Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Environmental Community Outraged by Governor’s Proposal
Maine Environmental Priorities Coalition - 1/24/2011.Members of the Environmental Priorities Coalition, a coalition of twenty-four environmental, conservation and public health organizations representing over 100,000 collective members statewide, blasted Governor LePage’s proposal to weaken a wide range of protections for Maine’s clean air, clean water, public health and natural heritage. Many of the Governor’s recommendations weaken decades of successful legislation that passed in the state legislature with bi-partisan support.

Resource revolts: the year of living dangerously
Common Dreams - 1/24/2011.By Michael T. Klare – Get ready for a rocky year. From now on, rising prices, powerful storms, severe droughts and floods, and other unexpected events are likely to play havoc with the fabric of global society, producing chaos and political unrest. Start with a simple fact: the prices of basic food staples are already approaching or exceeding their 2008 peaks, that year when deadly riots erupted in dozens of countries around the world.

With food-system reform slowed to a crawl, local initiatives come to fore
Grist - 1/24/2011.

By Tom Philpott – I think we have seen the scope of the Obama administration's commitment to food-policy reform: things that don't cost real money or challenge the structure of the food industry. I'm thinking of the USDA's Know Your Farmer initiative, which doesn't bring new money to the table, but rather packages existing outlays in a way that supports sustainable agriculture.

A new way of looking at school lunches is bringing professional chefs into the mix
Boston Globe - 1/22/2011.

By Kathy McCabe – Lawrence, Mass.: Stirring 15 pounds of Red Bliss potatoes and six pounds of instant mashed potatoes in a 50-gallon steel kettle requires a paddle big enough for a canoe. Toss in six pounds of canned yams, a few gallons of low-fat milk, a pound of margarine, salt, pepper, and onion to taste. Top with fresh sliced pears, apples, and cinnamon – and voila! It’s Chef Kirk’s Sweet Potato Puree for 2,600.
