Have you ever wondered how much coffee from the farm actually ends up in your cup in the morning? From the biomass harvested at the farm in Colombia or Zimbabwe, only 0.2 percent is ingested, the rest is simply left to rot. The Chinese scientist Shuting Chang demonstrated in his lab in Hong Kong that coffee serves as an ideal substrate for farming tropical mushrooms like shiitake or ganoderma. But coffee waste is not only an ideal substrate: it generates jobs, income and food security. Chido Govero, an orphan from Zimbabwe, set up her own business of mushroom farming on coffee waste, and thus generates food and job security in Africa. In 2009 a couple of graduates from Berkeley University started a business collecting the coffee waste from the coffee shops to grow mushrooms in the inner city, providing competitive and high quality food while generating jobs. Where ever in the world people farm or drink coffee, in the city or countryside, waste can be converted to protein. Visit us at http://www.blueeconomy.de

Welcome to Strainrite Fencing Systems - Serious About Fencing! New Zealand based manufacturer & supplier of high quality fencing tools and Electric Fencing equipment for over 35 years. Whether you're a novice fencer or a seasoned fencing contractor, our Strainrite online video tutorials are bound to have something for you. Visit www.strainrite.co.nz or www.nzfenceusa.com for more info! Tool Name: XT1 Ratchet Strainer Strainrite model/Part number: FST00160 (Box of 25) Key features * 11 tooth spool for finer control of wire tension * Frame with locking notch for improved performance and strainer integrity. * Two plane ramp for guidance of wire onto spool. Possibly the most versatile wire strainer on the market to date, The Strainrite XT1 Ratchet Strainer packs an arsenal of new design features, not to mention an attractive new look to help distinguish it from its predecessors. Here is a complete overview of these features and their benefits. Frame With Spring Locking Notch A recess in the frame of the XT1 houses a portion of the spring to prevent the spool from rotating in a particular direction when the wire strainer is under tension. As the teeth of the spool push against the spring, it remains locked to the frame. This provides rigidity to the wire strainer by preventing the spring and spool from disengaging from the frame. The locking notch also acts as a locking mechanism which secures the frame together when the strainer is used inline, without the wire tied to the frame. STRENGTHENING RIBS ON FRAME The "Y" shaped Strengthening Ribs on the Frame of the XT1 Ratchet provides rigidity to the frame when under tension. The shape allows for a continuous rib, whilst also allowing clearance for the wire spring clip 11 TOOTH SPOOL Similar Permanent Wire Strainers currently on the market only have 10 teeth. 11 teeth provide for finer tension adjustment for achieving recommended wire tensions LUG MECHANISM Another unique feature of the XT1 strainer is its lug mechanism. The lug provides a mechanism to utilize the strainer in an inline option without cutting the wire and threading it through the frame and spool. TWO PLANE GUIDANCE RAMP The addition of a lug with a two plane guide ramp on the spool provides a mechanism to effectively deflect the wire from riding up over the lug feature so that the wire is spread across the spool evenly (A single plane ramp as seen on other strainers does not provide a consistently effective means to deflect the wire). Like the other traditional Strainrite Permanent Wire Strainers, the XT1 Ratchet also has the oval hole in the spool to allow either one or two wires to be held side by side, correctly ori-entated to the spool axis. Retains optimum cross sectional area without compromising the axle strength.

HEALTH CRISIS:Monsanto GM Foods The Next EPIDEMIC for AMERICA ? Genetically modified foods such as soy and corn may be responsible for a number of gluten-related maladies including intestinal disorders now plaguing 18 million Americans, according to a new report released on Tuesday. The report was released by the Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT), and cites authoritative data from the US Department of Agriculture, US Environmental Protection Agency records, medical journal reviews as well as international research. "Gluten sensitivity can range in severity from mild discomfort, such as gas and bloating, to celiac disease, a serious autoimmune condition that can, if undiagnosed, result in a 4-fold increase in death," said Jeffrey M. Smith, executive director of IRT in a statement released on their website. Smith cited how a "possible environmental trigger may be the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to the American food supply, which occurred in the mid-1990s," describing the nine GM crops currently on the market. In soy, corn, cotton (oil), canola (oil), sugar from sugar beets, zucchini, yellow squash, Hawaiian papaya, and alfalfa, "Bt-toxin, glyphosate, and other components of GMOs, are linked to five conditions that may either initiate or exacerbate gluten-related disorders," according to Smith. It's the BT-toxin in genetically modified foods which kills insects by "puncturing holes in their cells." The toxin is present in 'every kernel' of Bt-corn and survives human digestion, with a 2012 study confirming that it punctures holes in human cells as well. The GMO-related damage was linked to five different areas: Intestinal permeability, imbalanced gut bacteria, immune activation and allergic response, impaired digestion, and damage to the intestinal wall. The IRT release also indicated that glyphosate, a weed killer sold under the brand name 'Roundup' was also found to have a negative effect on intestinal bacteria. GMO crops contain high levels of the toxin at harvest. "Even with minimal exposure, glyphosate can significantly reduce the population of beneficial gut bacteria and promote the overgrowth of harmful strains," the report found. Dr. Tom O'Bryan, internationally recognized expert on gluten sensitivity and Celiac Disease, says that "the introduction of GMOs is highly suspect as a candidate to explain the rapid rise in gluten-related disorders over the last 17 years." Internist, Emily Linder, offered some backup for the report's findings. She removed GMO from her patients' diets, finding that recovery from intestinal diseases was faster and more complete. "I believe that GMOs in our diet contribute to the rise in gluten-sensitivity in the US population," Linder said in the release. tags:monsanto protest movement consumer consuming organism giant "gmo food" march global continent protection media news concern food health fertility activist "social media" globalist countries u.s.

Part 2. (See sample letter at bottom or Send an Instant email: www.cban.ca/corn) Filmmaker Marie-Monique Robin discussed her recent film 'The World According to Monsanto' in which she exposes many of Monsanto's controversial practices, from concealing knowledge of toxicity of PCBs to producing genetically modified seeds and related herbicides. Monsanto has a long history of manufacturing dangerous products. In 1949, an explosion in Nitro, a Monsanto factory in the US, caused 228 workers to develop an extremely disfiguring illness caused by dioxin, a highly toxic by-product of 2,4,5-T, a powerful herbicide manufactured in the factory. Monsanto's product Roundup, an herbicide which Monsanto advertised as biodegradable, is still sprayed on crops by unprotected farmers in Paraguay even though Monsanto has already been convicted twice of false advertising for the product. Robin also denounces Monsanto for not only denying that it ever heard of Agent Orange, a herbicide sprayed by the US Army on crops during the Vietnam war and which Monsanto had in fact manufactured, but also for manipulating scientific studies to hide links between Agent Orange and cancer. According to Robin, Monsanto has bought fifty seed companies in the last ten years. In a clip from Robin's film, physicist and ecologist Dr. Vandana Shiva warns: "Once [Monsanto has] established the norm that seed can be owned as their property, we will depend on them. If they control seed they control food. It's more powerful than bombs. This is the best way to control the populations of the world." Sample Letter: Hon. Leona Aglukkaq, Minister of Health [email protected] House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Dear Minister Aglukkaq, I am writing to demand that Health Canada protect me and my family from untested genetically engineered 'SmartStax' com. It is unacceptable that Health Canada did not assess this GE food for health safety. This 'SmartStax' corn, with its combination of eight GE traits, was not examinied or approved by Health Canada but was authorized by Danadian Food Inspection Agency anyway.'SmartStax' was allowed to fly under the radar of Health Canada and shows me that our government's regulations of GE foods are too weak to protect me and my fellow Canadians. I demand that Health Canada stop the introduction of 'SmartStax' and that the federal government start an immediate review of all regulations for GE foods and crops.Thank you for your attention to this urgent and serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, CC Hon. Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agricluture and Agri-Food [email protected]; Carol Swan, President, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, [email protected]; Judy Wasylycia-Leis, NDP Health Critic, [email protected]; Hon. Carolyn Bennett, Liberal Party Health Critic, [email protected]; Luc Malo, Bloc Quebecois Health Critis, [email protected]

Temperature, carbon output, water usage—that's all data that a farmer could use to get better crops. And it's also available, via satellite, to the average smart phone. In this World Economic Forum discussion, Wim Bastiaanssen, a water resource engineer at Delft University, argues that this tech could someday feed the world.
