Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Expand your vegetable garden with containers
Bangor Daily News - 1/28/2012.

By Reeser Manley – When the vegetable garden’s beds, as outlined on the coming season’s planting plan, are all spoken for and you wish there was just a little more space for a pepper plant or two or a small patch of that new lettuce variety, think pots.

Climate insurance to protect our food supply?
Common Dreams - 1/28/2012.

By Julia Olmstead – I feel uneasy sleeping in a house without functioning smoke detectors. I lock my doors at night. I salt my sidewalk when it's icy. I always wear my seatbelt. Like most people, I prefer to minimize my chances of getting hurt or wrecking my car or house, despite the fact that my house, my car, and my health are all (thankfully) insured. When it comes to agriculture and climate change, I'd like to see our nation take the same approach.

Commentary in “Nature”: can economy bear what oil prices have in store?
Energy Bulletin - 1/27/2012. By Eureka Staff (Univ. of Washington) – Stop wrangling over global warming and instead reduce fossil-fuel use for the sake of the global economy. That's the message from two scientists, one from the University of Washington and one from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, who say in the current issue of the journal Nature (Jan. 26) that the economic pain of a flattening oil supply will trump the environment as a reason to curb the use of fossil fuels.

Forest service relieved to find no ash borers
Kennebec Journal - 1/27/2012.

AP – AUGUSTA — Maine Forest Service insect experts say a "bark-peeling" workshop aimed at finding evidence of tree-killing bugs found no evidence of the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect threatening Maine's forests.
