Organic Farming Studied As Demand Rises

09/26/2004 11:29 AM

AP - Organic farming sounds simple — no chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or genetically engineered plants. But succeeding at it can be complicated. A recent wave of research at universities around the country seeks to take some of the guesswork and financial uncertainty out of the practice.

Organic farming, the systematic conversion of land to certified practices that ensure food safety and security from the farm to the table, a comprehensive and fully traceable system, is developing rapidly throughout the world. According to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement’s study The World of Organic Agriculture: Statistics and Emerging Trends 2005, 36 countries achieved organic mega-country status in 2004, meaning that over 50,000 hectares of certified organic land are currently being cultivated. In total, over 26 million hectares of land are currently certified worldwide, generating over $25 billion in revenue in 2003. [PRWEB Jun 3, 2005]

England (Reuters) -- An unexplained radio signal from deep space could -- just might be -- contact from an alien civilization, New Scientist magazine reported on Thursday. The signal, coming from a point between the Pisces and Aries constellations, has been picked up three times by a telescope in Puerto Rico.

There are other explanations besides extraterrestrial contact that may explain the signal. New Scientist said the signal could be generated by a previously unknown astronomical phenomenon or even be a by-product from the telescope itself. But the mystery beam has excited astronomers across the world.

"If they can see it four, five or six times it really begins to get exciting," Jocelyn Bell Burnell of the University of Bath in western England told the magazine.

Vertical Farming: High-rise urban mass
agriculture
06/24/2005 06:34 PM
Cory Doctorow: This well-developed project from Columbia University walks through the realities, possibilities and constraints of multi-storey, urban, high-rise farming:
What is proposed here that differs radically from what now exists is to scale up the concept of indoor farming, in which a wide variety of produce is harvested in quantity enough to sustain even the largest of cities without significantly relying on resources beyond the city limits. Cattle, horses, sheep, goats, and other large farm animals seem to fall well outside the paradigm of urban farming. However, raising a wide variety of fowl and pigs are well within the capabilities of indoor farming. It has been estimated that it will require approximately 300 square feet of intensively farmed indoor space to produce enough food to support a single individual living in an extraterrestrial environment (e.g., on a space station or a colony on the moon or Mars)(35).

imageThe autonomous drones are back - and this time it's personal! These new OAVs - short for Organic Aerial Vehicles, although 'organic' doesn't mean what you think it means - come in three sizes, can travel up to 30 knots in light rain and moderate winds, and will even be able to avoid obstacles like buildings, trees, and other drones.

And if we tell the terrorists we've got flying robot buttplugs coming for them, we may finally have a workable deterrent.

JVC Organic Screen Head Unit


JVC Organic Screen Head Unit 09/08/2004 07:22 AM

el_32000.jpg image Sporting "the industry's highest color count" is JVC's new single-DIN CD receiver, the "KD-SHX929?." This is quite a headunit - you do of course get a 32,000+ color organic EL screen, but also the ability to play movies and still images on it (the screen) while driving. Furthermore, you can download images onto the unit yourself by simply burning them to a CD-R; the implied usage, of course, is autoeroticism. That being said, I think most people will be interested in this unit because of its ability to playback WMA and MP3 files as well. It's also got a "muting function" that will automatically mute when on a hands-free phone call or when your navigation system yells at you for missing a turn.
