As discussed earlier, several minerals are essential for plant growth. Two water molecules are oxidized by four successive charge-separation reactions by photosystem II to yield a molecule of diatomic oxygen and four hydrogen ions; the electrons yielded are transferred to a redox-active tyrosine residue that then reduces the oxidized chlorophyll a called P that serves as the primary light-driven electron donor in the photosystem II reaction center.
All the pollutants and gases when settles on leaves surface, it blocks the pores of stomata which makes it difficult to take in carbon dioxide.
Clearly, CO2 is the limiting factor. Optimum or saturation intensities may vary with different plant species e. This means that in the restricted space, the Photosynthesis factors have to yield more.
In red algae, the action spectrum is blue-green light, which allows these algae to use the blue end of the spectrum to grow in the deeper waters that filter out the longer wavelengths red light used by above ground green plants.
The energy changes accompanying the two sets of changes make a Z shape when drawn out. CO2, light and temperature were not limiting factors.
It is found that slight deficiency of water shows a considerable reduction in plant yield.
Crops like tomatoes, lettuce are successfully grown in the greenhouses. An electron transfer system a series of chemical reactions carries the two electrons to and fro across the thylakoid membrane. During the first stage, the energy of light is absorbed and used to drive a series of electron transfers, resulting in the synthesis of ATP and the electron-donor-reduced nicotine adenine dinucleotide phosphate NADPH.
If the concentration of CO2 is raised still further, the rate of photosynthesis does not increase since light is now the limiting factor. Oxaloacetic acid or malate synthesized by this process is then translocated to specialized bundle sheath cells where the enzyme RuBisCO and other Calvin cycle enzymes are located, and where CO2 released by decarboxylation of the four-carbon acids is then fixed by RuBisCO activity to the three-carbon 3-phosphoglyceric acids.
Several modifications of chlorophyll occur among plants and other photosynthetic organisms. Leaves having high chlorophyll content do not photosynthesize rapidly since they lack the enzymes or co-enzymes to use the products of the light reactions to reduce available CO2.
We would also do well to bear in mind that if we remove the source of light, the rate of CO2 fixation falls to zero immediately. In fact, lichens are very sensitive to sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Light supplies energy for the process. General characteristics Development of the idea The study of photosynthesis began in with observations made by the English clergyman and scientist Joseph Priestley.
All green plants mainly contain chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids which are present in the thylakoids of chloroplasts and help them in capturing the light energy.
Accumulation of photosynthate in the plant cells, if not translocate, slows down and finally stops the process. Almost half a century passed before the concept of chemical energy had developed sufficiently to permit the discovery in that light energy from the sun is stored as chemical energy in products formed during photosynthesis.
It is suggested that C4 plants have photorespiration and high O2 stimulates it. The antenna system is at the core of the chlorophyll molecule of the photosystem II reaction center.
At temperatures around 0oC the enzymes stop working and at very high temperatures the enzymes are denatured. The structure of the chloroplast and photosynthetic membranes The thylakoid is the structural unit of photosynthesis.
These include ozone, SO2, oxidants, hydrogen fluorides, etc. Oxygen is inhibitory to photosynthesis because it would favour a more rapid respiratory rate utilizing common intermediates, thus reducing photosynthesis.
Water deficiency may accumulate sugars and thus increase respiration and decrease photosynthesis. The chemical reactions involved include: In these regions, chlorophylls absorb maximal light.
The problem arises because the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is less. This is why the electron transfer process is sometimes called the Z scheme. They affect the dark reactions. Further any increase in light intensity will not result in an increase in the rate of photosynthesis. The overall reaction is In the s Dutch biologist Cornelis van Niel recognized that the utilization of carbon dioxide to form organic compounds was similar in the two types of photosynthetic organisms.
Application Back to Top Study of photosynthesis and the factors affecting it helps us understand the most important biochemical life sustaining processes.
The glucose molecules then combine with each other to develop more complex carbohydrates like cellulose and starch. Plants that photosynthesized in the presence of water containing HO produced oxygen gas containing 18O; those that photosynthesized in the presence of normal water produced normal oxygen gas.
Photosynthesis requires energy in the form of light to drive the chemical reaction. Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction. The light energy required is absorbed by a green pigment called. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities (energy transformation).
The major limiting factors for photosynthesis are light intensity, temperature, and carbon dioxide levels. Light Intensity Since photosynthesis cannot begin without light, it is the first limiting. factors. Light and rate of photosynthesis At low light intensities, as light intensity increases, the rate of the light-dependent reaction, and therefore photosynthesis generally, increases proportionately (straight line relationship).
The more photons of light that fall on a leaf, the. Given other factors are limiting, the rate of photosynthesis follows Vant Hoffs rule between 6°C°C to 35°C i.e., it doubles with each increase of 10°C. Dec 21, · Furthermore, the factors affecting photosynthesis can be separated loosely into two categories, being internal and external factors.
Factors Affecting Internal factors include the structure of that particular plant, the age of the plant, the plant’s genetic .Photosynthesis factors


Genotype by environment interaction (G×E) for the target trait, e.g. yield, is an emerging property of agricultural systems and results from the interplay between a hierarchy of secondary traits involving the capture and allocation of environmental resources during the growing season. This hierarchy of secondary traits ranges from basic traits that correspond to response mechanisms/sensitivities, to intermediate traits that integrate a larger number of processes over time and therefore show a larger amount of G×E. Traits underlying yield differ in their contribution to adaptation across environmental conditions and have different levels of G×E. Here, we provide a framework to study the performance of genotype to phenotype (G2P) modeling approaches. We generate and analyze response surfaces, or adaptation landscapes, for yield and yield related traits, emphasizing the organization of the traits in a hierarchy and their development and interactions over time. We use the crop growth model APSIM-wheat with genotype-dependent parameters as a tool to simulate non-linear trait responses over time with complex trait dependencies and apply it to wheat crops in Australia. For biological realism, APSIM parameters were given a genetic basis of 300 QTLs sampled from a gamma distribution whose shape and rate parameters were estimated from real wheat data. In the simulations, the hierarchical organization of the traits and their interactions over time cause G×E for yield even when underlying traits do not show G×E. Insight into how G×E arises during growth and development helps to improve the accuracy of phenotype predictions within and across environments and to optimize trial networks. We produced a tangible simulated adaptation landscape for yield that we first investigated for its biological credibility by statistical models for G×E that incorporate genotypic and environmental covariables. Subsequently, the simulated trait data were used to evaluate statistical genotype-to-phenotype models for multiple traits and environments and to characterize relationships between traits over time and across environments, as a way to identify traits that could be useful to select for specific adaptation. Designed appropriately, these types of simulated landscapes might also serve as a basis to train other, more deep learning methodologies in order to transfer such network models to real-world situations.


Actively gardening for 34 years has been a joy and a passion. Professionally I have worked in greenhouses, for landscapers, at garden centers and for my own Lake Country Perennial Gardener, LLC business where my focus was on cottage gardens. More recently, I have been enjoying gardening for pollinators and wildlife. I have grown plants from seed, designed, planted, and maintained gardens – my own and for clients.

Hot, Dry Weather Requires Revising Management Strategy for Horses
With the intense weather hitting this summer, University of Kentucky College of Agriculture experts are recommending horse owners take stock of their pastures and consider other management options such as supplementing with hay.
According to Laurie Lawrence, a nutrition researcher and faculty member in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences, the combination of high heat and low moisture has caused cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and orchard grass to dry up in many horse pastures. Dry pastures mean low forage availability for grazing horses and a potential need for supplemental hay.
“A brief pasture walk can reveal whether a pasture has edible grass or just green weeds. If it is not clear whether there is adequate grass for horses in the paddock, the best test is to offer hay and see whether horses consume it,” she said.
“A practical approach is to put out a few flakes of hay and then observe the horses. If they devour the hay in a short time, then pasture quality is probably poor and hay is needed,” Lawrence said. “If the hay is untouched or is mostly wasted, then it may not be needed. But, just because it is not needed now doesn’t mean it won’t be needed in a few days or a week.”
The amount and type of hay that should be fed will depend upon the type of horse and the condition of the horse and pasture. For mature idle horses in good body condition, a mid-maturity grass or grass-legume mix hay will provide an adequate substitute for pasture during the summer months. However, more nutritious hay should be fed to lactating mares, foals and weanlings. Legume hays or early maturity grass-legume mixes are suitable for horses with higher requirements. Horses with a low body condition (too thin) should also be fed hay with a higher nutritive value.
According to Lawrence, a mature idle horse will generally eat about 20 pounds of pasture or hay forage per 1,000 pounds of body weight per day. Lactating mares will eat about 5 to 10 pounds more; and an allowance should also be made for their nursing foals. Because pasture may provide some of the needed forage, the amount of hay fed each day may vary. A common recommendation is to adjust the hay offered to an amount that horses will clean up between feedings.
Horses with high nutrient requirements also will usually require some concentrate supplementation, such as sweet feed or pellets, in addition to hay and pasture; concentrate, however, should not be substituted for all hay or pasture as this could result in gastrointestinal problems.
Providing hay is not just important for the horse’s nutritional state, Lawrence said. If hay is available in the pasture, it provides a substitute forage source for horses and may reduce overgrazing. Overgrazing, particularly when plants are already stressed by heat and low moisture, can negatively affect long-term pasture productivity.

Caltech doesn’t just produce brilliant minds, it also produces some damn fine olive oil. What started as a culinary experiment by a couple of undergrads in 2006, has grown into a highly-anticipated community event. The Astronomer and I attended the second annual Caltech Olive Harvest Festival to check out the action and to lend a helping hand.
With 130+ olive trees around campus, it takes a village to harvest them all. By the time we arrived at the Court of Man, the site of the majority of the trees, the harvest was already in full swing. Since we didn’t participate in Ladder Safety Training, we gathered olives from the ground while those who were properly trained shook the tree branches. Scooping up rolling olives in the hot sun is more fun than a box of rocks! Really! After filling up our first bucket, The Astronomer and I were rewarded with souvenir t-shirts. The world needs more incentives like this.
After picking olives for an hour or so, we were rewarded once again with a delicious lunch of fresh bread, infused olive oils, escargots and marinated olives. The beautiful baguettes were donated by Los Angeles’ very own La Brea Bakery.
Before digging in, there was a brief, but informative culinary demonstration about how to infuse olive oils with fresh herbs and peppers. The chef made a number of infusions using basil, rosemary, jalapeno, ghost chili and thyme. Unlike the infused olive oils sold at Williams-Sonoma, which still taste primarily oily, these were incredibly bright and flavorful. Making oil taste this good is dangerous!
A plate of marinated olives with bread—simple and good.
The Caltech Meat Club sponsored the escargot tasting, which entailed melting down several blocks of butter and mincing pounds and pounds of fresh garlic.
The highlight of the lunch spread were the escargots sauteed in garlic, butter and parsley, perched atop bread rounds. The Meat Club rules. I wish I could go back in time and start the Swarthmore Meat Club.
After the harvest, the 2,200 pounds of olives were sent to the Regalo Extra Virgin Oil company to be pressed into oil. Five ounce bottles of “Caltech’s Finest” are on sale at the bookstore for $17. Who knew Caltech was a foodie paradise?


Last week, coffee farmers in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Honduras suffered damaging rains and winds from Hurricane Iota, the second category 4 hurricane to hit the region in under two weeks.
Now, after nearly a full week of rain, producers are assessing the damage.
Key Infrastructure Destroyed
Flooding and landslides have left roads blocked, bridges demolished and powerlines destroyed.
In particular, some 500 members of the Asociacion Chajulense cooperative in Guatemala remain out of contact. Clean-up efforts had begun after Hurricane Eta, but with heavy rainfall from Hurricane Iota, the efforts stopped.
Today, some Chajul farmers must walk more than 4 hours through wreckage, mud and debris to access a road that will lead them out of their community.
Chajul is one of the key producer groups that supplies our Guatemalan coffee.
Donate to Support Chajul
Yesterday, our coffee importer, Cooperative Coffees launched a GoFundMe effort to support coffee farmers affected by the two hurricanes.
Support Coffee Producers at this GoFundMe page.
Funds donated to the general GoFundMe page will be split evenly to all of our producer partners who ask for hurricane assistance relief. But you can also support individual cooperatives directly.

Wind- and solar-powered greenhouse takes off in Gjoa Haven
“We wanted to push the limits of the green energy system”
Inside two sea cans in Gjoa Haven, butter lettuce is peeking through pots of soil. Next to that, cherry tomatoes have turned a ripe shade of red.
It’s just the beginning of what will be grown inside these shipping containers, which have been retrofitted into a research station where community members work with government researchers and a non-profit organization.
The project is funded in partnership with the Arctic Research Foundation, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the National Research Council of Canada, and the Canadian Space Agency. The project’s partners collaborated on the design and testing of a “green energy-powered controlled environment production unit for growing plants in Canada’s North,” a news release said.
The Arctic Research Foundation is non-profit organization that coordinates scientific, cultural and economic research in the Arctic.
“When I first heard of [the project] I thought it would never work up here. No. Not in this 40 below zero. Now I know anything is possible if you have the right idea…. I had a taste of the vegetation. It was fresh,” Peter Akkikungnaq, a Gjoa Haven elder, said in the release.
The project is called Naurvik, which means “the growing place” in Inuinnaqtun.
Naurvik is powered by a row of solar panels and two wind turbines. A diesel generator has also been installed on site to automatically kick in if both wind and sun fail.
Adrian Schimnowski, CEO of the Arctic Research Foundation, told Nunatsiaq News finding a location for the project was critical.
“We had to find a location where there’s adequate wind, where it’s close to the community but also allows safety. It’s up on a gravel hill, very stable ground, and it’s visible from the town, visible from the school. But it’s also kind of across the bay. It’s also a location that allows different types of expansion,” Schimnowski said.
Work on the project began in 2014, when Schimnowski was in Gjoa Haven for work that led to the discovery of the wreck of the Franklin expedition.
But things started to move quickly in the fall of 2019, when materials for the project arrived on the sea lift.
“As soon as it arrived, we started assembling. By end of October, we had some ready to plant. By November, we had our first crop. So it’s been very, very quick.”
For now, food grown in the greenhouse is given to elders in the community. But by 2025, Schimnowski hopes a larger community-led effort to grow food with renewable energy will be operational in Gjoa Haven.
Community members have also expressed interest in adding a community freezer for country food to the project.
Schimnowski said the team wanted to get the project built before winter to test how it would operate in 24-hour darkness.
“We wanted to push the limits of the green energy system but also see what works and what doesn’t work—and learn quickly from it, so that as we start getting into more daylight, we can really benefit from the initial experiment at the beginning, realize what the true potential is.”
“We’re growing plants that are resilient and hearty, but we need to learn and teach while we’re also learning how to balance the systems within the environment. Soon, we’ll be adding more complicated plants, like berries and tea.”
Right now, five people from Gjoa Haven work as technicians at Naurvik. The technicians check in weekly with the project’s partners.
Schimnowski said there is already interest to expand the project by adding more grow pods and more sea can research stations.
“The idea is that we can expand, almost like adding modules to a space station,” Schimnowski said.
“Our partners are already thinking of adding another grow pod, maybe two. Ideas are floating around where we can have one that’s just for education, where students can come in and do their own planting experiments.”
Naurvik’s team also hopes the project can be built in other communities.
“I think we will expand to the next community that’s open to the idea. The community of Gjoa Haven will help in the training and the ideas and collaborations. It’s this really neat, magic thing that’s happening,” Schimnowski said.
“7 out of 10 Nunavut kids regularly go to bed hungry.”
So, we give them … lettuce?
This is the kind of nonsensical research that sparks all kinds of silly discussion among policy makers regarding the feasibility of greenhouses as a cure for northern food insecurity. Growing a few heads of lettuce and a basket or two of cherry tomatoes WILL NEVER resolve the issues around food security! Enhancing the ability of Inuit and northern hunters to harvest the country food they have eaten for millenia will do that but nobody is interested in writing or reading about that.
As a learning experience this is great. But as a way to feed Nunavummiut, not so much.
Each of 40,000 Nunavummiut eat an average of 5 pounds of food every day. Nunavut needs 200,000 pounds of food each and every day. That’s about 70,000,000 pounds of food each year.
These new greenhouses need sun or wind or backup diesel to heat the building, to power the lights that give energy to the plants and to heat & pump all the water they need.
The new greenhouses would need about 1,000,000 liters of water every day, summer and winter. Water gets scarce in many Nunavut communities, particularly during the winter. Just saying.
If the greenhouses are on trucked water then you have to figure the fuel for all those trucks.
And then there’s the back-up diesel generators and the fuel they need.
The greenhouses would also need a huge amount of fertilizer – you don’t think fruits and vegetables are just water and sunlight, do you?
As a reference point, the Iqaluit green house used to produce just over 100 pounds of food each year.
All this is not to say that Nunavuumiut could not feed themselves entirely with greenhouses, but it would take a huge commitment, an immense amount of startup capital, and a tremendous amount of ongoing effort.
So far, the will and the leadership have not been there. No Nunavut community has been able to “produce” the serviced lots needed to house all its families. Growing the food needed by their families is a much, much, much bigger project.
Show me a Nunavut community that has put an end to crime and violence and substance abuse. Then I’ll believe they are capable sticking to a commitment to grow their own food.
A cash crop of Nunavut grown cannabis, “northern Lights strain” or, name it something else if you want, would bring in the cash needed to buy more food.
Or we could get our stuff together and start herding caribou like our buddies in northern Europe/Asia.
There is also Fish hatcheries to replenish the fish population.
We can start a sealing industry; where the meat goes to families that are in need, and the skins are sold either in full form or crafts.
I don’t see a future in sea can grow ops.. How many would you need to feed all hungry people lettuce every day?
good on you Guys and Gals for trying this. it’s a good start and nice to see some initiatives to try bring some new ideas to bring fresh produce up to our people.
home grown cannabis.
right, you would need to grow it inside Fort Knoxicle up North, can you imagine how much it would get broken into! either grow it 100 km outside of town or triple steel doors with 24 hour security.
Grow it next to the police station , put barbwire flood lights and cameras , oh and hire , a night gaurd , who is not a pothead

The key to developing drought-resistant tomatoes may be hidden in the genes of their ancestors.
Kathleen DiNapoli is on a hunt to find it.
Peering through the lens of a microscope in the basement of Wake Forest’s Biology building, DiNapoli, a rising junior, and biology professor Gloria Muday are examining the genomes of common agricultural tomatoes, Lycopersicon esculentumn (Le) that have had a portion of their DNA swapped out with that of their more drought-resistant ancestors, L. pennellii (Lp).
The two researchers, along with post-doctoral research Greg Maloney, are looking for specific regions of ancestral DNA that when bred into the cultivated tomato lines lead to increased lateral root growth, more root hairs, and production of antioxidant compounds called flavonoids.
Their hope is that identifying ancestral genes that offer growth advantages will help scientists breed tomatoes with the ability to cope with drought conditions and other dynamic environmental stressors.
“The world population continues to grow despite our finite sources of agricultural land and compounding this, global climate change is limiting the amount of land that is suitable for plant growth,” DiNapoli said. “If we are able to understand how these genes from ancestral tomatoes function on a molecular level, we may be able to breed plants that would grow more successfully in different climates.”
The prestigious Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation will provide funding for DiNapoli’s research.
Established in 1997 by the famed scientific innovator and inventor Arnold O. Beckman, the Beckman Scholars Program provides exceptionally talented scholars at select universities with funding to pursue research and training in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, physics and the biological and medical sciences.
Wake Forest was one of 12 universities selected for this year’s Beckman Scholars Award from a competitive field of applicants.
Rebecca Alexander, chemistry professor and co-director of the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities (URECA) Center, chaired the selection committee that selected DiNapoli as one of Wake Forest’s first two Beckman scholars.
“The Beckman Scholars Program will further enhance our undergraduates’ preparation for top science graduate programs,” Alexander said.
The Beckman program will provide DiNapoli funding to conduct research for 15 months. In addition, DiNapoli will be presenting results from her experiments at the American Society of Plant Biologists annual meeting in Portland this August, where she will also be honored as a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow.
Muday said the Beckman scholarship will give DiNapoli the chance to get an immersive research experience that is otherwise hard to come by.
“Learning how to conceptualize an idea into a research experiment, developing the rights controls and then collecting data takes a full summer,” she said. “The idea that Kathleen will have the time and funding to put her experiment together, collect results and then analyze them in the form of a paper is a fantastic opportunity for an undergraduate.”
DiNapoli said she is excited to be doing research as an undergraduate that might play into a future career after college.
“There is a lot of research being done across the country in the area of plant root development,” she said. “My plans are to attend a PhD program after I graduate and it is exciting to think I am working on something now that will help me land a job doing something I love after I graduate.”

Benefits of Organic Products
Organic produce contains fewer pesticides.
Chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and residues remain on (and in) the food we eat.
Organic food is often fresher
ecause it doesn’t contain preservatives that make it last longer. Organic produce is often (but not always, so watch where it is from) produced on smaller farms near where it is sold.
Organic farming is better for the environment
Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.
Feeding livestock animal byproducts increases the risk of mad cow disease (BSE) and the use of antibiotics can create antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. Organically-raised animals are given more space to move around and access to the outdoors, which help to keep them healthy.
Organic meat and milk are richer in certain nutrients
Results of a 2016 European study show that levels of certain nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, were up to 50 percent higher in organic meat and milk than in conventionally raised versions.
Organic food is GMO-free
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) or genetically engineered (GE) foods are plants whose DNA has been altered in ways that cannot occur in nature or in traditional crossbreeding, most commonly in order to be resistant to pesticides or produce an insecticide.


How to Avoid a Drought That Could Be Deadly for Your Family
Nate Parker and his wife, actress Kate Winslet, have just become the first people to lose their homes during a historic drought.
But they’re not the only ones to be impacted.
The next two weeks will be critical for millions of people around the country who depend on water.
And while it’s not clear what will happen to the millions more who will have to find ways to cope with a prolonged water shortage, it’s clear that this drought is going to be the most challenging in decades.
So to help you understand the challenges facing you, here are 10 key points to remember as we head into the next few weeks: * The drought is being called the “most severe drought in history.”
That’s the number that’s been used by some news outlets to describe the drought.
It’s also the number the USDA uses to describe its worst-hit regions.
And it’s actually a slightly different number, according to a USDA official.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, reports that the drought has “devastated” five of the nine regions affected by the drought in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, California, and Georgia.
The last drought was in 1976.
The average loss from the drought since the late 1970s is 2.8 million acre-feet (1.5 million metric tons) of water, according the NOAA.
“This drought has been the most severe drought we’ve had in our nation’s history, and we’ve never seen it in terms of losses,” NOAA director Craig Fugate said.
“So we’ve really been hit hard, and it has been devastating to the farmers, ranchers, and people who depend upon these water resources.”
* The average drought in the U.S. has impacted people in many different ways.
Some people in the United States, including farmers and ranchers who rely on water from the Ogallala aquifer, have lost a lot of water.
Others are still recovering from the effects of the drought, including some who rely heavily on irrigation water from wells.
But many people, including those who are already in severe drought, will be impacted the most.
The drought’s impacts will affect every facet of life in the country.
Here are some of the biggest challenges that will be facing people: * Millions of people across the country will face water restrictions and shortages for months or years as the drought continues to affect their water use.
The amount of water that farmers can use in a year is limited by rainfall.
The U.N. predicts that in the next two years, some regions could have as much as a half-billion acre-foot (2.2 million metric ton) of unused water available to them.
That’s enough to fill more than 10 Olympic-size swimming pools, or nearly 3,500 Olympic-sized basketball courts.
* People are also concerned about water security.
The United States is the largest producer of water in the world.
In the last few decades, it has become one of the world’s most water-scarce countries.
But with the drought continuing to worsen, many farmers have warned that they may not be able to get enough water from their fields or water their homes.
That could put a huge strain on supplies for people in areas that rely on the aquifer for water.
* The next few months will be a time of reckoning for millions in the areas that depend on the Ogalana aquifer and on water deliveries from the Colorado River.
As the drought extends, the Ogas are expected to start to run dry, forcing farmers to make decisions about how much water they can grow.
That means the state could be without water for months, or even years, at a time.
People will be forced to ration their food supplies, which will also have a huge impact on water security and on communities that rely heavily upon the water.
But water will still be plentiful in many areas.
“With the Ogles being the only water source in the entire state, we have to get a lot more water from them,” said Jim Crain, the executive director of the Colorado Water Conservation Commission.
“The aquifer is going dry.
It is really the last thing we need right now.”
* Floods are a huge concern in parts of the U; the Ogalis are also facing a drought.
The Ogallalas river is also drying up, which is putting a strain on some other water sources.
Floods will also be a major concern in the western U. S., including parts of Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming.
And that’s likely to lead to more flooding in those areas.
* While most of the country is experiencing a drought, it is important to remember that a lot can change.
Some parts of California, Arizona, and Nevada are already seeing a drought that is already worse than last year’s, according an official at the U, a federal agency that monitors drought.
There are also reports of parts of Montana,


“People got in their head, well, if it’s man-made somehow it’s potentially dangerous, but if it’s natural, it isn’t. That doesn’t really fit with anything we know about toxicology. When we understand how animals are resistant to chemicals, the mechanisms are all independent of whether it’s natural or synthetic. And in fact, when you look at natural chemicals, half of those tested came out positive [for toxicity in humans].” –Bruce Ames
“I’m going to live to be 100 unless I’m run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver.” –J. I. Rodale, a father of the organic movement who died of a heart attack at age 72 while taping an episode of “The Dick Cavett Show” shortly after announcing “I’ve decided to live to be a hundred” and “I never felt better in my life!” The show never aired. [For those who think this is a cheap shot: this kind of wishful thinking is common among the defenders of all things organic.]
Key myths and beliefs
Organic food is food produced by organic farming, a set of techniques based on anti-scientific beliefs, myths, and superstition.
A key belief of groups like the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and the Soil Association, which oppose conventional farming in favor of organic farming, is that pesticides and fertilizers are so harmful that they should be avoided unless they are “natural.” This belief is contradicted by the vast majority of scientific studies that have been done on these subjects (Morris and Bate 1999; Taverne 2006; NCPA study). The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has put in place a set of national standards that food labeled “organic” must meet, whether it is grown in the United States or imported from other countries. “USDA makes no claims that organically produced food is safer or more nutritious than conventionally produced food. Organic food differs from conventionally produced food in the way it is grown, handled, and processed.”*
Harm from bacterial contamination is a much greater possibility from natural fertilizers (Stossel 2005: 194). (For those of you who hate John Stossel, read the newspaper. The most dangerous bacteria in America’s food supply is E. coli, which is found in abundance in cattle manure, a favorite “natural” fertilizer of organic farming.)
The residues from pesticides on food, natural or synthetic, are not likely to cause harm to consumers because they occur in minute quantities.* (This fact does not make either kind of pesticide safe for those who work with them and are exposed to large quantities on a regular basis. I refer to residues on foods you and I are likely to find on fruits and vegetable we buy at the store or market.) Using natural biological controls rather than synthetic pesticides is more dangerous to the environment (Morris and Bate 1999). The amounts of pesticide residue produced by plants themselves or introduced by organic farmers are significantly greater than the amounts of synthetic pesticide residues. Almost all of the pesticides we ingest in food are naturally produced by plants to defend themselves against insects, fungi, and animal predators (Ames and Gold 1997). The bottom line is that fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you and it doesn’t matter whether they’re organic.
Over 30 separate investigations of about 500,000 people have shown that farmers, millers, pesticide-users, and foresters, occupationally exposed to much higher levels of pesticide than the general public, have much lower rates of cancer overall (Taverne 2006: 73.)
Groups like IFOAM refer to synthetic pesticides as “toxic,” even though the amount of pesticides people are likely to ingest through food are always in non-toxic amounts. Many toxic substances occur naturally in foods, e.g.,arsenic in meat, poultry, dairy products, cereals, fish, and shellfish, but usually in doses so small as not to be worthy of concern. On the IFOAM website you will find the following message:
Although IFOAM has no official position on the quality of organic food, it’s easy to conclude that the overall nutritional and health-promoting value of food is compromised by farming methods that utilize synthetic fertilizers and toxic pesticides.
It’s easy to conclude—as long as you ignore the bulk of the scientific evidence that is available.
The myth of organic superiority
The evidence for the superiority of organic food is mostly anecdotal and based more on irrational assumptions and wishful thinking than on hard scientific evidence.

Mr. Davis owns one of the largest jam, jelly and preserves plants in the country. He’s based in Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. Davis prides himself on producing the finest products in the business. His prices are high, but his product is nationally renowned. Accordingly, he buys only the best fruit for his product. One day he heard about a peach grower in South Carolina who claimed to grow the finest peaches in the land. Davis decided to see for himself. He went to the farms and met Mr. Potter, the owner. After sampling the peaches, Davis had to have them for his product. Anticipating that he would want the peaches, Davis went by the nearby docks on his way to see Potter and learned that the Excelsior, a cargo vessel, would be sailing for Boston on July 10, 2012. Davis and Potter executed a written contract for a large shipment of peaches to be shipped to Boston on the Excelsior on the first sailing after the date of the contract. Prior to meeting with Davis, Potter, hoping he would sell peaches to Davis, contacted a local shipper and was told the Excelsior would be leaving for Boston July 12, 2012.
Davis immediately went back to his plant in Massachusetts and hired a large number of employees to begin work on July 12 (It takes two days to ship peaches from the grower to Boston.) He also contracted for the purchase of a great deal of sugar, jars, etc. because he planned on a tremendous sales campaign based on his peach jam, jelly and preserves. For his part, Potter hired additional laborers to pick and pack the peaches to be sent to Boston. On July 12, Potter’s employees picked and packed the peaches necessary to send to Davis. They were placed on the Excelsior and shipped on the afternoon of July 12. On the afternoon of July 12, Davis had numerous employees at the dock as the Excelsior arrived, and he had numerous other employees at the plant ready to begin immediate processing of the fruit.
Lo and behold, the Excelsior was unloaded and no peaches! He called Potter. During the conversation Potter told him the fruit had been shipped on the Excelsior that afternoon. Davis furiously informed him that the Excelsior was in Boston as they spoke. A call to the dock clarified the situation. There were TWO ships named Excelsior. One ship sailed on the 10th and arrived on the 12th. The other ship sailed on the 12th and would arrive on the 14th. Davis had learned about the first Excelsior, and Potter about the second. Neither was aware of the existence of two ships named Excelsior.
Davis told Potter he had stopped production at his plant, so they could just produce product from the peaches. He told Potter he would suffer tremendous damages because the peaches were not in Boston on the 12th. Potter told Davis he had sold the peaches to Davis and turned down other buyers; the peaches would rot before he could find another buyer. Davis told Potter he couldn’t use fruit on the 14th and told him he would refuse the delivery. Potter sued for his damages. Davis counter-sued for his damages. PLEASE ASSUME THAT IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, THE CONTRACT WAS PROPER. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE EXECUTION OR ANY OTHER TERMS.

It is with pleasure that we are working again with Cafetelera Buenos Aires - from Nicragua !
We find notes of pineapple, honey and apple, to make a complex, sweet, fruity and very funky espresso
Cafetelera Buenos Aires is a 215 hectare family business, created over 55 years ago by Luis Emilio Valladarez. The farm produces coffees of the Caturra, Catuaï, Maragogype, Maracaturra and Villa Sarchi varieties, in honey, plain and washed process. Located in the municipality of Buenos Aires, in the Dipilto mountains, the company is located in a specialty coffee production area, near the border with Honduras. The farm enjoys a microclimate, which favors the production of these specialty coffees.
The coffees are planted on sandy soil, at an altitude of between 1,200 and 1,700 meters above sea level, and the coffee trees are produced under shade (70% with various essences), with soil fertilization and plants respecting the environment. . The producers carry out full disease control and constant monitoring of the production stages. Their main objective is to carry out substantive work in terms of quality, in order to develop relationships of trust with their customers.
Luis Emilio Valladarez has been working in the world of coffee for 60 years and started his activity by buying a small farm called Buenos Aires then two other farms, La Laguna and El Suyatal. All its production was then sold in cherries. A few years ago, the producer decided to build his own processing plant - Cafetalera Buenos Aires - with the aim of controlling the production and export of his coffees.
Today, he works with his son Olman, on two plantations: Buenos Aires Estate and La Laguna. A family collaboration that began in 2004, when Olman began to support his father and brother in the management and administration of the family farms. Since 2005, the goal of these passionate producers has been to develop in the world of specialty coffee; They have also participated several times in the Nicaraguan Cup of Excellence. In 2014, they climbed to second place on the podium for their lot of Maracaturra El Naranjo Dipilto!

Environmental Problems in Costa Rica
Like many countries, Costa Rica - a country located in Central America - also experiences struggles environmentally. One of which is the dreadful case of deforestation in the country. Deforestation is a major peril to Costa Rica's biodiversity. It causes vigorous woodlands to go shaven and then precipitates soil erosion, flood, and puts several species residing in the forests under threat. Fertilizers and pesticides, according to UN, are also causes of the befouling in the soil of Costa Rican lands, affecting the growth of crops.


We have a planter box in our back garden that is empty. Alf and I decided it took too much work, and not to mention water, to nurture and grow vegetables. Consequently, word got out in the neighborhood and it has become the toilet for cats that poop in for visits. I caught one the other day peeing. He looked me straight in the face with a grin and continued peeing.
Our son however, didn’t like the look of the empty box. Last weekend he showed up for a visit with four sweet pea plants and put them in the ground.
“The soil is full of cat pee,” I warned.
“Fertilizer,” he said.
I love sweet peas with their curly tendrils and their delicate multi-colored flowers that can fill a room with their fragrance. We didn’t have trellises, but he found leftover tomato plant stands which he put around each plant.
“Take care of them,” he said when he left.
Two weeks later he called me from the road to Idaho. “How are the sweet peas?”
I stuttered. It has been scorching hot and the sweet peas turned lemon yellow and looked exhausted.
I called a local nursery for help. They told me to shade the plants with an umbrella, water them frequently and fertilize them.
I envisioned taking shifts with Alf holding umbrellas over them. Or recruiting neighborhood kids to take turns and we’d pay them in candy.
What we did instead was drape a tablecloth over the tops of the stands, and clip clothespins to keep it from flying away. It looks like a Sukkah booth.

The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is known for producing some of the finest tea leaves in the world. Here, tea is grown at a high altitude with a lot of rain and in red volcanic soil.
