This is an article from the Journal of Hunger and Environmental Nutrition. It speaks about the growing concerns that our world faces today regarding the industrial food system. These concerns are addressed by the European Union, comprised of 27 nations. There is a call for major changes in policy regulations and some of the changes needed are with product manufacturing and regulation. There is an urgent need for sustainable food systems and the EU is addressing these social, economic and health concerns on a global level. There are 4 parameters to consider here and those are the physical world, the physiological world, the social world, and the cognitive world.

“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

12 Features of Sustainable Community Development - 0 views

www.cardinalgroup.ca/...ip01.htm

shared by James Hannemann on 17 Apr 13 - No Cached

There is no universally acceptable definition of sustainable community development in large measure because each development site has its own characteristics that result in unique opportunities and constraints. For example, a 2,000 hectare greenfield site situated beside a lake clearly presents different opportunities than a 300 acre brownfield redevelopment in the industrial port land area of city. Likewise, an eco-village located fifty miles from an urban centre offers different opportunities for sustainable development than a major condominium development in the core of a city.

Hemp is such an amazing plant. From it an array of oils, plastics, paints and twine can be created ... of such strength Kentuckians were able to avoid WWII draft by staying home and growing hemp. The fiber of this plant is so strong, that the government was eager to have farmers plant and grow it (with government provided seeds) so that the best parachutes, laces and other materials could be made for soldiers and the war. "Breathing in 4x the carbon dioxide (CO2) of trees during it's quick 12-14 week growing cycle. Trees take 20 years to mature vs 4 months for Industrial Hemp" So why are we still clearing forests and avoiding the CO2 sync of this marvelous resource???
