How to make a decorative, and completely edible, apple swan! I made a few modifications to the original idea, to get the effect you see here.

More than a billion people eat fewer than 1,900 calories per day. The majority of them work in agriculture, about 60 percent are women or girls, and most are in rural Africa and Asia. Ending their hunger is one of the few unimpeachably noble tasks left to humanity, and we live in a rare time when there is the knowledge and political will to do so. The question is, how? Conventional wisdom suggests that if people are hungry, there must be a shortage of food, and all we need do is figure out how to grow more. [...] The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, with an endowment of more than $30 billion, has embarked on a multibillion-dollar effort to transform African agriculture. It helped to set up the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) in 2006, and since then has spent $1.3 billion on agricultural development grants, largely in Africa. With such resources, solving African hunger could be Gates's greatest legacy. But there's a problem: the conventional wisdom is wrong. F...

Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko (NDP) has reintroduced his Private Members Bill (C-343) to ban the release, sale, importation and use of Terminator technology. What is Terminator? Terminator Technology genetically engineers plants to produce sterile seeds at harvest. It was developed by the multinational seed/agrochemical industry and the US government to prevent farmers from re-planting harvested seed and force farmers to buy seed each season instead. Terminator seeds have not yet been field-tested or commercialized. In 2006, Monsanto bought the company (Delta & Pine Land) that owned Terminator. Terminator is sometimes called Genetic Use Restriction Technology (GURTs) - the broad term that refers to the use of an external chemical inducer to control the expression of a plant's genetic traits. Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko (NDP) has reintroduced his Private Members Bill (C-343) to ban the release, sale, importation and use of Terminator technology. Actions you can ...

This is an interesting article, especially for me, with my interest in indigenous precolumbian agriculture in the Americas. Three thousand eight hundred years ago, long before U.S. plains rippled with vast rows of corn, Native Americans planted farms with hardy "pioneer" crops, according to new evidence of the first farming in eastern North America. Because the area appears to have been well stocked with wild food sources, the discovery may rewrite some beliefs about what led people to start farming on the continent, scientists say. Rather than turning to farming as a matter of survival, the so-called Riverton people may have been exercising "free will" and engaging in a bit of gastronomic innovation, archaeologists say. This does not surprise me in the least. We always assume 'prehistoric' peoples started farming because they had to, as a survival technique, but we don't ever stop to think that they might be just like us, inventing new things simply be...

At least when you're talking about these . I am convinced we are seeing end times when slapping peanut butter on bread is too much work for us. And I thought Bagelfuls , precooked eggs and Lunchables were bad.

March 2, 2009 - Impatient for spring and inspired by Mother Earth News , I planted three kinds of lettuce (obtained at Seedy Saturday ). Green oak , red deer tongue , and mystery lettuce (from the seed exchange). March 21, 2009 - Off to a respectable start: The first to germinate was the mystery lettuce, followed by the oak leaf. Red deer tongue still hasn't germinated. Bad seeds? Wrong germination temperature? Once the first round germinated, I sprinkled more seeds randomly. Today: They are such beautiful babies! p.s. Can you imagine only having spring once every 30 years ?

Celebrity cooking is HOT and, lately, so is the Great Depression . 93 year old Clara reminisces about the Depression while showcasing cheap, nourishing food. I love this online cooking show. Maybe it's because I'm a big fan of history, food, frugality, and stories. Here she makes "Poorman's meal" which is potatoes with hotdogs (her grandkids love it, she says). Clara, peeling potatoes, explains she had to drop out of high school because she couldn't afford socks. And here's episode 1 where she makes pasta with peas. Enjoy!

Here's an article by Wayne Roberts of the Toronto Food Policy Council , quoted in full because I don't know how to link to it on Facebook. SHARING WORK AND FOOD CREATES AN UPSIDE TO THE ECONOMIC DOWN BY Wayne Roberts Unlike most people, Thomas Homer-Dixon doesn't think today's world economic crisis is very complicated. He thinks it's very complex, which makes for a world of difference in understanding which government anti-recession programs will fail (most of them) and deciding which ones can help. Homer-Dixon, who chairs a centre for global systems analysis at the University of Waterloo, is one of the world’s leading thinkers in the field of “complexity theory,” and the author of several international bestsellers, including The Ingenuity Gap and The Upside of Down. He brings a missing dimension to thinking about remedies to the looming economic collapse that that’s so far been excluded from public and media debate. “If ever there was a case of experts not knowin...

جورجیا اور روس کی فوجوں میں علیحدگی اختیار کرنے والے صوبے جنوبی اوسیٹیا پر شدید لڑائی کے دوران جورجیا کے حکام نے اعلان کیا ہے کہ وہ جنوبی اوسیٹیا سے اپنی فوجیوں واپس بلا رہا ہے۔ اس اثناء روس کے جنگی بحری جہازوں نے بحیرہ اسود کے ساحل پر جورجیا کی بندرگاہوں کا محاصرہ کر لیا ہے جہاں سے گندم اور تیل کی درآمدات کو روکا جا رہا ہے۔ روس نے اس بات سے انکار کیا ہے کہ وہ تیل کی ترسیل میں خلل ڈالنا چاہتے ہیں تاہم انہوں نے کہا کہ وہ اس بات کا اختیار رکھتے ہیں کہ کسی بھی جہاز کو روک کر اس کی تلاشی لیں۔ یوکرین نے دھمکی دی ہے کہ وہ روس کے جنگی جہازوں کو سیواستوپول کی بندگارہ میں نہیں آنے نہیں دیں گے۔ بحریہ اسود میں یہ بندگارہ یوکرین اور روس کی فوجیوں مشترکہ طور پر استعمال کرتی ہیں۔جورجیا کے ایک اعلی اہلکار شوتا اوتیشاولی نے کہا ہے کہ جنوبی اوسیٹیا کا مرکزی شہر شیخنوالی اب مکمل طور پر روسی فوجوں کے قبضے میں ہے۔ جورجیا نے اس بات کی تردید کی ہے کہ اسے فوجی شکست کا سامنا ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ جنوبی اوسیٹیا سے شہری اور فوجی جانی نقصان سے بچنے کے لیے نکالا گیا ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ جورجیا کو اب بڑے انسانی بحرا...
