Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News

Supporting mom-and-pop stores in food deserts
Grist - 6/13/2011.

Gary Nabhan and Kelly Watters are right that it will take a diversity of new and expanded fresh food stores to truly solve the crisis of inadequate access to healthy food in many low-income areas. Small grocery stores, farmers markets, and expanded convenience stores are all part of a comprehensive, sustainable solution to this challenge.

TreeHugger - 6/13/2011.

By Stephen Messenger – The results of genetic modification have given rise to transgender goats which are essentially females in male bodies. Scientists working in New Zealand have begun breeding for these transgender goats, equipped with full male anatomy, in order to see if the milk they produce will bear similarities with human breast milk.

Bangor Daily News - 6/13/2011.AP – Augusta: The Maine Department of Conservation reports increasing damage throughout the state to eastern white pine trees, particularly a yellowing, browning and loss of needles. Officials expect unusual and excessive shedding of infected, 1-year-old tree needles over the next few weeks, caused by three fungi.

But, as The New York Times explained, evidence has been accumulating that the organic form can change into the more toxic, inorganic form, a known carcinogen.
