Organic vs. Sustainable

Organic has an image problem. As some consumers fear they are, quite literally, priced out of the farmers market, it’s time to stir up more debate about organic as a set of principals, not as a status symbol.

Monty Don, the president of the UK’s Soil Association, said in an interview in The Guardian newspaper recently that the term organic has become off-putting for many people.

Organic food is seen to be “for wealthy, middle class people indulging in their penchant for peasant food”, he said, arguing that the term ‘sustainable’ could be better since it encompasses the same values but isn’t quite as scary.

Organic Produce Will Soon Be Cheaper Than Conventional Produce

A study suggests that the rising price of oil could soon make cereal crops grown with chemical fertilizers more expensive than those produced more naturally.

Industrial farming relies on fertilizers made from fossil fuels. These fertilizes are used to replace nutrients in the soil. Organic farming, however, improves soil fertility through crop rotations, and is therefore less affected by oil prices.

With oil predicted to reach $200 a barrel within five to 10 years, the profit margin on organic wheat, barley and oil seed rape could soon be significantly higher than for the same crops produced by non-organic methods.

If there ever was a silver lining to an otherwise unfortunate financial situation, this might be it.

Mark Bittman - four homemade vegetable stocks

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 17:57:48 GMT

Clip Source: query.nytimes.com

Canned vegetable stocks sold in stores, with just a couple of exceptions, are beyond disappointing. In fact, they are either insipid and overpriced or awful and overpriced. In general, they range from two to three dollars a quart and, since I'd estimate that you can make a quart of the Easy and Fast Vegetable Stock here for about 30 cents -- perhaps twice that, if you use organic vegetables -- you might as well give it a shot. And you probably have all the ingredients you need on hand already.

Here are three levels of straightforward vegetable stock, varying in preparation time and complexity, as well as in the outcome.

You can keep it in the refrigerator as long as you bring it to a boil every second or third day; that will keep it from spoiling, more or less indefinitely. Freezing, of course, is more efficient. If you want to save space, boil the stock down to about half its original volume, and you have concentrate. Just remember to add water when you cook with it.

BEIJING (AP) -- While China grapples with its latest tainted food crisis, the political elite are served the choicest, safest delicacies. They get hormone-free beef from the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, organic tea from the foothills of Tibet and rice watered by melted mountain snow.

The State Council Central Government Offices Special Food Supply Center is specifically designed to avoid the problems troubling the general population.

Foods must be organic, not genetically modified and meet international food standards, said a manager in the center's product department, who only gave her surname, Zhang.

Set up in 2004, China's Special Food Supply Center

Goods deemed to meet the highest standards are stamped with the label ''Nation A,'' which stands for ''top end, irreplaceable, the best,'' according to the Web site. Those products are for senior politicians or government offices and not released to the general consumer market, said a customer service agent surnamed Dong.

Food & Pop Culture Pairing: Harvey Milk, Feature Film'd

we thought we'd post something far more Politically Hopeful about Milk: Harvey Milk, to be exact. He was the first openly gay person "in the history of the universe" to hold elected office in America. Gus Van Sant is directing a new biopic, and Sean Penn is playing the Milkman in an upcoming Focus Features movie. Though we all know the film has a tragic ending, it looks excellent...

Seven Deadly Myths of Industrial Agriculture

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:33:58 GMT

clipped by: infopunk
clipper's remarks: Fatal Harvest is the basis for the Organic & Beyond campaign, which seeks to reestablish our relationship with nature, the farmer, and the land. The campaign helps us to stop being mere food "consumers" and teaches us to be "creators," and truly see and understand that each action we take in deciding which foods to buy, grow, or eat creates a very different future for ourselves and the earth. Please join us in this unprecedented campaign and become a creator of a new food future. (via http://www.fatalharvest.org/)

Fatal Harvest is a book that will forever change the way we think about food. This book will inform and influence the growing public movement of activists, farmers, policymakers, and consumers who are fighting to make our food safer for ourselves and for the planet.

Myth One: Industrial Agriculture Will Feed the World

Myth Two: Industrial Food is Safe, Healthy, Nutritious

Myth Three: Industrial Food is Cheap

Myth Four: Industrial Agriculture is Efficient

Myth Five: Industrial Food Offers More Choice

Myth Six: Industrial Agriculture Benefits the Environment and Wildlife

Myth Seven: Biotechnology Will Solve the Problems of Industrial Agriculture

Clip Source: www.fatalharvest.org

The Organic & Beyond campaign seeks to maintain strong organic standards and to promote agriculture that is

local,
small-scale and family operated,
biologically diverse,
humane, and
socially just.

The ultimate goal of this campaign is to replace the industrial agriculture model with a new vision of farming and the natural world.

Playing safe in the East Side

In another high-impact project, clinic students worked with an East Side group called Fruit Belt United to rehabilitate a dilapidated children’s playground. Bringing together partners including Home Depot, the City of Buffalo, and KaBOOM!, a national playground technical assistance and funding initiative, the clinic helped to create a safe play space for neighborhood children who would otherwise have no place to play within walking distance. The next steps with the East Side group may include opening an after-school community center.

Growing green

The Community Economic Development Clinic has worked with the Massachusetts Avenue Project’s Growing Green Program. Growing Green is an urban, organic agricultural training program that develops life-skills and provides meaningful work to low-income, at-risk youth. Growing Green develops models for community revitalization through sustainable urban agriculture, youth entrepreneurship, and food systems development.
