Researchers from Sonomaceuticals, LLC, the USDA-ARS, and UC Davis have collaborated to learn more about the ways in which a by-product of Chardonnay winemaking that has been viewed simply as a waste product may have potential health benefits.
Dr Torey Arvik, Dr Wallace Yokoyama, Dr Carl Keen, Dr Roberta Holt, and Fanny Lee are interested in how Chardonnay marc – the solid remains of the grapes after being pressed for their juice – could be upcycled into ingredients used in foods and dietary supplements that may improve cardiovascular and gut health. Harnessing the health benefits of Chardonnay grape marc as a value-added ingredient enables more sustainable wine production.
A grand challenge in the global food and agriculture sector is minimizing food waste and negative environmental impacts while meeting increasing global demand for healthy food. Innovation is urgently needed to transform underutilized food- and agriculture-derived resources into new ingredients and products that contribute to health and nutrition while also being conducive to a more sustainable environment.
Transforming by-products into co-products during wine production
Wine production is a sector where innovation can have a big impact. In 2018, 292 million hectolitres (one hectolitre equals one hundred litres) of wine were produced worldwide.
The process of winemaking involves crushing ripe grapes into grape must. For white wine, the must is then pressed to separate the juice from the solids. Next, the juice is fermented to produce wine.
The grape solids removed from the must are called pomace, or marc. Grape marc contains all the other components of the grape, including the skin, seeds, and pulp. Grape marc makes up the largest underutilized by-product from winemaking, with over 1.1 million tonnes generated in 2019 in California alone. Although a small amount of marc has traditionally been used to produce marc brandy or grappa, it is more commonly used as fertilizer or animal feed.
“Overweight or obese individuals may have improved insulin responses when consuming a blend of Chardonnay grape marc and seed extract.”
Collaborative research between Sonomaceuticals, LLC, the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS), and the University of California Davis (UC Davis) is providing exciting new insights into the potential benefits of co-products that usually go largely to waste in the production of Chardonnay wine. This multi-year program of collaboration is revealing new potential in Chardonnay marc co-products that can yield new food and dietary supplement ingredients having health benefits due to the concentration of certain naturally occurring compounds.
Potential bioactive components of Chardonnay grape marc
Sonomaceuticals is interested to better understand the use of Chardonnay grape marc to benefit human health. Dr Torey Arvik is involved in work which aims to valorize grape solids left over from winemaking. Valorization, a process that is gaining traction in numerous industries, simply means finding a better use for co-products, thereby reducing waste and enhancing value.
This has partly contributed to a new area of research which aims to explore the potential health benefits of bioactive components in Chardonnay grape marc.
Previous work by Dr Wallace Yokoyama, a scientist at USDA-ARS, compared the profiles of grape seed flours from different varieties to determine if there were different health impacts. Compared to other grapes, Chardonnay grape marc contained high levels of nutrients known as phenolics, with the highest levels found in Chardonnay seeds.
The team at Sonomaceuticals further explored the phenolic content of Chardonnay grape marc. They aimed to characterize the marc, with and without seeds, the seed alone, and an extract of the seed, to better identify the chemical composition of these winemaking co-products. The majority of phenolics in Chardonnay grape marc are the flavan-3-ols, including (-) epicatechin. Flavan-3-ols are compounds naturally present in plant-based foods such as grapes, tea, apples, and cocoa. Importantly, a number of research studies have shown that increased intakes of (-) epicatechin and other flavan-3-ols can have beneficial health effects on the cardiovascular system. Indeed, work from an international team of researchers, which included Dr Carl Keen and Dr Roberta Holt, observed that flavanol intake could improve vascular response and platelet function. Continued research on flavan-3-ols has convincingly demonstrated beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. This may be due to their ability to affect a number of cellular signalling and metabolic pathways.
Aside from the flavan-3-ol content of marc, the Sonomaceuticals team were interested in the relatively understudied complex carbohydrate content of Chardonnay grape marc that can benefit gut health. This included the oligosaccharides, a type of fiber, known for their potential prebiotic benefits.
All Chardonnay marc samples analyzed contained abundant levels of flavan-3-ols, with the seed extract being the most concentrated phenolic. Thirty-six distinct oligosaccharides were discovered in the four samples. Whilst there was some overlap between the Chardonnay marc fractions, they each had their own individual oligosaccharide profile. These results demonstrate that Chardonnay marc could be a substantial dietary source of phenolics and oligosaccharides. Research is currently ongoing to determine the contribution of each of these Chardonnay grape marc components to health.
Potential health benefits of Chardonnay grape marc
Research by Dr Yokoyama identified ways that Chardonnay grape seed flour may benefit cardiovascular health in a series of studies using a rodent model. His group supplemented a high-fat diet with Chardonnay grape seed flour. This prevented the mice from gaining fat, despite consuming more food than the control group. The mice also had lower levels of a form of cholesterol often associated with increased cardiovascular risk, that is, low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol. Moreover, Dr Yokoyama’s team were able to demonstrate that Chardonnay grape seed flour-induced changes in LDL were associated with changes in specific gut microbial populations and metabolites. Dr Yokoyama attributed these health benefits to the fiber and flavan-3-ol content of the Chardonnay seed flour. These results suggests that Chardonnay grape seed flour may benefit cardiovascular health in the management of obesity and obesity-related health effects that include improvements in cholesterol levels and gut health. However, further research, including well-controlled clinical trials, will be required to confirm the impact of these key Chardonnay grape marc components in humans.
Fanny Lee’s research is focused on exploring how pre-packaged capsules containing WellVine Chardonnay marc may affect the gut microbiome and cardiovascular health in humans. She and her collaborators have conducted initial trials examining the effects of Chardonnay grape flour and seed extract on cholesterol and insulin resistance. At this year’s meeting of the American Society of Nutrition, Ms Lee presented data suggesting overweight or obese individuals may have improved insulin responses when consuming a blend of Chardonnay grape marc and seed extract. While promising, further work is required to confirm these findings.
“Including Chardonnay marc in food products can potentially contribute to both public health and environmental sustainability.”
During the past several decades, much has been learned about compounds present in foods having bioactivity beyond that contributed by the currently recognized micro- and macro-nutrients. (-) Epicatechin, present in various plant foods, and specific oligosaccharides found in human breastmilk, are representative of these new discoveries. The cross-sector research collaboration between Sonomaceuticals, USDA-ARS, and UC Davis suggests Chardonnay grape marc is a food ingredient containing compounds that have this potential, including flavan-3-ols and oligosaccharides. Sonomaceuticals has already demonstrated that grape seed flour can be used in commercially available flours to enhance bread and other baked goods, and believes there is a potential for including Chardonnay grape marc in a wider variety of foods, beverages, and dietary supplements. In addition to the health and nutrition benefits associated with the compounds it naturally contains, inclusion of Chardonnay grape marc in these products contributes to environmentally sustainable viticulture and winemaking operations.


Visit our farms in Gaston County all year! In spring, step into a strawberry patch and pick ripe, juicy berries. Come summertime, look for vine-ripened tomatoes, homemade salsa, squash and blueberries. Fall is a fun, busy season as pumpkins turn bright orange and farmers gather the last produce before frost. For a true fall treat, find a farm that offers hayrides and corn mazes. Schoolchildren, Scouts and other community groups delight in a day spent learning outdoors. And in the winter you can select your tree for the holidays.
Gaston County’s farmers markets have become community gathering spaces, weekly meetups where customers interact with farmers. Some feature live music, chef demos and kids’ activities. The markets not only stock fruits and produce, but vendors also sell locally raised meat and dairy products, homemade breads and pastries, and bouquets of fresh-cut flowers.


From an article on Global Research:
Now a new international scientific team headed by Prof. Andres Carrasco and including researchers from the UK, Brazil, USA, and Argentina have demonstrated that Glyphosate, the main active ingredient in Roundup causes malformations in frog and chicken embryos at doses far lower than those used in agricultural spraying and well below maximum residue levels in products presently approved in the European Union. The Carrasco group was led to research the embryonic effects of glyphosate by reports of high rates of birth defects in rural areas of Argentina where Monsanto’s genetically modified “Roundup Ready” (RR) soybeans are grown in large monocultures sprayed from airplanes regularly. RR soy is engineered to tolerate Roundup, allowing farmers to spray the herbicide liberally to kill weeds while the crop is growing.
From an article on Treehugger:
Her garden consists of 5 raised beds, where she grows a mix of squashes, corn, tomatoes, flowers, and other veggies. Bass received a warning from the city telling her to remove the vegetable garden, because it doesn’t adhere to city ordinances (more on that later.) When she refused, she was ticketed and charged with a misdemeanor. Her trial, before a jury, is set to begin on July 26th. If she is found guilty, she can be sentenced to up to 93 days in jail.
From an article on Truthout.org:
The Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) program was launched in 2008 with a $47 million grant from mega-rich philanthropists Warrant Buffet and Bill Gates. The program is supposed to help farmers in several African countries increase their yields with drought- and heat-tolerant corn varieties, but a report released last month by the African Centre for Biosafety claims WEMA is threatening Africa’s food sovereignty and opening new markets for agribusiness giants like Monsanto.
The Gates Foundation claims that biotechnology, GE crops and Western agricultural methods are needed to feed the world’s growing population and programs like WEMA will help end poverty and hunger in the developing world. Critics say the foundation is using its billions to shape the global food agenda and the motivations behind WEMA were recently called into question when activists discovered the Gates foundation had spent $27.6 million on 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock between April and June 2010.

What You Need To Know When Differentiating Between Indica And Sativa
Indica and Sativa are the two strains of Cannabis that are in the market. If asked, most of the consumers have no idea about this and therefore can hardly tell the difference. You can tell the difference, however, by checking into a little more detail. Find below what to check when looking for the difference between Indica and Sativa.
One of the major difference is the origin of the two as they do come from very different places. Indica prefers the central Asian climate and the Indian countries while Sativa prefers the more warmer equatorial climate like Thailand, Southern Asia and Mexico. Indica thrives in an indoor environment while Sativa is quite opposite and is best grown outdoors. Indica is sturdy, short and has wide leaves while Sativa has thinner leaves and is taller. The cultivation of Indica takes about 45 – 60 days and Sativa takes about 60 – 90 days.
If you want to tell the difference between indica and sativa easily, you should consider the plant. It is important that you know how indica and sativa look like when still plants so that you grow the right variety. If your preferred variety is sativa, then you should look out for a plant with narrow leaves. This gives the sativa plant a light look. This plant grows very tall compared to indica and will therefore do well outdoors.
Indica on the other hand has broader leaves which grow very close to each other. When you consider the whole plant, you can tell that indica is dense compared to sativa which looks very scarce. It is also very short compared to sativa and can easily be grown indoors. Another thing to consider is the flowering time for both of them because sativa will take longer to flower therefore bussing is delayed. This means that the harvest time comes earlier because it also buds earlier.
While contrasting between sativa and indica, it is crucial to keep in mind the fundamental element of effects they both have when consumed. Sativa and Indica offer alternatives and best prescription ever according to one’s requirements. It is also important to note that the effect they have determine the kind of activities one could engage to. You should also consider that when in need of boosting your adrenaline levels, sativa is the way to go while Indica gives a solution to a soothing atmosphere.
It is also important to consider the flavor from each one of them. Sativa produces a different scent as compared to Indica. It is also important to note that sativa helps in relieving downheartedness and weariness. On the other hand, Indica has been proven to provide a powerful and effective solution to nervousness and lack of sleep.


The number itself is mindboggling. Though we are primarily an agriculture nation still we have seen worst of famines and hunger. Starvation has not been wiped off from the country and as population goes on increasing it will be even a bigger challenge in the time to come. India needs to take big initiatives to improve its food security as it faces supply constraints, water scarcity, small landholdings, low per capita GDP and inadequate irrigation.
Food security, means that all people, at all times, have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets their food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Food security is closely related to household resources, disposable income and socioeconomic status. It is also strongly interlinked with other issues, such as food prices, global environment change, water, and energy and agriculture growth.
Food Security is Important for a Nation due to following reasons
For boosting the agricultural sector.
For having a control on food prices.
For economic growth and job creation leading to poverty reduction
For trade opportunities
For increased global security and stability
For improved health and healthcare
Food security concerns can be traced back to the experience of the Bengal Famine in 1943 during British colonial rule, during which about 2 million people perished due to starvation. Since attaining independence, an initial rush to industrialize while ignoring agriculture, two successive droughts in the mid-1960s, and dependence on food aid from the United States exposed India’s vulnerability to several shocks on the food security front.
The country saw Green Revolution in the late 1960s, enabling it to overcome productivity stagnation and to significantly improve food grain production. Despite its success, the Green Revolution is often criticized for being focused on only two cereals, wheat and rice; being confined to a few resources abundant regions in the northwestern and southern parts of the country that benefited mostly rich farmers; and putting too much stress on the ecology of these regions, especially soil and water.
The Green Revolution was followed by the White Revolution, which was initiated by Operation Flood during the 1970s and 1980s. This national initiative has revolutionized liquid milk production and marketing in India, making it the largest producer of milk.
Of late, especially during the post-2000 period, hybrid maize for poultry and industrial use and Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton have shown great strides in production, leading to sizeable exports of cotton, which made India the second largest exporter of cotton in 2007–2008.
Clearly we are working for the food security but needs to speed it up as two or three successive crop failures due to bad Monsoon can make us vulnerable to drought and lead to starvation. We must act now and make our agriculture more robust and not leave it on the mercy of Monsoon rains.
we still have the following unflattering statistics:
India currently has the largest number of undernourished people in the world i.e. around 195 million.
Nearly 47 million or 4 out of 10 children in India do not meet their full human potential because of chronic under nutrition or stunting.
Agricultural productivity in India is extremely low.
According to World Bank figures, cereal yield in India is estimated to be 2,992 kg per hectare as against 7,318.4 kg per hectare in North America.
The composition of the food basket is increasingly shifting away from cereals to high⎯value agricultural commodities like fish, eggs, milk and meat.
About 14.8% of the population is undernourished in India.
Also, 51.4% of women in reproductive age between 15 to 49 years are anemic.
4% of children aged under five in India are stunted (too short for their age), while 21% suffer from wasting, meaning their weight is too low for their height.
Challenges to Food Security
Climate Change: Higher temperatures and unreliable rainfall makes farming difficult. Climate change not only impacts crop but also livestock, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture
Increase in rural-to-urban migration, large proportion of informal workforce resulting in unplanned growth of slums which lack in the basic health and hygiene facilities, insufficient housing and increased food insecurity.
Overpopulation, poverty, lack of education and gender inequality.
Inadequate distribution of food through public distribution mechanisms (PDS i.e. Public Distribution System).
Deserving beneficiaries of the subsidy are excluded on the basis of non-ownership of below poverty line (BPL) status, as the criterion for identifying a household as BPL is arbitrary and varies from state to state.
Recent Government Initiatives
National Food Security Mission is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme launched in 2007. It aims to increase production of rice, wheat, pulses, coarse cereals and commercial crops, through area expansion and productivity enhancement. It works toward restoring soil fertility and productivity at the individual farm level and enhancing farm level economy. It further aims to augment the availability of vegetable oils and to reduce the import of edible oils.
Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) It was initiated in 2007, and allowed states to choose their own agriculture and allied sector development activities as per the district/state agriculture plan. It was converted into a Centrally Sponsored Scheme in 2014-15 also with 100% central assistance.
Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) has been named as Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana- Remunerative Approaches for Agriculture and Allied Sector Rejuvenation (RKVY-RAFTAAR) for three years i.e. from 2017-18 to 2019-20.
Food security of a nation is ensured if all of its citizens have enough nutritious food available, all persons have the capacity to buy food of acceptable quality and there is no barrier on access to food.
The right to food is a well established principle of international human rights law. It has evolved to include an obligation for state parties to respect, protect, and fulfill their citizens’ right to food security.
As a state party to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, India has the obligation to ensure the right to be free from hunger and the right to adequate food. India needs to adopt a policy that brings together diverse issues such as inequality, food diversity, indigenous rights and environmental justice to ensure sustainable food security.


Today we’re learning about the life of our tiny friend – the wine grape. These little guys might not have a super long lifespan, but their time here on earth is so valuable for us wine lovers. Grapes might just be the most important fruit to any wine lover because without those squishy, tasty little fruits, we wouldn’t have wine. And that would be a true tragedy.
The season for harvesting your precious grapes starts around September and October. But for our purposes, let’s rewind the clock all the way to March.
The first step in growing grapes is to make sure the vines are trimmed by cutting away prior growth from the season before. Think of it like your monthly (let’s be honest, twice a year) hair appointment to get your ends trimmed. This sets the stage for the upcoming lifecycle by regulating the growth and quantity of grapes the vines will produce. Sap then begins flows from pruned branches – and the process begins!
Thanks to that good good sap, small buds on the vine begin to swell. Eventually, shoots begin to grow from the buds.
April showers bring May (wine) flowers, right? After the buds break, tiny flower clusters appear on the tips of the shoots. Now we always knew wine was perfect, but even its flowers are perfect too. Since they pollinate themselves, without the help of bees, they’re often called perfect flowers.
Fruit Set (May-June)
The fertilized flowers develop seeds and produce grape berries around the seeds to protect them. Obviously, we care about the seeds because we want more grapes for future bottles of vino, but it’s the juicy fruit protecting the seeds that we care about most. That’s the good part of the grape that’ll make some wino very happy.
After about four months, the grapes finally start changing color but are still immature (like that boy you dated freshman year of college). If plucked too soon, the grapes will have a sour, tart taste to them. Not a good fit for your Moscato.
During the sunnier months, the grapes soak up the rays and grow dramatically. The warmth allows the grapes to go from sour to sweet.
After seven long months of careful watching, the grapes are finally ripened and ready to be picked. Their next stop? The winemaking process. But those vines we spent the past few months caring for? They start to lose their leaves and turn brown, and the cycle starts again in the spring.
Now that you understand the complete grape growing process, it’s time to pop open your favorite bottle and get to tasting. Rumor has it that even just looking at the wine in your glass will tell you a thing or two about what you’re about to drink. Or at least that’s what we hear through the grapevine.

The agriculture market consists of sales of agriculture and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide agriculture and related services such as animal and crop produce and other support services. Agriculture involves the cultivation of plants, and animal and bird rearing for food, fabrics, fibres, bio-fuel, medicinal and other products used to sustain and enhance human life. This market also includes horticulture and aquaculture. This market excludes proceeds from captive (internal) consumption of the agriculture and forest produce for further processing. The agriculture market is segmented into animal produce; crop production and rural activities.
The global agriculture market is expected to grow from $9602.79 billion in 2020 to $10181.92 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $13133.95 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7%.

Lamon pasta and beans is a succulent and creamy soup , suitable for the winter season.
A first course that I consider a perfect food, because it is simple to prepare and of a unique goodness, excellent both hot and cold.
The pasta shapes traditionally used in Veneto, for the preparation of pasta and phases are: the signorine or tiracca trevigiana, the ditalini, and also the rices.
Of course, as with all popular recipes, each family and each area has a personalized one.
I propose you Lamon’s pasta and beans , which my grandmother Antonia used to prepare, with two small variations.
The first is the absence of the rinds that my grandmother cooked together with the beans, which alas I do not like.
The second difference is that I add a drop of hot flavored oil before serving it to the table.
The pasta and beans will thus have an incredible flavor and a persistent aroma.
You will feel how wonderful!
Of course, for the preparation of this dish, I could not fail to use the extraordinary Lamon beans from the Belluno valley IGP .
The Lamon borlotto bean is grown with ecological methods in the high plain of Lamon and Sovramonte.
The varieties present are: Spagnolet, Spagnol, Canalino and Calonega; the latter particularly suitable for soups.
Of course, since it is a product that is harvested between August and September, during the winter we will not find it fresh; but we can still consume it by buying it dry.
In this case, the beans must be soaked for 12 hours before they can be used.
Now let’s take get the recipe and turn on the stove.
How to prepare Lamon’s pasta and beans:
We put the beans to soak for 12 hours with plenty of water at room temperature; let’s use a large bowl, because they will increase a lot in volume.
If possible we change the water if we see impurities forming on the surface.
After the soaking time, drain the beans and rinse them well.
Let’s pour them into a pot with high sides, with 2-2.5 liters of cold water; We also add half a carrot cut into coarse pieces, half a stick of celery, half an onion, and the sage.
Let them cook for about 1 to 1 hour and a half, in a half-covered pan over low heat.
We gradually remove the foam that will form on the surface.
We do not add salt because it would make the beans split during cooking, we will add it at the end.
As soon as they are cooked, remove the vegetables and sage and leave them in their water.
Preparation of the dough:
We chop the remaining carrot, celery and onion.
Let the vegetables dry in a pan with a little oil; they will not have to fry, but only to soften.
Add part of the beans with a little of their water to the vegetables and let them flavor.
Remove the pan from the heat and blend everything with an immersion mixer, until you get a cream.
Add the remaining beans with one or two ladles of their water, put the pan back on the heat over very low heat for about ten minutes.
Meanwhile, in another pan, cook the chopped pappardelle with boiling salted water, leaving them al dente.
Drain the pappardelle and pour them into the pot with the beans, add salt, pepper and leave to flavor for two or three minutes.
If necessary, add a little more water from the beans, depending on the creaminess we want to achieve.
We turn off the heat and let the pasta rest.
In a pan pour a little oil, two sprigs of rosemary and a clove of unpeeled garlic.
We cook over low heat with the lid for 1-2 minutes, so that the oil is flavored.
We serve the soup, adding a drizzle of oil that we have flavored.
We can put a parmesan crust in the beans in cooking to give a little more flavor.
The soaking temperature of the beans is a very important factor, so that the legumes rehydrate not only on the surface but also in the heart.
I usually use water between 20 and 25 degrees.
For a quick version of this dish, let’s use canned Lamon beans.

Why do they still sell Roundup?
The newspaper reported glyphosate is the most widely used farming chemical ever, and investors reason farmers’ dependence on Roundup will continue as the population grows and food demand increases.
Who bought Roundup from Monsanto?
Bayer acquired Roundup manufacturer Monsanto in 2018.

Plant the Right Greens at the Right Time with this Plan by Jane Griffiths
Jane Griffiths, garden expert and author of Jane’s Delicious Gardening Calendar 2014 and Jane’s Delicious Herbs, has created a printable planting plan “that’ll tell you what to plant in April and May and remind you when it’s time to harvest your crops”, shared by Garden and Home SA.
Follow the link to print your own plan and start planting the right greens at the right time:
“Plants such as broccoli (pictured) and cauliflower form the largest heads in the coolest months, but need to be planted a few months in advance. Drawing up a planting plan will ensure these go into the ground at the right time, and if you sow seed of quick cool season crops like leafy greens successively, you’ll be able to harvest them regularly throughout winter,” says Jane Griffiths, author of Jane’s Delicious Garden (Sunbird Publishers).

I've primed it already, and the chicks are spending their third night outside tonight. I still need to paint it, but for now it is usable, and that is all that matters to me. I'll get some more pictures of the special features up another day.
The cabin project has taken backseat for a while. With youth camp to plan, chickens to house, and a garden to plant, it has fallen off the plate. We did finish the roof, finish the siding, and add a couple of shelves inside. We also added this to it.
We're just big kids, really. The slide is a little steep- it zings the kids off pretty fast. It is more like a controlled fall. I have banned them from sliding until the bottom is properly lifted off the ground. Someone suggested putting an air mattress at the bottom, but I am envisioning the kids hitting it and being instantly bounced into the pond. No, I don't think we'll use the air mattress.
The garden is coming along. Here's a shot of it. It's not the best, but we've been working with what we have.
We've planted tomatoes, peppers, onions, okra, ground cherries (the big leafy things), yellow squash, cucumbers, green beans, watermelon, cantaloupe, winter squash, corn, carrots, swiss chard, and brussel sprouts. My photo quality is poor here... please excuse my sub-par picture. I'll get a better one soon.

Since the beginning of contemporary GMO food production 40 years ago, scientists have been stating their case for why they believe that manipulating nature to create stronger, more disease resistant organisms is the way of the future. The problem with most of their arguments, ironically, is that they seldom think of the future that they claim to care about so much. Genetically modified foods will be one of the dominoes that lead to the collapse of civilization and we need to take every step possible to end this risky and detrimental practice. There are many factors that led up to this point, and thankfully the world doesn’t need to end and mass starvation does not need to transpire as long as responsible and immediate action is taken.
The main argument used in favor of continuing the practice of GMO foods and even mass factory produce farming more generally, is that we need to do this practice to feed the 791 million people suffering from malnutrition and starvation all over the world, which seems like a noble cause, at least on the surface. According to a study conducted by Cornell University, the United States could feed 800 million people with the amount of grains that livestock eat. So instead of ending the eternal global Holocaust that kills 56 billion land animals as well as two trillion fish, and simultaneously ending world hunger by feeding those resources to starving individuals, scientists instead decided to create another problem that will only result in mass death of humans if not the complete extinction of the human race, but more on that later.
If scientists are constantly surrounded by these facts and they have access to knowledge that there are other and more efficient and moral ways of pursuing an end to these problems, then why don’t they pursue them? The answer is painfully simple and tends to be the reoccurring answer in moral and scientific issues like this. According to Monsanto’s own website they donated $435,850 directly to special interests in Washington, this is not including all of the special under the table deals that we are far too familiar with transpiring in our nation’s capital. Many of these individual scientists are afraid of losing credibility, or more importantly, funding if they decide to question these corporate giants, even if it’s the right thing to do. GMO groups like Monsanto are not expanding the food supply like they will lead you to believe, they are controlling it and will use any means necessary to maintain that control.
So what exactly are these concerns that scientists have with GMOs, monoculture, and mass produce farming in general? Put simply, this way of farming is not sustainable, despite cries from the pro-GMO side saying that it is more efficient sometimes efficiency does not translate into positive efficacy. One of the results of this monoculture mass farming system is that it is working directly against the environment. According to an article in Time World, the Earth only has 60 years of topsoil left to use. Most of this loss of topsoil is a direct result of industrial farming and continuing this practice will not only not help people starving in Africa like many of the pro-GMO scientists may claim it will, it will also essentially put the whole human race in that predicament. Subsequently, a world without industrial farming is a world without GMOs. Another detrimental factor that comes into play is that while these crops may be more resistant to diseases, that resistance can only last so long and as a result of the diversity of crops being a thing of the past, we may see the end of bananas as well as other crops. A new strain of soil fungus known as fusarium oxysporum is destroying banana plantations in Mozambique and Jordan and it’s only a matter of time before it spreads worldwide since it only takes one clump of dirt to spread this fungal disease. It affects Cavendish bananas and since that is the only genetically mass produced banana that everyone all over the world grows, we may see an end to banana bread and banana smoothies in the morning in 20 years or less. This is very likely the reality for all GMO crops too, we can only engineer the plants to be resistant to disease for so long before the diseases get so strong that they just take the agriculture world by storm. It’s not a matter of if GMOs are bad or not, it’s about which will wipe out the human race first as a result of GMOs. The eradication of our topsoil resulting in famine, starvation, and perhaps even mass extinction or a botanical epidemic revolving around pesticide resistant diseases that will make any crops that we grow be contaminated and inedible also resulting in famine, starvation, and mass extinction. Luckily, these aren’t our only two options and if we act now, we may even be able to reverse the problems created by practices like GMO food and industrialized farming.
So what exactly is this solution that will get us out of this scary, world ending mess? That solution is permaculture, which is essentially creating a relationship with nature in which both parties benefit. By growing diverse local produce that is suited for the climate and enriches the soil, we will not only end our reliance of fossil fuels to transport food, which only has a lifespan of 40 more years anyway according to Stanford Business, and empower the community to take their livelihood into their own hands rather than the hands of multibillion dollar corporations, we will also significantly reduce the chances of mass human extinction by not destroying the topsoil to a point past recovery, but will bring the soil back to life rather than killing it; and with diverse produce we will be less likely to encounter diseases that will wipe out all crops and leave us all starving. If you give a man a fish he will eat for a day, if you teach a man to fish he will overfish the world to death also leading to his own demise, but if you teach a man to grow food in a way that he works with nature rather than against her, he will live comfortably and happily with no fear of famine and mass extinction for the rest of his days.

It hasn’t been much of a winter… THANK GOODNESS! I don’t enjoy shoveling or plowing for that matter. And with my husband gone from time to time those not so enjoyable duties fall on my shoulders. So, I say again, thank goodness this winter has been so mild.
This mild winter has caused an itch. An itch to get my seedlings started. Yesterday my husband and I purchased a small portable greenhouse. Nothing fancy. Just sturdy and effective enough to start some seeds. This greenhouse will wonderful to put out on the porch on a semi-warm, sunny February day in Maine. It’s also portable enough to leave in our reading room that gets excellent sunlight.
I’m excited to start my broccoli, cabbage, peas, beans, chard, lettuce and brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts on my husband’s idea, not mine. I’ve been saving eggs shells for about three months now. I’m using the egg shells as my seedling pots. They make great pots, and will be just as beneficial for the soil when they get in the ground.
Hurry spring! I know you’re close, but it’s just not close enough for me!


What did Kangana say?
Kangana wrote on social media that Samuel Stokes was not Indian, but he fought for India’s independence and faced charges of sedition by the British government. He came from a wealthy American Quaker family, gave up everything, learned Sanskrit, became a Hindu, established a school and brought apples to Himachal Pradesh. Himachali farmers earn most of their income from apple orchards, but very few people know about them. I request our Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur to name a prominent place in Himachal after Shri Samuel Stokes. We should do this favor to ourselves. Because Samuel followed Hinduism throughout his life and Pitrupuja (Gratitude to the Ancestors) is of paramount importance in our culture and we should give our respect to this person. His work, hard work and foresight is giving employment to lakhs of people in Himachal till date.
Which Samuel Stokes
About 111 years ago in 1905, a young man from America came to Himachal. The young man’s name was Samuel Evans Stokes. Stokes saw the people of Shimla struggling with illness and livelihood, and decided to serve them by staying here. The American youth married a local girl and became an Arya Samaji and named himself Satyanand Stokes. A school was also opened in that period in Kotgarh.
Plants brought from America
In the year 1916, Stokes prepared the first apple orchard in Barubag of Thanadhar Panchayat of Kotgarh by bringing Red Delicious species plant from America. From Kotgarh, this species soon spread to other areas of the state and its other improved varieties were planted on a large scale in the state. The father of American Samuel Sotox, who did social service in Thanadhar, died in 1911. During his return, he bought American apple saplings and got them planted on two bighas of land. Stokes was not aware of apple cultivation. They started cultivating it by reading from books. In 1921, when apple plants started bearing fruit in this garden, Stokes increased the area of the garden. Golden apple saplings were also planted in the early 1930s. Satyanand Stokes died in 1946. Let us tell that every year in Himachal, an average apple business of five thousand crore rupees is done here.


I put the" Bean Seed Work" on the shelf last night. Looking forward to seeing the kids work with this today. The goal of this work is for them to investigate the parts of the seed through a hands on approach and spend as much time as they like doing so. In the the test tube are lima beans that have been soaked overnight. A pair of tweezers that the child will use to transfer the bean to the petri dish and than start investigating. I really wished I had the small metal tweezers for this activity, but I have misplaced those. I added a tiny amount of red food coloring so that they would be able to identify the different parts better.

#2 Ornamental Trees Ornamental trees have a high value when there is a housing boom, because so many new homeowners need to plant landscape trees and shrubs around their property. Under these conditions, savvy nursery operators can make upwards of $20,000 per acre growing nursery stock. Unfortunately, like many commodity-based industries, once the housing bubble bursts, the tree’s resale value diminishes rapidly. The advantage that mixed farming operations have over straight nursery operations, is the trees can have great value as alternative crops producing sap, nuts, fruit and shelter for fields and buildings.
For people interested in growing nursery stock, the best place to start planting is right around the homestead. If the trees cannot be sold to the landscape industry or if the business plan changes, the ornamental trees will provide a never ending source of food for both the landowners and the wildlife, a place of beauty for the residents, and add thousands of dollars of value to the property.


David Tennant played the part of the famous Dr Who for several years, but his connection with Mull is much more than science fiction. In 2006 a programme in the series ‘Who do You Think You Are?’ was shown on television in which David Tennant researched his family history.
David discovered that his great-grandfather, Donald McLeod, was born on Mull in 1819. He was probably an agricultural labourer who lived and worked in the Calgary area at Inivea.
Inivea is a substantial settlement with wonderful views overlooking Calgary bay and out towards the Treshnish Islands and Coll and Tiree. Life for the people at Innivea was one of subsistence farming with the main food crops being potatoes, oats and barley.


Zamfara Government says it is to produce about 13,000 metric tonnes of rice from the ongoing special pilot dry season farming under its Comprehensive Agricultural Revolution Programme (ZACAREP).
The Special Adviser to the Governor on ZACAREP, Alhaji Aminu Dankwangila, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Gusau on Thursday.
Dankwangila said the programme, which started from Gummi Local Government Area, was meant to complement the Federal Government’s efforts to revive agriculture to ensure food security and self sufficiency in the country.
“We selected Gummi Local Government Area from the 14 local government areas of the state to start the programme,’’ he said.
He said that 2,000 farmers, out of 2,150 that applied for the programme were registered and each given nine bags of fertiliser, improved seeds, agro chemicals and pumping machines.
Dankwangila further said that each of the farmers was given N50, 000 cash for labour.
“We mobilised the farmers to cultivate one hectare of land each, that amounts to 2,000 hectares.
“We are targeting the production of 6.5 metric tonnes of rice per hectare and if you multiply 6.5 by 2,000, it will give you 13,000 metric tonnes of rice,” he said.
He, however, stressed that all the farm inputs were given to the farmers as loan, adding that they were expected to pay back with part of the produce.
“We have come up with the guaranteed minimum price of N14,000 per bag to encourage farmers; we will buy each bag of rice at N14,000 instead of N10,000 market price.”
“We gave them this loan through the local committees made up of traditional rulers and representatives of farmers’ associations at ward and district levels.
“We are going to use the same channel to collect back the loan; we are calling on the farmers to comply with the repayment agreement.’’ (NAN)


Granular fertilisers are perfect for planting or potting blooming plants, and Botaflora’s 6-11-9 granular fertiliser ensures they bloom profusely. Dried granulated chicken manure, which has various varieties, is an attractive option for people seeking a more ecologically friendly substitute.
Slow-release compounds are also included in granular fertilisers. These fertilisers are ideal for gardeners who don’t want to spend the entire summer toiling away because they can feed your plants for up to three months. These fertilisers, which may be used during planting and include Miracle-12-4-8 Gro’s and Botaflora’s 14-14-14, are practical and straightforward.
- Granular fertilisers are offered as dried, ready-to-spread granules, making them simple. These fertilisers are easy to apply and may be used for many types of landscaping, including lawns, gardens, flowerbeds, trees, and shrubs. The nutrients in the granules dissolve when it rains or when you water.
- In general, fertiliser is a substance created to release nutrients and provide a plant with the building blocks necessary for growth. The following are the two most typical types of fertiliser for plants around the house:
- Increasing the production of crops such as tomatoes or asparagus requires plant food designed to maximise the growth of roses. If the soil is deficient in some essential nutrients or if those elements have been worn down over time, you could use a fertiliser. These nutrients are supplied in fertiliser in a way that is simple for plants to absorb, whether the substances are natural or synthetic.
- The spring, summer, and autumn formulae are ideal for developing thick, lush, and green grass that can tolerate pests and droughts and may be applied with a small or large spreader. There are more top-notch items for your garden. The 8-12-14 granular fertiliser from Botaflora, when used during planting season and again in the middle of the summer, will guarantee you produce a bountiful harvest of solid and healthy plants. Granular fertilisers are perfect for planting blooming plants.
All plants require various nutrients, some of which they need in high concentrations. The primary nutrients you find in fertiliser are those that might not be readily available in soil in the proper amount: Nitrogen is necessary for plant development, leaf growth, and the production of vibrant, green colour.
Phosphorus is necessary to develop roots, fruit, seeds, and flowers. Potassium, often known as potash, promotes the growth of roots and increases their tolerance to disease and dehydration.
In addition to being necessary for macronutrients, secondary nutrients, including oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur, are also frequently present in soil or air.
Only trace levels of micronutrients are required, including boron, chlorine, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, and zinc.
Tips for Choosing a fertiliser
Granular and water-soluble fertilisers are the two types of fertilisers that are offered to home gardeners. There are benefits and drawbacks to each variety. Granular fertilisers have the advantage of being long-lasting yet feed nourishment to a plant slowly. Granular fertilisers do not leak out of the soil as quickly as water-soluble kinds because the water must break them down before a plant can utilise them. Water-soluble fertilisers must be administered more often than granular fertilisers because they operate more quickly and are ephemeral.

Sustainable living, NZ style
The Heart Transition Project
Over the past month we have been moving onto a 40-acre farm known as Heartland – 40 minutes south of Auckland CBD.
Heartland is a bird sanctuary and horse-breeding farm with a 25 year-old organic orchards. Its water comes from a spring on the land, and has been found to be some of the highest quality drinking water in New Zealand.
The land here has been organically managed for over twenty years. There are a diverse range of plant species, rich healthy soils, established vegetable gardening areas and the potential for concentrated food-farming. Heartland has been planted with thousands of trees, native and exotic over the years and has many mature fruit and nut trees.
Our long term vision is to grow a network of self-sustainable farms and work towards a resource-based economy (TZM). By using a team-based systems approach, we aim to develop existing sites and construct new farms practicing permaculture values. Heartland’s orchards are a living example of an abundance of organic food. We’d like to see this happening on more land in New Zealand and across the world. The potential commercial opportunities on the land through the trustee David’s water business and the organic produce can help tenants work towards financial self-sufficiency working and living on the land.
We’d love you to come to visit and get a feel for the land and the project if you are interested in joining us … hearttransitionproject@gmail.
Seven Springs CSA
Seven Springs is a 10-acre farm located just a few kilometres west of Waitakere, West Auckland. The land is north-facing, well watered (hence the name) and easily accessible. At present less than a quarter of the property is in production, all organically managed.
They have become experts in growing and seed-raising quite a wide variety of vegetables, exploring the local palette.
New Zealand’s First CSA
In 2011 they added a CSA component to their marketing operation. This concept has been slow to catch on in NZ but is flourishing in other supermarket-dominated food economies around the world. At this stage their subscribers must pickup produce at the farm itself. Larger CSAs usually do home deliveries.
These guys are keen to spread the word and enjoy having visitors who are interested in growing food organically to come and look over their operation.
Get in touch: sevenspringsfarm.co.nz/contact-form
For more about the advantages of CSA see LocalHarvest.
