"Learning to Loath GMOs": A Critical Response to the New York Times   Richard Gale and Gary Null PhD Progressive Radio Network, July 27, 2021   In its July 19th issue, the New York Times Magazine published a brilliant piece of twisted pseudo-scientific propaganda. The essay, entitled “Learning to Love GMOs,” is truly stunning. Its author, journalist Jennifer Kahn, takes readers who would have little to no understanding of genetic engineering and genetically modified organisms (GMO) through a fictional labyrinth of out-dated and conflated GMO similitudes to an end point where readers might believe GMOs are really cool and there is nothing to be frantically worried about.    Kahn spins the story of Cathie Martin's research to develop a genetically engineered purple tomato high in the anti-oxidant anthocyacin as the work of a solo humanitarian to improve consumers' health by providing nutrient-rich GMO produce. What is missing from Kahn's equation is that the research was conducted at one of the world's oldest and most prestigious independent centers for plant science, the Johns Innes Centre (JIC) in the UK. The Centre, which is registered as a charity, lists over 500 employees and is funded by some of the largest proponents of genetic-modified plants, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. JIC's website includes purple tomatoes as one of its projects that combines “transcription factors, biosynthetic genes and iRNA [interference RNA] with the availability of natural tomato mutants.”  iRNA, or Post-Transcriptional Gene Slicing, is a method to silence certain genes the researchers desire to curtail their expression.     The Times article makes an effort to advance the flawed agro-chemical mantra of “substantial equivalence” without citing the term. The early acceptance of GMOs was largely based upon the unproven hypothesis of “substantial equivalence.” The USDA's adoption of this concept during Bill Clinton's first term in the White House gave GM seed companies a free pass to avoid submitting trial evidence to prove the environmental and health safety of genetically modified crops. Since the ruling claims that GMOs are fundamentally identical genetically to their natural counterparts, no compliance of safety regulations should necessarily apply. Therefore Big Ag firms did not have to worry over strict regulatory hurdles, which otherwise apply to other products such as pharmaceutical drugs, processed foods, pesticides, cosmetics and chemical additives.    However, during the past decade a flurry of research has shown that the “substantial equivalence” hypothesis is patently false. Alexandria University in Egypt, the Permaculture Research Institute and the Norwegian Center for Biosafety each found genetically modified crops to be fundamentally different. In addition, studies have confirmed that nutrient levels in traditional, organically raised grown crops are substantially higher than GM varieties. New technological methods to create concise profiles of a food's molecular composition, notably “omics,” were not available in the early 1990s when Clinton wore the mantle as America's first biotech president. Omic technology destroyed the Big Ag's industry's arguments to support the lie about substantial equivalence. For example, Kings College London published a study in Scientific Reports of Nature revealing unquestionable genetic consequences between GMO Roundup and non-GMO corn. The differences include changes in 117 proteins and 91 metabolites.[1]   Despite “substantial equivalence” having been debunked, the erroneous hypothesis continues to linger in pro-GMO propaganda. However, in Kahn's recent essay, she attempts to shift attention away from the early generation of GMOs, which were engineered solely to sell more toxic pesticides, and emphasize GMO's potential for increasing nutritional health and to advance medicine. In order to add a bit of balance, Kahn quotes James Madison University professor Alan Levinovitz who accurately described one fundamental criticism, among many others, against GMOs. “With genetic engineering there's a feeling that we're mucking about with the essential building blocks of reality,” Levinovitz stated. “We may feel OK about rearranging genes, the way nature does, but we're not comfortable mixing them up between creatures.”     But most disturbing is Kahn's failure to make any mention o the trail of environmental disasters and disease risks due to consuming genetically modified foods. She completely whitewashes the matter; she prefers we may forget that Monsanto's soy and corn, which now represent the majority of these crops grown in the US, was developed solely to allow farmers to spray highly toxic pesticides without injuring the crops. These crops contain notable concentrations of the pesticides that then find their way into numerous consumer food products including baby foods. Nor should we forget that Round-Up grown foods may be destroying people's microbiome.  Last year, researchers at the University of Turku in Finland reported a “conservative estimate that approximately 54% of organisms in our microbiome are “potentially sensitive” to glyphosate. Despite her pro-GMO advocacy, if Kahn's conscience had led her to take a moral high road, she could have at least apologized on Monsanto's behalf for the trail of death and disease the company's glyphosate has left in its wake. The company has yet to atone despite losing three trials with $2.4 billion fines, repeated appeal losses, and being ordered to pay $10.5 billion in settlements. To date Monsanto's glyphosate poisoning has been identified with the suppression of essential gut enzymes and amino acid synthesis, gluten intolerance, disruption of manganese pathways, neurological disease, cancer, amyloidosis and autoimmune disease. Her New York Times article would have better served the improvement of public health as a warning rather than an applause to appease companies such as Bayer/Monsanto and Syngenta. And shame on the New York Times' editors for permitting such biased misinformation to find its way into print.    Kahn is eager to cite findings showing GMO benefits without indicating her sources. She tells us that environmental groups have “quietly walked back their opposition as evidence has mounted that GMOs are both safe to eat and not inherently bad for the environment.” Kahn doesn't mention who these groups might be. She reframes the Philippine story of the destruction of genetically engineered Golden Rice; yet around that time even the pro-industry magazine Forbes published an article questioning Golden Rice's viability and noting that its benefits are only based upon unfounded hypotheses. As for its risks to health, GM Watch in the UK points out the work conducted by David Schubert at the Salk Institute that the rice might potentially generate Vitamin A derivatives that could “damage human fetuses and cause birth defects.”   Kahn, who should be acknowledged as a highly respected science journalist and teaches journalism at the University of California's Berkeley campus, happens to be a contributing author for the Genetic Literacy Project (GLP) at the University of California at Davis, a public relations operation sponsored by the agro-chemical industry.  Monsanto/Bayer, Syngenta and DuPont are among GLP's industry partners.  It is one of the most frequently quoted sources of cherry-picked information by pro-GMO advocates and journalists. In our opinion, it is perhaps one of the most financially compromised and scientifically illiterate organizations, founded and funded to disseminate pro-GMO propaganda in order to prop up public support for GMOs and genetic engineering in general. In effect, some universities now act as private industry's lobbyists. This becomes a greater scandal when the university is a public institution receiving public funding.  GLP and its east coast partner, Cornell University's Alliance for Science, largely funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, serve as the GMO industry's clearing houses for public relations to spin science into advertising, propaganda and character assassination of GM opponents.   The Genetic Literacy Project is a key collaborator with another food industry front organization, the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH). ACSH has nothing to do with actual health science. It has been described by the independent corporate financial watchdog organization Sourcewatch as a thinly veiled corporate front that holds “a generally apologetic stance regarding virtually every other health and environmental hazard produced by modern industry, accepting corporate funding from Coca-Cola, Syngenta, Proctor Gamble, Kellogg, General Mills, Pepsico, and the American Beverage Association, among others.” ACSH also favors toxic pesticides, the use of biphenol A in products, cigarettes and hydrofracking.  It is closely aligned with pseudo-medical front organizations that criticize alternative and natural health modalities, such as Quackwatch and the Science Based Medicine network.    GLP sources a couple thousand corporate-friendly studies favoring GMO safety.  One review of over 1,700 studies, known as the Nicolia Review, for a time was the most cited source making the broadest claims for GMO safety.  However subsequent independent and unbiased reviews of Nicolia's analysis concluded that many of these studies were tangential at best and barely took notice of anything related to crop genetic engineering or GMOs. Many studies are completely irrelevant from a value-added perspective because they have nothing to do with GMO safety. Furthermore, other studies in Nicolia's collection conclude the exact opposite of their intention and give further credibility to GMOs environmental and animal and human health risks. When Nicolia published his review, he intentionally omitted and ignored scientifically sound research that directly investigated GMO safety and found convincing evidence to issue warnings.  For example, one peer-reviewed publication by over 300 independent scientists declared that there is no scientific consensus that GM crops and food are safe.  Not surprisingly, there is no mention of this study in the Nicolia Review.   It is no secret that Monsanto and Big Ag have significant influence over UC-Davis's agricultural department and divisions.  The bogus economic studies trumped up by the Big Ag cartel to defeat California's GMO labeling bill Prop 37 were performed at UC-Davis and then publicized through the GLP. Gary Ruskin, who has been filing Freedom of Information Act requests, has publicly expressed deep concerns that UC Davis is acting as a financial conduit for private corporations and interests to develop and launch PR attacks against academics, professors, activists and other institutions who oppose those same corporate interests.     For GMO opponents, the name Mark Lynas, may send shivers down the spine. As soon as any journalist or researcher mentions Lynas' name approvingly, one can be certain which camp the author represents.  You can be assured you will be reading words on dirty laundry washed in even dirtier water. Therefore when Kahn quotes Lynas as if he were an unbiased authority about GMOs, we know we have boarded the wrong train and will reach a destination of distorted scientific facts and self-righteous corporate praise.    The public watchdog group US Right to Know describes Lynas as “a former journalist turned promotional advocate for genetically engineered foods and pesticides who makes inaccurate claims about those products from his perch at the Gates Foundation-funded Cornell Alliance for Science (CAS).” Lynas has accused those who would inform the public about Round-Up's carcinogenic properties as conducting a “witch hunt” by “anti-Monsanto activists” who “abused science.”  Lynas has denied his role as a shill for Big Ag. However, a decade ago, The Guardian acquired a private memo from the pro-biotechnology organization EuropaBio about its initiative to recruit “ambassadors” to preach the GMO gospel. Mark Lynas was specifically named in the document alongside then UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as a prime candidate to pressure European agencies who were skeptical about GMO claims, promises and health and environmental risks. In short, Lynas has been one of Big Ag's most invaluable foot soldiers for over a dozen years.    Similar to the Genetic Literacy Project, the Cornell Alliance for Science does not conduct any agricultural research; yet its tentacles to attack GMO opponents are far reaching in the media. CAS was launched in 2014 after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation granted the alliance $5.6 million in start-up monies. The public relations Alliance makes the unfounded claim to represent “balanced” research about genetic engineered products.  One of its missions is to influence the next generation of agricultural scientists to embrace GMO science. For CAS, as for Bill Gates, GMOs are the only food solution for Africa's future. Five years ago, organic New York farmers mobilized to pressure the Trustees of Cornell University to evict CAS from the campus and halt its influence over the school's prestigious College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.   One argument Kahn wants us to buy into is that there were mistakes made during the early roll out of GMOs in the 1990s. But, somehow, mysteriously and without any solid evidence, we are supposed to believe that these same companies now engineering new generations of crops have learned their lessons. All that has really changed has been the genetic technology for altering plant genomes. The same mind-set that only technology and the quest for food dominance remain. After hundreds of thousands of dollars were flushed away during a genetically modified wheat project, a retired professor of plant agriculture at the University of Guelph in Canada remarked:   "We – scientists and the public – are so malleable and gullible (or is it because researchers and research administrators are just desperate for money?), that we swallow and become promoters of the mantra that GM is somehow going to feed the world: by resolving the monumental threat of burnt toast? Or browning in cut apples? Or flower color in carnations? Really? For shame. Let's be honest. The one and only reason these people, corporations, and governments are funding this sorry use of [lab] bench space is because it may yield a proprietary product."   Following Lynas' lead, Kahn wants us to believe that genes exchanged between different plants is common in nature and therefore manipulating genes between species with genetic engineering tools, such as CRISPR, should not worry us. Yes, plants have acquired genes from other organisms in the past – the far distant past – according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. However, it is so exceedingly rare that these should be regarded as anomalies without any correlation whatsoever to the millions of different genes available to bio-engineer new plant organisms. This has been one of Lynas' pet arguments on his bully pulpit since turning traitor on his former Greenpeace activists and joining Monsanto's legions.    It may also be noted that Jennifer Kahn is an active participant in CRISPRcon, a forum dedicated to “the future of CRISPR and gene editing technology applications in agriculture, health, conservation and more.” Among the organization's supporters are Bayer, the Innovative Genomics Institute, Cornell Alliance for Science, Corteva Agriscience and the United Soybean Board.  A mission noted on its website is expressed in one of its mottos, “The public doesn't trust GMOs. Will it trust CRISPR?” This is a public relations pitch that permeates her Times article.    It is important for independent investigators and researchers to identify and publicize the background of cloaked public relations shills posing as unbiased journalists in mainstream news sources. Kahn's New York Times piece is an example of a propaganda effort without credibility; it is an attempt to disingenuously manipulate the narrative so more Americans will love GMOs. In the wake of the agrichemical industry's efforts to bolster favorable images of GMOs and more recently CRISPR editing technologies, the mainstream media willingly rolls out a red carpet. No equal publishing space is awarded to the scientific critics of genetic engineering who uncover the flaws in the industry's public research. Consequently, journalists such as Mark Lynas and Jennifer Kahn are the norm rather than exception. Today the lesson is clear that money, power and influence sustain the lies and deceit of private industry.  Take on any cause critical of GMOs and agro-chemical agriculture, and Big Ag will come after you. Kahn is seemingly just one of many other journalists the GLP and Cornell Alliance can turn towards to advance genetic engineering's mythologies.    Seven years ago, 70 percent of Americans, according to a Consumer Reports National Research Center survey, did not want genetically modified organisms in their food. In 2018, the Pew Research Center reported that only five percent of Americans said GM foods were better for one's health – which about makes up the number of people who are in one way or another invested in the agrichemical industry. Still over half believe they endanger health. Yet too much has been invested into agro-biotechnology to expect GMOS to disappear at any time. As the public increasingly turns away from genetically modified organisms in their produce, we will expect new volleys of industry propaganda like that penned by Jennifer Kahn to dangle new carrots. For Kahn, one of these rotten carrots is to improve nutritional content. Yet, similar to the Golden Rice, this will need to be proven beyond being an infomercial. We can also expect to hear ever wilder and more irrational claims about how GMO-based agriculture might reduce CO2 greenhouse pollution and save humanity. And we expect much of this PR campaign to be backed by the World Economic Forum's full-throttle Great Reset invasion. In other words, out of desperation to reach global food dominance, the agro-chemical industry backed by western governments will be declaring a full food war against the peoples of the world.  It is time for us to unlearn any illusory attachment we might have to Big Agriculture and learn to loath GMOs.

The Genetic Literacy Project’s Jon Entine and Innovation Forum’s Toby Webb talk about why gene editing has yet to make significant impact in the agriculture sector. Entine explains how gene editing mimics what happens in nature, enhancing qualities and eliminating problems. They discuss the differences between gene editing and genetic modification, and why the former should not be bundled together with the latter as regulators and brands catch up with the potential of science.

On this month's episode of The Sonnyside of the Farm, Secretary Sonny sits down with Jon Entine, Founder and Executive Director of the Genetic Literacy Project, to talk about innovation in agriculture. If we as a society are going to continue doing our part to feed the growing world population, innovation is imperative in agriculture to produce more with less. While America's farmers and ranchers are up to the challenge, there is a narrative out there that's anti-science and against innovation, making consumers inaccurately fear their food. This episode will help educate and inform consumers that science and innovation in agriculture are safe and vital.

Stehen wir vor einer „Insekten-Apokalypse", die durch intensive, industrielle Landwirtschaft und Agrarchemikalien verursacht wird? Die Medien sagen ja, die Wissenschaft sagt nein. Nach jahrelangem Katastrophenhype hat selbst der Sierra Club 2018 endlich zugegeben, dass „für Honigbienen keine Gefahr des massenhaften Sterbens besteht. Die Gesamtzahl der landwirtschaftlich genutzten Honigbienen weltweit ist im letzten halben Jahrhundert um 45 Prozent gestiegen.“ Der Text wurde veröffentlicht auf: https://www.novo-argumente.com/artikel/was_ist_dran_am_grossen_insektenstreben_1_2#When:22:30:00Z Der Text ist zuerst erschienen beim Genetic Literacy Project.

Josefina Cano da voz a un artículo escrito por Steve Savage, científico agrícola, aparecido en Genetic Literacy Project, en el que el investigador describe nuevas variantes de manzanas, patatas y salmones que han sido modificadas genéticamente. Estas variedades son más resistentes a la degradación, a las plagas y contienen mejoradas sus propiedades alimenticias, razón por la cual las autoridades sanitarias en Estados Unidos y en otros países han aprobado su comercialización después de un largo periodo de espera. Las manzanas obtenidas se mantienen frescas mucho tiempo después de ser cortadas, gracias a la inactivación del gen que genera la enzima que les produce un color negruzco en poco tiempo en contacto con el aire. Las patatas han sido modificadas de forma que contienen una cantidad reducida de asparagina, un aminoácido que durante el proceso de fritura se puede convertir en acrilamida, un posible agente cancerígeno. Y, por último, a los salmones se les ha introducido un gen que le permite crecer más rápido y con un requerimiento menor de alimento que las variedades salvajes.

In this episode we talk to Erin of Food Science Babe, a food scientist with over 10 years of experience in both the conventional and organic food sectors. Erin shares myth-busting information on Facebook and Instagram to help her audience learn about food production, marketing, and agriculture. We talk to Food Science Babe about some hot-topic issues: conventional vs organic food, genetic modification, and the misinformation and fear-based marketing around these topics. As a food scientist, Erin is able to speak to the different types of genetic modification, the safety of foods on the market, and some of the environmental concerns that we often hear around farming practices. The objective of this episode is for our listeners gain an understanding of another side of the food conversation that we don't often hear in mainstream media or marketing. In exploring some of the science behind conventional and organic food production, our hope is that you can feel more freedom and ease when you're making food choices for yourself and your family.

  Fear of chemicals in our food system scares some people to death.  Is it warranted? Both organic chemicals and synthetic chemicals are used to grow, process, transport, preserve, package and serve our food, from farms to tables. Consequently traces of chemical residues can be found in all of us. Given declining trust in large corporations and government institutions some worry about this a great deal and some don't give it a second thought.  For the most part Federal government agencies and food manufacturers are assuring that safeguards are adequate and the fear is not warranted while  many NGO's draw attention to what they see as shortcomings in regulation and increased risks evidenced by certain scientific studies. The Genetic Literacy Project takes a more reassuring perspective on food safety.  Its Founder and Executive Director, John Entine is also the author of "Scared To Death" and  "Crop Chemophobia".  This episode of Farm to Table Talk explores the current facts, perceptions and 'phobias' about our food and how it is grown.

Joining Innovation Forum's Toby Webb are Jon Entine from the Genetic Literacy Project, Perry Hackett from Recombinetics and Kevin Folta from the University of Florida. They discuss gene editing, GMOs and whether biotech and organics can work together. In a world where ever-more food is required, they also debate whether the entrenched camps in food technology can become less suspicious of each other, and how a more agro-ecology approach across the board can become the focus.

Jon Moore reporting!   This week we have a series of good news stories! Yes things are not ideal in the world and we’re all dealing with changes over which we have no control so let the good news begin!   The wonderfully named blog: The Mindful Bunny brings us a post: 8 Easy Ways to Lead a More Sustainable Lifestyle!   Like many of us the concept of sustainability can be overwhelming and The Mindful Bunny is no different: Quote: Sustainability is the concept that allows the current generation’s needs to be meet without sacrificing the needs of future generations. This is important. The rate at which we currently use resources is not sustainable in the slightest. At first this problem is completely overwhelming. And no, you can’t fix it by yourself. This thought made me anxious beyond belief. After taking a step back I realized that I can make a difference. The little things do add up and leading by example has always served me well. End Quote.   The eight suggestions start with low hanging fruit: Is waste really waste? Do I need to throw it away or not? Through to more challenging suggestions: Go Vegan sell the car and walk or ride a push bike.   The point of this post is that we can all make a difference. Even if we only choose to put the first few suggestions into practice we will make a difference. The way to change the world is by many of us doing small things to achieve massive outcomes. The Mindful Bunny gives us a good place to start!   The Genetic Literacy Project brings us a story that should be shouted from the rooftops, spread across the web and lead to such massive change we can all breathe a little easier. The post is entitled: USDA: Organic corn and soy more profitable than conventional crops despite higher costs. Let me just re-read that title so you’re sure of what I said. USDA: Organic corn and soy more profitable than conventional crops despite higher costs.   This is information we should spread far and wide! What many of us already knew has now been “proven” econometrically.   Quote: The premiums organic farmers receive for growing those crops more than compensate for the higher cost of production, said Catherine Greene, senior agricultural economist with the USDA’s Economic Research Service. End Quote.   I’d even question the higher costs of organic production. When we factor in the costs of pesticides, herbicides and annual seed purchases that do not occur in organic systems. These alone, on economic grounds, point towards organic systems. Given good design labour costs are little more than or even less than conventional systems. And all this is before we include the benefits to pollinators, soil biota, water systems and all life on earth generally.  So spread the word on this post, spread it as far and as thickly as you can!   Following on with good news, the blog ideas.ted.com brings the post: How ancient wisdom can help us adapt to climate change. The author Coco Liu brings us four old ideas making a comeback, especially with regards to drought.   The first is an old variety of rice. Quote: “Floating rice is well adapted to floods,” Nguyen says. When heavy rains come, the plants grow at an accelerated rate so their foliage always remains above water — they can reach up to six meters (20 feet) in height. And since floodwaters can safely fill floating-rice paddies rather than swelling the river, the cities and villages downstream escape being submerged. “When we first reintroduced floating rice to the village of  Vinh Phuoc in 2013, nearby farmers wanted us to teach them as well,” Nguyen says. His team is running a pilot program in two provinces in the Mekong Delta, and they plan to launch field work in Cambodia and Myanmar next year. End Quote.   To achieve the best results on a society wide approach, the rice fields are not surrounded by dykes. This allows the flood waters to move sideways, so to speak, before flowing down stream. The benefits of this are food production from an adapted variety and less damaging flooding downstream.   The floating rice is less productive than hybridised “modern” varieties but work on this aspect of the variety is still to be done.  It’s a balance thing where the costs of flooding are mitigated by less rice production but, obviously, massively larger straw production. This could be converted to protein by rabbits and or pigs so that the total food production rather than one output, grain, may be equal or even higher.   Another idea from the post relies upon understanding the archaeology of a region, in this case Bolivia. Floods and droughts in succession were mitigated in the past by canals and extreme raised bed gardening. These raised beds, some two metres in height, are called camellones.   Quote: Since Saavedra experimented with the method in the Beni region in 2007, he’s seen good results: His cassava and corn harvests set new records for organic farming in the area. When severe floods came in 2008 — the worst Bolivia had seen in 50 years — the plants on the camellones were the only ones that survived. The crops in conventional fields were completely swamped and destroyed. Although the intensive labor required to construct a camellone — it takes a week’s work with machinery for each hectare — has deterred some farmers, Saavedra’s nonprofit organization Sustainable Amazonia has taught 500 families to use this method. Oxfam has endorsed the camellone technique and financed its development in Bolivia. End Quote.   Perhaps it is worth remembering the words of Joel Salatin. I paraphrase, “We’re really good as a culture at hitting targets. What we’re not so good at is asking if we’re aiming at the right target.”   Coco then goes on to talk about an old tribal habit in Kenya of calling a council called a “Dedha”. It’s all about managing feed resources during drought by allocating grazing for the whole community. It is an interesting idea and not dissimilar to how commons were grazed in medieval Europe for the benefit all in the community.   The final idea suggested is... Duck not pesticides!   Quote: ... in northern China’s Heilongjiang Province. There, chilly springs used to hold back the hatching of pests. But with rising temperatures, that delay is fading away and pests are proliferating. Many farmers turned to intensive pesticide use, which has saved their crops — but killed large amounts of wildlife. “I was in a village where there were no frogs and no swallows. Instead, I saw empty pesticide bottles everywhere,” says Fang Yongjiang, a Chinese farmer and entrepreneur in the province. “The village was so quiet that it was scary.”   So Fang devised a chemical-free approach: using ducks to patrol the rice paddies, a technique that his ancestors relied on at least 600 years ago. The ducks feed on insects and weeds without consuming the rice plants; their droppings serve as fertilizer. End Quote.   And you get duck eggs and duck meat. Using animals to the jobs of chemicals is really a no-brainer. It is a mimicking of Nature and it is always easier to work with the systems Nature has tested in the fire of evolution than to reinvent the wheel. Prety much all problems in agriculture and gardening have been solved already if we will only take the time to see them.   Our post this week comes from The One-cow Revolution blog and has the tempting title: “become a farmer in seven days”   Surprisingly, if you know what you’re doing, this is doable! From vacant overgrown block to farm in seven days! The first two days will give you some idea. A link to full article and all other articles mentioned are in the show notes. This particular post had me smiling extremely broadly.   Quote:   Day one Buy or beg a goat, 50 ft. of airline cable, 2 swivels, a cinder block, and a bucket Tether the goat in your worst briars and scrub; give her a bucket of water Milk her, drink the milk Cost: $100 or the sky’s the limit, depending on the goat Day two, Build a 4′ x 8’compost bin, put a dog carrier at one end, and install six pullets Fill the other end of the bin with at least twelve inches of organic matter: wood chips, grass clippings, leaves, sawdust, even shredded paper Add all your kitchen and table scraps, and let the chickens go at it. Milk the goat, move her tether Cost: $50 for the chickens, $30 for a roll of woven wire, scrounge the posts and dog carrier   End Quote.   And so it goes on for the rest of the week. Really worth clicking through.   And that brings us to the end of this week’s podcast.   If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can! I’d also really appreciate a review on iTunes. This helps others to find us. Thanks in advance!   Any suggestions, feedback or criticisms of the podcast or blog are most welcome. email me at podcast@worldorganicnews.com.   Thank you for listening and I'll be back in a week.     Links   8 Easy Ways to Lead a More Sustainable Lifestyle – The Mindful Bunny http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-dw2   USDA: Organic corn and soy more profitable than conventional crops despite higher costs http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-dxz   How ancient wisdom can help us adapt to climate change | ideas.ted.com http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-dxK   become a farmer in seven days | The One-cow Revolution http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-dyA
