    This is another direct access site for finding farms and markets in your area. I like that they also designate which farms you can buy products from online.

    This paper addresses anaerobic digesters (ADs) installations on livestock farms to use animal manure as a biomass resource for both economic value and environmental benefit. Capturing biogas created naturally from animal waste before it escapes to do harm to the environment and using the gas as a fuel to produce electric power. Either to be used to power the farm itself or integrated into the local electric grid.

  • ware of intensifying world challenges and the basic need of people to feed themselves, we have been working for 40 years to develop an elegant, small-scale agricultural system — GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Sustainable Mini-Farming — that when practiced correctly, nurtures healthy soil fertility, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone. Our goal is to help this system be known and used locally...on a worldwide basis.
  • ohn Jeavons spoke at Google in Mountain View on April 12, 2012 about his four decades pioneering biointensive farming and what we can do for food security in the future.

    John Jeavons has been doing this work for over 30 years. I studied with him In Northern California. I found it fascinating that he spoke at Google in Cali recently. Even though his method is not technology intensive it is science based and is feeding the world in many ways.

  • nspired by the vision of Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing As If Food, Farms and Fertility Mattered, published in 2009, the Slow Money Alliance is bringing people together around a new conversation about money that is too fast, about finance that is disconnected from people and place, about how we can begin fixing our economy from the ground up... starting with food.
  • “Combine poisonous factory-farm tomatoes with disgraced investment banker Bernard Madoff. Throw in a stock market disaster. You get a public spooked by the dangers of industrial food production and investors wary of risky business. This may be the recipe for a Slow Money revolution.” – David Gutnick, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

    global agriculture and food systems hold large differences between, on the one hand, industrialized farming and consumption based on global food chains and, on the other, smallholder farmers and resource poor people primarily linked in local food markets in low-income countries.

    Agriculture faces huge challenges in the near future. Farmers have to keep up with population growth and the need to deliver food at more competitive prices. This will all need to be achieved in a sustainable way.

    This is a 9 minute talk about the waste involved in plastics, particularly disposable shipping Styrofoam. The solution the presenter is showing is the ability to use local bio-waste (like farming by-products, rice husks, etc.) and growing your styrofoam blocks.
