Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Bhutan bets organic agriculture is the road to happiness
National Public Radio - 7/31/2012.

By Eliza Barclay – The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan drew international attention a few years back for saying gross national happiness should trump gross domestic product when measuring a nation's progress. If you're going to prioritize happiness, the Bhutanese thinking goes, you'd better include the environment and spiritual and mental well-being in your calculations.

Women’s risk of reproductive disease linked to environmental estrogens
Scientific American - 7/31/2012. By Lindsey Konkel and Environmental Health News – Shortly after moving to Canada’s Okanagan Valley, Patricia Lee started experiencing severe irregularities in her menstrual cycle. She had one period that lasted two and a half months. The bleeding was so intense that at one point, doctors recommended a blood transfusion.

Farm and Ranch Guide - 7/31/2012.

By Sue Roesler – In a couple of years, producers around the world will have a major new biopesticide technology tool in their disease-fighting toolbox that has been shown in trials over many years to combat some serious diseases of potatoes, sugarbeets and other crops. That bio-control technology is a naturally occurring bacterium called bacillus mycoides isolate J, or more commonly, BmJ.

The Daily - 7/30/2012.

But this group is venturing to a different field — literally. Enthusiasm for agriculture is surging among a new generation of younger people who are choosing careers tending to the land.
