Wi-fi lifeline for Yak farmers in Nepal

Wi-fi lifeline for Yak farmers in Nepal 05/27/2004 03:34 PM
BBC story about a WiFi project in Nepal that allows yak farmers in remote Himalayan locations to keep in touch with their families back home. File under pretty frickin' amazing. Snip:

"They are taking advantage of a wi-fi network set up in a remote region of the mountain kingdom where there are no phones or other means of communication.

It is the result of a campaign led by local teacher Mahabir Pun, and backed by volunteers and donations, to bring the internet to an isolated part of the world.

So far, the Nepal Wireless Networking project has hooked up five villages in the area using wireless technology."

Farmers Grow Backsides with Wi-Fi

Farmers Grow Backsides with Wi-Fi 06/18/2004 03:58 PM
Wi-Fi networks on farms should allow farmers to control and monitor more of their operations remotely: Trial projects attempt to show that with farm-wide Wi-Fi coverage, that irrigation, packing, and other parts of a farm's business could be handled through remote control. Eventually, tractors and other devices might be run by wire (or by wireless, as it were). Anthropomorphism abounds: runaway tractors are a risk, but crazy runaway tractors? "What we're really scared of is killing someone if it goes nuts," Pocknee said of the robotic tractors. Likewise, this strange statement needs some explanation: Pocknee can sit in his office and see the position of a 600-foot irrigation system in a nearby field on his computer screen. The system is equipped with a global positioning system to provide its location. A wireless video camera shows how it is operating. Why first thought is "why would an irrigation system move?" and then I realized these are irrigation systems that are rolled over fields. Of course, this kind of automation helps big agribusiness more than small farmers who may be unable to afford the technology investment upfront on a scale where it makes sense. Labor can be less expensive than technology, as certain countries have taught us. I'd like to also see projects in which open-source-flashed Linksys gateways are hooked together for a few hundred dollars on a 100-acre farm than ever more multi-million dollar research investments that let farms be run from hundreds of miles away.

My son plays WoW (world of warcraft), a massive online adventure game.  One day I heard him say, "Darn, Chinese Farmers..."  What?  He explained that there were hundreds of Chinese players that "farmed" the game for profit.  They travel the map generating game "gold" so they can sell it on eBay.  It was an online example of clear cutting.  LOL.  Sure enough.  Here they are...  There are hundreds of listings...

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit

Urban farmers reclaim Detroit 12/11/2003 09:39 AM
In Detroit, urban farmers, frustrated with buying their groceries at Party Stores now that the grocery chains have largely pulled out of the city, have begun to reclaim Detroit's vast empty spaces for grow-your-own operations, complete with livestock and tractors.

After decades of blight, large swathes of Detroit are being reclaimed by nature. Roughly a third of this 139-square-mile city consists of weed-choked lots and dilapidated buildings. Satellite images show an urban core giving way to an urban prairie.

Rather than fight this return to nature, Mr. Weertz and other urban farmers have embraced it, gradually converting 15 acres of idle land into more than 40 community gardens and microfarms — some consuming entire blocks.
