Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Green ribbons at an organic fair
New York Times - 9/27/2012.

By Anne Raver – Organic food may not be feeding the world yet, but it was feeding thousands of people at the Common Ground Country Fair last weekend. The 36th Common Ground Country Fair organized by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association drew 59,000 people this year. And it netted $300,000 in ticket sales and booth fees, which pays for training programs for new farmers, workshops and operating expenses.

50 years after ‘Silent Spring’ we have ignored Rachel Carson’s findings to our peril
Washington Spectator - 9/27/2012.

By Joseph J. Mangano and Janette D. Sherman – Fifty years ago, a Johns Hopkins–educated zoologist did something that few at the time thought was possible. With the publication of one book, she started a national debate about the universally accepted use of synthetic pesticides, the irresponsibility of science, and the limits of technological promise.

New fruit fly attacks Maine crops
Lewiston Sun Journal - 9/26/2012.

By Kathryn Skelton – It's the bug to watch: Less than one-sixteenth of an inch long, the ladies fly around with serrated saws, the men with dots on their wings. Last September the state caught the Spotted Wing Drosophila here for the first time, by the half-dozens. This summer, less than a year later, Monmouth traps bagged up to 3,000 a week.

Documentary about Maine farm families’ struggles to be shown across the state
Bangor Daily News - 9/26/2012. Camden – “Betting The Farm,” a documentary film by Cecily Pingree and Jason Mann, follows three farm families as they risk everything to launch their new milk company – Maine’s Own Organic Milk. The film will kick off the 8th annual Camden International Film Festival with a screening 7 p.m. Thursday at the historic Camden Opera House.
