[center]A great cause – Restoring local grain production in
America[/center]
Posted on November 1, 2017 by Ken
Rice is a grain, a staple for billions and the staff of life.
True.
And it only grows in Asia and in tropical climates. False.

EU member states have again put off a decision on renewing the
controversial weed killer glyphosate. Could Europe really be
close to banning glyphosate — and what would a possible ban mean
for farmers and consumers?

is that the question is ACTUALLY, "WHY don't farmers accept that
farming WITH glyphosate is NOT WORKING?"!

SNIPPET:
Almost 30 years ago, seven organic farmers from the U.S.
Midwest, unhappy with the state of American agriculture, decided
to band together and form a cooperative to continue farming
sustainably.
Today, the Organic Valley agricultural cooperative,
headquartered in La Farge, Wisconsin, is made up of over 2,000
farmers in 36 states. And the cooperative just became part of a
unique community-solar partnership that will allow it to become
the largest food company in the world to source 100 percent of
its electricity from renewable energy.

[center]How Do Farmers Identify the Most Fertile 🌱 Soil?
???[/center]
Agricultural organizations around the world are coming to the
realization that a pair of cotton underpants can tell farmers a
lot about the quality of their soil. From the United Kingdom to
California, farmers are trying out this unconventional method,
burying undies in their fields and digging them up a couple of
months later. Healthy soil teeming with microbes and bacteria
will devour the cotton, leaving behind only the waistband. In
lifeless soil, the unearthed undies come out intact.
Underwear goes underground:
Evan Wiig, executive director of the California Farmers’ Guild,
explained that “cotton is an organic material and breaks down
naturally, just like anything else you’d put in your compost
pile.”
Soil conditions on beef and sheep farms directly influence how
well grass and forage crops grow. In turn, this affects the
quality of the feed that they produce. Better feed leads to more
robust animals.
Scottish farmer Iain Green has been burying underwear on his
2,800-acre farm since September 2017 and says that the results
have provided valuable insights.

[center]Which Countries Are the World’s Top Food
Exporters?[/center]
The Netherlands is a small, densely-populated country with more
than 1,300 inhabitants per square mile (500 inhabitants per
square km). More than half of the nation’s land area is used for
agriculture and horticulture, mostly in the form of high-tech
greenhouse complexes that allow the Dutch to be global leaders
in exports of tomatoes, potatoes, and onions. In terms of
value, the Netherlands 🌻 🌼 🌷 🌱
is the world's second-largest exporter of food, trailing only
the United States, a country which has 270 times the landmass.
More food, less water:
Since 2000, Dutch farmers have reduced their dependence on water
for key crops by as much as 90 percent, and they have almost
completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides. [img

/>
Since 2009, Dutch poultry and livestock producers have decreased
their use of antibiotics by as much as 60 percent. 🌟
The Dutch use “precision farming” 🌿 to get the most out
of their fields. For example, the global average yield of
potatoes is about nine tons per acre. The Dutch produce more
than 20 tons per acre. [img width=40

Very cool. I knew the Netherlands had a lot of agriculture, but
had no real idea exactly how advanced they'd gotten. I'm
impressed.

Yes, it is truly amazing what they have done. This appears to be
the only way forward in our overheated planet for those

With a introduction by environmental advocate and civil rights
activist Van Jones, this is a particularly inspiring example of
revolutionizing systems that have failed.
Growing Home is a non- profit organization in Chicago that
trains low income, previously homeless or incarcerated
Chicagoans in the business of organic agriculture.
What can be more important than bringing real jobs and real food
to neighborhoods that for decades have been bereft of both?
"A garden can turn a neighborhood where people don't have any
jobs into small business owners." says Della Moran, market
manager of Growing Home.
There are 80,000 vacant lots in Chicago. Orrin Williams,
Employment Training Coordinator muses: " Acres of vacant land...
acres of potential."
Until recently, Growing Home had been selling their organic
produce only to Chicago's elite at the city's premier farmers
market, high end restaurants, and a CSA program. Now the
revolution is really starting: there is a market ON the South
Side, FOR the South Side.
Now we're talking! [img

Agelbert NOTE: The second half of this video deals with some
facts about healthy soils everytone should know. In the earlier
part of the video I learned that children DO NOT have certain
enzymes in the liver, that human adults DO have, that are
extremely important.
[quote]"There’s no specific testing done for children,” he says.
“There’s absolutely no published scientific evidence to show any
level of safety. On the other hand, studies show there is no
lower level that is safe for children.
Children, when we talk about the unborn, the newborn and grown
children up to puberty, they do not have the detoxification
enzymes in their livers that we have as adults. Particularly for
young children, that means they have no way of detoxifying even
the smallest amount of a pesticide or a chemical.
The evidence shows that even small amounts, when children are
exposed in the womb, through breastfeeding or at a young age, it
severely affects the way they develop. It affects the nervous
system, the hormone system and the reproductive system.
When you look at the science, there are so many areas that can
be negatively affected by these small amounts. Unfortunately, a
lot of these effects last a lifetime. And also, we know some are
intergenerational. Those children's grandchildren will be
affected."[/quote]
