Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News
Climate change and agriculture: biodiverse ecological farming is the answer, not genetic engineering
Common Dreams - 2/23/2011.By Vandana Shiva – Industrial globalized agriculture is heavily implicated in climate change. It contributes to the three major greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2) from the use of fossil fuels, nitrogen oxide (N2O) from the use of chemical fertilizers and methane (CH4) from factory farming. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC), atmospheric concentration of CO2 has increased from a pre–industrial concentration of about 280 parts per million to 379 parts per million in 2005.
LePage dismisses BPA dangers; ‘worst case is some women may have little beards’
Bangor Daily News - 2/23/2011.By Kevin Miller – AUGUSTA, Maine — The political debate over bisphenol A is heating up in Maine after Gov. Paul LePage’s recent comments questioning whether the controversial chemical is as dangerous as many scientists claim. And LePage’s unusual quip about some women growing “little beards” from exposure to BPA likely will add another wrinkle to an issue on track to be one of the most contentious of the legislative session.
Oceans’ large predator fish are sinking fast
Portland Press Herald - 2/22/2011.Washington Post – Over the past 100 years, some two-thirds of the large predator fish in the ocean have been caught and consumed by humans, and in the decades ahead, the rest are likely to perish, too. In their place, small fish such as sardines and anchovies are flourishing in the absence of the tuna, grouper and cod that traditionally feed on them, creating an ecological imbalance that experts say will forever change the oceans.
Eat less, government advises
Bangor Daily News - 2/21/2011.Editorial – The U.S. government has been putting out dietary guidelines since 1980, telling us to eat less fatty and fried foods and more fruit, vegetables, beans, nuts and fish. But only this year did it start with warnings about obesity and advice to reduce total food intake.
