Sustainable, Organic, Biodynamic and Natural Wines: What do the Terms Mean?
Sustainability is the idea that all farming practices should preserve the land and make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources to provide for current and future generations. Sustainability refers to a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible. There are wineries that simply call themselves sustainable, but are actually organic. They may have chosen not to go through the long and costly process of becoming certified organic.
While there are no set standards for sustainable farming there are third-party agencies that offer sustainability certifications such as the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing certification program. To learn more visit: .http://www.sustainablewinegrowing.org/.
Another example is the Global Wine Sector Environmental Sustainability Principles which has a set of guidelines that aims to help wineries and growers take care of the environment, their employees and the community’s interests, along with the vineyard. More information is available at: http://www.sustainablewinegrowing.org/docs/cswa_gwsesp_brochure.pdf
Growers of organic grapes do not utilize chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or genetically modified seeds. In order to be certified organic, a farm must not have utilized any of these products for at least three years. A variety of ground cover plants, extensive use of compost and natural products are used to control pests and insects. There are many small artisanal producers that grow grapes in the spirit of organics, but are not legally certified.
USDA organic designations
- “100% Organic”: The wine is made from 100% certified organic ingredients, processed without synthetic agents and contains no added sulfites*. Naturally occurring sulfite levels in these wines must be less than 20 parts per million. The label will bear the USDA 100% organic seal.
- “Organic”: The wine is made with 95% certified organic ingredients, and contains no added sulfites. Winemakers must prove that certified organic ingredients aren’t available for the remaining 5% of ingredients. The label will bear the USDA organic seal.
- “Made with Organic Grapes”: The wine is made with 70% certified organic ingredients, and sulfites can be added up to 100 parts per million. The label can't bear the USDA organic seal.
For more information, visit http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/usda/usdahome?navid=organic-agriculture and http://www.ccof.org/certification.
In 1924, the basic principles of biodynamic farming were established. The designation applies a holistic approach and philosophy that views farms and vineyards as self-sustaining ecosystems. It uses the teachings of Austrian anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner who spent his life studying the forces that regulate life and growth. Everything that is done on the farm should bring harmony to the organism, keep the soil healthy and preserve the farm for future generations. While practices such as water conservation and energy reduction are implemented, other cosmic influences often apply such as planting, pruning and harvesting crops according to lunar and astrological cycles. Biodynamic certification can be costly to attain, so just as with organic farming, many biodynamically prepared wines do not say so on the label.
Biodynamic farms in the U.S. must pass the three-year transition-to-organic period required by the USDA's National Organic Program. Furthermore, they must implement other sustainable farming practices, including energy and water-saving techniques. Biodynamic wines may contain sulfites up to 100 parts per million. The Demeter USA logo on the label guarantees that the wine has been produced biodynamically. For more information, visit the Demeter Association Website at, http://www.demeter-usa.org/
The natural wine philosophy embraces the components of organic and biodynamic grape growing and takes it a step further by including minimum technological intervention in growing grapes and vinifying as naturally as possible. Additives such as sugar, acidifiers, and powdered tannins are avoided. Manipulations such as the use of spinning cones to remove alcohol, micro-oxygenation to accelerate aging, the use of laboratory cultivated yeast, filtering and removal of excess dilution in a wet vintage are unacceptable. In short, natural wines are the truest representation of what nature provided from the land in a particular year. For more information read this article at, http://www.rawfair.com/what-natural-wine
*Sulfites are preservatives, made from diluted mined sulfur, that prevent oxidation and bacterial spoilage. Because sulfites are an ingredient that can occur in wine naturally, and mined sulfites have been used in viticulture for centuries, their inclusion in organic wine is an area of contention.

Ideas On How You Can Go About Removing Weeds From A Lake
The reason why aquatic plants are so beneficial and helpful is that they will normally be food sources, oxygen sources and also homes to the wildlife that live in the lake. The high and fast spreading of these plants can, however, hinder or limit the activities that go on in the lakes. The lakes that are affected by the rapid growth of aquatic plants are not only hindered in their activities by they are choked and also ruined.
Manual removing of weeds is a good way to start removing the weeds that grow in a high rate destroying the life of the lake. You cannot be guaranteed that you will remove all the weeds when you use this method but it is still a very highly effective method. This is because you may still have a lot of weeds being left inside the lake and attached to the debris.
The very second way to try and remove weeds from the lake is by the use of chemicals. The use of as ration and chemical techniques is what we are talking about when we talk about this method. In this method, the weeds in the lake are normally killed by other plants that grow at the bottom of the lake that feeds on rich nutrients that are given to them through this method. You are able to ensure that there is limited growth of plants at the bottom of the lake by both insertion of natural bacteria and aeration techniques in the water.
The other one is by use of harvesters and weed rakes. Each time the aquatic plants have really grown and the situation has now become extreme, the use of a rake as a harvester and the use of a proper weed cutter will always do it. Some weed cutters are used specifically to remove some very tough weeds. When you are dealing with the toughest kind of weeds and you use these kinds of weed cutters, you will not be disappointed in the least as it will do this work perfectly.
Lake weeds also have another method that is very effective in dealing with them which is known as the Aqua Screen method. Aquatic weeds do not stand a chance when you deal with them using this kind of method. In this method, weeds will literally be stopped from growing by some screen being placed on top of them. In case you want to limit sunlight by using a barrier, you can also be sure that this method will really be applicable and available.

Abundant worldwide, most fungi are inconspicuous because of the small size of their structures, and their cryptic lifestyles in soil, on dead matter, and as symbionts of plants, animals, or other fungi. They may become noticeable when fruiting, either as mushrooms or molds.
Fungi perform an essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange. They have long been used as a direct source of food, such as mushrooms and truffles, as a leavening agent for bread, and in fermentation of various food products, such as wine, beer, and soy sauce. Since the 1940s, fungi have been used for the production of antibiotics, and, more recently, various enzymes produced by fungi are used industrially and in detergents. Fungi are also used as biological pesticides to control weeds, plant diseases and insect pests. Many species produce bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, such as alkaloids and polyketides, that are toxic to animals including humans.
The fruiting structures of a few species contain psychotropic compounds and are consumed recreationally or in traditional spiritual ceremonies. Fungi can break down manufactured materials and buildings, and become significant pathogens of humans and other animals. Losses of crops due to fungal diseases (e.g. rice blast disease) or food spoilage can have a large impact on human food supplies and local economies.

Encouraged by response to Bhavantar Bhugtan Yojana (BBY), a price deficiency payment scheme implemented last year for eight kharif crops in the wake of farm distress, the Madhya Pradesh government on Tuesday extended it to four rabi crops. These include onion, the procurement of which had left the government in tears last year.
Under BBY, the government does not procure the produce from farmers. Instead, when prices fall below the minimum support price (MSP), the government pays the difference between the MSP and a modal rate worked out by taking the average of selling price in mandis in three states over a fixed period.
Nearly 10.5 lakh farmers, who registered themselves under the scheme for kharif crops, have sold 28.3 lakh MT of produce, including soybean, moong, til, ramtil, arhar and maize. The scheme was introduced in October last year, four months after farmer unrest claimed six lives. The registration for rabi crops — chana, mustard, lentil and onion — will begin from February 12 at 3,500 primary agriculture co-op societies and continue until March 12. The government, officials said, expects 70 per cent farmers to register themselves for the scheme, up from 48 per cent in kharif season.
The Opposition has criticised the scheme, stating that it worked in favour of traders who mannipulated prices at mandis and kept them low.

Selected Plants of Navajo Rangelands
(a.k.a. Ragwort, groundsel)
Senecio plants have simple or branched upright growth with leaves alternate on the stem. Flowers are yellow and appear from April to October.
Plants in the genus Senecio produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which cause liver damage in livestock and humans when these compounds are ingested. Senecio is poisonous to cattle and horses and toxic to humans, such as when plant parts are harvested, either intentionally or unintentionally, for use in herbal teas.
Some Senecio species (e.g., S. vulgaris) reduce crop yield. Others affect pasture productivity, are poisonous to livestock, or affect native plant communities.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), says 13 states produced 36,943.8 metric tonnes of wheat in 2021.
The figure is contained in the “Wheat Production Survey in Nigeria, 2021”, obtained from the NBS website on Monday in Abuja.
According to it, Kano State at 19.68 per cent, accounted for the highest wheat produced by producing 6,512.8 tonnes.
This was followed by Jigawa which produced 5,854.8 tonnes (17.69 per cent), Kebbi 4,422 tonnes, while Zamfara at 672 tonnes, accounted for the least (1.62 per cent).
“However, in terms of average yield per hectare, Plateau recorded the maximum yield (3.8 tonnes/hectare).
“This was followed by Gombe (3.7 tonnes/hectare), Kano and Jigawa states, with 2.8 tonnes per hectare each, while Kaduna has the least (2.7 tonnes/hectare).”
The report said that the survey was carried out in Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Plateau, Yobe, and Zamfara.
It covered the 2020/2021 farming season with wheat yield per hectare estimated through crop cutting experiment while total land area cultivated was estimated by satellite mapping.
It said that in determining the total land area cultivated, the NBS first built an Artificial Intelligence (AI) model which uses remote sensing satellite images to distinguish between wheat and non-wheat pixels.
This, it said, helps in predicting wheat acreage for different Local Government Areas (LGAs).
The NBS said that the objectives of carrying out the survey were to determine the yield per hectare of wheat, determine total production of wheat in Nigeria and determine total land under cultivation with wheat.
It would also help to estimate acreage and crop yield for wheat in 2020 – 2021 and validate the predicted results with ground collected data.
The survey was sponsored by the Flour Milling Association of Nigeria (FMAN), while Crop in Technology Solutions was contracted for the Satellite Mapping.
It added that representatives of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural development (FMARD) as well as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) served as advisors and technical supporters of the study.


Backyard gardens which was previously playing a key role in our daily feeding at our various homes is gradually eliminating from the system due to a modern way of building our houses with tiles all over the houses.
Due to this Nana Kwaku Arhin, the CEO for “Eat what you grow and grow what you eat project” has launched a campaign to motivate and encourage Ghanaians to go back and practice the backyard system of farming to help in eating what we grow and growing what we eat.
Speaking in an interview with Anaafi Kokooto, he expressed worry about how most of the vegetables and fruits in the markets are sprayed with chemicals to ripe prematurely for human consumption which poses a threat to our health hence, the advise to practice backyard garden system to be able to eat from what we grow as well as growing what we eat.
The broadcast journalist explained that, there is a box farming option for those who are living in tiled houses to fill their boxes with a fertile soil and grow the seedlings.
He then encouraged individuals to embrace the initiative since it has many positive impacts ranging from health to cost reduction in the market.
Meanwhile the Cape Coast Metro Director of Agriculture Mrs.Olympia Williams called on every individual especially the youths to embrace the initiative which will cut down cost of buying those grown items in the market.
Mrs.Williams encouraged the youths not to always rely on white color jobs but to venture into Agric which will earn them income at the end.
She then used the opportunity to educate the growers on how to use chemicals on their farm produce to prevent any side effect after eating them.


Agrotechnology or perhaps agriculture technology is the utilization of modern products, services and technologies to improve several agricultural inputs and outputs. It should boost crop yields, improve soil circumstances, enhance harvesting and processing machines, reduce wastage, among others.
Additionally to aiding farmers to increase their crop production potential by increasing soil wellness, enhancing the actual of crops, and optimizing agribusiness costs, modern agtech could also improve meals safety and traceability. The reason is , agri-enterprises can better manage hazards and variability in plants production by using predictive stats, allowing them to help to make informed decisions based on the actual and historical performance with their farms.
Several technological developments have already improved farming practices in past times, including mechanization, the use of chemical manures and pesticides, genetically revised seeds, and more. But even more must be done to remodel the industry in order for all of us to be able to match future requirements for meals.
According to the United Nations, a business-as-usual scenario would probably see all of us having to produce per cent more foodstuff by 2050. That’s why the invasion of modern aktiengesellschaft tech is important to our www.americanbusinesscouncil.net/what-to-expect-from-data-room-due-diligence/ future success, as it allows us to grow food more productively and sustainably with a lot less need for external inputs.
Yet , a major barrier to agtech’s success is the fact it requires a considerable investment and several farmers might be hesitant to do this. Fortunately, plans that encourage the utilization of digital equipment will help you to overcome this. This includes endorsing and creating unambiguous legislation that can help to ease the transition to new technology. It should be paired with educational endeavors to educate and train maqui berry farmers on how to properly utilize contemporary ag technical.


Deaths Door Gin - Washington Island 700ml Washington Island once known for its potato farming. Washington Island “spuds” made their way around the world for their quality and flavor. However, in the early 1970’s, vertical integration in the potato industry left Washington Island without contracts to grow its crops. Without customers, island farmers stopped planting and instead switched to other jobs that were either more tourism-based, or moved off the island to find a livelihood elsewhere. Fast forward to 2005, a small group of like-minded people began exploring reinvigorating farming on Washington Island. Armed with enough seed to plant 5 acres and enough know-how to get it done — brothers Tom and Ken Koyen began growing wheat on the island. What started as wheat to use as flour at the Washington Island Hotel has grown into a select specialty grain for use in Capital Brewery’s Island Wheat Ale and all of Death’s Door Spirits products. Death’s Door Gin is a classic London Dry style, but with a surprisingly simple botanical mix of organic juniper berries, coriander and fennel. Like their vodka, it employs a base of organic Washington Island wheat and organic malted barley from Chilton, Wisconsin.

Last February, the Palm Springs Cultural Center sponsored a certified open-air farmers market in the parking lot of the Camelot Theater. The Saturday event was an immediate success with locals and visitors alike. Not a big surprise.
The Coachella Valley supplies much of the country with its produce, but our own grocery stores are filled with over-priced, under ripe, tastless fruits and vegetables from other parts of the world.
By popular demand, farmers markets were also opened last year, in La Quinta and Palm Desert. If you’ve forgotten what a tomatoe tastes like, the Palm Springs farmers markets will reopen for the season, on Saturday, September 26th. La Quinta reopens on Sunday, September 27th and Palm Desert reopens on on Wednesday, September 30th.

Video: Difference Between Pulvinus And Petiole
2023 Autor: Mildred Bawerman | [email protected]. Naposledy změněno: 2023-05-24 11:17
The key difference between pulvinus and petiole is that pulvinus is the small swelling present at the base of a leaf, facilitating the movement of the leaf, while petiole is the leaf stalk that connects the leaf blade to stem.
Pulvinus and petiole are two important structures found in plants. Both structures are related to plant leaves. Pulvinus is a small swelling situated at the point where the petiole joins the leaf to stem. Therefore, pulvinus is seen at the base of the petiole. It facilitates growth independent leaf movements. Petiole is the leaf stalk which connects the leaf into the stem.


This post is a long time in the making. I’ve been trying to grow an avocado plant from a seed for years, and I couldn’t figure out how until very recently. If you google growing your own avocado plant, it seems like the process is simple, but even the simplest things require a bit of care. The method I am going to share is the method that worked for me, and I hope my tips help you grow your very own avocado plant.
Growing an avocado tree is a marathon not a sprint, and it will take many years of care (about 5-7) for your plant to produce fruit. Also, due to the way plants are grafted, your tree will not produce fruit with the same flavor as the fruit it came from. Nevertheless, growing plants from seeds or seedlings is really fun, and I find my little avocado tree looks stunning on my windowsill.
Here is what you’ll need to grow your own avocado tree from a seed:
- A very ripe avocado
- three toothpicks
- a small cylinder shaped glass vase
- a sunny windowsill
I decided to take a stab at growing an avocado plant from the seed because I discovered a very ripe avocado with a seed that was already cracking with a seedling inside. I couldn’t let the little guy go to waste, and I felt I needed to give him a chance.
I started by browsing what felt like dozens of websites looking to find what I could do differently to make sure my plant would thrive. I believe a found a few essential tips that helped this plant sprout after many failed attempts.
This is how it started…
- The seed from my avocado had already sprouted when I removed it from the fruit
- I have kept the seed halfway in water the entire time
- The vase I am using is long enough to allow significant root growth
To set up my plant I stated by washing it gently and removing the brown layer of skin from the pit.
Pro tip: Some websites say removing the brown skin around the avocado seed is not necessary, but I think it’s the secret to success.
Once I cleaned the pit, I inserted the toothpicks about three centimeters into the seed. The toothpicks should be about halfway up the seed so that when the seed is resting on your vase it is halfway in water. Then I filled the vase with water and settled my pit at its rim so that half of the pit is covered in water.
Since settling my avocado seed, I have kept the vase filled to the rim at all times. I haven’t changed the water. I started my avocado plant three months ago, and this is how it looks today.

Interesting Facts about Plants
Plants dominate not only the land but also the lives of every animal that walks on it; without them no animals would be able to live on dry land including humans. We depend on them to generate oxygen, provide shade, produce food, and help us create important materials. There is no end to how helpful plants are or the interesting facts about them.
Did You Know?
- There are more than 80,000 different species of edible plant on the Earth but people only grow and eat about 30 different kinds.
- We wouldn’t have vanilla flavoring if not for the pod of an orchid called Vanilla Planifolia, often referred to as vanilla beans despite being related to corn.
- Every part of the Mediterranean flowering shrub, oleander, is poisonous. If you ingest it will cause cardiac, intestinal, and central nervous problems if not death.
- Roses are part of the same family as strawberries, apples, pears, peaches, apricots, quinces.
It can be surprising what plant species are related to each other. Have students pick a plant, then have each of them research what that plant is related to. When their done have students report their findings to the class to show how plants are closely connected.

So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. I Corinthians 3:7
I know this verse is not referring to literal gardening, but it is pertinent nonetheless, is it not? How can I look upon this gorgeous greenery and not be reminded of that (in every possible context)?
I love the green that’s all around right now, and it’s just amazing to watch a garden grow.
From left: beans, tomatoes, sunflowers
Overall, I am thrilled with how well our garden has done/is doing this year. That hay mulch we put down has worked wonderfully, significantly reducing our weeding time. In fact, there are NO weeds in the areas where it was applied thickly enough. In thinner areas and along the “seams” a few weeds are cropping up, but those are easily dealt with. Plus, as the hay decays it will enrich the soil. Win-win.
Close-up of the mulch in between rows, with nary a weed in sight. Hurrah!
Now, let me share a few trouble spots. Who can help me out here?
In the spring, it looked like we were going to have a bumper crop of blackberries—LOTS of blossoms, LOTS of forming berries. Now, the “harvest” is a measly couple of tiny berries on dry canes with shriveling, browning leaves.
See what I mean?
My first thought was lack of rain, as we have had to water the garden plenty this summer but have not watered the blackberries since they were well-established. However, the new-growth canes look vibrant, green, and not at all thirsty.
See? Healthy new growth.
Hmm, mystery. Looks like we’ll be fighting mosquitoes this year and collecting our berries at the edge of the woods instead—assuming those have grown well.
As for my kohlrabi, most of it looks like the ones you see on the right side of the picture, which aren’t bulbing up at all. A handful look as they should–nice and rotund. I planted these all from seed and in our raised beds, which have excellent “soil” (a mixture of peat, vermiculite and compost.) I have thinned (and the chickens love me!). I have watered. What haven’t I done? (I’ll admit I have not yet googled.) I have never grown kohlrabi before, so it’s trial and error this year.
Okay, master gardeners, tell me what you think.


North Korea Project Responding in Mercy at Christmas by Rev. Patrick O’Neal, LCMS World Mission
The month of December brings a time of rest for farmers who have completed their fall harvesting. The bounty of the fields is safely stored in grain bins and elevators. Snow can cover the ground and there is no thought that there won’t be enough food for the next year.
But in North Korea, as snow blankets the rugged terrain, there is always a question of having enough food. Even after a good harvest is gathered in the fall, that harvest may slowly dwindle in the coming months because the farmers in North Korea store the harvest in rice-straw silos. Up to 50 percent of the grain is lost due to mold, rot, and rodents. While we are celebrating the Christmas season, with abundant food at every gathering, in North Korea the people wonder if there will be enough.
As we give and receive gifts at Christmas, we are reminded of the gift that was given on the first Christmas – the baby Jesus, born to be our Savior, and born to make us His people. His love leads us to acts of mercy. One way to respond in mercy this Christmas season is to share some of the blessings you have received to help the farmers in North Korea. Help them preserve their harvest by funding grain bins like those used here in Missouri. Congregation members can work together to raise the needed funds. For only $150 each, 20 donors can provide one 10 ton grain bin.
Another way to respond in mercy to needs in North Korea is to provide warm winter coats for the children who live on the four farms where the LCMS is working. Approximately 5,000 children need these winter coats. A new coat can be purchased and sent to these children for just $13. Funds collected for this project will be used for the winter of 2011-12.
This Christmas season, prayerfully consider how you and your congregation can respond in mercy through your support of the work in North Korea. Make checks payable to "The Missouri District" with North Korea Grain Bins or North Korea Coats on the memo line and send to:
The Missouri District in convention agreed to support LCMS World Mission in its work in North Korea.
At convention, we learned:
22.5 million people live in North Korea, but less than 2 percent are Christian.*
40 percent of the population* is underdeveloped.
Reports indicate another famine may be developing.
Many people need basic necessities.
Agricultural productivity is low.
The LCMS has the opportunity to work in a humanitarian aid and agricultural development project on four farms and their villages south of the capital of Pyongyang. There are 6,178 acres under cultivation with 7,000 farm laborers out of a total population of 15,000. LCMS World Mission has entered a joint venture of local workers and outside assistance with goals of self-sustainable community development, food security, and turning the farms into model self sufficient agricultural communities.
The joint venture farms have proven successful so far. Their yields have increased six times, income levels have risen two to five times, and after three years, the farmers did not need outside food assistance (but were in need again a year later following devastating floods). The farms are still not self-sustaining without outside input like seed, fertilizer, and equipment. LCMS World Mission and the Missouri District are involved to help meet the needs of people in North Korea, to demonstrate the love of Christ in "deed,” to gain a positive image as Lutheran Christians among the people in North Korea, and to develop long-term relationships for future work.
If you, your Bible study group, Sunday school class, other group or congregation are ready to make a financial contribution to the North Korean Outreach, make a check out to the Missouri District, with North Korea in the memo line, and send to "N. Korea Mission" The Missouri District, 660 Mason Ridge Center Drive, Suite 100, St. Louis MO, 63141. Congregations may include with monthly distributions.
Together we can have a significant impact in the lives of the people living in North Korea.
