How to stop fishermen fishing →
climateadaptation:
“Fishermen generally understand the risks of overfishing. Yet still they flout quotas, where they exist. That is often because they take a short-term view of the asset—they would rather cash in now and invest the money in something else. And it is invariably compounded by a commons-despoiling feeling that if they don’t plunder, others will.
In most fisheries, the...

Ad nauseam: Did Chipotle’s Grammy ad scare Big Ag? →
elementaldesigner:
By Tom Laskawy
“A screenshot from the now-famous Chipotle ad (click to watch).
During the broadcast of this year’s Grammys, Chipotle “stole the show” when it ran this animated ad to illustrate the company’s support for less-intensive sustainable livestock agriculture.
The animation itself has been online since last August, but thanks to Chipotle, it was seen by millions...

Permaculture Leaf Shredding →
The situation: We have an over-abundance of oak leaves every Fall. We have a shortage of good topsoil on this rocky Ozark hilltop year-round. How to use one problem to solve the other? Why, chickens of course.

Aquaponics
nicolefaires:
Aquaponics, the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, is an old idea that has been more recently transformed into something that looks like the picture above (which came from Wikipedia). Inspired by permaculture, which in turn was inspired by nature and the chinampas of the Aztec’s, aquaponics seems like it could be the way of the future. (Have you seen The Aviator? When...

afarmjournal:
“We already know that some wildlife groups are declining on our farms such as pollinators and birds. Our research suggests that focussing on the sustainability of one group of animals may not bring benefits to others, however, we did find that restoring particular plants such as buttercups, thistles and clover could, theoretically at least, rapidly increase biodiversity across the...

montanamongrel:
This really pisses me off. Not only do I know that steer (his mother was one of the show cows I worked with), I know the girl who originally bought him and refused to sell him at the auction barn when she left for college because she was to attached.
This animal would have made the perfect animal for 4-H, gotten our farm name out and around and was a great representation of the...

I’m leaving my internship at the end of the week. I don’t know how I’ll live sans chickens!
It’s weird waking up in the morning and not having them at my backdoor waiting to be fed. I just can’t wait to move so I can get some more.

Sad weekend.
My chickens went to their new home.
I now live a life void of farm animals.
My poor dog was so upset, he kept going outside to look for his chickens but couldn’t find them.

This is why I don't take naps.
expectations: I'm just going to take a quick power nap and I'll wake up refreshed and energized
reality: passed out cold for five hours solid, wake up not knowing what day it is or what the last meal you ate was
