The initial research of use of zeolite in agriculture took place in the decade of 1960 and have gained widespread use in Europe. In annual crops, it is applied to the soil for three or more consecutive years and then in conventional cultivation is used again after 8-10 years and in biological cultivations after 25-30 years.
The use of zeolite can help in many valuable ways, such as:
- Increase soil retention capacity in nutrients and reduces their losses due to gasification (nitrogen losses in form of ammonia) or water transportation (nitrite and nitrate) thus contributing to reduce the quantity of the used fertilizers by 20-25%.
- Increases the water retention capacity and homogeneous distribution in the ground, especially in sandy soils (zeolite retain water in an amount equal to 42-50% of its weight and gives it back to the plants gradually.
- Neutralizes the acidic components of soil (balancing pH to the neutral) and therefore the addition of other materials is not needed.
- Improves soil structure by reducing the compression and increasing aeration of it
- It is 100% natural product and can be used in Biological Agriculture.
- It is ideally combined with active microorganisms in many applications, strengthening their action. | agronomy |

In February, as part of our 25th anniversary innovation series, we profiled the discovery and subsequent harnessing of Agrobacterium to modify crops, leading to great advances in agriculture and food production. Moreover, we highlighted scientist Mary-Dell Chilton – among other researchers – and the role she played in discovering the potential of the microbe.
Sonja Begemann with Ag Professional reports that Chilton is “putting away her lab goggles for the last time,” retiring from her role at Syngenta, where she founded the company’s biotechnology lab and conducted extensive research into plant genetics.
Read more about Mary-Dell Chilton from BIO’s 25th anniversary blog exploring the innovation of Agrobacterium for plant gene modification.
As Begemann notes, Chilton recently reflected on her career:
“My career in biotechnology has been an exciting journey, and I am amazed to see the progress we have made over the years,” Chilton said in a previous interview. “My hope is that through continued scientific discoveries, we will be able to provide a brighter and better future for the generations that follow us.”
A pioneer not only for women in science but anyone working in plant biotechnology, Chilton has received high-praise over the years, including from some influential leaders in agriculture. As Begemann puts it, “Chilton’s influence in biotech and the direction it’s moving is well-documented and respected.”
“Dr. Chilton’s research has forever changed the way we conduct plant research and her groundbreaking accomplishments have shaped the way genetic plant research is conducted today,” says former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, when Chilton was inducted into USDA’s Hall of Heroes.
Her “personal scientific discoveries stand out on their own, but also weave together with vast commercial and academic innovative research that allows the world to benefit from productive farming and even greater positive environmental conditions,” said Jay Croom, CEO of CropLife America, a national trade association representing manufacturers, formulators and distributors of pesticides, in a recent letter to Chilton. “Her work continues to influence progress in agriculture and humanity for generations to come.”
After years as a university researcher, Chilton joined Syngenta (what was at the time CIBA-Geigy Corporation) in 1983, founding the company’s first biotechnology research lab. In 2013, Chilton, along with two other researchers, received the World Food Prize for her work in discovering the power of Agrobacterium. Additionally, Chilton is honored in USDA’s Hall of Heroes and is an inductee in the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

Review by: Barwon Ridge
The vineyard was planted in 1999 by Geoff and Joan Anson and Ken King. We produce Pinot Noir, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Marsanne.
The vineyard is in the Barrabool Hills, approximately 1 hour south-west of Melbourne and 10 minutes west of Geelong. It is a great place to visit on the way down the Great Ocean Road.
The vineyard runs down from a ridge in the Barrabool Hills. It looks northwards onto the Barwon River and the You Yangs, and to Corio Bay in the east. The soil is a quick draining sandy loam over shallow limestone. The vines 'do it tough' getting their roots down into the rocky ground but then produce intense flavours in the sun and soil. The area is in a natural rain shadow. The low rainfall, open aspect and good air flow mean that disease pressures are low and spraying is kept to a minimum.
There is approximately 3.6 hectares (9 acres) under vine. Plantings comprise Pinot Noir (Clones: MV6, D2V5, 114, 115, 777), Shiraz, Marsanne, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
All of the fruit used in our wines comes from our vineyard. 2004 was our first vintage.
All wines are vegan compliant. | agronomy |

Although he has been making wines for over twelve years, he received his training in fine arts, and this has made all the difference to his business.
Grieve approaches viniculture with a holistic vision, and while he is no doubt a savvy entrepreneur who is in business to make money, he has broken away from conventional methods and refuses to grow his bottom line by treating the process of winemaking as a profit-at-all-costs venture.
He says modern wine-making has in many ways become purely chemical-driven, with huge amounts of fertilizers, soil conditioners, pesticides and commercial yeasts involved in creating the product. When he joined Avondale in 1999, it was a “chemical abuse” farm suffering from years of commercially-accepted agricultural practices.
He set about turning the farm into a truly green operation using USDA and European Union quality standards, which are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. “This is not just about replacing each chemical practice with an organic one, it is redesigning the agricultural process in its entirety,” says Grieve, noting that he views the development of the farm as an ongoing process.
Avondale covers about 100 hectares and has been broken down into 1-hectare plots that are each managed separately. Moisture sensors and drip systems mete out just the right amount of irrigation for each plot. Habitats for natural predators of vine pests are located on some of the plots, at the same time forming green barriers that keep the soil, flora and fauna healthy.
Trained ducks keep the vines free of snails, which form part of their natural diet. They spend part of their time in a ‘bunkhouse’ located near the vineyard and happily waddle aboard a large tractor-driven trailer that transports them to the vineyard, where they spend part of the day pruning the gastropods from the plants.
“Once the ducklings recognize that the sound of the tractor means food, they quickly and happily will board the trailer. It takes only about two to three days to teach them to walk the ramp into the trailer,” says Grieve.
Grieve says he soon realized that spraying pesticides and herbicides was a continuous battle, one that did not bring many victories. “Nothing is completely eliminated from the farm,” he says, adding that all the processes on the farm focus on natural control of the environment.
Under this system weeds replace fertilizers and supplements. Grieve says these cover crops help fine tune the soil for each plot and have a symbiotic relationship with the vines. The vines feed the weeds, which in turn create nutrients for the soil and vines.
The process continues after the grapes are harvested, where bag presses replace steel screws and gravity fed systems eliminate powered pumps. Avondale’s wine-maker, Corne Marais, employs only natural yeast fermentation and does not add enzymes, catalysing agents or softeners in the production process. The wines are matured slowly – months more than on the majority of commercial wine farms – before finally being presented to customers.
What makes Grieve’s approach so exceptional is that he treats the entire wine-making business – from the land, to the grapes, to the wine – as an interconnected and interdependent network. It clearly explains Avondale’s guiding principle of “Terra est vita”(“Soil is life”).
Grieve is building a highly sustainable business model with his holistic ‘green’ approach, a system which he is more than willing to share with other producers. The results of his labour can be found in his wines. Avondale’s range of seven new wines is exceptionally delicious, with flavours and fragrances that linger long after the wine is gone. They are in sharp, and pleasant, contrast to the winery’s ‘old’ collection, which shows many of the harsher tones and short-lived flavours found in contemporary wines.
Grieves has listened carefully to the Earth and his diligence is being handsomely rewarded. Avondale is proof that a business can be both socially and environmentally responsible to a high degree while still producing a quality product and creating a sustainable revenue model. | agronomy |

Mulching is one of the most important ways to maintain healthy landscape plants. Using mulch is a good gardening habit. The benefits make it worth the effort. A really good job of mulching your garden offers the following benefits:
In dry periods mulch retains moisture around plants’ root systems, and helps hold down costly water bills. It also prevents soil erosion by breaking the fall of the water and lessening the force when water impacts the ground. A plant that has a constant level of adequate moisture is less likely to become stressed, which means that it will be better able to resist insects and diseases.
Keep The Good Green Stuff!
In the growing season, a layer of mulch helps prevent germination or weeds. Covering the soil and depriving weed seeds of the light they need to germinate, mulch prevents them from gaining a foothold in the first place. Secondly, bare dirt is the perfect place for weed seeds to land and germinate. By covering all of your bare soil with mulch, most weeds will never be able to come into contact with the soil.
That Perfect Temp
During cold weather mulch acts as a protective blanket for plants, moderating severe temperature changes which can damage plant root systems. In tandem with keeping the soil moist, mulch also keeps the soil cooler in hot weather, which will prolong the amount of time it takes for many plants to bolt or go dormant. Some plants bloom best in cooler conditions, and mulch will aid in keeping these plants blooming longer. | agronomy |

Not only has the Archdiocese of Gulu fed the Christians with spiritual growth but also the diocese has embarked on looking at the Christians’ welfare.This came in at a time the Archdiocese launched a 10 year strategic program in agriculture to improve both the pastoral and spiritual livelihoods of the Christians.
The Gulu Archdiocese Cassava Commercialization and industrialization program iniated in 2018 aimed at mobilsing and sensitizing the masses to take up commercial production of Cassava to improve on their livelihoods but also enhance food security in the region.
The coordinator Rev Fr Matthew Okun Lagoro, the program is the dream and inspiration of the Archbishop of Gulu Archdiocese Most Rev. John Baptist Odama in relation to the vision 2020 to 2040 by His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda which is aimed at raising Uganda to the middle-income status.
He mentioned that apart from the program in agriculture, the Archbishop had the vision to establish 32 new parishes concurrently of which 5 of them are already promoting the pastoral and spiritual nourishment of the people in the Archdiocese of Gulu and beyond.
He further went on to say, the program is as well been introduced to enable peaceful co-existence for development among the farming communities using strategies to promote industrialization and commercialization of crop production in the region.
According to the coordinator, the program is focusing at promoting mind set change that is geared towards nurturing peaceful, patriotic and service oriented faithful people in the region.For the program to achieve its set objectives, the coordinator added that they are encouraging the people to participate as individual, family and institution with at least a minimum of a hectare or 2 acres of land so as to be able raise funds to enhance food security and livelihood.
He emphasized the need to lobby for cooperation and support from government, the Civil Society Organizations and other stake holders by putting resources together for the growth and development of the people.
Since the inception of the program, Fr Okun said they are working with more than 10 thousand farmers who are spread across the five districts of Pader, Omoro, Gulu, Lamwo and Nwoya with the services being extended to other places in Lango Sub region.
A part from incorporating the farmers, he said, there is also mutual cooperation between the Ministry of Agriculture Animal Industry and Fisheries and other government programs like the Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) and National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) especially in coordinating purchase and supply of the Cassava products.
He also observed that within a space of three years since the program was established, it has so far created the interrelation and the peace building approach among the farming communities who bore the brunt of insurgency of the Lord’s Resistance Army rebels of Joseph Kony in Northern Uganda.
Although the program is registering achievements, Fr Okun disclosed that they are also facing challenges as most farmers are finding it difficult to adopt to the scientific means being used in the cassava production. To address this, he said they will continue to sensitize farmers to embrace new innovations.Other immediate challenge according to Fr Okun, is the natural disaster especially drought, a factor affecting Cassava in the gardens although in the first year of operation, there was plenty of rain unlike in the second and third year of operation where the project has been greatly affected by prolonged drought despite strong resilient of Cassava to sun shine.
Fr Okun revealed that they also have a future plan to establish four Cassava factories in Northern Uganda following earlier discussions held with responsible stake holders while specifying that two factories will be built in Acholi, while one in Lango and West Nile respectively. The plan was arrived at with the view to supply products to various factories.
Other future plan according to Fr Okun is that they are looking for other possible means to bring together farmers in cooperative groups with the vision to guide and sensitize them not only to embrace Cassava growing but also other crops for holistic development of the people. | agronomy |

But since March of last year we have been closed, and for everyone, our ways of working and socializing has changed in a way no-one could have foreseen, or planned for.
This article is a small tribute to our staff and volunteers for all their hard work, and dedication, caring for the farm, the animals and gardens, as well as a big thank to everyone who has supported us during the pandemic.
Our large animals were housed in Kent, from the beginning of the pandemic. Farm owners offered free board. Our Kerry Hill sheep and their lambs, born just before the pandemic, the three pigs and our ponies Hazel and Luna were also housed in surrounding areas by local farmers. Ola and Hazel arrived back to the farm in November, much to the delight of Clover the donkey.
MARCH - MAY
Spring is always a busy time at the farm, and the pandemic did not stop our plants from growing and animals being born. Incubated duck and chicken eggs hatched in March. Brahma and Buff Orpington chickens and Indian runner, Caygua and Aylesbury ducks were a welcomed delight to the farm and our beautiful Angol Nubian goats gave birth to a few kids of their own.
The Farm welcomed Food Cycle to the farm at the beginning of the pandemic. From our straw bale room they were able to continue supporting vulnerable people and families in the community with weekly fresh food donated by the Felix Project.
Small businesses and social enterprises based at the farm had to change their working practices quickly. Frizzante Café closed its door in April and re opened to customers in July by developing a delivery service, utilizing the cafe's terrace and farm's front garden area
Package free food shop Get Loose made changes to their shop to make it Covid safe for their customers. They also helped the farm shop selling all the farm grown vegetable and flower plants.
JUNE - SEPTEMBER
The farm's growing season was highly successful last year. Many of the vegetable seeds were sown earlier in the year by a group of students from Kings College, participants of a new employment training program started by the farm in 2019 "Growing Skills" for young adults with learning disabilities.
Majority of the food grown in 2020 was given away to local residents, Food cycle and local hot food distribution charities such as Women's Initiative Team based in Tower Hamlets, as well as sold to the community through package free food shop "Get Loose" based at the farm
Educational provisions for most children of all ages were closed, as were many provisions for the under fives during the first and second lockdown. Families and carers with and without access to a garden were finding it difficult to find safe, outdoor spaces for their children to get their one hour of exercise, as well as a decline in their children's social and physical development due to the lack of interaction with other children and environments
To support the youngest in our community, the farm opened the gates, two mornings a week to toddlers.
Educational activities were laid out for toddlers to explore in the farms woodland and garden areas. Many parents and carers found the sessions at the farm beneficial to their well being as well as their children.
In December more lockdown regulations were imposed on everyone, and the toddler sessions also had to close.
We are hopeful the farm will be open again to the community in April, and we are planning to restart toddlers and their carers sessions at the farm again.
From all of us here at the farm, a big thank you for your support over the last year, and please continue to stay safe.
Hopefully we will see each other again from April | agronomy |

Friday, 20 July 2018
At Amethyst, Whites Road, Royapettah, Chennai 600014
Sheela Balaji has successfully revived and cultivated over 103 varieties of heritage rice through the project ‘Spirit of the Earth’. On a 40-acre organic farm in Manjakkudi, Kumbakonam, they cultivate heritage, artisanal, non-hybrid rice, using purely organic practices. Rich in nutrients, these organically grown grains are pesticide-free and also in turn protect the soil.
The talk will revolve around Sheela Balaji’s journey in the space of organic farming, her personal experiences from being introduced to heritage rice to cultivating 103 varieties at a farm in Manjakkudi, lessons learnt along the way and stories she has heard from farmers across India.

Efficient agri-logistics enhances market linkage and justifies efforts to produce more and brings overall growth to agriculture,” asserts Pawanexh Kohli, Chief Executive and Advisor, National Centre for Cold-chain Development (NCCD).
Your views on the transformation of the agriculture sector in India…
As the country develops and its citizens become more affluent and health aware, we are witnessing a shift in food preferences. Demand is no longer about carbohydrates & calories, but incorporates proteins, minerals and micro-nutrients. The shift in consumer orientation is effectively the prime driver in shaping an associated transformation of the agricultural sector. Many of these opportunities can only be tapped with required systemic and policy changes. These, however, need to be calibrated to suit the type of produce in demand and to empower the farmers to supply such demand. From the supply chain managers’ perspective, the systemic changes must cater to the requirements that are specific to the varied kind of produce that need to be handled.
Pre- and post-independence, when focus was on cotton and grains, agri-markets were termed as assembly points, or zones where farmers would aggregate with their farm outputs, so that the flow of trade was monitored, regulated and taxed. However, today’s farming eco-system generates surpluses, and while other markets have been liberalised, restrictive regulations have remained in case of farmers’ markets. Under this system, the farmers are expected to monetise their produce at a near farm mandi, which has area demarcated market jurisdiction. This market architecture essentially delinked the farmers from the best possible valuation, which typically is seen at terminal destination. This is like forcing all factories to sell at factory gate, instead of being allowed direct consumer access.
The transformation of agricultural economy calls for evolving a new market architecture, one that endows the farmers with the tools to physically communicate their produce, in their name, to transact at terminal markets. The forward connectivity will also require logistics infrastructure in the form of first mile aggregation hubs, co-located to villages. These would primarily bring immediate and gainful organisation in the post-production supply chain.
But can farmers manage this themselves?
The physical connectivity can be provided as a service, against revenue sharing or other service level agreements with farmers. It is a misnomer to imagine that farmers would manage the entire logistics chain which can run across geographies. However, farmers will intrinsically be the key beneficiaries from such services. If you can courier a parcel to any location in the country today, why cannot a group of small farmers use services to dispatch their produce to a market location of choice?
Yes, to do so, the farmers will have to collaborate and generate sufficient load at source, so that their production can be transported by most viable mode. To do this, an aggregation hub is required at village level, or one that covers a few villages. These hubs will also create employment for the rural communities, in jobs that are inherently linked to the core activity of farming. Such aggregation hubs or pack-houses will set off a virtuous cycle of economic growth. Without such back-end organisation, the agricultural eco-system will continue to face chaotic development.
Is it not easy for a farmer to vertically integrate with a food processing factory?
Sure, vertical integration with any agro processor is an easy option. And this is typical and already happening. However, their growth is not linked to their immediate effort, but on the growth of the factory they are vertically linked with. The only option is to expand their consumer from one nearby factory, into multiple factories and this again will require back-end aggregation of produce, in enough volumes to supply to far-away demand.
In case of high-value foods, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, meat items, the Indian market is predominantly fresh. Here, the producers also could horizontally integrate, with multiple markets of choice. Especially as here, the markets have a more rapid, near daily, selling cycle. For example, a farmer group in Bihar, should be able to precondition and connect their litchi to terminal markets of Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai, of their own volition. Hence, their growth is not limited to the growth of the industry that they supply into, but by the scope of how they expand their market.
Food wastage has been one of the biggest challenges that the industry needs to circumvent. How can we resolve the issue?
Mere presence of cold-chain infrastructure does not stop food loss. Food loss occurs primarily because food or food product is not connected to consumption before it perishes. In case of fresh produce, this can happen when the time to reach market is beyond the marketable life of the food item. Most fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, meat do not have a long saleable life in normal conditions. They either should be harvested on demand (as usually in case of meat) and/or have to be sold quickly. Unless, the selling cycle falls within their natural saleable life, cold-chain intervention is required, especially when markets are concentrated across longer time-distance spans.
The cold-chain not only extends the marketable life span of whole produce, it also brings organisation and standardisation to post harvest food handling. This ensures that fresh produce is packaged and preconditioned to withstand road stress or damage, promotes modern material handling practices, provides relief from damage due to uncontrolled exposure and safety from external diseases. All of this allows for a larger quantum of farmers’ produce to reach consumers, thereby mitigating food loss. Key to reducing food loss is holistic development of agri-logistics to connect more food with more consumers, be it fresh or processed. All other aspects are secondary.
How does cold chain system maintain the safety and quality of produce at the desired level?
Palletization of a load facilitates safe multi-modal handling, whilst transporting and when in cold stores. Pallet handling is best done by mechanized means, which ensures quick & easy operations, reducing the loss that occurs due to mishandling. Cold stores are preferred when they are equipped to handle pallet-based cargoes, i.e. forklift types, roll-on/roll-off ramps, pallet based put away racks, etc.
At the last mile, retail shops also need strengthening to handle cold-chain routed fresh produce. In all, the complete chain enhances the produces’ usable life, retards loss of freshness, sustains nutritional value to the maximum and contributes enormously by extending the value chain system beyond traditional regions and limitations. The most phenomenal gain is drastic reduction in physical loss, through organised practices, when compared to the traditional multi-layered logistics chain.
How can marketing enhance the reach of perishable food?
An effective marketing and logistics network require developing an efficient link between an Origin (farm-source) with Destination (consumer-market) - ‘OD pair’. Lack of modern packhouses at points of origin, deflected the existing refrigerated transport and cold storage distribution hubs into the limited role of aiding the marketing of certain processed foods and the fresh imports arriving in the cold-chain.
A common example of efficient source level aggregation is the milk pooling or collection point. This is the first step to value-realization though a chain of market linking logistical activities. Post-production activities that safeguard the value of the harvest and deliver the maximum quantity of produce to end-consumers without degradation of quality, would have a positive trickle down effect on farmers’ income.
An effective agri-logistics infrastructure network design is required for perishable produce, at first instance needing source points, as pack-houses to serve as aggregation or pre-conditioning centres, normally developed at village or farm-gate level, to organize an effective farm-to-fork supply system. However, the planning approach should follow an inverse flow from fork-to-farm.
Please highlight the Inverse Approach “From Fork-to-Farm”. | agronomy |

Lao coffee is a symbol of national pride like LaoBier. For an Italian, tasting a coffee outside the national borders that does not taste like a dishwasher rinse will finally be a very happy surprise!
The first plants were brought by the settlers in the early 1900s, but several errors of evaluation led to the cultivation of the plant in the northern regions which proved unsuitable. Production actually took off when plantations were moved from the north to the south of the country. After another abrupt interruption caused by the Second World War, which led to the abandonment of the region by the French, the entrepreneurs slowly resumed the development of industry in the area of the Boulevan Plateau or the Boulevan plateau. This geographical area near Paksè, in the extreme south of the country, was the site of continuous volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, which made the soil rich in minerals, extremely suitable for the growth of coffee plants.
90% of the companies that work mainly Arabica varieties, intended for export, are concentrated here, while Robusta and Iberian are used locally. In this context, both large companies and small businesses were born that collaborate with various ethnic groups trying to encourage the cultivation of coffee at the expense of opium. Laotian coffee, unlike what we are used to drinking, has an almost chocolate flavor and is usually served filtered with a condensed milk base that is addictive at the first sip. | agronomy |

This is a very good question, and there are several reasons why delivering produce to YOU works much better for us!
Firstly, we have a lot of different jobs to do during the working week, to keep the market garden (and the rest of the farm) running. As well as harvesting produce, we also need to sow seeds, plant out new plants, weed the beds, cut the grass, maintain infrastructure ... the list goes on. So, it's much more efficient for us to try and keep harvesting to one or two days of the week (Thursday and Friday). This also means that your vegetables are mostly delivered on the same day they were picked.
Another very practical reason is that we are quite some distance from the main road, the access to our farm being along a steep bridleway. Having a 'physical' shop on site would therefore be quite challenging.
If you want to visit the farm, you are welcome to come along to one of our open days (upcoming events will be advertised on our homepage). We usually have fresh produce for sale at open days, plus you'll be able to have a good look around the market garden and see how things are grown.
It may also be possible to arrange visits at other times, but please get in touch first!

Everyone is fond of living in a well adorned home to show off their true avowal of ownership. Having an inviting and beautiful indoor garden only improves the look of your home but also increases its value. Even if you spend time and effort to make small brilliant changes, you can easily make a great difference in how your home looks. First of all you must remember that it is much trickier to grow plants indoor than outdoor gardening as the life and growing process of the plants depend largely on natural light. In contrast to outdoor gardening in which important elements like rain and sunlight are naturally awarded, the indoor plants depend only on the elements that you provide them. Indoor gardens are preferred by most people who do not have yard space. With adequate skills and expertise, you can easily create a wonderful garden within your home and thereby having a stimulating green surrounding.
Here are some of the great tips that help you with indoor gardening adventure.
Provide Adequate Light:
Placing your indoor plants in the well-lit areas of your home is extremely crucial. You should avoid exposing them directly to the sunlight as it would lead them to dry up soon. If the area is not well lit, it is better to place the plants under High-intensity discharge bulbs or fluorescent light that can serve as alternative light sources. Before opting for the lights, you need to measure the garden, and this helps you to determine the required wattage of the bulbs. For a smaller area, you can opt for a 400watt HID light whereas for a larger area, you can choose to buy 600 to 1000 watts of HID light. If you want to make sure whether plants get adequate light, you can check their stems and leaves. Plants that are not getting enough light will be smaller in size and their color will be pale.
Water The Plants Properly:
You must water your indoor garden plants sufficiently. Inadequate watering and over watering are the two common mistakes that most people do. However, they should be avoided to ensure proper growth of indoor plants. You must always use purified distilled water as the tap water contains adverse mineral deposits and pH levels which are not good for the plants. Using cold or hot water may affect the wellness of your indoor plants and so, you must use water in room temperature.
Ensure Proper Ventilation:
You must make sure that your indoor garden is ventilated properly. There should be a circulating airflow all around the houseplants for allowing them to breathe. You can consider placing them near an oscillating fan or open windows. You must also make sure that the planters and pots have adequate drainage so that the water will not get stuck inside them and thereby prevent the roots from decaying. When the plants grow too larger, you can transplant them into a larger pot. It is always better to use natural fertilizers and pesticides for your indoor garden plants. | agronomy |

I'm not sure how it happened, but we have all three colors growing down our hill. Last summer I think we got two blooms total (we didn't plant them until July), and this summer.....POOF.....here they all come. So very pretty!!
These are just some of the blooms I cut last Friday. Still going strong on the kitchen table!
As you can see, my planter boxes and pots are doing well too!!
As for the edible stuff??
The lettuce is starting to come up
We have our first tomato
and our first pepper.
Our raspberry bushes (all that green stuff in front) are looking good and it looks like I'll have enough berries for two pies.
And our basil is growing like gangbusters! I made another batch of pesto tonight!!
I am hoping to find a gardening class or two to take this winter. I adore gardening (way more than I imagined I would, even the weeding!!), and I know there is so much more I need to learn. Has anyone taken a gardening class before? Or does anyone have a favorite gardening website or book?
I'll continue to post progress throughout the summer! | agronomy |

Flaxseed was cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000 BC. In the 8th century, King Charlemagne believed so strongly in the health benefits of flaxseed that he passed laws requiring his subjects to consume it. Now, thirteen centuries later, some experts say we have preliminary research to back up what Charlemagne suspected.
Beveri's organic, golden flaxseed is sourced exclusively from farms in the central plains of north america (so we always know where our seeds come from). We use patented seed selection process to filter out the detrimental immature or damaged seeds - providing you with a consistent serving of 3 grams of ala omega-3 and a shelf life guaranteed for up to 18 months from date of manufacture, freshness and a great taste. It's an easy way to get your daily dose of ala omega-3's.
★ We live in a difficult world. One, which is hazardous, unhealthy and detrimental to life in all its forms. Take for instance, the pesticide levels in our farms which in turn finds its way into the earth and from thereon into the water & food. Notwithstanding the fallacy of more pesticides-better yield. Today it is a well-known fact that the excessive use of pesticides has created resistant organisms and even harmful mutated ones. All of which means the farmer sprays more & more pesticides every year to keep the pests at bay. Organic regulations strictly prohibit the use of synthetic, toxic, persistent pesticides. If they are not avoided, they will persist in air, water, and food and in our bodies. On the less worrying side could be several undiagnosed digestive disorders, allergies and a mixed up biorhythm too. Organic also means the farmer is protected from the expenses on pesticide. Organic certification is a process that helps producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products to get their products certified. Organic certification is intended to assure quality and prevent fraud. "Certified organic" label is a product assurance for consumers worldwide.

The unique flavor found in this spring’s honey harvest is highlighted in both beer and braggot.
Each Rogue Farms honeybee will visit up to 1,500 flowers on a typical day gathering nectar and pollinating blossoms. Bees not only pollinate Rogue’s proprietary palette of ingredients, they are also vital to maintaining the health of the food supply. Honeybees pollinate about one-third of the foods we eat.
“We wouldn’t be farmers without bees,” said Rogue Ales President Brett Joyce. “Pollinating everything from our marionberries to our pumpkins, and collecting nectar for our honey, our bees are the life force of Rogue Farms.”
Honey Kolsch and Marionberry Braggot will be available beginning in June. Honey Kolsch was awarded the 2015 Best in Show at the National Honey Board’s Honey Beer Competition and will be available in 22 oz serigraphed bottles, in 12 oz bottles and on draft. Marionberry Braggot comes in 750 ml painted bottles and on draft. For more information about Growing the Revolution visit rogue.com.

These classical green Orange Pekoe leaves are long and twisted with a uniform green hue. The flavour is subtle with mild vegetal notes and underlying sweetness. There are nuances of grassiness on the finish. This tea is rich in antioxidants so has many health benefits.
Perched high up on the eastern side of Sri Lanka’s central mountains in the region of Uva, sits the Thotulagalla Tea Estate. As well as producing fine organic tea, the estate has the additional advantage of breath-taking views across a hazy backdrop of rolling hills, lush valleys and the green of a tropical landscape – comprised mainly from tea. Thotulagalla Tea Estate was established in 1931 and is spread over around 200 hectares of land, most of which is formed into hillside terraces where the tea grows in neat lines to form flat-topped picking ‘tables’. The tea here is excellent thanks to the rich and fertile soil, the cooler climate and an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level. In 1997 the estate was bought by the Muthuswamy family and in a bid to improve the environment, the owners made the decision to convert the farm to 100% organic production. This has resulted in a more sustainable landscape where nature lives in harmony with the tea and its workers. The estate employs 184 people – and the vast majority of these live on the estate with housing being provided – each with a garden where families grow vegetables for their own consumption. The estate produces green, oolong and black teas. To make their green tea the leaves are carefully hand plucked by an army of colourfully dressed women who skilfully pick the top two leaves and buds. The leaves are delivered to the factory where they are immediately steamed for around 60 seconds. This adds tenderness to the leaves and allows them to release their enzymes. The leaf is then pan fired to avoid any fermentation which would otherwise turn the tea to Oolong or black tea. After ten to fifteen minutes of drying the leaf is graded according to leaf sizes. The vast majority of tea produced is either Orange Pekoe or Pekoe. | agronomy |

The new breeds have been bred and imported by the governments of these states, where goats are the primary livestock of the farmers.
But some have come under fire for not being raised in humane conditions.
According to an Agence France-Presse report published on Monday, some goats have been left in cages for days without food or water.
Some goats have also been given injections of antibiotics and other drugs to treat infections.
Agence French-Pressel said that these are the “most serious cases” of animal husbandries in India.
The report also found that some goat owners in Telangamut and other parts of the country have been refusing to adopt them.
The government of Telanga Pradesh, for instance, has banned all goats from being sold or sold in its markets.
And the Maharashtra government has banned the importation of goats for commercial purposes.
The reports comes as a fresh batch of goats are being imported into India to feed a rapidly expanding population of the world’s most populous nation.
The growing demand for goat milk in India has created a cottage industry that is worth billions of dollars a year.
“A few years ago, India was a country where there was no animal husbandriing industry.
We had a lot of goats and they are now the number one animal husbandy in India,” says Nandini Singh, the president of Agra-based animal husbandrier Kalyani Sivakaya.
“Now we have over 2 lakh goats and a huge demand for milk.”
The country’s goats are bred in the Andhra region and exported to neighbouring states of Telugu Nadu, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh.
Agra goat milk has become an international market with exports valued at $1.5 billion.
“The demand is huge.
There is a big demand for a variety of products, including goat milk, yogurt and goat meat,” said Praveen Sanyal, president of the National Farmers Federation of India (NFFI).
“Farmers in the western state of Telengana, which is in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, sell goat milk and yogurt in the local markets.
They also use the milk for cattle feed.”
Agra dairy products are among the highest-priced in the world.
“As India grows, farmers need a reliable source of goat milk,” said Naveen, who is also president of Kalyan Jain Dahi Yojana, a non-profit organisation that helps farmers in the state.
Agreeing to adopt an animal is a decision that requires a lot more than just the willingness to take an animal to the vet.
“You have to be very careful about what you put in the animal, what you feed the animal and what you do with the animal.
The vet has to be involved,” he said.
The animals have to have at least 20 litters of milk and are tested for diseases and parasites.
But while the farmers say they don’t breed the animals for the money, they do give them milk for a nominal fee.
They do this so they don, for example, buy goat meat from local markets when they have not been fed properly for a long time.
“We also feed them milk which we are getting from the farmer’s own milk,” Naveer added.
Agreed that it is not possible to buy the milk of a goat that has been bred for milk alone.
“If you buy goat milk from farmers who are already farmers, you may end up in a situation where the milk is not good for the goat.
That is why we also sell it at farmers’ markets.
Farmers are not interested in selling their own milk.”
According to Agence França-Presso, some farmers have refused to sell their goats because of the high price.
But according to a report in Agence-France-Pressey, a leading international news agency, some of the goat farmers who refuse to buy goat milks from the Agra milk traders, believe the animal’s milk is adulterated.
“In some cases, the milk may have been contaminated by bacteria or parasites, and farmers say that they cannot sell the milk due to the high cost,” said the report.
The Agence F-16, a French-made fighter jet, is also being used to patrol the border areas between the two countries, and Agence is using it to collect data on goat farmers. | agronomy |

You even talk to them when you are down or feeling low. They listen and they keep you company. You cherish them and want to protect them at all costs. But it turns out that the packers and movers that you chose are not skilled at moving plants or loading and unloading pots. What do you do? Do not wait till the moving day. Either choose a moving company that has experience in relocating plants or follow the tips given in the section below:
1. Invest In The Right Packaging Materials
Yes. You need to invest in the right and sufficient amount of packaging for your plants. You can also ask the packers and movers to do it but remember to supervise the process. If you have moved your plants before, you are the only person who should make this purchase.
Make sure that the packaging material does not dry out your plants at all. It should be able to keep them hydrated and away from dust, dirt, pollutants, harsh sun, and strong gusts of wind throughout the move.
The foliage in your plants is going to be especially vulnerable if you are traveling by car. There are going to be bumps and delays also. So you need to keep your plants in top-notch condition. Make sure to keep your plants/soil a little damp and not wet at all.
2. Newspapers To The Rescue
Newspapers are very useful when you are trying to protect the foliage of your beautiful plants. If they have long and leafy foliage, they can get damaged when you are on the move. The ideal approach to take here is to wrap them up nicely and neatly with newspapers. You can use a simple cotton thread to tie the newspapers in place and keep them stable.
You can also use a little bit of tape to keep the covering from coming off. Just keep your plants away from harsh and direct sunlight to prevent over evaporation of water from their soil and plants. It is also going to prevent the stems and leaves from drying up while you are on your way to the new property.
3. Individual Pots, Please
If you find that some of your plants have grown bigger over the past few weeks and have become a lot more beautiful but a little difficult to manage, it is better to cut through and separate sections of the same. Plant them in different pots so that they can be transported easily to your new house. You should not have to face any difficulty on the moving day.
Individual pots are also easier to carry and you will find that loading and unloading them becomes faster and more efficient. You can always replant the different sections of the plant together in a single place once you have settled into your new house.
4. Does Labelling Help?
Labeling is going to help you out tremendously. Your moving company is also going to suggest you do the same. If you want to contain your plants or tiny shrubs in boxes and containers, keeping them labeled and clearly marked with a permanent marker is better. You will also have to make sure that the container has at least one or two holes for the air to pass in and out.
This is going to prolong the life of your plant. By labeling the boxes and containers it will become easier for you to figure out which plants need to be unloaded and unboxed before and which can wait a little longer.
5. Keep The Lids Open
If you want to place them inside containers and boxes and if you find that it is not easy for you to create holes or openings in them, keep the lids open. Your plants need a little bit of light and air to thrive when they are being transported. It is not a good idea to keep them in a dark area for an extended period of time. This is only going to result in unwanted damage. So it is better to expose them periodically to a little bit of air and sun whenever you get the time during the transit.
6. Choose Plant Locations Intelligently
When you have moved into your new house, it is better to choose locations for your plants very intelligently. You can ask for the assistance of the packers and movers as well to help you out with their placement. If you have a bunch of plants that can survive and thrive inside, do not put them out in the sun.
Whereas if you have a few shrubs and vines that need more sun and air than others, make sure to place them outside or perhaps in the garden area.
7. Remove The Flowers
This is going to be a little tough for you but it is essential when it comes to preserving the life of your plants. It might be a good idea to remove some of the fruits, flowers, and even buds from some of your plants before you transport them to your new house. Because these flowers and fruits have extra weight, they tend to cause the plant to bend in unnatural directions and may even lead to breakage when they are in transit.
8. Load Them Up With Fertilizers
Remember to add a suitable and adequate mix of fertilizers into the soil of every plant. Do not overdo it though. It has to be enough so that they can survive through the transition. Remember to trim them just a little bit so that they become easy to manage and place inside your vehicle.
If the branches and stems sway too far away from the main body of the plant, use a jute rope to tie together and keep them upright. Then you can use newspapers or other packaging to cover them efficiently protecting them from any probable damage.
It is never a good idea to take this task lightly. If you want to make sure that it is a smooth transition for not just your family but your plants as well, you will have to follow the tips given above. Go slow with your precious plants and keep them hydrated throughout. Do your research when it comes to investing in the right packaging for them and make sure to prune them regularly and also before the moving day. Happy moving! | agronomy |

ITHACA, New York: Many a professor dreams of revolution. But Norman Uphoff, working in a leafy corner of the Cornell University campus, is leading an inconspicuous one centered on solving the global food crisis. The secret, he says, is a new way of growing rice.
Rejecting old customs as well as the modern reliance on genetic engineering, Uphoff, 67, an emeritus professor of government and international agriculture with a trim white beard and a tidy office, advocates a management revolt.
Harvests typically double, he says, if farmers plant early, give seedlings more room to grow and stop flooding fields. That cuts water and seed costs while promoting root and leaf growth.
The method, called the System of Rice Intensification, or SRI, emphasizes the quality of individual plants over the quantity. It applies a less-is-more ethic to rice cultivation.
In a decade, it has gone from obscure theory to global trend - and encountered fierce resistance from established rice scientists. Yet a million rice farmers have adopted the system, Uphoff says. The rural army, he predicts, will swell to 10 million farmers in the next few years, increasing rice harvests, filling empty bellies and saving untold lives.
The world has lots and lots of problems," Uphoff said, while talking of rice intensification and his 38 years at Cornell.
"But if we can't solve the problems of people's food needs, we can't do anything. This, at least, is within our reach."
That may sound audacious given the depths of the food crisis and the troubles facing rice. Roughly half the world eats the grain as a staple, even as yields have stagnated and prices have soared, nearly tripling in the past year. The price jolt has provoked riots, panicked hoarding and violent protests in poor countries.
But Uphoff has a striking record of accomplishment, as well as a gritty kind of farm-boy tenacity.
He and his method have flourished despite the skepticism of his Cornell peers and the global rice establishment - especially the International Rice Research Institute, which helped start the green revolution of rising grain production and specializes in improving rice genetics.
"The claims are grossly exaggerated," said Achim Dobermann, head of research at the institute, which is based in the Philippines. Dobermann said fewer farmers used SRI than advertised because old practices often were counted as part of the trend and the method itself was often watered down.
"We don't doubt that good yields can be achieved," he said, but he called the methods too onerous for the real world.
By contrast, a former skeptic sees great potential. Vernon Ruttan, an agricultural economist at the University of Minnesota and a longtime member of the National Academy of Sciences, once worked for the institute and doubted the system's prospects.
Now Ruttan calls himself an enthusiastic fan, saying the method is already reshaping rice cultivation. "I doubt it will be as great as the green revolution," he said. "But in some areas it's already having a substantial impact."
Robert Chambers, a leading analyst on rural development, who works at the University of Sussex, England, called it a breakthrough.
"The extraordinary thing," he said, "is that both farmers and scientists have missed this - farmers for thousands of years, and scientists until very recently and then some of them in a state of denial."
The method, he added, "has a big contribution to make to world food supplies. Its time has come."
Uphoff grew up on a Wisconsin farm milking cows and doing chores.
In 1966, he graduated from Princeton with a master's degree in public affairs and in 1970 from the University of California, Berkeley, with a doctorate in political science.
At Cornell, he threw himself into rural development, irrigation management and credit programs for small farmers in the developing world.
In 1990, a secret philanthropist (eventually revealed to be Charles Feeney, a Cornell alumnus who made billions in duty-free shops) gave the university $15million to start a program on world hunger.
Uphoff was the director for 15 years. The directorship took him in late 1993 to Madagascar.
Slash-and-burn rice farming was destroying the rain forest, and Uphoff sought alternatives.
He heard that a French Jesuit priest, Father Henri de Laulanié, had developed a high-yield rice cultivation method on Madagascar that he called the System of Rice Intensification.
Uphoff was skeptical. Rice farmers there typically harvested 2 tons per hectare, or 2.47 acres. The group claimed 5 to 15 tons.
"I remember thinking, 'Do they think they can scam me?"' Uphoff recalled. "I told them, 'Don't talk 10 or 15 tons. No one at Cornell will believe it. Let's shoot for 3 or 4."'
Uphoff oversaw field trials for three years, and the farmers averaged 8 tons per hectare. Impressed, he featured SRI on the cover of his institute's annual reports for 1996 and 1997.
In Laos, an agriculture official recently said SRI had doubled the size of rice crops in three provinces and would spread to the whole country because it had provided greater yields with fewer resources.
"Once we get over the mental barriers," Uphoff said, "it can go very, very quickly because there's nothing to buy."
The opponents have agreed to conduct a global field trial that may end the dispute, he said. The participants include the rice institute, Cornell and Wageningen University, a Dutch institution with a stellar reputation in agriculture.
The field trials may start in 2009 and run through 2011, Uphoff said. "This should satisfy any scientific questions," he added. "But my sense is that SRI is moving so well and so fast that this will be irrelevant."
Practically, he said, the method is destined to grow.
"It raises the productivity of land, labor, water and capital," he said. "It's like playing with a stacked deck. So I know we're going to win."
Rains bring hope to Australian wheat farmers
NARRABRI, Australia: Wheat farmers in Australia, one of the world's biggest exporters of the grain, raced this week to plant their fields, gambling that recent rain would lead to one of the best crops on record and put an end to seven hard years of drought.
In one of the biggest Australian grain belts in New South Wales State, wheat farmers struggling with years of losses were once again ploughing and sowing their fields around the clock, encouraged by a few weeks of steady rain and forecasts for a rebounding harvest.
"It was fantastic rain," said Ron Greentree, the biggest individual grower in Australia, whose workers were busily sowing about 80,000 hectares, or 198,000 acres.
"Everyone around here is working 24 hours, now we've got the rains," he said as he walked through one of his fields. "We have waited a long time for this rain. We are 70 percent done. Hopefully we will finish in the next 10 days."
Greentree is expecting a good crop of about 250,000 tons from his properties. Last year, encouraged by a winter sprinkling of rain, he and other farmers sowed their fields, only to watch the wheat wither as the rains dried up.
Global food markets are also hoping this year will not be another false dawn for Australian wheat growers.
On Tuesday, Australia caused some concern in markets by cutting its official wheat output forecast by nearly 9 percent after the return of dry weather in April and May in parts of the country.
It still expects wheat exports to more than double to 16.3 million tons in the 2008-2009 season, but news of the smaller crop threatened to tighten wheat markets at a time when record corn prices had put food inflation in the spotlight once again.
The downgrade was also bigger than similar cuts announced by private forecasters over the past week, though the new 2008-9 crop estimate of 23.68 million tons would still mean a rebound of more than 80 percent from the drought-hit production of last year.
In Narrabri, about 500 kilometers, or 310 miles, northwest of Sydney, farmers are investing about 250 Australian dollars, or $235, a hectare to plant their fields - 20 million dollars for Greentree's estate - and in some cases straining bank credit to the limit to put in another crop.
"It's been a pretty devastating last four to five years. It has really hurt the communities," Greentree said.
"It was a real relief when it did rain, but people are a bit gun-shy," he added. "Last year, it looked good until the end of July, and then it didn't rain and all the crops failed."
The main eastern Australian wheat-growing state of New South Wales normally accounts for 30 percent of the country's crop, but encouraging rains early this year stalled in April and May and only resumed in the Narrabri-Moree District early this month.
Elsewhere, the state is still dry, waiting anxiously for rain. But planting is well under way in Narrabri, making it one of the main hopes for good production from parts of eastern Australia.
The drought halved the previous Australian crop and helped drive global wheat prices to all-time highs earlier this year.
An estimated 26 percent of the New South Wales wheat crop has been sown, mostly into dry soil, the New South Wales Department of Primary Industries estimated this week.
Victoria State, which produces about a tenth of the Australian wheat crop, is in slightly better shape than New South Wales, with rainfall about 50 to 60 percent of average by late last month.
South Australia, which normally supplies 15 percent of the annual crop, also got planting underway well before New South Wales. Western Australia, which normally contributes about 40 percent, was best placed of the cropping states, with good early rain across most of the state.
The biggest Australian wheat crop was 26.132 million tons in 2003-4. Drought cut the two most recent crops to just 13.1 million tons in 2007-8 and 10.64 million tons in 2006-7.
FIRST OIL, NOW BANANAS
Yes, we will have no bananas
Dan Koeppel is the author of "Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World."
Once you become accustomed to gas at $4 a gallon, brace yourself for the next shocking retail threshold: bananas reaching $1 a pound. At that price, Americans may stop thinking of bananas as a cheap staple, and then a strategy that has served the big banana companies for more than a century - enabling them to turn an exotic, tropical fruit into an everyday favorite - will begin to unravel.
The immediate reasons for the price increase are the rising cost of oil and reduced supply caused by floods in Ecuador, the world's biggest banana exporter. But something larger is going on that will affect prices for years to come.
That bananas have long been the cheapest fruit at the grocery store is astonishing. They're grown thousands of miles away, they must be transported in cooled containers and even then they survive no more than two weeks after they're cut off the tree. Apples, in contrast, are typically grown within a few hundred miles of the store and keep for months in a basket out in the garage. Yet apples traditionally have cost at least twice as much per pound as bananas.
Americans eat as many bananas as apples and oranges combined, which is especially amazing when you consider that not so long ago, bananas were virtually unknown here. They became a staple only after the men who in the late 19th century founded the United Fruit Company (today's Chiquita) figured out how to get bananas to American tables quickly - by clearing rainforest in Latin America, building railroads and communication networks and inventing refrigeration techniques to control ripening. The banana barons also marketed their product in ways that had never occurred to farmers or grocers before, by offering discount coupons, writing jingles and placing bananas in schoolbooks and on picture postcards. They even hired doctors to convince mothers that bananas were good for children.
Once bananas had become widely popular, the companies kept costs low by exercising iron-fisted control over the Latin American countries where the fruit was grown. Workers could not be allowed such basic rights as health care, decent wages or the right to congregate. (In 1929, Colombian troops shot down banana workers and their families who were gathered in a town square after church.)
Governments could not be anything but utterly pliable. Over and over, banana companies, aided by the American military, intervened whenever there was a chance that any "banana republic" might end its cooperation. (In 1954, United Fruit helped arrange the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Guatemala.) Labor is still cheap in these countries, and growers still resort to heavy-handed tactics.
The final piece of the banana pricing equation is genetics. Unlike apple and orange growers, banana importers sell only a single variety of their fruit, the Cavendish. There are more than 1,000 varieties of bananas - most of them in Africa and Asia - but except for an occasional exotic, the Cavendish is the only banana we see in our markets. It is the only kind that is shipped and eaten everywhere from Beijing to Berlin, Moscow to Minneapolis.
By sticking to this single variety, the banana industry ensures that all the bananas in a shipment ripen at the same rate, creating huge economies of scale. The Cavendish is the fruit equivalent of a fast-food hamburger: efficient to produce, uniform in quality and universally affordable.
But there's a difference between a banana and a Big Mac: The banana is a living organism. It can get sick, and since bananas all come from the same gene pool, a virulent enough malady could wipe out the world's commercial banana crop in a matter of years.
This has happened before. Our great-grandparents grew up eating not the Cavendish but the Gros Michel banana, a variety that everyone agreed was tastier. But starting in the early 1900s, banana plantations were invaded by a fungus called Panama disease and vanished one by one. Forest would be cleared for new banana fields, and healthy fruit would grow there for a while, but eventually succumb.
By 1960, the Gros Michel was essentially extinct and the banana industry nearly bankrupt. It was saved at the last minute by the Cavendish, a Chinese variety that had been considered something close to junk: inferior in taste, easy to bruise (and therefore hard to ship) and too small to appeal to consumers. But it did resist the blight.
Over the past decade, however, a new, more virulent strain of Panama disease has begun to spread across the world, and this time the Cavendish is not immune. The fungus is expected to reach Latin America in 5 to 10 years, maybe 20. The big banana companies have been slow to finance efforts to find either a cure for the fungus or a banana that resists it. Nor has enough been done to aid efforts to diversify the world's banana crop by preserving little-known varieties of the fruit that grow in Africa and Asia.
In recent years, American consumers have begun seeing the benefits - to health, to the economy and to the environment - of buying foods that are grown close to our homes. Getting used to life without bananas will take some adjustment. What other fruit can you slice onto your breakfast cereal?
But bananas have always been an emblem of a long-distance food chain. Perhaps it's time we recognize bananas for what they are: an exotic fruit that, some day soon, may slip beyond our reach.
Cocoa prices at over 20-year high
LONDON/NEW YORK: Cocoa prices surged to their highest level in over 20 years on Wednesday, adding extra pressure to global food prices, after reports of a possible supply squeeze in the world's top grower, Ivory Coast.
A report by independent analyst Hans Kilian, seen as bullish on Ivorian supplies, was the initial trigger for a fund and investor-driven surge in U.S. futures to a 28-year high of $3,122 a tonne.
In London, benchmark second-month cocoa futures hit a 22-year peak of 1,682 pounds a tonne, before closing at 1,658 pounds, up 33 in brisk volume of 5,641 lots.
Analysts said cocoa prices could rise further due to robust global demand and a tight supply outlook.
"We haven't been at these nose-bleed prices in years," said Ralph Preston, futures analyst with HeritageWestFutures.com in San Diego. "Especially with that fundamental news coming out, that's going to really light a fire under this."

EU votes to unify rules on detention of migrants
STRASBOURG: European Union lawmakers voted Wednesday to allow countries in the bloc to hold undocumented migrants in detention centers for up to 18 months and ban them from EU territory for five years.
Approved in this medieval French border city, which is home to a significant population of North Africans and Turks, the legislation establishes common rules for expelling foreigners who are detained on EU territory without permission to be there.
Described by critics like Amnesty International as "severely flawed" and an erosion of human rights standards, but by supporters as a balanced approach, the so-called return directive passed in the European Parliament by a vote of 369 to 197, with 106 deputies abstaining.
"The member states must decide whether they need them - if so, then please legalize them," Manfred Weber, the German center-right legislator from Bavaria who shepherded the measures through the European Parliament, said of undocumented migrants in Europe. "If you don't need them for your labor markets, then send them home."
Death of toddler twins shocks Australians
CANBERRA: Australians were warned on Wednesday to recover a lost sense of care and community after the apparent death from starvation of two 18-month-old twins that has shocked the nation.
The decomposing and emaciated bodies of the boy and girl were found in their cots by their 11-year-old sister in the family's suburban home in the tropical city of Brisbane. The pair had been dead for up to a week, police said.
The 28-year-old father and 30-year-old mother of the two were detained and charged with failing to provide necessities of life after their mother told police she may have neglected the twins and not fed them enough.
"It is a very a very important thing to realize that we should be looking after the next door neighbour's kids, or the kids down the street, and keeping an eye on them," Abused Child Trust co-founder and Chairman David Wood told local radio.
"That's what would have happened years ago. It's hard to comprehend that that can occur in our society, in a reasonably normal Brisbane suburb," Wood said. | agronomy |

Full Article - Queensland Country Life
DRY conditions have resulted in large lines of good quality calves for the upcoming CTLX Carcoar Blue Ribbon Weaner Cattle Sale.
The annual feature sale is one of most well regarded sales in NSW and will include about 10,000 weaners.
Angus breeder Cyril Wills, from Weowna, between Mandurama and Canowindra, is selling about 550 six- to eight-month-old mixed sex weaners in the March 29 sale.
Mr Wills normally sells a portion of each drop — about 200 to 300 head — as weaners, growing out the rest to feeder weights.
The feeder steers usually go to Kerwee Feedlot and excess heifers are exported live to China and Russia and breeders.
The weaners are predominantly KO Angus blood, but Mr Wills has also used genetics from Orange-based stud Denholm Glen Angus and Aristocrat stud at Nowra.
"About 10 years ago my brother and I got to know the owner of Aristocrat and now we take his whole drop of bull calves at weaning, grow them out, then use what I want for myself and sell the rest," Mr Wills said.
"It's good for him and gets me some very affordable bulls."
In a normal season he'd run about 1700 breeders on the 3035-hectare property, but he's dropped numbers to between 1300 and 1400, and he's preparing to sell another 250 cows after the weaners are sold to make the operation more manageable going into winter.
About 70 per cent of the property is improved pastures including phalaris, cocksfoot and clovers, along with some cropping country.
"We fed from March to September last year with feed that we had on hand like silage, as well as cottonseed and nearly 1000 big squares of oaten hay, but there's not going to be the capacity to feed the way we did last year because the feed isn't there.
"We're hoping to be able to get away with a small amount of supplementary feeding with pellets for the weaners that we're keeping, and we're still waiting to see what the season will do before we decide what to feed the cow herd.
"We'd normally sow 400 to 500 acres (162ha to 202ha) of gazing crops. The oats is dry sown but we won't sow the grazing wheat until we get rain."
All sale calves have been yard weaned on pellets and straw for five days, and they'll be fed up to sale time.
"They're just run on pasture with mum then taught to feed in the yards at weaning, so they're ready to go for anybody wanting to put them on feed. A small number are sold locally, but a lot of them over the past few years have gone to backgrounders in Queensland, because we're selling in big lots which is what the backgrounders like." | agronomy |

I have pulled a countless amount of edible weeds from the ground, leaving them to wilt and die in the path. We have probably gotten rid of enough lamb’s quarters to have as a significant portion of every meal for the past four weeks. Yesterday, I was weeding a bed of beets and uprooted two of the largest tomatillo plants currently on the farm. They were removed because that bed was for beets, not tomatillos. All of this unwanted biomass ends up getting turned into compost, but I really wanted to do something about it, however small. So, I ate some snails.
My progress has been discussed a bit here and there on the blog, but a quick recap: After collecting all of the snails, I had them on a diet of lettuce for about four days. I then switched their food source to cilantro, rosemary, Mexican tarragon (another farm “weed”), and leaves from a lemon tree to finish off their flavor for several days. Then, I cleaned them all and put them in a wooden box with a bowl of water for three days, changing the water and cleaning the box each day. Finally, this past Friday we cooked them.
After boiling the snails for five minutes, I pulled the meat out of the shell (a crazy, crazy sight) and removed a cartilaginous part that felt even less fun to eat than the snail slimefest. I heated up the wok, tossed in a lot of farm-grown garlic, onion, and cilantro, and finally added the snail meat. Justin had made tortillas, and snail tacos were served with a squeeze of lime juice, some fresh onion, and more cilantro.
I deem this project a success. Despite the slime factor of the snail meat, the flavor of the meal was pretty delicious and the people who ate the tacos are still alive. Also, I killed about 80 snails in the process and their deaths went towards feeding me, three others, and eventually the farm dog.
A few days later, I was reading Gary Paul Nabhan’s Coming Home to Eat: The Pleasures and Politics of Local Foods, which is a pretty interesting counterpart to Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life. While both are accounts of local eating, Kingsolver moved her family away from Arizona for her project while Nabhan chose to embrace the local foods of his Arizona foodshed. If the O’odham Indians survived in and around Flagstaff, Arizona for centuries, Nabhan posits, surely the foodshed provides food worth understanding and integrating into one’s diet.
Anyway, he writes about the gathering and roasting some hornworms, and then seeing many of the worms in the beds of a small farm. He writes: “Should I think of them as part of the harvest or as a pest? I realized that most statistics defined agriculture’s productivity far too narrowly, merely measuring the yield of intentionally sown crops in a field, ignoring or even discouraging the rest of life that clusters there.” The farmers and I definitely recognize the tendency for more and more wildlife to find their way to the farm and become part of the micro-ecosystems of the individual beds, but efforts are still made to quell any population of weed or bug that is not being grown intentionally.
My snail experiment worked to alter slightly how I think about snails when I see them munching on the cabbage and beet greens–as an organism that is just trying to survive, and one that can provide sustenance as well. | agronomy |

For over 50 years each September on the occasion of the Patron Saint Festival, the agricultural and livestock sector, both in the province and in the entire autonomous community of Castilla y León and neighboring communities, has had an inescapable date with Santa María del Páramo at the Multisectoral Fair, in which an endless number of innovative offers are offered with equipment and machinery for work on agricultural and livestock farms, preferably.
The project began in 1960 with the municipal government team of Mr. Saturnino Francisco Franco. These were other times when agriculture had little to do with today. The supplies and work equipment were other more rudimentary adapted to the needs of the moment.
The Fair has been evolving and growing with agriculture and livestock that is developed today. Its location had to be changed because the demand for exhibitors has increased considerably in recent years, placing it in “Prado de Abajo” and currently occupying 12,340 square meters.
Due to this evolution, crafts, an exhibition of organic products, spaces dedicated to plant protection and seeds, gardening, pastries, wines with designation of origin, sausages have been incorporated ... Although the central axis of the Fair is the exhibition of agricultural machinery and equipment and ranchers, as well as that of the most modern irrigation equipment that is gradually implanted in the area.
The Santa María del Páramo Fair has become an indispensable fair for thousands of farmers and for all the important companies in the agricultural sector, and the City Council has contributed to this, which year after year has invested for its consolidation with a great economic and personal effort. , to achieve the ends it pursues and for which it works: the defense and conservation of the rural environment.
This agricultural and multisectoral fair of utensils, tools, machinery and products from the field has, over the years, become deeply rooted, attracting a large number of farmers, ranchers and visitors from the Páramo region and its surroundings, becoming much more than an exclusively agricultural fair, although without ever forgetting its origins.
The geographical location of Santa María del Páramo and the dedication of a large number of residents in the wide region to agriculture, livestock and horticulture has considerably favored the development of the event, in which the latest-generation irrigation equipment has been increasing its protagonism as well as the space dedicated to seeds and phytosanitary products.
The Santa María del Páramo City Council has increased support for indigenous products such as DOT Tierra de León wines, Beans from La Bañeza and the organic farming sector, on the rise in recent fair editions.
Following the twinning in 2008 with the Portuguese town of Vila Flor, the presentation of its products was introduced at our Fair: high quality wines, cheeses and oils, as demonstrated by its exhibitors.

Get Ireland Growing Day is part of the Energia Get Ireland Growing initiative, in partnership with GIY. This year the initiative is aiming to sow the seed of community food growing nationwide by encouraging and supporting as many individuals and groups to come together for community food growing projects of all shapes and sizes.
In April 2022 the Energia Get Ireland Growing initiative announced the giveaway of 300 community growing starter kits across Ireland worth €42,500. Using these kits, communities across Ireland are encouraged to come together to become more sustainable and connected through growing food together. For those that missed out on the kits, there are still great prizes to be won for any community group hosting a local gathering on Get Ireland Growing Day, with free resources available at getirelandgrowing.ie or by downloading the GIY app.
Speaking of the upcoming day of celebration, Founder of GIY Michael Kelly says: “Energia Get Ireland Growing Day is a day to celebrate the growing going on in your community. It’s a day to gather and share the joy of growing and caring for your shared place and enjoy nature.
We are encouraging seed exchanges, doing a pollinator walk, a forage with friends, getting together to tackle the ‘big job’ in the garden, sharing some of the food you have grown or simply a cup of tea to get to know your food growing community better. It is a chance to get together and realise the power of communal vision and effort.”
Lorna Danaher, sponsorship manager for Energia also said ‘We’re so excited to have our second Energia Get Ireland Growing day. The success of last year laid an amazing foundation for us to be able to further engage and build growing communities. We look forward to seeing groups come together and complete the Energia Get Ireland Growing challenges on the app’
On Get Ireland Growing Day, it is also time for participants to submit their entries to be in with the chance of winning a range of prizes. To enter, participants are asked to post a picture of their community growing projects on any social media channel and tag @EnergiaGIG while also using the hashtag #GetIrelandGrowing.

Recently the European project LIFE+ Zero Residues has started. This project aims to improve the quality and sustainability of stone fruit production. This is a unique chain-wide approach that will address a number of key themes including residues and waste.
Residues of pesticides and food waste are important issues for the fruit and vegetables sector. And consumer demand for residue free products is increasing. While zero residue methods are widely available for vegetables, this is not the case for stone fruit (cherries, plums, nectarines) due to their vulnerability. At this moment, residue-free stone fruit is only grown in organic cultivation. But the scale is limited and the price difference with regular cultivation large.
Smart plant protection
Within the LIFE+ Zero Residues project solutions are developed to ensure that no residue remains in the environment and on the product. An example of this is a pesticide that breaks itself down. The development of a Zero Residue method is however only one part of the project. The project also focuses on improving the level of sustainability chain-wide, from production until the final product. It is the first time in this sector that the entire chain integrally addresses the problems of residues and waste.
The project members come from the Netherlands and Spain and represent the chain; pesticide manufacturers, growers, processors and research institutions. TOP bv from The Netherlands will investigate the required conditions of storage, transport and packaging in order to maintain the quality of the fruit after harvesting.
This project leads to a new chain approach next to the current organic and conventional cultivation. Growers who use these solutions can sell their products with a Zero Residue certificate and have a stronger competitive position with regards to sustainability, quality and price. | agronomy |

Farmers take loan from local sharks at astronomical rates to cultivate their land. This means the probability of getting stuck in a debt cycle is extremely high.
Our agriculture is still labour intensive and not technology intensive. So labour cost is high and yield is low. Add to this unpredictable weather and a farmer is in trouble.
Also green revolution while it led to increase in production also brought in unsustainable (environment, health, economics) agriculture practises.
yeah thats what i think too, its not the crop yield or aggressive stance by middlemen. It should be the debt that forces them to give up.
there is a good outlay in the current budget
free hand given to increase fertilizer prices and then give a cash subsidy to offset that
ban on exports as a regulation to control domestic prices
high cost of diesel impacting sowing, harvesting and transportation
This is such a naive take on farmer’s issues.
Go to villages, nobody is willing to loan to farmers. Lenders know that giving loan to a farmer is a risky gamble.
Because, Interest on load is directly tied to not only yield, but also to price of produce.
Also, if the farmer commits suicide, it becomes a political issue (lot of political candidates uses a farmer’s death to rally their minions) and build political capital, and lender will never see the money again.
Governments are bipolar (not just center, state too), when it comes to farmers issues. they do lot of good (mandated capital, fertilizer subsidy, minimum price gaurantee, emergency grants during cyclones or failed crop) but also does a lot of things which limit their financial future (cap on building new frozen storage facilities, not curbing middle men, not encouraging other industries)
Top issues when it comes to farmers distress are
. lack of access to quality seeds
. unpredictable weather
. no pricing power
. Agri commodities are difficult to produce consistent quality at scale. this moves pricing power to middlemen & not farmers.
. lack of access to capital. private lenders stopped lending long long ago. govt banks in rural branches are mandated to give some %age of loan to farmers, and all banks know & write off these loans.
. not enough godowns to store crop when price crashes because of over production. (this is the time farmers just dumpe the crops on road).
. Middlemen backed by politicians. even when price of tomato’es were 1 rupee per kilo (as per farmer), retail buyers never see this price because of cost & greediness of supply chains. Please note middle men are not just greedy businessmen, but also lot of poor people who set up stalls in every street. so they also form considerable voter base, and politicians will not go against them.
. Politicians see farmers as jawans, a necessary sacrifice. that is the only thing i could conclude from this bipolar laws. the laws are made to keep them alive, feed the society at low cost, make sure they depend on politicians for everything, so they form a reliable voter base.
Long term solutions are there, but govts have no vested interest in encouring them.
. access to quality seeds
. climate controlled farming
. agri co-ops will give some sort of pricing power (eg: hopcom, amul etc.,)
. let farmers operate direct to consumer facilities (Andhra successfully experiemented with this, but subsequent govt gutted this)
. scientific advancements in ensuring consistent quality of produce (hybrid crops helped this to some extent)
. convince farmers in same region to not produce same crop. Tamilnadu farmers in cavery basin allways lean to sugarcane, andhra farmers allways sow rice, telangana farmers allways choose cotton or tobacco, because either that is the only crop they know or that is highest paid crop. this eventually result in price crash.
. Train farmers in organic farming or costly crops. (which are better priced).
Consumers buy Kiwi or California almonds or organic grains branded by MNCs, farmers are losing out on lot of revenue because, nobody is interested in empowering them.
step 1:- Find a bussiness
step 2 :- Have no idea wtf you are doing?
step 3:- Have culture mixing with bussiness, giving away money bussiness including dowry, keep shrinking your cultivable land. Also have so many family members squander your farming land before you die. Duh!
step 4:- learn no money management, asset management. Learn to sell cultivable land during crisis. Don’t spend money on infrastructure cuz that’s for losers
Step 5:- be close to your community that treats you like trash based on your background. Borrow money local money lender at astronomical interest rates because community trust.
Step 6:- don’t trust big corporates , startups that are legit , rather trust local agent for selling produce cuz they are honest due to same community
Step 7:- accept you f***ed up that local agent bought your goods for dirty cheap price and sold for 10 times the price in city.
The thing is farming is the easiest bussiness to get in and to f*** up. Not only farmers commit Suicide even bussiness man who follows above steps too!

Shelter. Clothing. I remember growing up learning from school that these are our three basic needs. In this trinity, food is king for the very obvious reason that we will die without it. However, these days, with the proliferation of genetically-modified, chemically-manufactured, and highly-processed food, we can no longer say that what we are buying at the stores, and have been putting in our mouths, is safe.
The great news is we can grow our own food. Nothing is more empowering than growing your own food. The best way to make sure that we have good food is to grow it ourselves.
Have a Yard? Make a Food Garden.
If you are lucky enough to have access to land, consider growing your own food.
You really do not need as big of a land to grow your own food garden. For places where land is scarce, there’s urban permaculture. The idea is to maximize the use of land or a space, grow plants and food. In so doing, not only do you get to recultivate your relationship with nature, you also get to bring life back to earth. Courses are even being offered for people to learn permaculture as a philosophy and as a way to live life, especially with what’s going on right now, ecologically-speaking. When you learn about permaculture, you learn how much else there is to learn.
I am unsure as to when permaculture started in the Philippines but what I know is that we have been doing agro-farming/organic gardening for as long as humans have lived in the archipelago. We visited two agro-forests/farms in Mindanao, Philippines, back in 2014 — both successful that they have become hubs for people who want to study the kind of sustainable farming that they do.
“We only invented the word organic because we made things inorganic.
We only invented the word natural because we made things unnatural.
We only invented the word permaculture because we made agriculture.”

Most local farmers have always grown things naturally, even people who try to grow food in their own backyards do it as such, because we know that we would be harming the land if we do it otherwise. But of course, just as there are farmers who would go to the length of going on a hunger strike to rally against pesticides and GMOs, there would be others who are liberal and are willing to embrace science and the advancements that it brings. It’s strange to think though, that people here in the US are adopting our ways back home, while people back in the country want to embrace a certain kind of technology that more and more people here now are slowly and vehemently rejecting.
How about community-supported agriculture (CSA)?
If, however, like us, you don’t have land to grow your own food but would want to have access to fresh organics, you could also just sign up for a CSA.
So what is a CSA? CSA is a system wherein you get to buy fresh fruits and greens (and sometimes, even flowers!) direct from a farmer (or a group of farmers) in your local community. It is your ticket to having healthy food without having to spend tons of money, and if your CSA is like ours, you get to help your community too. After searching for CSA options here in the East Bay, we decided on Phat Beets, and we are in love!
So aside from getting some really fresh greens, what else do we love about CSA?
- It’s all about real good food.
- It’s all about helping the community.
- It’s all about buying local.
- It’s all about saving.
- It’s all about eating seasonally and understanding plant ecology.
You can even have a CSA box delivered to you (or you can pick it up!) at your convenience.
If you live in the US, Local Harvest has a directory of CSAs so you could check out one that’s nearest to you. In the Philippines, the best way to support community-scale agriculture is to buy fresh produce at the palengke (translation: market) and not at the large supermarkets. The meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables are often imported from other countries and are not nearly as fresh as locally produced food products. Local farmers can benefit when you by at the palengke, and you can save money by cutting out the middle-man.
There is a perception that the palengke is dirtier than supermarkets, but the food at supermarkets often sits out for much longer. I have often seen wilted vegetables and spoiled fish and meat at the fancy supermarkets because they sit on the shelves for a long time. Food at the palengke is usually replenished on a daily basis. I urge people to support local farmers and the local economy.
There is no more powerful way to do that than being conscious about what you put in your body. Eat food that is produced with love. | agronomy |

MILWAUKEE - It finally rained in portions of southeast Wisconsin on Friday. The precipitation won't remove southern Wisconsin from Severe Drought status but at least our plants, crops, and grass enjoyed a much needed drink.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could make it rain whenever we wanted? We can.
The practice, called cloud-seeding, involves sending silver iodide into clouds in order to boost snowfall or rainfall. Some states in the Southwest do this for irrigation and water production purposes.
Can it be done in Wisconsin?
Cloud-seeding could be successful here, according to weather-modification experts.
"It may be beneficial," said Arlen Huggens of the Desert Research Institute. "You may have a storm system develop during the spring growing season where you could seed those clouds and get some benefit."
But cloud-seeding wouldn't end a drought, Huggens said.
Don't expect to see cloud-seeding anytime soon however. Despite the dry conditions, Wisconsin farm experts tell me it would be too cost-prohibitive. | agronomy |

We had a major scramble as the trees, bees, and chicks all arrived around the same time (who planned that, anyway??) and of course, finishing the chickens’ pasture shelters took about three times longer than we thought it would.
But the trees are in the ground – sugar maples, white pines, black locusts, choke cherries, serviceberry, and elderberry – all chosen for multiple functions, including animal shelter, privacy, windbreak, bee forage, nitrogen fixation, wildlife habitat and food, and of course, food for us humans too. Now if we could just get some rain to keep them alive this summer…
The bees are installed in their hive and their colony is rapidly increasing in size with all the warm weather and early nectar flows. One good thing I can say about knapweed, besides the fact that its deep fuschia blooms make our fields look surreal at sunset: the bees really dig it.
And our 100 colored broiler chickens are happily living on pasture now. They are protected from predation by electric fencing, and every day we move their bottomless shelters to fresh ground (check out the pics in our Flickr album to see their home). They are fulfilling their duty as mobile pasture fertilizers, and enjoy a fresh daily harvest of bugs and plants at the same time. | agronomy |

Many beginners and expert gardeners alike grow roses in their gardens because they are so beautiful and easy to grow.
Roses come in so many different varieties and colors, there really is no end to how you can use them to brighten and beautify your own garden oasis. If you’re planning to plant roses in your garden, read on for some very helpful tips.
CHOOSING THE PERFECT ROSERoses are relatively easy to grow and maintain, especially if you take the time to learn all about their care. Spring is the perfect time to plant roses, so make sure you choose a variety of rose that thrives in your neck of the woods.
If you’re a beginner, choose a rose that is hardy and grows despite a lack of knowledge or care. Some varieties are known to be extremely hardy while others bloom in almost any climate.
Roses do require ideal growing conditions to thrive and bloom, so choose the planting spot with the following in mind.
Fertilizing your roses is an integral part of their care. They should be fertilized regularly with organic fertilizer to encourage a balanced soil pH and beneficial microbes.
- Roses need to be planted in fertile, well-draining soil. The soil should stay moist but not too wet or too dry.
- Roses prefer morning sun as it helps dry their petals and leaves, which prevents rot and fungal infections.
- Roses hate the hot afternoon sun.
- Roses require regular maintenance, so they should be planted where you can access them easily.
You can use compost, composted manure, organic, or natural fertilizers on your roses as these fertilizers provide the right nourishments for optimal growth. Banana peels make great rose fertilizer as they provide calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and phosphate.
Because roses are so beautiful and there are so many varieties to choose from, over-enthusiastic gardeners have a tendency to plant too many roses or rose varieties that don’t complement each other. The result can be a chaotic jumble that isn’t very pleasing to the eye.
Try to stick with just a few varieties that grow well together. Having just a few varieties living in harmony that are well-cared-for will always provide an eye-catching display.
According to some rose enthusiasts, caring for roses is good for the soul. If you’re planning to grow roses in your garden, be sure to follow the tips listed above. | agronomy |

Of all the hobbies, gardening is an all-time favorite For some it is even a great livelihood. Everybody can have a garden, even if it's a few herb plants in your kitchen window. Even those who are sure they could never grow a successful garden can do well. If you have a little time, learn the basics, and acquire the correct gardening tools, you will be successful. It's a known fact! Using the correct garden tools can turn a disappointing garden into a great garden. So how do you know which tools are right for you? Keep reading to learn about some basic tools that will help you on your successful gardening journey.
Your local nursery or garden store most likely has row after row of impressive, and confusing, garden tools, equipment, and machines. Nevertheless, before you begin, you need to buy yourself a pair of quality gardening gloves. It's enjoyable to place each seedling into the soil by hand; however, you need to make sure you wear your garden gloves so you don't injure your hands or damage your skin. Even though your gloves need to be constructed of durable fabric, it has to be flexible enough so you can use your hands easily. The fabric also needs to be thin enough so they don't hamper your movements. Do you have a wheelbarrows? If not, you probably should get one at some point. They are one of the easiest ways to move big loads of things from one place to another - particularly if those things are loose and need to be contained, like soil for a garden plot. Typically, you need to have a large garden for a wheelbarrow to be beneficial. Gardening in your apartment, or in containers, will not merit owning one. If you have a larger garden, though or need to traverse a wide space with whatever it is you are moving, a wheelbarrow is a must have.
If you do a lot of ground based gardening on a large area of land, a large hoe is absolutely necessary. The Dutch or Push Hoe is larger and is easier for people to use, particularly because the typical action of hoeing is jarring to the neck and the shoulders. The reason that you use a Dutch hoe is to prevent straining these areas of your body. If you have to go deeper into the soil, you can use a three-pronged hoe. It is much more efficient than using a rake. If your garden is quite large, it is important that you have a tool like this when working with a lot of soil.
There are all sorts of different tools that you need to have on hand when you want to grow your own garden.
We have pointed out some of these fundamental tools in this article. You will have a better understanding of the tools you will need once you have put a little time and effort into the process.
Gardening is a great activity. It is great for getting exercise and relaxing. It can be exciting. It can even be fortifying, if you grow plants that are edible (like veggies, fruits, herbs and spices). Many people enjoy gardening. It is simply part of their life. The nice thing is that it is something that everybody is capable of doing. Even if you have tried to grow plants and failed before, growing a garden is still something you can achieve. To complete this job, you need instructions, the right set of tools, and you will be on your way. Getting the right gardening tools - which ones are more info necessary? Now let's take a look at the gardening tools that you will need.
Gardeners need to have forks. These are essential tools that you must have. Aerating the soil a.k.a. turning it over so the compost can break down, is why you need to have a fork. If you want to use a tiller, this is always recommended over a fork. Moving things from place to place, especially larger things, can also be done with a fork. Although you can get different sized forks, at a variety of prices, getting the cheapest one is not recommended. Cheap forks aren't usually strong enough to really tackle soil and will most likely break. Investing in solid sturdy forks is much more preferable. This way you know that they can get the job done and that they will last a while. Even if you do not have a garden, website wheelbarrows are handy contraptions to have. Anyone that has a garden can use a wheelbarrow. If you are moving soil from one spot to another, it can keep everything contained, plus it makes it much easier to move. It is simply not necessary to have a wheelbarrow if you are doing container gardening or gardening in a small studio apartment. They simply won't need to use one at all. Anyone with a large garden, who needs to move things over a large area, regardless of what you're moving, needs to have a wheelbarrow to do it.
You may think you will keep your gardening to that of what will fit in a flower pot, but you should always have a shovel standing by in case you need it. Large gardens put directly into the ground are not the only ones that will require the use of a shovel; container gardens will also need this tool. A shovel, of course, is a little bigger than a spade and may be a little flatter, but that is the only difference.
A shovel will enable you to transport soil to different areas in your garden and will be handy for planting large plants. It can take on some of the more intense tasks that a spade simply cannot manage.
Anyone that does gardening should choose the appropriate tools to use. Choosing the right tools - which ones should be used by experts, and which ones should you use personally? We've talked about a few of the basics in this article. Once you have your garden, by working with it every day, you'll learn what you need to do in order to keep your garden active and flourishing. | agronomy |

Flax seed, considered by the world as wonder food, has a vast range of therapeutic and beneficial properties. It is a food and fiber crop that is grown in cooler regions of the world. The textiles made from flax are known in the West as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes and table linen. But now we know what linen has contributed to the fashion world.
Flax seed oil comes from the seeds of the flax plant. According to the Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute, A flax seed is about 40% oil by weight. Of this oil, 55% of it is omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3 essential fatty acid, are “good” fats that have been shown to have heart-healthy effects. Each tablespoon of ground flax seed contains about 1.8 grams of plant omega-3s. Lignans, which have both plant estrogen and antioxidant qualities. Flax seed contains 75 to 800 times more lignans than other plant foods. Fiber, Flax seed contains both the soluble and insoluble types.
Already sounds interesting? Here are some more information and facts about flax seed and the benefits that it can bring to your body when consumed.
Fights Against Cancer:
Recent studies and researches have concluded that flax seeds are effective in treating breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. At least two of the components in flax seed seem to contribute against the formation of cancer causing agents.
Researches also show that flax seeds also inhibited tumor incidence and growth. All thanks to omega 3 fatty acids.
Proper Brain Function:
Flax seeds contain DHA which benefits the brain. It prevents the brain from deteriorating over time and assures you a proper and normal functioning of the human brain. Forgetfulness and poor aptitude can be prevented and even cured when you take flax seed oil capsules.
Prevention of Arthritis:
This is because EPA is an anti-inflammatory compound which stimulates the release of more anti-inflammatory eicosanoids in the bloodstream, thus preventing arthritis and chronic inflammatory conditions.
Promotes Healthy Blood Flow:
It promotes healthy blood flow all over the body by preventing clots and fatty deposits in the arterial walls. Every capsule of flax seed oil taken into the body prevents cardiac complications like heart attacks and heart failure.
Check Blood Pressure And Cholesterol:
Rich source of omega-3 fatty acids can help lower blood cholesterol and blood pressure. Flax seed is known to control cholesterol by a significant amount, particularly in post-menopausal women.
Extremely high omega-3 alpha linolenic acid content of flax seeds, which is concentrated even further in cold pressed flax seed oil is beneficial in improving the strength and shine of your hair. Flax seeds also reduce dandruff and improve nail health.
Promote Healthy Skin:
Natural flax seed oil is packed with health benefits that you can’t go wrong with. A daily intake of this healthy oil offers a lot of goodness to your skin.
Play a Role In Burning Body Fat:
I guess you have certainly heard about the connection between Omega 3s and weight loss?
Flax seed raises your metabolic rate making it easier to burn off fat more quickly and effectively by exercise or hitting the gym. It improves the function of your liver (the fat-burning organ) and increases your body’s production of energy. It reduces significantly your body’s water retention. Your body will never be able to store the oil from flax seed as body fat, thus, flax seed has the healthy fat that your body needs.
Reduce menopause symptoms:
Many women go through a painful and uncomfortable menopause. Flax seed with its rich omega 3 fatty acids and other nutritional benefits, aid to a hassle free menopause.
Hope you find the post helpful. But before you start consuming flax seed oils, don’t forget to consult your doctor.

Freeranger Eggs - a niche market in a boutique segment of the egg industry Have your say on egg farm sustainability
With a very low stocking density on our 80 hectare farm - just 15 - 40 hens per hectare instead of the intensive 10,000 hens per hectare on most so-called free range farms, our operation is fully sustainable. We invite readers to visit our website to see how we do things. Very few farms operate in this way, most 'free range' producers are intensive operations with tens of thousands of hens confined in small areas. They may not be in cages but they are not able to range freely on pasture.Everyone has a chance to have a say on what they think of the sustainability of egg farms. The CSIRO’s social and economic systems research division is developing a community engagement proposal to collect comments from the community. Australian Eggs will then use that information to concoct a sustainability framework to guide the industry. The information could relate to any impacts the egg industry is having across areas such as the lives of people, animal welfare, environmental impacts and economic viability.

Freeranger Eggs is all about producing genuine free range eggs as well as educating consumers and other farmers
Freeranger Eggs is a multi- platform business. Our main activity is operating a sustainable farm producing free range eggs for customers in our local area. We use our website, blog and facebook page as educational tools to provide clear information to consumers – and also to encourage the establishment of other low density farms, Free range eggs are a niche market in a boutique industry and industrial-scale producers should not use the term ‘free range’. Our eBook on setting up a free range farm is available through our website and we are preparing a series of webinars to reach as many people as possible.
Saturday, March 17, 2018
CSIRO’s social and economic systems division is developing a community engagement project proposal for a sustainable agriculture Initiative and Australian Eggs says it will consider public release of its farm Sustainability Framework in April. Australian Eggs' idea of sustainability is likely to be underwhelming, so we propose to try to push the agenda with something like this:Farmland, the environment, consumers and poultry are being put at risk by new free range egg production standards allowing chickens to be run at stocking densities of 10,000 hens per hectare. Each adult hen produces half a cubic metre of manure a year, so at that density, each hectare of land will be covered by 5000 cubic metres of poultry manure every year - an unsustainable nutrient load which politicians are encouraging. When the most recent version of the Code was approved by the Primary Industries Ministerial Council and printed in 2002, it was a development of an earlier version. There has been no science or research behind high density free range proposals (other than the certainty of increased profits). No scientific review of production processes has been undertaken to demonstrate that the standards contained within the current voluntary Model Code are no longer applicable to the industry. The stocking density of 1500 hens per hectare for free range hens was developed by applying well established principles of agronomy. The issue of the upper limit on the long term stocking rate was debated strongly at the time, following pressure from local Councils and the EPA about how some farms were operating. Experience was taken into account of people who had farmed free range layers in the 1950’s and 60's, when all egg production was based on free range principles. Hens were often run under citrus trees It was recognised that for an operation to be sustainable, the stocking rate had to be low - less than 300 birds/acre (750/hectare). It was agreed that such a system should be regarded as Free Range egg production and the hens were to have access to the range during daylight hours. There was some dispute by new entrants to the industry who believed that they could design pasture rotation systems around their sheds that would allow higher rates. So it was decided to take an empirical approach and work out what the maximum stocking rate could be to avoid the measurable negative impacts of nutrient run off and soil degradation and still be theoretically possible to maintain pasture cover and avoid the issue of dust. Some argued that as most hens were in sheds at night and may be locked in for part of the day so that only a portion of the hens actually entered the range area at any one time, the impact was lessened. The dairy industry was very big at that time and local agronomists had data on the effects of applying very high rates of poultry manure on irrigated pasture. The agronomists studied the data on the maximum nutrient uptake a well maintained irrigated pasture could support and also avoid the problems of salinity build up observed in the dairy pastures. The stocking rate was calculated and a stocking density of up to 600 birds/acre (1500/hectare) was regarded as the maximum possible for long term sustainability. Those currently involved in free range egg production agree that the fundamental elements of the Model Code, or other regulations introduced by Governments should be: a maximum stocking density of 1500 hens per hectare; stocking density must be reduced in conditions where pasture or other vegetative cover cannot be maintained at the maximum stocking density; no beak trimming of hens is permitted except when other methods of controlling outbreaks of severe feather pecking or cannibalism have been tried and failed (using the same criteria in the current Model Code); and pullets must be allowed to range freely once they are fully feathered (about six weeks old). Phil Westwood is an environmental auditor, a former auditor for the National Egg Quality Assurance Program and a former President of the Free Range Egg and Poultry Association of Australia.

Consumers, poultry and the environment are being put at risk by new free range egg production standards allowing chickens to be run at stocking densities of 10,000 hens per hectare. Each adult hen produces half a cubic metre of manure a year, so at that density, each hectare of land will be covered by 5000 cubic metres of poultry manure every year - - an unsustainable nutrient load. It’s not only Australia where intensive production is causing concern. In Wales,even though stocking densities are far less than the Australian standard, the nutrient levels are creating widespread concerns because of the potential impact on rivers and wildlife. Wales Online reports that particular concerns have been expressed for mammals like otters and dormice as well as for fish like eels and brown trout. Wildlife officials say “We have a number of concerns, mainly around the sheer number of these units that have been operating, new ones that have been given consent and applications that are in the pipeline. “Whilst nobody objects to farmers wanting to diversify and increase their profitability, there is a worry that the amount of phosphate that comes from chicken manure is damaging to the river system”. Consumers and farmers need to put pressure on politicians to set more realistic standard s in Australia to ensure land sustainability, animal welfare and food safety.
Sunday, March 11, 2018
New labelling requirements and standards for free range egg production are likely to destroy any remaining consumer confidence in the Australian egg industry. The standard allows intensive production systems to be classified as free range and protects intensive producers from prosecution under Australian Consumer Law. The new standard allows unscrupulous producers to continue to mislead customers. Ministers have regulated that an outdoor stocking density of 10,000 hens per hectare is classified as free range .

It’s slow-going, but we still hope to achieve our crowd funding target to develop webinars encouraging more free range farms to be established. Everyone can help to establish more genuine, small scale free range eggs farms by supporting a programme of webinars demonstrating all the processes involved. The webinars will encourage hundreds more farms to be established all over Australia and other parts of the world. Freeranger Eggs in South Gippsland and the Freeranger Club have run workshops in the past, but the webinars will reach far more potential egg farmers. An eBook on starting a free range farm is also available through the Freeranger website.

The drought is predicted to be the most severe in modern times, worse than those in 1977 and 1991. Thousands of acres of row crops already have been fallowed, with more to follow. The snowpack in the Northern Sierra, home to some of the state's most important reservoirs, proved to be just 49 percent of average. Water agencies throughout the state are scrambling to adopt conservation mandates.
The Texan drought is reaching historic proportion . Dry conditions near Austin and San Antonio have been exceeded only once before—the drought of 1917-18. 88 percent of Texas is experiencing abnormally dry conditions, and 18 percent of the state is in either extreme or exceptional drought conditions. The drought areas have been expanding almost every month. Conditions in Texas are so bad cattle are keeling over in parched pastures and dying. Lack of rainfall has left pastures barren, and cattle producers have resorted to feeding animals hay. Irreversible damage has been done to winter wheat crops in Texas. Both short and long-term forecasts don't call for much rain at all, which means the Texas drought is set to get worse.
Augusta Region (Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina)
The Augusta region has been suffering from a worsening two year drought. Augusta's rainfall deficit is already approaching 2 inches so far in 2009, with January being the driest since 1989.
Florida has been hard hit by winter drought, damaging crops, and half of state is in some level of a drought. | agronomy |

The MoU establishes an agreement between St. Maarten, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius on the way forward to improve food safety for the respective islands through networking and information sharing that will bolster the rate of food production on the islands.
Each island signing on to the MoU shared its Agricultural initiatives during the event. The St. Maarten delegation led by Minister Lambriex shared their vision of implementing agriculture in the local schools. St. Maarten’s initiative focuses on “the value of experiential learning, promoting food education, and instilling in students a sense of pride and responsibility.” The TEATT Ministry shared its hopes to create a new generation of “environmentally conscious individuals with an appreciation for local food production by including Agriculture in the local school curriculum on St. Maarten.”
The Bonaire delegation’s vision includes creating a digital shared information platform to centralize knowledge, share best practices and improve communication amongst farmers and experts in the Agricultural industry.
The team from St. Eustatius envisions concentrating their efforts on improving Agriculture by improving access to funding for farmers. They propose streamlining funding options, facilitating loans and promoting investment opportunities in the agriculture sector, which will alleviate the challenges farmers presently face in securing funding.
In the case of the Saba delegation, their presentation at the Conference centred on promoting responsible fishing practices. The initiative also addressed marine conservation and the need for a balanced ecosystem. By promoting sustainable fishing methods and supporting local fishermen, the Saba Agriculture sector hopes to enhance the quality and consistency of fishery products on the island.
Aruba’s group enthusiastically presented their initiative on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).
They highlighted the importance of knowledge-sharing and collaboration among farmers,
Stakeholders, and consumers. The GAP initiative aimed to enhance productivity, ensure food safety, and foster sustainable agricultural practices through comprehensive guidelines and standards. The Curacao delegation’s presentation was focused on “the Green Economy.” They outlined their plans to prioritize sustainable development, renewable energy, and responsible land use. They aim to “promote economic growth while minimizing environmental impact, aligning with the principles of a green and resilient economy.”
Minister Lambriex said the goal of the MOU is to ensure that St. Maarten and the other countries “prioritize food security through the establishment of coordinated action as a means of increasing natural food production.”
He said the signing agreement marked a new era of cooperation between the Caribbean Netherlands sister islands. “Since taking office, I have maintained that one of my top priorities is promoting sustainable agriculture practices on the island. With the agreement signed in Aruba, our local farmers can use an extensive network of knowledge, technology and best practices to improve their production level and ultimately reduce our dependency on importing certain food products,” said Minister Lambriex.
The attendees at the Conference also received first-hand updates on two projects in Bonaire, the animal tagging system and a children’s animal farm, and fostering young entrepreneurs among children with special needs that have been very successful.
Lambriex said that everyone in attendance at the Conference has acknowledged that taking full ownership of the outcome of agricultural food production and food safety plans is essential. For this reason, each island selected specific projects they would execute and report back to the group on the progress. He said the MoU provides a clear direction for collaboration between the islands, which St. Maarten will benefit significantly from.
Minister Lambriex, in his remarks, expressed his gratitude to the representatives and dignitaries for their commitment to working together to improve the lives of the people of the sister islands. He emphasized the importance of sustainable agriculture and the need to reduce dependence on imported food. He also highlighted the benefits of the work agreements, which would help to address labour shortages and support economic growth across the sister islands. | agronomy |

Hot days and soft sand garden soil are the conditions that you encounter in Seminole County. Additionally the long lasting state irrigation limits, and you are therefore stuck with a tough undertaking. These kinds of conditions make maintaining your landscape irrigation system in good working order a necessity. Two main reasons of coping with these conditions is to remember to be applying water to your landscape for the ideal amount of time and that you're making use of the appropriate landscaping irrigation heads. As soon as these considerations are fulfilled, the next essential endeavor is looking after the system. Part one of keeping up yourin ground irrigation is to view it while it is running. All the in ground sprinkler irrigation heads ought to throw water to their connecting heads. This kind of lack of equal distribution commonly results in dead areas in the backyard. To avoid places of dead, dried out grass, you simply must find out how even the application of water is over your grass. Sprinkler rotor heads, which are the bigger landscape sprinkler heads that move, usually quit moving eventually and need to be repaired.
Our next sort of irrigation is the misting head. It's quite common for these to get stuck once they pop up and for the mist nozzles to block up. Lots of water can be lost by these heads when the irrigation head gets broken attributable to sticking up out of the lawn. Trickle irrigation can be challenging to determine as to whether it is working properly. Minimal volume irrigating is required for Seminole County brand-new house construction in garden shrub beds. Finally and perhaps most of all, is to examine the segment operating intervals on the sprinkler system clock. Several types of landscaping irrigation products require varied functioning periods, and that's why they should not be incorporated on the same segment. Your able to use approximate operational periods in every sort of https://goo.gl/XFcRtj space you possess and then manipulate the period as proper. Rotors, which are the heads that swivel, will need to run more than go to this site the spray heads Minimal volume level or trickle landscape sprinklers should certainly perform for a the very least of sixty minutes.

Irrigation materials usually do not last long-term because of these high use conditions. Every early Spring is an efficient time for you to have a look at just how well the irrigation is performing.

Consequently you https://goo.gl/XFcRtj must understand that gallons per minute is just specifically how the countless landscaping irrigation devices are quantified. The locations which you sprinkle should be separated depending on the g.p.m. of your landscape irrigation products. The subsequent step to consider is busted devices. This might financially impact you a lot of money and consume an excessive amount of tap water.

You have to think site link about things like kind of grass, land type bright and dark places, dimensions and shape of the landscape, together with the time you’ll most likely be irrigating. From all of the many years of my very own experience I’ve learned that matched or even watering is fundamental for sustaining a good garden, but you've some room for miscalculations when working with turf. An overwatered or underwatered area will disclose far easier on a garden then in a flower bed. I find the chief reason behind this is the discrepancies inside the system between shrubbery and grass.Naturally sprinkler head pattern is simply a part of a appropriate landscaping irrigation method style, nonetheless a tremendously significant one. | agronomy |

General categories of work include:
The facility is located on the picturesque 1,200-acre Hidden Mesa Open Space with trails, historic buildings and recreational opportunities. Camaraderie develops between the various teams of volunteers. Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about fruit, nut, vegetable, native and pollinator plants adapted to the Front Range. They will have the opportunity to learn or even develop innovative growing systems and protocols to increase the cropping success on the Front Range. Many of the volunteers are certified Master Gardeners or have knowledge and experience with various crops and agricultural systems; they love to discuss myriad agricultural and horticultural topics. Many volunteers increase the productivity of their own gardens and edible landscapes with the knowledge and experience they gain at Hidden Mesa.
Time Commitment: Main volunteer times are Tuesdays from roughly 8 AM to 1 PM. Some work is done at other times too. Autonomous individual or small group work is possible once a volunteer learns the tasks and systems. Volunteers may work as little as one day per season or as much as they choose.
Benefits to Volunteer: Volunteers at the Research and Demonstration Orchard often feel a sense of gratification in the physical work they do there. Frequently, a sense of nostalgia is satisfied by working with fruiting plants, vegetable production, native pollinators and being surrounded by a large flock of free-range chickens and ducks. Altruism is standard fare; volunteers produce and donate between 1,500-5,000 lbs. of food into local food banks annually. Of course, volunteers get to take some of the produce home too! | agronomy |

Our Kitamu offerings come to us from more than 100 smallholder members of the Heyza AMCOS in Tanzania’s Mbozi region. The majority of the contributing smallholder producers maintain farms that are less than 1 hectare and deliver freshly-picked cherries daily throughout the harvest season. Once the washing station has collected enough cherries for processing that day, the cherries are sorted and pulped, fermented for up to 72 hours, washed with clean water, graded, and moved to raised beds for drying. This AMCOS was founded in the early 2000’s and today, provided members with fertilizers and small loans to help support better production.

In general, grass shouldn’t be mowed lower than three inches, so it’s best to wait until your new turf reaches at least 3.5 inches. Cutting too low can cause stress to the new roots of your turf, which will remain delicate for several weeks.
How often should lawn be mowed?
The rate of grass growth and desired height of your lawn determine how often you need to mow. Typically, mowing once a week during the growing season should suffice to keep your lawn healthy. The rest of the time, you can reduce the frequency of cutting to every other week, as necessary.
Should you mow or whipper snip first?
So, if you are to ask us what should come first, we would say whipper snip. Then mow the lawn and if you have an edger then do the edge. … Some even trim the edges and give it a blow before they mow as well – whatever makes you happy and provides the best result.
Can you mow lawns with line trimmer?
You can mow the lawn with a strimmer. However, you must pick a model that is not extremely powerful or heavy. Indeed, evenly cutting the grass requires you to have steady hands and control. Cutting the grass with a strimmer can take longer due to the reduced size of the trimmer’s blade.
Is Pulling weeds a waste of time?
Pulling annual and biennial weeds can be effective if they are pulled before the plants go to seed. … They store nutrients in their roots and re-grow each year from the roots or seed. Hand-pulling is not as successful because perennials are often stimulated from root or stem disturbances.
What kills weeds permanently?
Permanent Weed and Grass Killer Spray
A non-selective weed killer, such as Roundup, is a great option for killing weeds and grass permanently. The Glyphosate in Roundup works by infiltrating the plant through the leaves. From there, it attacks all plant systems and kills them completely, including the roots.
Do weeds grow back after pulling?
If you yank only the leaves, weeds will grow back. Grab the weed close to the ground and pull straight up. Do it right the first time, you’re done. (Unless pieces of the root break off in the ground.

Financial security, access to information & job opportunities create the foundation of sustainable economic equality.
Problem: Subsistence-Level or Low-Productivity Farming
Agriculture is the dominant profession of the world’s poor. 80% of Africa’s poor are rural farm families, trapped in a state of subsistence-level, low-productivity farming with extremely low yields.
The world’s poorest farmers lack the resources, training and/or funds necessary to increase their farm’s productivity. In many remote farming villages, basic technologies like seed and fertilizer are often unavailable. Even when available, many farm families don’t have the capital required to purchase these resources to increase productivity. Without access to agricultural best practices, farmers are struggling to optimize their farming output. Post-harvest, they face issues like inadequate storage, pest infestations, spoilage & market/government-caused fluctuations that all result in extremely low profits.
Holistically Addressing The Barriers To Small Farmer Productivity.
- Deliver thousands of tons of high-quality farm inputs within walking distance to every small farmer at an extremely affordable price – Last Mile Delivery.
- Deliver in-field training on best farming practices.
- During harvest, provide farmers with the tools & knowledge to safely store their harvest allowing them to sell during the off-season for higher profits.
- Engage governments, microfinance organization or other key agricultural actors to shape policy decisions that strengthen agricultural ecosystems.
With an average loan of $71, One Acre Fund farmers saw an average increase of 50% in farm income or $120 in incremental profit each year.
Women lack access to capital for productive investments, poor information about managing assets & are unable to make risky but potential life-changing choices due to the absence of a safety net or savings buffer.
- Give resources to organizations that have proven program to support new entrepreneurs, especially women entrepreneurs.
- Employ group-based approaches that bring together diverse skill sets, spread risk, build social capital & produce cost-efficiencies for all.
- Offer grants, NOT loans, to allow vulnerable people to immediately take the risk of entrepreneurship in order to improve their standard of living.
- Empower women to provide for their familes through entreprenuership.
Village Enterprise’s program cost is $595 per business. This improves the standard of living for approximately 20 individuals thus translating the cost to improve someone’s life for just $30 per person.
Problem: Poverty Traps & Lack of Support For Women Entrepreneurs
The world’s very poorest people are caught in a cycle of poverty – especially for women & girls who face many barriers to improve their standard of living.
Problem: Economic Inequality & Social Injustice
Around 700 million people worldwide live on less than $1.90 a day. Financial security, access to information & job opportunities are the foundation of sustainable economic equality. Spurring economic development by offering resources & training is the best way to help the world’s poorest break the cycle of poverty.
Economic inequality is caused by a multitude of factors for those living in extreme poverty. Lack of access to education, basic health care, inadequate food & reliable shelter — all make it very difficult for the world’s poorest to break out of the cycle of poverty. Similarly, the poor and politically disenfranchised – mostly women and girls, racial and sexual minorities – are particular vulnerable to the effects of conflicts, cultural discrimination & injustice.
- The best way to bring about real change is to implement multifaceted, broad solutions to the root causes/problems and ramifications of poverty.
- These include: long-term health & welness development, emergency & disaster relief, as well as political advocacy for sustainable change.
With low-cost solutions to target the root causes/problems that cause extreme poverty, we can make a signficant improvement to those living on less than $1.90 per day. | agronomy |

Recently, a number of schemes intended to advance sustainable agriculture and guarantee the well-being of farmers have been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, which is presided over by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The planned scheme aims to lower the cost of subsidies for chemical fertilizers, which is expected to increase to Rs 2.25 lakh crore in 2022–2023, up 39% from the Rs 1.62 lakh crore for the previous year.
PM PRANAM Scheme
The PM-PRANAM program, which encourages states to employ non-chemical alternatives to conventional fertilizers, was approved by the Union Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Wednesday. Additionally, the CCEA opted to extend the present urea subsidy for three more years, beginning in FY23, at a cost of Rs 3.68 trillion.
|Objective||Promoting sustainable farming and reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers|
|Expected Savings||Rs 2.25 Lakh Crore in 2022-2023|
|Grant Allocation||50% of subsidy savings passed on to states|
The urea subsidy expenditure prediction, according to fertilizer minister Mansukh Mandaviya, is only an estimate and not a ceiling; the Centre would still provide more funds as needed. The PM-PRANAM scheme and the use of sulfur-coated urea (Urea Gold) to treat soil inadequacies are two of these projects. The Cabinet has also set aside a sizeable subsidy for organic manure.
Why has PM PRANAM been launched?
The expected cost of the subsidy for chemical fertilizers in 2022–23 is Rs 2.25 lakh crore.
The financial capacity of the government is insufficient to support such a subsidy load.
This program is also consistent with the government’s recent efforts to encourage the balanced use of fertilizers or alternative fertilizers.
Utilizing Subsidy Savings
The state that saves the money will get a grant equal to 50% of the subsidy savings.
Up to 70% of the plan’s funding may be used to construct village, block, and district assets related to alternate fertilizer technological adoption and production. TFarmers, panchayats, farmer producer organizations, and self-help groups may all get rewards from the remaining 30% of the grant money if they work to decrease their fertilizer use and spread information on bilateral, community-based fertilizer management. regional, and international groupings and agreements that either involve India or have an impact on India’s interests.
PM-PRANAM Encouraging Balanced Fertilizer Use
Cabinet members have given their stamp of approval to PM-PRANAM (PM Programme for Restoration, Awareness, Generation, Nourishment, and Amelioration of Mother Earth). This program attempts to encourage nations to promote non-chemical fertilizers and lessen their dependence on them. Participating states in PM-PRANAM will get subsidies as compensation for cutting down on the use of chemical fertilizers.
For instance, the subsidy savings would be Rs 3,000 crore if a state reduced its usage of traditional fertilizers by a certain quantity, say 3 lakh tonnes. The state would get 50% (Rs. 1,500 crores) of the subsidy savings from the federal government in order to encourage the use of alternative fertilizers and fund other development initiatives.
Introduction of Sulphur-Coated Urea (Urea Gold)
The government has authorized the use of sulfur-coated urea, often known as Urea Gold, to treat sulfur shortages in the soil. This is the first time this kind of urea has been used in the nation. The efficacy of sulfur-coated urea in absorbing nitrogen is higher than that of other varieties, at 78% (to 30% for regular urea). The government wants to deploy Urea Gold to improve soil health, lower farmers’ input costs, and increase output and productivity. | agronomy |

The EU Commission has released a report outlining a recent study surrounding this method, and the benefits this can have locally and within a wider community.
A Change is Needed
As more CO2 is being released into the atmosphere – causing a sharp rise in temperature globally – practical solutions are imperative to dampen this concerning upward trajectory. Cutting emissions through travel or planting more trees are becoming more common place in the efforts of lowering one’s carbon footprint, however the agricultural industry has the power to make a considerable difference. A new method, referred to as Carbon Farming, is showing significant help to the cause.
What is Carbon Farming?
Carbon Farming encompasses the farming methods used with the goal of gaining more CO 2 than is lost throughout the process, and therefore mitigating climate change. This includes the management of both land and livestock and can occur in various forms including producing biomass to replace carbon-intensive materials. However, one of the most frequently used is through our soil; soil carbon sequestration is the long-term storage of carbon in the soil as a solution to widespread emissions. A primary explanation of this can be seen in the video below:
How can Carbon Farming be implemented?
Implementation of Carbon Farming practices require both farmers and businesses or sponsors, which could include partnerships with local sustainable food providers all the way to government sponsorships (seen below). The EU Commission describe this as being either an action-based scheme, “rewarding land managers for putting in place climate-friendly agricultural practices”, or results-based scheme, “payment to land managers is directly linked to measurable indicators of the climate benefits they provide.” The latter scheme is preferential to the EU Commission as the use of funds is more congruous with the intended climate goal and gives farmers incentives as well as the flexibility to implement and manage these methods themselves.
Countries taking initiatives for Carbon Farming
In Australia, the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) incentivizes Australian businesses to “cut the amount of greenhouse gases they create and to undertake activities that store carbon.” This is not limited to purely the agricultural sector, however there is a specific Carbon Farming Initiative as a component to the ERF, beginning in 2011, which allows land managers to gain carbon credits through implementing these practices throughout their farming processes.
France launched the Label Bas Carbone (French Carbon Standard) in November 2018, a framework for voluntary carbon reduction project which helps guarantee the integrity of carbon reduction projects. Its first project is a collective led by the France Carbon Agri Association and will bring together over 300 farmers, projecting to generate 137,936 tonnes of CO2 over five years.
The EU Commission released a report in April 2021, outlining the results of their two-year study on setting up Carbon Farming within the EU. The Commission plans to launch the Carbon Farming initiative by the end of 2021, suggesting that projects “should be developed at a local or regional level in order to gather experience” in the field, including improving design aspects, implementations processes and furthering the knowledge and awareness needed for sponsors and businesses. As Carbon Farming becomes more widespread, more policy makers across countries are expected to officially recognise this as a beneficial method of farming.
German organizations implementing Carbon Farming
There are increasingly more ways to help land managers to introduce Carbon Farming into their practices; predominantly through companies who create partnerships between farmers and local business or consumers. An example of such an organization in Germany is Klim, who believe the key to solving climate change is through our soil. Land managers who use regenerative practices can become certified through the company, and when consumers buy a Klim product, the farmers are compensated 100%, allowing them the freedom to create climate conscious practices including Carbon Farming.
Taking carbon farming a step further, Embauerment works to link farmers, with citizens and key partners such as grocery retail or catering companies, where stakeholders can make the decision of contributing/sponsoring the shift to organic farming. By entering the address postcode in their website, anyone can see the offers from different regional farms and choose to support climate conscious farming within Germany. In return for their support, the users can receive products, gifts or even offers for tractor riding, cooking, milking, horseback riding etc.
Giving Farmers the Power
The undertaking of such a massive shift in the farming process to better the climate long-term can only be possible with the support and leadership from the managers of the land, the farmers. The hashtag #wirstehendrauf (we stand on it) celebrates the work of such people in 24 different video portraits which examine various aspects of sustainable agriculture. Follow the channel, share the videos and spread the word about these inspiring people, who are not only providing us with food everyday, but also making an effort to prevent climate change.

The project, developed by the company Cordonier & Rey SA and sponsored by the commune of Salgesch, addresses the problem of water shortage affecting the commune. The objective of this pilot project is to reduce the water needs of local agriculture, as part of the development of the Lienne-Raspille project. The latter aims to address water shortages in 7 communes in the Sierre region (Icogne, Lens, Crans-Montana, Noble-Contrée, Sierre, Salgesch and Varen) by storing water in the Tseuzier dam.
The #prixalpiq will enable the commune of Salgesch to set up a new irrigation system that will reduce water requirements by 20 to 40%. This state-of-the-art project will replace obsolete irrigation systems with an innovative drip irrigation system coupled with resonant water treatment that measures soil moisture in real time and provides access to a coordinated irrigation schedule (Aqua4D technology).
Once the pilot phase is completed (one agricultural season), it could then be replicated in the other communes of the Lienne-Raspille project to optimise their irrigation networks. On a larger scale, it will enable communes to work together to respond to the effects of climate change.
Droople SA's "WaSTeLeSS" project, developed in partnership with EPFL and ALTIS Groupe SA and supported by Innosuisse, offers an innovative service – a digital platform for the management of water-consuming equipment – that allows for more transparent and efficient management of water and its consumption. The service, based on a consumer-pays model, reduces overall cold and hot water consumption in buildings where it is used by an average of 20%. Thanks to #prixalpiq, this platform, already operational in a test environment, will be deployed at the Espace Saint-Marc in Le Châble – a space that welcomes more than 40,000 visitors per year – in partnership with the commune of Val de Bagnes. Visitors will be informed about the amount of water they use and will therefore become aware of the impact of their actions. It should be noted that user awareness can reduce water consumption by 10 to 15%.
The project establishes a new model of collaboration with the water and energy provider and distributor ALTIS Groupe SA, in order to offer services that correspond to the needs of the final consumer according to the "consumer-pays" model.
In the coming decades, water management will be a major challenge – for agriculture, energy, tourism, drinking water, and the environment. This is especially true for the canton of Valais, considered Switzerland’s reservoir.
Alpiq launched the #prixalpiq, in partnership with the Association des communes concédantes du Valais (ACC), with the aim of conserving and recycling this precious resource. The prize will be awarded annually to a project promoting a more sustainable use of water and led by a municipality in the canton of Valais. The winner will receive a financial contribution as well as support from Alpiq, who will work with them for a year to help implement the project.
The #prixalpiq is open not only to municipalities but also to universities of applied sciences, design offices, and anyone with an idea or project relating to water. Those interested should ask a municipality to sponsor them and submit a joint application to #prixalpiq.
#prixalpiq is open to all municipalities in the canton of Valais. They can:
Submit a project themselves
Sponsor and submit a project put forward by students or researchers from universities of applied studies, design offices, companies, or individuals
Universities of applied studies and design offices with projects related to water and its sustainable use are invited to contact Valais municipalities to ask for sponsorship.
The winner of #prixalpiq will be awarded a prize worth CHF 40,000. The judging panel will decide on the nature of the prize depending on the selected project. The winner will receive a minimum of CHF 20,000 in cash, with the remainder of the prize potentially being awarded in the form of coaching.
The runner-up, the Judge’s choice award, will receive a prize of CHF 10,000 in cash.
All applications must be electronic and sent via email to: [email protected] or via application form by 31 May 2021.
Applications must include the following documents:
Extract from the commercial register if the project leader is a company
Business plan in French or German (maximum length: 10 A4 pages), describing the project and including all information required to complete it. The business plan must include:
how water will be managed sustainably
project opportunities and risks
overall project cost
project implementation schedule
expected benefits for the sponsoring municipality
Business plan summary in French or German (maximum length: three A4 pages)
The selection criteria are:
The project is related to water, a resource for various sectors: energy, agriculture, tourism, environment, drinking water, and so on.
The project recycles, conserves, and improves the use of water resources in a sustainable way.
The project is submitted by one or multiple Valais municipalities and will take place in this municipality/these municipalities.
Only projects which meet these selection criteria will be submitted to the judging panel for consideration. They will be assessed by the panel according to following criteria:
Level of sustainability
Soundness of the business plan
Competency of the project leader or leaders
Economic and social benefits for the municipality where the project will be implemented
Level of innovation
The deadline for applications is 31 May 2021.
The #prixalpiq will be awarded for the first time at an official ceremony in October 2021.
As a hub for hydropower generation, the Valais is at the heart of Alpiq’s work and in its DNA. We’ve been using this energy source for over a century and we work with the Valais municipalities to manage their water resources.
In the face of global warming, managing the challenges around water and its many roles is going to be both crucial and increasingly complex. This resource, essential for the canton’s growth and its residents’ wellbeing, needs to be conserved and recycled.
With the #prixalpiq, we wanted to give municipalities and their partners hands-on support with their work on sustainable and efficient water management.
We’re happy to answer any questions. | agronomy |

Or you do it with a regular rake, and that is time-consuming. Either you take an electric leaf blower, but that makes a lot of noise. So now comes up with a third option. The company has designed a garden clearer that quickly but silently collects leaves. Steven Van Driessche tests him for De Inspecteur but is not entirely convinced.
Gardena recently introduced the garden clearer for autumn leaves, grass clippings, and scarifying residues. The device is environmentally friendly, and it works without a motor or battery, and, according to the manufacturer, it is quiet and very effective. “Without much effort, the garden is quickly tidy again,” according to the advertisement. And another advantage: because the thing is a cart that you push, you can clear leaves without too much strain on your back.
“The Thing Takes Up a Lot of Space”
Steven Van Driessche is happy to apply to test the garden clearer. “I have several fruit trees in the garden and also shrubs that lose their leaves. So more than enough leaf fall.”
The garden clearer is not supplied in its entirety. Steven has yet to assemble the thing himself. “That is very simple. The device is self-explanatory. But when it is put together, it does take up a lot of space. You cannot fold the long handle. There are also no supports so that you can store the device upright. ”
“It Does What It Promises”
Steven is satisfied with the way the garden clearer works. “You can compare it with the operation of an old-fashioned lawnmower. You push the device forward and the brushes at the bottom, then turn. This pushes the leaves into the collector. That goes very well.”
You can set the leaf clearer at different heights, depending on the length of your grass or the surface. “Adjusting it is very easy. Although I think the thing works best on my lawn. More leaves remain on the patio tiles.”
Steven is satisfied with the speed with which he can clear his lawn from leaves. “It’s not difficult. You push the garden clearer forward, and the leaves fall in by themselves. You have to empty the container often. Because the leaves are not reduced in size, it fills up quickly.”
“You can quickly clear the large surfaces of your garden without bending over.”
– Steven Van Driessche, test candidate
Steven finds the garden clearer, especially suitable for people who have a neat garden. “If your lawn mainly consists of straight sections, you can remove the leaves very quickly here. However, you cannot remove the leaves in small corners with this device. And if your garden is a bit bumpy, it will not work either. Then the device will remain guaranteed to sting.”
The Price Is a Bit Too High
The garden clearer costs about 130 euros. Steven finds that on the expensive side. “I wouldn’t give that money. For that price, you have already bought a lot of ordinary rakes. Besides, it is mainly a gadget and not necessary garden tools.”
7 Out of 10
All in all, the garden clearer gets a good score from Steven. “The price is disappointing, but the thing does what it promises, and it is straightforward to use.” | agronomy |

They sustain food production – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimates that of the 100 crop species providing 90% of food worldwide, 71 are pollinated by bees – and biodiversity by providing essential pollination for a wide range of crops and wild plants.
As well as their crucial enabling role as pollinators, bees – particularly honeybees – contribute to human wealth and wellbeing directly through the production of honey and other food and feed supplies such as pollen, wax for food processing, propolis in food technology, and royal jelly as a dietary supplement and ingredient in food.
But honey bees are in trouble. In recent years, beekeepers have reported unusual weakening of numbers and colony losses, particularly in North America and western Europe.
No single cause of declining bee numbers has been identified. However, several contributing factors have been put forward. These fall broadly into three groups: | agronomy |

The Forest Development Program started in 1985, having the Instituto Estadual de Florestas (IEF) [Forest State Institute] as its partner, and through the years it has provided an alternative income source, work and production diversification in the rural sector.
The Program creates commercial forests in areas that are not suitable for farming or cattle raising. Forest Development, besides being a profitable agribusiness, offers further benefits to the environment and to the community, increasing the income and the quality of life of the farmers, while preserving native forests and assuring financial liquidity of the project.
Environment preservation is one of the pillars of the Program, through which the rural producers are learning to cultivate forests, thus reducing the pressure on native forests, hydric resources and local fauna.
Through Forest Development, CENIBRA integrates the communities to the Cellulose Production Business, through the production of renewable eucalyptus forests, based on a solid partnership with technology transfer, funding of activities and the supply of inputs, clonal seedlings, and specialized technical assistance.
The Program is active in 89 municipalities of the State of Minas Gerais, located within a maximum distance of 150km from its industrial Pulp Mill. | agronomy |

We utilize both our Bell UH1H helicopters and Air Tractor 802 airplanes to spray. We choose the right machine for the mission dependent upon the terrain. All of our aircraft are outfitted with Tracmap DGPS swath guidance systems which allows us to upload and download shapefiles easily. We have also incorporated an auto on/off system to our swath guidance system for increased accuracy and safety (the pilot can concentrate on flying instead of operating the spray system). The auto on/off has become invaluable to us when spraying around sensitive areas.
We spray Federal, State, County and private landowners for control of invasive annual grasses including Medusahead Rye, Cheatgrass, and North Africa Grass using imazapic herbicide to improve sage grouse habitat. And, we mix our loads in stainless steel tanks to prevent contamination.
We spray a certified organic product called Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) to control European and Asian Gypsy Moth, Tussock Moth and Western Spruce Budworm. CBH utilizes Micronaire au 5000 and 7000 rotary atomizers to achieve the proper droplet size.
There are over 5,000 forms of rust. It is usually time sensitive to apply, so utilizing our larger aircraft allow us to cover more area in a shorter amount of time.
We apply urea, dap or a blended fertilizer for private and commercial farms and timber companies.
We are able to apply seed at varying rates per acre (1 pound to 220 pounds per acre).
We are able to apply hydromulch throughout the United States for pipeline right-a-way or Federal BAER projects
Pheromone Flake Application:
Columbia Basin is the leader in MCH flake application with rates as low as 1 pound per acre.
Frost Control or Aerial Drying:
CBH utilizes our Bell UH1H helicopters for frost control or cherry drying. We typically fly 5-10 feet above the trees and our pilots are always cognizant of any powerlines or flight hazards. The Bell UH1H gives good downdraft given its larger size.
Aerial Straw and Wood mulching:
CBH has extensive BAER straw mulching experience. Our contracts are usually “end use” with us providing all straw, straw logistics, ground support and helicopters. We have the capability to process the straw if needed. All straw operations involve the use of DGPS mapping to identify the block boundaries. Our KMax’s and Bell UH1H helicopters are well suited for this work given their performance at high density altitudes, | agronomy |

After the fun of Seed Catalog Day, my usual next garden planning step is getting my calendar together so I have a schedule of what seeds to start inside when, transplanting dates, and direct seeding outside. I’m a planner, by nature, and this is how I keep it all organized. For years I used a mix of online references for this (because no one source had all the plants I start), and it worked well enough to mark down the dates on a paper calendar. Last year though, I came across this super handy planting schedule template from Better Hens and Gardens. I loved the layout and quickly got to work tweaking it for my own needs and filling in all my plants.
That template worked well and to use it again this year, all I had to do was change the dates at the top and add in the new stuff I was planting this year. From there I still mark dates down on paper because, as much as I like spreadsheets, for something I’m going to be using almost daily during the summer I like the ease of being able to just open a binder (with sometimes dirty hands).
Instead of using a monthly calendar page for my paper record of dates, I’m trying something different this year. I was playing around with some watercolors and came up with the idea to just make some boxes to put dates and other garden notes in. I made copies and punched some holes in the side. I went week-by-week for what need to be started inside, transplanted, and direct seeded, doing each month of the summer. And then in a separate box, a running record of what dates those things actually DID happen on. I crossed off thing as they got done. Other smaller boxes worked well for keeping notes on trees I ordered, weather extremes, dates of things first shooting up, and other garden reminders.
I’m diggin’ it! March is done and I’m starting records on April. I think I’ll go ahead and scan and upload each month here as they finish. Maybe put a handy link to them in the sidebar or something.
I love to see how other people plan and keep garden records. Feel free to share your system! | agronomy |

By Anais Masetti - 18 May 2020
New technologies are a vital component in ensuring we can produce enough food for our growing global population. Here we analyse some key trends in the agritech, or agriculture technology, market as well as some exciting use cases emerging from the startup ecosystem.
Major challenges face tomorrow’s agriculture sector
Have you ever asked yourself: what does it take for a strawberry to make it into my yoghurt? While there has been a growing public awareness of the health and social implications of some agricultural practices, most consumers are still very much disconnected from the process that makes the production of the food on their table possible. We often take it for granted that our grocer will be fully stocked with a large variety of produce year-round and we forget how important the agricultural sector is to our lives.
This is in part due to the continuous progress agriculture has undergone and still goes through today. Thanks to technological advances, from machinery to genetics, the growth of crops and farming of animals has become increasingly efficient and reliable.
Yet, the future of agriculture is faced with major challenges: climate change is making weather conditions less predictable and natural disasters more frequent, as was shown by the major bush fires, storms and floods in 2019. The sector is also increasingly pressured to adopt more sustainable practices when it comes to carbon emissions, pesticides and water usage as well as meet increasing demand from a fast-growing global population.
New agritech (or agtech) solutions are thankfully emerging to help farmers meet these expectations in a sustainable manner.
Agritech: a market with growing potential
While it hasn’t received as much attention as foodtech, agricultural technology – aka agritech – is definitely garnering momentum. It is estimated that the global agritech market will reach USD 13.50 billion by 2023, at a CAGR above 18% until at least 2025.
Far from being the top target market, we are still seeing that several venture capital (VC) and corporate VC funds are now looking to reap the fruits of this emerging trend (excuse the pun). In fact, Forbes reported that in 2019, startups operating upstream in the food production chain scored USD 7.6 billion, so USD 100 million more than the previous year.
Among these, for instance, the rated startup Fieldin completed a USD 12 million Series A with the participation of Cavallo Ventures (the investment arm of the agricultural chemicals company Wilbur-Ellis Company Inc.), Gal Ventures, Zeev Ventures and others.
Tech for smart plantation management
A recent analysis highlighted that within the agritech market, there is a segment of particular interest: the Smart Plantation Management System market is predicted to reach USD 1.48 billion by 2026 globally, growing at a CAGR of 6.5 % between 2020 and 2026.
Indeed, innovative solutions that can enable farmers to plant, monitor, irrigate, fertilise or harvest their crops in a smarter way are highly sought after. By smarter, it is generally implied that decision-making can be done based on the collection and analysis of data, also referred to as plantation intelligence (PI). IoT devices (such as specialised sensors which are connected to the crops, online and between each other) coupled with big data analytics software are providing a wealth of actionable information to plantation managers.
Moreover, machine learning algorithms and data visualisation tools can empower non-tech savvy workers to understand this data more easily, take follow-up actions accordingly and even automate some of these actions (e.g. adjusting irrigation systems). There are also interesting new use cases for drones and satellites to be used in weather predictions and crop monitoring.
Focus on Phytech and IoT for crop stress monitoring
Within this trend, Early Metrics has identified a startup with very strong growth potential: Phytech is an Israeli company, also based in the US and Australia, which has developed innovative algorithms to process data from in-field sensors to improve crop performance.
Phytech’s IoT sensors are placed on the crops themselves and track micro-changes in their diameter, which relates to their level of hydration. As a plant photosynthesises, it loses water which leads to its trunk or stem to slightly shrink, a change that is picked up by the startup’s connected sensor. The data collected is then analysed and visually presented via a platform and app. This IoT device can also detect when a plant is over-irrigated. Indeed, too much water can lead a plant to reduce photosynthesis and yield less fruit.
By being able to measure and visualise this stress indicator, plantation managers can rapidly identify plots of lands that are under-irrigated and reduce irrigation where it is less needed. This means they can optimise their plantation management, reducing wasted water, costs and risks as well as improving crop yield.
An agritech startup going from strength to strength
Already in 2017, when it underwent the independent rating process by Early Metrics, Phytech placed itself in the top 5% of thousands of analysed startups mainly thanks to its rapid international expansion, its solid early traction and its well-matched, complementary team.
Since then, the startup has met our predictions, raising a total of USD 20 million and expanding its client base. For example, the Australian agricultural group Nutrano shared that it was able to yield a great mandarin harvest despite new Covid-19 protocols partly thanks to its collaboration with Phytech. Moreover, last year, the San-Diego based Stehly Grove Management shared how the startup’s innovation was helping it face climate change:
We are confident that agritech solutions, like the ones developed by Phytech, will continue to emerge to make our agriculture sector more future-proof and resilient. Greater resilience in the context of global warming and climate change will have to be secured by food and beverage players in order to meet the needs of tomorrow’s population. Finally, it will be interesting to follow how developing markets with fast-growing populations and a large agricultural sector, such as India, Brazil and Nigeria, to name a few, will drive and adopt agritech innovation. | agronomy |

Due to the non-prevalence of Phylloxera or nematodes, rootstocks are not employed, but in recent years, the ‘Dogridge’ rootstock is being employed to combat soil and water salinity problems.
Multiplication on Own Roots
Grapes are multiplied exclusively by the rooting of hardwood cuttings. No Government agency is involved in the multiplication and supply of rooted cuttings. Growers themselves obtain the hardwood cuttings from elite vineyards and raise their own nurseries. Well matured canes obtained in September/October are selected. Cuttings of 4 nodes each with a thickness of 8 to 10 mm are made from the selected canes. The fresh cuttings are soaked in running water for 24 hours to leach out the water-soluble rooting inhibitors. The basal parts of cuttings are then dipped in a 2,000 ppm strong IBA solution for five minutes before planting. It is also a practice to plant the cuttings in situ when three to four cuttings prepared and treated as above are planted at each spot in the main field. Soil drenching with chlorophyriphos 0.1 percent is a practice to safeguard the cuttings against termite damage.
Raising on Rootstocks
Hardwood cuttings of the ‘Dogridge’ rootstock are subjected to rooting, preferably in polybags of 15 x 25 cm. Rooted cuttings of this rootstock are planted in the main field during February-March. The desired scion variety is then grafted/budded on the rootstocks in the field by wedge grafting/chip budding. Wedge grafting is more common and the best time for the operation is September-October, while June-July is the suitable time for chip budding. | agronomy |

What kind of a fertilizer is polymeric one?
What is a polymer?
We know a great number of natural polymers.
They are such compounds as proteins, starch and cellulose. Starch kissel is one of the examples of liquid polymers.
A molecule of polymer is similar to a beads chain.
On every «bead» of ZELENIT a portion of nutrient — nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus — is set.
Due to the polymeric base of the fertilizer, not a drop of it rolls down from a leaf.
What are the advantages of polymeric fertilizer ZELENIT application?
- There is no risk of overfeeding a plant. Nutrients contained in ZELENIT fertilizer are longer to be absorbed.
- It let nutrients be easily supplied. Polymeric form of ZELENIT fertilizer provides nutrients supply in those parts of a plant where they can be most effective.
- ZELENIT fertilizer can be applied in combination with insecticides
- It is possible to reduce an amount of insecticides on 1/3. ZELENIT fertilizer holds drops on leaves and they do not roll down. | agronomy |

The rumen is a complex environment of microorganisms, including many species of bacteria, protozoa and fungi, which digest and ferment feedstuffs.
The rumen ecosystem is in a constant state of dynamic change with any stress posing a threat to its balance. Managing the rumen through change and stress is a challenge faced by all in the industry.
Feed is digested in the rumen by ruminal bacteria that attach to the surface of a feed particle to digest it. However, lignin, a naturally occurring plant compound that gives structural strength to forages, is not digested by the rumen bacteria, and creates a barrier between the bacteria and the hemicellulose and cellulose, the carbohydrates in forages used for energy. When the bacteria digest cellulose and hemicellulose, they produce the volatile fatty acids (VFA) acetate, propionate, and butyrate. These VFA are the main products of the digestion of feed by bacteria in the rumen. These VFA are absorbed into the blood stream and carried to the liver where they are converted to glucose and fat for energy use by the ruminant animal. Therefore, increasing the digestibility of forages results in more energy to the animal.
Amaferm® feeds the bacteria like yeast, but uniquely stimulates the fungi as well. Amaferm® increases both the morphology and physiology of the fungi that are responsible for the early events of the fiber (plant cellulose) attack. With Amaferm®, fungi have the ability to penetrate deeply into the plant stoma (green above). The fungi (blue above) break plant tissue open, the combination of physically growing down into the fiber and secreting key enzymes “opens” the fiber for secondary bacterial (red above) invasion. | agronomy |

Cotton sheets, linen, silk...the list goes on. But one material that is becoming increasingly popular is bamboo. Bamboo sheets are soft, durable, and environmentally friendly. But does the hype match the reality?
You’ve probably seen bamboo sheets and wondered if they are any good. After all, bamboo is a sustainable resource, so it must be good for the environment, right? And since it’s a natural material, it must be gentle on the skin, right? Well, yes, but there is some complexity you should be aware of.
Bamboo sheets have several potential benefits from an environmental standpoint. For one, bamboo is a highly sustainable and renewable resource, making it a good alternative to materials like cotton, which requires large amounts of water and other resources to grow. Bamboo also grows quickly and does not require the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals to thrive. This means that it can be grown without causing significant harm to the environment.
On the other hand, there are also some potential drawbacks to using bamboo sheets from an environmental perspective. For example, some people are concerned about the impact of bamboo cultivation on local ecosystems. Bamboo can spread quickly and aggressively, which can displace native plants and animals in some cases. Additionally, the process of converting bamboo into sheets or other products can be energy-intensive, which can lead to increased carbon emissions.
Overall, while bamboo sheets have several potential environmental benefits, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider. It's important to carefully weigh the pros and cons before making a decision about whether or not to use bamboo sheets.
Bamboo is considered a highly sustainable and renewable resource because it grows quickly and does not require large amounts of water or other resources to thrive. In contrast, materials like cotton require significant amounts of water and other resources to grow, which can put a strain on the environment. Additionally, bamboo can be harvested without harming the plant, so it can be regrown and harvested again in the future. This makes it a sustainable and renewable alternative to materials like cotton that are not as easily replenished.
Most bamboo sheets are also Oeko-Tex certified, which means they meet strict environmental standards.
Another important aspect of bamboo's sustainability is that it can be grown without the use of pesticides or other harmful chemicals.
Bamboo is a type of grass that grows quickly and does not require the use of pesticides or fertilizers to thrive. This makes it a highly sustainable and renewable resource, as it can be harvested without damaging the plant or the environment. In comparison, materials like cotton require large amounts of water, pesticides, and other resources to grow, making them less sustainable and less environmentally friendly.
Additionally, bamboo is biodegradable, which means that it can be broken down and returned to the earth without causing pollution or harming the environment.
Bamboo is a versatile and sustainable material that can be used to make a wide range of products. Due to its unique properties, bamboo is well-suited for many different uses. For example, bamboo fibers are strong and durable, making them ideal for use in textiles and other products that require durability.
Bamboo is also naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, which makes it a good choice for clothing and other items that come into contact with the skin. Additionally, bamboo is a lightweight and flexible material, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Some common products that are made from bamboo include sheets, towels, clothing, and other textiles, as well as furniture, flooring, and even paper products.
Bamboo is a temperature-regulating material. This means that it can help keep you warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. Bamboo has a number of unique properties that make it a good choice for temperature regulation. For example, bamboo is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps to keep you comfortable and dry in a variety of conditions.
Additionally, bamboo fibers have a porous structure that allows air to flow freely, which helps to regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable in a variety of conditions.
Bamboo sheets are generally considered to be soft and comfortable. Bamboo is a natural fiber that is soft to the touch, and it is often used in the production of textiles like sheets and towels.
Bamboo sheets are known for their silky smooth texture and their ability to keep you cool and comfortable while you sleep. Check out Leslie's bamboo sheet reviews and note how often softness and luxury are mentioned, particularly the 1800 thread count Boza Rayon. They may not hit the heights of Egyptian cotton sheets but there are some delightfully smooth and cool options for hot sleepers.
The process of converting bamboo into sheets or other products typically involves several steps, including harvesting, cutting, and drying the bamboo, as well as treating and refining the material to make it suitable for use in various products. Each of these steps can require significant amounts of energy, which can come from fossil fuels such as coal or natural gas.
When these fuels are burned to provide the necessary energy, they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to the overall levels of greenhouse gases and potentially leading to an increase in carbon emissions. Additionally, the transportation of bamboo and other materials involved in the production process can also contribute to carbon emissions.
Overall, the energy-intensive nature of the bamboo production process can have a significant environmental impact.
There are a few reasons why bamboo products may be more expensive than other options. One reason is that bamboo is typically considered a specialty or niche product, which can drive up the cost due to limited supply and demand.
Additionally, the process of converting bamboo into usable products can be labor-intensive and require specialized equipment, which can add to the cost of production. Furthermore, the transportation of bamboo from its source to the point of production can also increase the overall cost of the product.
All of these factors can contribute to making bamboo products more expensive than other options, which can make them less accessible or affordable for some consumers.
Bamboo is a fast-growing plant species that has the ability to spread quickly and aggressively in some environments. In areas where bamboo is cultivated, it can spread rapidly and outcompete native plants for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients in the soil. This can lead to the displacement of native plant species and, in turn, the animals that depend on those plants for food and habitat.
Additionally, the rapid growth and spread of bamboo can also alter the local ecosystem in other ways, such as by changing the composition of the soil and the availability of water. Some people are concerned about these potential impacts and the potential for bamboo cultivation to harm local ecosystems. As a result, there is an ongoing debate about the benefits and drawbacks of cultivating bamboo in different areas.
Bamboo sheets can be a good option for people looking for a comfortable and sustainable alternative to traditional cotton or synthetic sheets. Bamboo is a natural and renewable material that is typically soft and smooth, making it an ideal choice for bedding. It is also highly breathable, which can help regulate body temperature and keep you comfortable while sleeping. Additionally, bamboo is a sustainable option because it is fast-growing and requires minimal pesticides and fertilizers to thrive.
There are some downsides, but we think the benefits more than outweigh the negatives - give a bamboo bed sheet set a try and see for yourself. | agronomy |

The farm covers approximately 40 acres which is made up of forest, apple orchard, fields and a creek.
The forest consists of deciduous and coniferous trees, including the maple and walnut trees that are tapped to craft our small batch syrup, while the apple orchard is in a state of re-growth. Many critters, including the bees, birds, squirrels and chipmunks happily use the trees for food and shelter. Our hay fields are loaned out to a local farmer who uses the hay for feed of his livestock (mainly cows).
Running through a portion of the farm, the creek is a hub of activity at different times of year. Various kinds of wildlife use the creek, including fish. Last year, a beaver built a dam and seems to be happily residing in the creek. In previous years, otters were seen but they have not returned. We're hoping they come back soon!
All of our beehives are located on our farm. The products from the hives are used to make the honey, soaps, candles and other products that are available on Teas and Bees. And our garden is used to grow herbs that are used in the teas and soaps.
At Teas and Bees, we walk softly on this earth and try to leave the land in as good (or better!) health than when we received it.
As such, no insecticides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers are sprayed or used on the farm. The best way to describe the farm is “Natural” while other people have referred to the farm as "Non-certified Organic".
The garden is supplemented with compost that is generated from the everyday activities. To make the compost, fruit and vegetable scraps, leaves, and ash from our wood burning furnace and syrup production are added. Only trees which have either come down during storms, or are a hazard to the structures or utilities, are cut and used for products, heating, and cooking of the maple and walnut syrups. | agronomy |
