however; still appreciate the wisdom's of traditional growing techniques to help us keep focused on the basics of growing healthy food. You can always look to us first to see what's new and exciting in the organic greens category. Our goal is to grow the best possible greens for you to enjoy!

Our farmers know that cows do best when they can harvest their own feed from the pastures around them. Our cows eat a complex diet of native and managed plants and grasses that changes throughout the seasons. Much of the year, the herds harvest their own feed from the farms’ pastures, choosing different feed depending on the weather, the cow’s health, the land on the farm, how close the cow is to giving birth, and the time of year. Pastures may contain just one or two, or up to dozens of species of plants and grasses. Thus, our cows’ diets range from fresh pasture grasses such as indiangrass or switchgrass in early summer, to orchardgrass, ryegrass, or clover in mid-summer. Most surprising cow food choice in fall? Turnips! During the winter months when the ground is frozen solid in the Midwest, our farmers provide their cows with stored forage, typically grown on the farm or purchased from nearby farms. Depending on the farmer and the situation, winter feed may include one, some, or all of the following organic foods: roasted soybeans (for protein); corn (for energy); barley, hay, haylage, balealge, silage, or wheat.

Unlike conventional commercial varieties, specialty coffee represents a higher standard in terms of quality, cultivated under specific conditions and subjected to more precise production processes. What makes specialty coffee special? From my point of view, the distinction of a coffee as truly “specialty coffee” resides in its capacity to fulfill each of the following ten fundamental points: - Focus on quality: Specialty coffee beans are grown and processed with an exceptional commitment to quality and excellence in taste. - Specific geographic origin: These beans come from particular geographical regions, contributing to their uniqueness and variety of flavors. - Cultivated under favorable conditions: They are grown in specific environments that offer optimal conditions for their growth, influencing their flavor and final quality. - Careful harvesting: The beans are harvested meticulously, selecting only ripe beans to ensure maximum quality. - Detailed processing: Beans undergo meticulous production processes, such as washed, natural, or honey, influencing their flavor characteristics. - Specialized evaluation: The quality of specialty coffee is assessed through rigorous tastings, where aspects like aroma, taste, body, and acidity are analyzed. - Rigorous scoring: Beans must reach a minimum score threshold, usually around 80 out of 100 (SCA rating), to be considered specialty coffee. - Focus on sustainable practices: These beans originate where sustainable and ethical agricultural practices are prioritized. - Highlighting regional characteristics: The specialty coffee category seeks to highlight and celebrate the unique characteristics of each producing region. - Complex sensory experience: The focus on quality and distinctive characteristics of specialty coffee offers a deeper and more enriching sensory experience for coffee enthusiasts. Each element defines the path to excellence in coffee, differentiating between a common cup and an exceptional sensory experience. The role of SCA in specialty coffee The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) sets rigorous quality standards for specialty coffee at all supply chain stages, from production to service in the cup. These standards encompass cultivation, harvesting, processing, roasting, preparation, and coffee tasting. The SCA ensures that specialty coffee meets these standards to guarantee an exceptional experience for consumers. The SCA uses a scoring system and standards to determine if coffee is considered a “specialty.” These standards focus on various aspects of coffee, from production to tasting. The cupping score is a subjective evaluation of coffee’s taste, aroma, acidity, body, and other sensory attributes. The SCA sets a minimum score threshold (usually 80 out of 100) to consider coffee as specialty. The higher the score, the higher the perceived quality of the coffee. Category 1 of defects These are severe defects that generally indicate a significant problem with the quality of the coffee beans, and SCA demands their absence: - Black beans: Beans darkened due to abnormal fermentation. - Fermented beans: Beans with unpleasant odors and flavors due to fermentation. - Dry cherry: An underdeveloped coffee cherry that dried on the tree. - Fungi: The presence of fungi that can alter the taste and safety of the coffee. - Foreign matter: Any foreign object not part of the coffee bean, such as stones or dirt. - Beans with severe defects can include beans with significant damage, such as holes. Category 2 of defects These are less severe defects that generally do not indicate such serious problems with the quality of the coffee. SCA allows a maximum of 5 defects of this category in a sample: - Broken coffee beans - Immature beans - Wrinkled beans - Floating beans - Beans with husks, parchment, shell, or pulp - Crystallized beans - Discolored beans - Flat or spongy beans What is the specialty coffee production process? The specialty coffee production process involves several key stages to maximize coffee’s quality and unique characteristics. Here’s an overview of this process: - Variety and Region Selection: Coffee growers carefully choose coffee varieties and geographic regions for cultivation. Some varieties and terroirs are known for producing distinct flavors. - Cultivation and Selective Harvesting: Careful cultivation is practiced, often following sustainable agricultural practices. Selective harvesting is performed, collecting only ripe beans to ensure maximum quality. - Processing: Harvested beans undergo various processing methods, such as washed, natural, or honey. Each method can affect the final flavor and characteristics of the coffee. - Drying: Processed beans are carefully dried to reduce moisture to the appropriate level and prevent flavor defects. - Depulping: During this stage, the outer layers of the bean are removed to expose the green coffee inside. This can be done by machines or manually. - Sorting and Cupping: Beans are sorted and subjected to cupping, in which experts evaluate aspects like aroma, flavor, acidity, body, and balance. Beans meeting established quality standards are considered specialty coffee. - Roasting: Selected beans are precisely roasted to highlight their unique flavors and aromas. Roasting is an art itself and can significantly influence the final flavor profile. - Packaging and Transport: Proper packaging is essential to preserve the freshness and quality of coffee during transportation and storage. Packaging with a one-way valve protects against light, air, and moisture to safeguard coffee flavors and aromas. The specialty coffee process extends from meticulous variety and region selection to a series of carefully designed stages to enhance the quality, flavors, and unique characteristics that define specialty coffee. Evolution of specialty coffee worldwide The evolution of specialty coffee has been remarkable in the coffee industry over the past decades. It has shifted from a relatively small niche to a global trend, transforming how coffee is grown, processed, prepared, and enjoyed worldwide. Here’s a summary of each key aspect of this evolution: Origins and recognition By the late 20th century, the first signs of increased appreciation for coffee quality emerged. Coffee growers and roasters started paying more attention to the beans’ origin, variety, and production process. This gradually led to the recognition that certain beans and regions could produce exceptional flavors and aromas. Formation of organizations The establishment of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) in 1982 was a significant milestone in the specialty coffee movement. SCA set quality standards, promoted education and training, and helped spread interest in high-quality coffee worldwide. Focus on sustainability As interest in specialty coffee grew, so did awareness about the importance of sustainable practices in coffee production. Consumers and producers began to value responsible farming and fair trade. Rise of artisanal roasting Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, numerous artisanal roasters emerged worldwide, allowing roasters to experiment with unique roasting profiles and highlight individual bean characteristics. Focus on cupping and education Cupping became an essential tool for evaluating and comparing coffee flavor profiles. Cupping training and education became more accessible, enabling more people to appreciate and better understand the complexity of coffee. Third wave movement “The third Wave of coffee“, which emerged in the 2000s, emphasized coffee origin and process even more. Baristas became experts in preparation and presentation, and consumers began considering specialty coffee an artisanal experience similar to wine. Diversification of origins and profiles New producing regions with unique characteristics and flavors were discovered and promoted as demand for specialty coffee grew. Consumers began to explore a wider variety of origins and flavor profiles. Direct trade coffee The direct connection between producers and consumers was strengthened with the emergence of direct trade models and long-term relationships, allowing for greater transparency and better conditions for coffee growers.

Hemp production has soared in the past year. The number of licensed producers and acres of cultivation space in the top 10 hemp-growing states grew by 140 percent. The number of licensed hemp producers rose from 609 in 2016 to over 1,200 in 2017. Additionally, the number of acres licensed for hemp cultivation also rose from 16,377 acres in 2016 to almost 40,000 acres in 2017. States such as Kentucky, Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, and Vermont are the top 10 hemp producing states in the U.S. The Reason for the Spike in Production Increasing acceptance for hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) oil, in addition to relaxed state level regulations allowed U.S. hemp production to surge in 2017. This increase is only the beginning for the fledgling hemp industry in the United States. Since full-fledged hemp cultivation is still illegal at the federal level, the plant that produces hemp and CBD oil can only be grown in states that have an established hemp program. There are still lingering questions about the legality of hemp-based extracts, such as CBD oils. Farmers are also still learning the optimal growing processes. It is unclear the demand for products made from hemp grown in the U.S. However, CBD which is derived from hemp is soaring in popularity. Brightfield Group, a cannabis research firm, estimates that the demand for hemp-based products will increase from $291 million in 2017 to over $1.65 billion by 2021. This increase in demand has prompted U.S. farmers who have grown more traditional crops to look into growing hemp as a replacement for lower-valued crops such as cotton or alfalfa. Certain states have shown support to the fledgling industry by allowing more growers into their hemp programs and relaxing regulations to acreage limits. States that have shown increases in hemp production are set to cash in on the bull market of the next few years. More than half of the United States hemp production occurred in Colorado. Even though Kentucky has more licensed acres, Colorado has more acres in production, farmers who grow the crop, more CBD processors, and more opportunities for selling hemp plants. Colorado was the first state to legalize recreational marijuana and in 2012, farmers began to grow the crop for cultivation. Due to Kentucky’s well-suited growing climate, former tobacco farmers are taking a strong interest in hemp. The state’s willingness to experiment and invest in hemp processing and growing makes Kentucky a leader in the hemp growing industry. Kentucky has the most acres authorized for growing hemp in the nation at 12,800 acres. However, only 3,200 acres were planted in the bluegrass state. With a well-established network of hemp processors and growers, along with a new testing regime, Oregon has grown in its position in the hemp industry. With new laws on testing requirements that have been passed in 2017, Oregon hemp products have the same testing regulations as marijuana. This means that all hemp products that come from Oregon will be food-grade quality and pesticide and contaminant tested. As a future leader in hemp, North Dakota has more than 3,000 acres in active production. However, North Dakotas cold climate and recent drought have limited hemp’s potential to thrive. In addition to the natural determents to growing hemp in the state, high production costs and expensive seed costs that are higher than typical row crops, do not help entice farmers to grow hemp. Since 2016, Minnesota has allowed farmers to grow hemp. In fact, there is an abundance of wild hemp from World War II-era crops. With a climate similar to Canada, varieties already grown in the neighbor to the north are a natural fit for the state. Unfortunately, no hemp farmer has reported a profit as of yet. Processing delays, legal confusion, and natural pests make growing hemp difficult for many farmers. Governor Andrew Cuomo helped establish the hemp industry in New York in 2017 when he invited entrepreneurs to compete for development grants in excess of $5 million. These grants were a first in the nation. Most state programs are funded mostly by feeds paid by farmers, but New York’s decision to invest in promoting hemp cultivation and processing has allowed New York to be a frontrunner in the hemp industry. For a state once dominated by textile manufacturing and tobacco farming, officials in North Carolina see hemp as a natural fit for farmers. In 2017, North Carolina finished the growing season with more growers, acres, and processors than any other state in the first year of hemp production. The climate in Tennessee has created a challenge for hemp farmers. High humidity and a 50-plus inch per year rainfall makes it difficult to grow a plant that thrives in an arid climate. However, Tennessee hemp entrepreneurs are trying to develop strains for a damper climate. The state also has no legal restrictions in selling hemp products. The state also permits CBD extraction which is highly valuable. With the nation’s most lenient hemp regulations, Vermont’s latitude makes it easy for hemp cultivars that were developed in northern Europe and Canada. However, hemp producers may be under an entirely new set of guidelines as the state implements regulations for recreational marijuana. Nevada hemp farmers are selling their products as quickly as they can produce them. There is a booming demand for flower in CBD production. Prices of up to $350 per pound are being seen for quality, high-CBD varieties. This is almost 10 times what Colorado growers receive for midgrade hemp flower. In addition, Nevada growers are increasing the amount of acreage and processing equipment. Farmers in the state are hoping that they can cash in on the boom before states that have a better water supply and a milder climate overtake the market. Growers in Nevada are also expecting a challenge from California growers, so they are looking for new hemp uses in the industrial markets and animal feed. Although the market players are still unclear about the future of the hemp industry, industry entrepreneurs and policymakers are forging ahead and hopeful about the industry’s future.

Growing healthy plants begins with healthy soil. One of the best ways to create healthy soil is by adding compost and earthworm castings. At Northern Lakes Organics, you can purchase our worm castings or you can produce your own healthy soil amendment by composting at home. Composting reduces the amount of waste going to landfills, reduces your garbage bill and at the same time, produces an organic soil amendment your plants and soil need to be healthy. You can make your own organic compost by recycling your kitchen, lawn and garden waste with our selection of backyard compost bins and compost tumblers. Or, with our worm composting bins and composting worms, let the worms do the work and award you with their castings. Another great way to improve the health and vigor of your plants and soil is with SoilSoup. Soilsoup is a liquid compost made by brewing Worm Castings and Worm Compost in water along with a nutrient blend food source. The brewing process activates dormant microbes in the compost/castings and increases them substantially. A thin layer of SoilSoup from a watering can is equivalent to covering the entire treatment area with a high quality compost that is 2-3” thick!

French or Belgian Flax Linen: Which One is Better For Sleeping? We all know the benefits of sleeping in genuine, high-quality 100 per cent flax linen sheets. Compared to other materials like cotton or silk, linen is ultra-soft, durable, comfortable, allergen-free, highly absorbent and temperature regulating (so it’ll keep you warm during the cooler months and cool throughout the warmer months). Plus, it can transform any bedroom into a Pinterest-worthy space (with no ironing required). But now you’ve settled on purchasing linen over all other materials, you’re stumped with another dilemma: Belgian or French flax linen - which one is better? Flax is cultivated in many parts of the world, but the best flax grows along the famous Western Europe flax belt - a stretch of Europe that spans across Belgium, France and the Netherlands - so the main difference between Belgian and French linen is basically the country the flax originated from. To help you make the best decision on which one to invest in, here’s a full rundown on everything you need to know about the flax plant, how flax is made and the differences between Belgian and French flax linen. Flax linen is a plant-derived material (yes, it's actually considered a vegetable) that originates from flax or linum usitatissimum. The cellulose fibre in the stem of the flax plant can be harvested and then spun to produce flax linen or to harvest flax oil. This cellulose fibre - commonly known as a ‘bast fibre’ - is a fibre that is recovered from the inner bark of a plant, similar to how we extract hemp and rattan. How is flax made? Flax harvesting is a slow, time-consuming process—it takes roughly 100 days to produce flax linen from seed planting to harvesting. Flax needs to be shallowly planted, in damp soil and only grows in cool temperatures. Once it turns yellow or brown, the flax is ready to harvest. At this stage, the woody bark that contains the cellulose fibres is chemically retted or decomposed using water in order to retrieve the useful part of the plant. The flax plant is then squeezed, dried, combed and spun - a process through which the stronger or longer flax fibres - called line or dressed flax - are separated from the weak - called stricks. This separation is integral: the dressed flax will produce more luxurious, hardwearing linen. Finally, these dressed flax are spun and dyed to produce your bed linen—a costly process in time and labour that reaps the ultimate reward. What is French flax linen? The flax used to make French linen is grown in France, which has a cool climate that is favourable to growing this crop. French flax sowing occurs between mid-March and mid-April, and French farmers have been perfecting this sowing process for thousands of years. What makes French linen superior to others like damask, sheeting or plain-woven linen is that it’s durable, softens with age and doesn’t require much care. Here at Bed Threads, our signature flax is grown in France by registered farmers and suppliers, and is then turned into sets in China under ethical working conditions. If you’re a linen aficionado you’ll notice that our price points are incredibly attainable, too. Our view is simple: quality goods shouldn’t cost a fortune, and everyone should enjoy the luxury of a beautiful home. Moreover, all of our pieces are OEKO-TEX 100 Certified (so, no nasty chemicals in any of your Threads) and dyed with eco-friendly dyestuff. We're also 100 per cent carbon neutral and all our packaging is plastic-free, so you can feel good about your eco-friendly choice every time your head hits the pillow. What is Belgian flax linen? Belgium - in particularly Flanders, the westernmost area of the country - has become famous for its linen production. Although it’s called Belgian linen, the term refers to linen that is grown and woven across Europe (not specifically in Belgium). One thing to keep in mind is that there's a difference between 'Belgian linen' and 'Belgian flax linen' (also called 'European flax linen'). 'Belgian linen' is made from flax grown, processed, spun and woven into fabric in Europe; whereas 'Belgian flax linen' is made from flax grown in Europe but sent to China or India for further processing, spinning and weaving. Belgian linen crafted from 100 per cent natural linen has those same excellent qualities of breathability, durability, long-lasting and high absorbency like its French counterpart. Is Belgian or French flax linen better? Both Belgian and French flax linen are of superior quality, so regardless of which one you decide on, you can rest assured the two are harvested from the world’s famous flax belt. Since they are both regarded as superior linen fabrics, what you should be considering instead is whether your sheets are actually real. Beware of language like 'woven from' to be sure that what you’re getting is 100 per cent linen and not linen weave with cotton or hemp woven in. There are seven tell-tale signs that can separate the dupes from the real deal. Real flax linen will: - Have natural creases throughout the fabric - Get softer with every single wash - Be strong and durable, so they’ll last you years and years - Have ‘slubs’ - tiny little globules of imperfections dotted throughout the weave, which are naturally-occurring - Absorb water faster - Feel cool to touch, no matter the time of day - Have an even colour (no yellowing or unevenness in dye) You should also be mindful of the farming and production practices of the supplier (and business) from which you sourced your linen from - Are they are a sustainable business? Do they have ethical practices implemented? Is it eco-friendly? What is the best quality linen? As we’ve said, both Belgian and French flax linen are of superior quality - the real defining factor should be whether you’re actually buying 100 per cent real flax linen. When it comes to Bed Threads linen, you can sleep peacefully knowing your sheets will tick all of the boxes of high-quality and eco-friendly linen - and at an accessible price, without compromising on quality.

Today we learned how to plant a seed the proper way. Destiny and I are partners. I planted three types of seeds, radishes, marigolds, and sunflower seeds. Destiny and I had lots of fun. I got really messy with the soil, but at the same time it was really fun. That was my first time planting a seed. I never knew it was going to be this messy. I will tell you the proper way to plant a seed. - Get the seed you want to plant. - Dig a spot you want to put the seed in, but don’t dig it too deep because it will take longer for your plant to grow. - Bury the seed in the soil. - Then you get a little bit of water. - Then you pour it on the seed. - Eat it and enjoy. If it’s a flower, don’t eat it, just put it in your hair and you will look pretty. By Noemi Salas Our Plant Adventure You have to water the plants almost everyday, and when you water your plants, you have to be kind. You can grow food, flowers all kind of stuff. But, you need soil to plant your plants. You have to make sure not to get the leaves wet when you water, or they will die because of the sun will burn them. You can also plant radishes and other plants. When you plant your plants you have to make sure it has good soil and good plant food. Plants can in shapes and sizes. Yours can big or small, but it is a plant and plants are plants. I love plants because they keep me alive, and I love love love plants they are special. By Sophiah and Kayla Today we planted plants. It was messy, but worth it, and it’s fun. Emi and I planted radishes, sunflowers, and marigolds. Emi and I had lot’s of fun. Like I said, it was pretty fun and worth it. I am also going to tell you the steps for planting a plant. - You find a see you want to plant. - You dig a hole according to your plant instructions. - Put the seed in the hole. - Bury it. - Wet it a little. - Finally, let it grow. We went outside and planted plants. We planted radishes, sunflower seeds, lettuce and two different kind of beans and we planted our own classroom plants . We had lots of fun, so you should go do it and check it out. By Lilly and Anahi Today we planted plants like radishes, basil, and sunflower seeds. It is easy to plant. All you have to do is dig a hole. On the back of the seed packet it will tell you how big the hole has to be, then you put the seeds in the hole. When you plant something, you have to water it, but if you water the leaves, they will burn. By Alyssa and Alley We got to plant radishes and sunflowers and melons. It was exciting what we planted. They need soil, they also need water and sunlight. When they get planted, they need water right away. If you would like to see a few pictures of our freshly planted garden, watch the Animoto video below!

I love this idea! will have to try right away as i got those lettuce! Thanks a million! I will reblog this…this needs to go around..lol! 🙂 The best and most amazing thing about lettuce, besides eating the tender green leaves, is the amazing fact that if the bottom of the stump is saved and placed in water, regeneration and new growth will occur. Above is a photograph of three romaine ‘stumps’ in various levels of regrowth. All I did to achieve this miracle was place each piece in a half inch of water, check the water level daily, and marvel as the stump began to grow anew. I am growing the romaine in a basement window well, and that explains the VERY dirty window in the photo as it is below ground level. The setting for the lettuce doesn’t look nice, but it creates the perfect environment for regrowing leafy greens…cool and bright all day. Experiment yourself… View original post 69 more words

The mid section of our garden has always been referred to as an allotment but as the rest of the garden has come into play, especially under our Wartime Garden years, we have yearned to do something different with this 150 foot plus area. It is only 25 foot wide and some of this is lost to a hornbeam hedge that enshrines the entire length; there as a windbreak, which is needed on a hillside. This year we are tearing out all the paths, moving the utility shed, digging up the fruit bushes and creating one large area that we call the 'field'. It's a large area but means we can have longer rows of produce and more importantly change it from a four bed rotation model to a twelve bed one bringing in needed green manures, flowers and heavy duty crops that we can store. This has meant a heavy manuring schedule as we want to bring the whole garden into use this year, including a section by the house, earmarked for chickens. Part of using manure means knowing which crops use the most and Runner Beans are hungry crops.

SAN LORENZO IL PECORINO ABRUZZO 2018 Still little known outside of its homeland, the Pecorino grape has been grown in the central Italian regions of Marche and Abruzzo for centuries. The variety was nearly lost to extinction during the 1980s, but luckily some vines were found growing wild and local producers have been able to reintroduce Pecorino throughout its traditional heartlands. San Lorenzo was founded in 1890 and it is now in the capable hands of Natalino Crognaletti who represents the third generation of the family to make wine on the estate. Natalino farms the family’s 150 hectares in accordance with organic and biodynamic principles to produce the very finest raw ingredients possible. Natalino’s Il Pecorino is vinified in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and pure varietal character of the grape. On the nose there are uplifting aromas of lemon zest, honeysuckle and white peach while the first sip reveals a mouthwatering freshness, light body, and stone fruit and citrus flavours which linger on the tongue. The vibrancy of this wine makes it an excellent choice for a summer aperitif or to serve with fresh seafood, a fragrant Bouillabaisse, or spicy Asian salads and curries.

The other day, I stopped by a local farmers market expecting to pick up some Indiana grown sweet corn. I did not expect to see so much other delicious produce that I had to get. One of the first things that caught my eye was a pile of Sweet Banana Peppers. They are easily one of my favorite pizza and sandwich toppings. After purchasing a couple of pounds and getting them home, I knew they would make tasty pickles. What has been your favorite farmers market find? Pickled Sweet Banana Peppers - 2 cups white vinegar - 1 cups apple cider vinegar - 3/4 cup sugar - 1 tsp mustard seed - 1 tsp black peppercorns - 1 lb banana peppers - Bring the vinegar, sugar, mustard seed and peppercorns to a rolling boil. - Slice peppers into 1/4 inch disk and put into clean mason jar. - Pour brine over peppers so they are covered by a 1/2 inch of brine. - Wipe off the rim and put lid and ring on. - Leave for 1 week or longer to let peppers marinate

[As an explanatory note: Helen Browning OBE is Chief Executive of the Soil Association.] A few days ago, the Soil Association tweeted a message about the advantages of organic farming with respect to animal welfare. The short film attached to the tweet suggested that only organic cows were happy cows and that a mere 3% of cows in the UK were organic. By inference the tweet suggested that the rest had poorer welfare standards. The resulting explosion on Twitter from many farmers has caused the Soil Association to withdraw its tweet and apologise. The apology shown below is well-meaning; but when looked at closely, only serves to confuse the matter further. It talks about 80% of animals in the EU being reared in factory farms, where the original tweet was about UK farms. So we have confusion about what exactly is a factory farm and why the Soil Association conflated EU statistics with UK ones. Taken altogether, your tweet and its subsequent apology are in turn misleading and then confused – and suggest a weak attempt to wriggle out of the problem you have created for yourselves. As an ex Soil Association Licensee, I have often looked upon the inner workings of the organisation with disbelief. I have seen, first hand, the disconnect between the rhetoric of the organisation and the actual organic farmers themselves. The latter are hard working and often exceptionally good business people. The former are people mostly divorced from the countryside and its workings – and are largely dependent upon the public purse for their incomes. They lead sheltered, air-conditioned lives by comparison with their real farming colleagues. Under your predecessor, Patrick Holden, I watched a beleaguered former president of the NFU, Peter Kendall, struggle to keep his temper when surrounded by the Soil Association’s conference hall full of right-on supporters. The issue, as always, was that the Soil Association considers itself to be the sole guardian of good agricultural practice; and that “conventional” farmers are wicked, chemical spraying exploiters of the countryside who are only doing it for money. The offending tweet above is just one of a long series of gratuitous insults levelled at UK farmers (and, by extension, Irish ones as well) by the Soil Association. A particular case in point has been the Soil Association’s response to bovine TB. This has amounted to the pusillanimous avoidance of discussion of the problem in order to minimise exposing its members to the truth about bTB and badgers. The thrust of SA public statements has been the idea that avoidance of stress in cattle leads to lower incidence of bTB and that organic farming avoids stress. From which the public infers that organic systems avoid bTB. This is manifestly not the case and there is no difference in bTB incidence between organic and non-organic farms. And yet the Soil Association has been been content to continue to sow this misleading impression amongst the public. For many years the Soil Association has continuously sought to further organic food as being distinctive and of higher quality – in order to justify the higher prices which are essential to pay for what is actually a very expensive product. To a point, this may be fair enough. But much of that “distinctiveness” has also been driven by the idealogical belief that the Soil Association is not only “better” than “conventional” but that it is also more distinctive than the other organic standards bodies. The result has been an ever-ratcheting spiral of increasingly onerous standards. This in turn has made the system more expensive and difficult to achieve. The premium for the food produced does not compensate the farmer for the hidden costs of compliance, and so the farmer finally gives up organic status and reverts to more sensible non-organic farming (and improves his bank balance as a consequence). The upshot of all this organic propaganda has been the public sowing of division between organic and non-organic farming systems. The greater the “distinctiveness” between the organic and non-organic standards, the more the Soil Association has rubbished the conventional farmer. This has inevitably resulted in resentment amongst non-organic farmers – and some embarrassment amongst existing organic farmers that their neighbours should be thus slagged off. But there is a glitch in the Soil Association scheme. By alienating the non-organic farmers, the Soil Association has also alienated the very market from which it draws new entrants to organic farming. For some years, after the subsidy system was altered in favour of organic farming, there were more new entrants to organic conversion than there were departures. Then the departures from organic farming started to gather pace. For a while, that was balanced by the number of new entrants. So, on paper, things were moderately static or even improving in terms of organic hectares. However the situation has now changed and the number of new entrants is being exceeded by the departures. The result is a dramatic decline in organic farming in the UK: To emphasise the decline in the new entrants to organic farming, the following graph gives the relative declines in the amounts of land in organic conversion (both charts copied from Defra Organic Farming Statistics dated 19th May 2016): These numbers are brutal. They suggest that there is a small percentage (3%) of farmers who are hanging on to their organic status because they like it. But the original Soil Association aim of making a meaningful percentage of UK farmland to convert to organic is looking increasingly doubtful. Indeed, the total organic area has declined by 30% since 2008. In conclusion, it seems to me that the Soil Association has reached a fork in the road. One choice is for you all to continue as you have been doing, by denigrating the vast majority of UK and Irish farmers who conduct their businesses using the highest standards anywhere in the world. Or the Soil Association can undertake a complete culture change and go back to the original principles of Eve Balfour – and use the huge amount of modern knowledge which confirms that the health of the soil, its microbes and invertebrates, is essential to environmentally and economically sustainable farming. The first choice is the easy choice of maintaining your quasi-regulatory, commercial, charitable and idealogical fixations. It will depend to an increasing degree upon the taxpayer, because the income from farming and UK produced and processed food will continue to decline. But ultimately it will lead to an organisation which exists solely to talk to itself. The second path is the most difficult and would involve a huge amount of courage, because much of the existing Soil Association would disappear. But it is the one that is most needed. So Helen, I suggest a choice between the original purpose of the Soil Association and good management of the soil; or the perpetuation of an organisation which has forgotten the very place from whence it first sprang. Which will you take?

Understand the influence of COVID-19 on the Farm Agricultural Equipment Market with our analysts monitoring the situation across the globe. According to World Agricultural Equipment, a new report from The QYResearch, sales of agricultural goods will climb at a healthy pace in most developing countries because of economic, population, and per capita calorie intake growth. These three trends will also facilitate the development of processed food and beverage industries in industrializing nations. As local demand for agricultural commodities increases, farmers will invest in new equipment and replace outdated machines in order to boost output, and increase the efficiency and productivity of their operations, causing mechanization rates in agriculture to rise. Furthermore, food producers will shift from using fairly basic equipment to larger and more powerful models as farm incomes rise and more farmers are able to gain access to the capital needed to invest in large-scale crop and animal production, adding to market value gains in industrializing nations. Through 2019, livestock machinery is projected to register the fastest growth of any major agricultural equipment product type. Freedonia projects that in many developed countries, a more favorable economic environment will lead to higher levels of meat, poultry, and dairy sales, which tend to be fairly expensive relative to other goods. To satisfy growing demand for their products at home, suppliers in industrialized nations will invest in a variety of new, more advanced livestock machinery. They will also benefit greatly from new meat, poultry, and dairy export sales opportunities in developing countries, where many more households will be able to afford these goods because of rising personal incomes. Farm equipment are mechanical devices such as tractors and several attached implements, which are intended to be utilized in diverse farming operations in order to save time and labor. It is also known as Agricultural Equipment which involves all machineries which assist in the production of crops and agricultural livestock.
