164. The Catalyst - Permaculture Article describes the permaculture philosophy, outlines its history, and discusses prospects for its future. From Catalyst, a student magazine at Brown University. http://www.brown.edu/Students/Catalyst/pre2001/archive/spring99/pm.html

text more text One group of these individuals has developed a method of self-sustained living known as permaculture . Unlike many other methods of alternative agriculture, permaculture is not simply a method of food production. It is a complete lifestyle with its own overarching set of beliefs that can be applied to every aspect of one’s life. The term "permaculture" was coined in the late 1970s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, authors of the first permaculture manual . These philosophers of science believe that "when we left tribal life, we left with it all guides to sensible behavior in the natural world." They believe that we, as a human race, have forgotten how to "evolve self-regulating systems" and that the widespread destruction caused by our current system of agriculture is clear evidence of this. Mollison and Holmgren sought to design a method through which humans might again live within self-regulating natural systems. These men were not modern "Luddites" who desired to reject all of modern science’s technological advances and return to primitive methods of production. On the contrary, they envisioned a lifestyle in which humans would utilize all of this new scientific understanding and their own commonsense to create small systems of food production which would simulate natural ecosystems and be individually tailored to suit the situation of each household. In this type of system the primary concerns would not be mass production and economics but "people care" and "earth care." Because successful permaculture requires great inputs of knowledge of natural systems, creativity, and expertise in a number of different areas, the ideal of "people care" encourages individuals to share both their crop yield and their knowledge and talents. "People care" also encompasses the ideal that, just as an individual should care for the earth, the earth should care and provide for that individual. Each permaculture system is thus developed and personally tailored to suit the needs and desires of the individuals for which it provides.

Next A Report on Genetically Engineered Crops Revised April 2003 Charles M. Rader This report is about two closely related subjects. One subject is the considerations for and against genetic engineering of our food. This part of the report will quickly reveal my personal bias in favor of engineering, but I have tried to fairly represent the problems as well as the benefits. The other topic is more important. Genetic engineering gets to the very core of how life works and people are inclined to have very strong feelings about it. Because the public knows so very little about science, some opponents of transgenic agriculture have been able to spread misinformation and manipulate public opinion. As Donna Shalala told a group of scientists, speaking about genetic engineering, ``My concern is if we don't have a broadly educated public ... that charlatans out there will be able to play on public fears.'' Exactly that has happened. Almost everything the general public has been told about genetic engineering of food has originated in the deceptive presentations by skilled propagandists.

170. Sebring Florida Agriculture A description of agricultural activities in the Sebring and Highlands County areas. Includes information on citrus fruit orchards, beef cattle and dairy cattle farming. http://www.sebringflchamber.com/Agriculture.htm

The primary source of economic activity in Highlands County is agriculture. Within that category, most of the economic activity comes from citrus, cattle and dairy operations. Presently the third largest county in Florida for growing citrus, Highlands County is the fourth largest total citrus producer and the largest producer of the ever-popular Valencia orange in Florida. The recent growing season produced more than 26 million, 90-pound boxes of oranges, enough to produce nearly 40 million gallons of juice. The citrus industry employs between 2,500-3,000 people on a year-round full time basis; a number that nearly doubles during the harvesting season which begins in October and ends in May. Growers are constantly researching new ways to harvest fruit safely and efficiently that minimizes handling and enhances the product between the tree and consumer. Table grade citrus is taken to packing houses in the area for shipment to market. The rest of the fruit is taken to several juice processing plants in the area for ultimate distribution to a national and international market. Information from the State of Florida indicates that statewide production of citrus results in more than an $8 billion annual economic impact, and in Highlands County it is estimated that citrus accounts for more than $200 million in annual economic benefits to the area.

Drip Irrigation Solutions from Netafim USA EVENT CALENDAR CAREER OPPORTUNITIES CONTACT INFO COMPANY INFO ... Click here Netafim USA Irrigation Products Netafim was founded 35 years ago on the idea that micro-irrigation is a solution to one of the world's most urgent problems: lack of quality water for food production. That idea is still at the heart of all Netafim products, which are designed to promote water conservation and positively impact the environment. As farmland becomes more and more impacted by urban development, farmers are being asked to grow better crops on fewer acres using less water. That's exactly the type of solution Netafim offers. Not only do Netafim drip irrigation products conserve water, they control plant disease more effectively than wasteful spray irrigation, resulting in more efficient crop growth and more efficient application of fertilizers. That concern for efficiency is reflected in other ways, including the fact that Netafim products last 7 to 10 years, compared to just 1 to 2 years for other brands, resulting in less waste. Netafim has grown at an astounding rate over the past five years, expanding by about 90%. Netafim, which opened its new Fresno manufacturing facility in 1996, is currently undertaking a $1.2 million plant expansion. Netafim's growth will include installation of new state-of-the-art extrusion equipment and is just the first phase of a planned total investment of $3.4 million for future growth. That impressive track record of success can be traced directly to the quality of its world class products and their commitment to customer service. Netafim has expanded their team by 100% in the customer service and technical departments to maintain the highest level of service for their customers.
