The Lake Babine Nation people lived along the shores of Lake Babine and downstream along the Lake Babine River. They were organized into clans such as the Beaver/Grouse clan and Frog/Marten Clan, who held responsibility for allocated fishing sites. Prior to contact with Europeans, the Babine people relied heavily on salmon and engaged in drying and smoking vast quantities of sockeye salmon. They harvested various wild foods including salmon, trout, fish, moose, deer, rabbits, bears, grouse, ducks, berries and used plant roots for medicine and tea.Red salmon creek presentation

Oak savannas were once a widespread habitat across the Midwest, consisting of open areas with large oak trees and a diverse understory of grasses, flowers, and shrubs. Efforts are being made to restore oak savannas by first identifying locations of former savannas, removing invasive trees and brush, conducting prescribed burns, and annually monitoring and burning the land over 10-12 years while gradually reintroducing native plant species.In pictures madagascar

Madagascar's natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate to sustain the livelihoods of its population. Over 70% of Malagasy rely on the country's depleted forest systems for fuel, medicine and other needs. As resources diminish, many people are being forced to overexploit the land through activities like slash and burn farming, gravel extraction, deforestation for fuel and construction. This unsustainable use of land and resources threatens both the environment and people's health.FAME - Famine Aid in Africa

The Kemble Community Gardens project began in 2008 when a group of people came together wanting to turn an overgrown plot of land into allotments and gardens. With the help of Travis Perkins using mini diggers, they cleared the land while preserving trees and wildlife. Experts from the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust taught the group permaculture no-dig methods. By summer 2008, individual plots had begun to grow food. The group created ponds, built a rainwater collection system, and planted an orchard. They held workshops teaching gardening skills and involved local school children and the community. The gardens provide a space for social activities and continue expanding.EdibleNutmeg_Summer2016

Bren Smith operates a 3-acre kelp farm called Thimble Island Farm located in Long Island Sound. The farm produces seven crops including kelp, clams, oysters, mussels and scallops using a 3D vertical farming method where the crops grow below the water's surface, invisible to boats and swimmers above. Smith has expanded kelp farming through his nonprofit GreenWave, which supports other ocean farmers and aims to bring kelp and other sea vegetables into the mainstream through commercial partnerships and an underwater community garden where members can harvest their own kelp and shellfish. Local chefs have embraced kelp, using it in unexpected dishes for its versatility and nutritional benefits.Announcements Wed. April 27

The document discusses beef production in Alberta, Canada. It describes how bison were once plentiful but hunted to near extinction for their pelts. It also notes that most modern cattle farms use high-density production and antibiotics. However, some ranches are moving to more organic and sustainable practices. For example, the University of Calgary studied whether organic sustainable farming was feasible. And the Diamond Willow Range ranch was founded by seven families and aims to supply organic beef year-round through practices like crop rotation and reducing chemical inputs. The document advocates working with nature rather than dominating it to farm more sustainably.Updated goals ivivva

Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, mollusks and aquatic plants. It involves cultivating these populations under controlled conditions and can be contrasted with commercial fishing which harvests wild populations. Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production system and almost half of the seafood consumed worldwide now comes from aquaculture farms. Aquaculture has a long history dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt and China and continues to grow in importance to meet the rising global demand for seafood.Superiority of organic agriculture over conventional agriculture presentation...

This document discusses issues with modern industrial agriculture and promotes organic farming as a more sustainable alternative. It notes that industrial agriculture relies on monocropping, chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and GMOs. This degrades soils and biodiversity and threatens health. In contrast, organic farming integrates natural biological cycles to satisfy long-term needs while enhancing environmental quality. The document argues that organic farming is a sustainable system that controls farm viability and enhances food security and quality of life.The role of WWOOFing in knowledge provision and transmission

This document discusses knowledge transmission through WWOOFing (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). A survey was conducted of WWOOF hosts and volunteers. The results showed that hosting WWOOFers can improve farm knowledge for 90% of hosts. However, hosts' main motivation is help with workload. For volunteers, WWOOFing increases awareness of organic farming and their motivation is learning new skills and meeting people rather than low-cost travel. Both groups benefit from the social relationships and informal knowledge sharing fostered by WWOOFing.WWOOF INTERNSHIP GUIDE FOR BEGINNER

Ecotourism has grown rapidly but definitions vary widely. It aims to involve travel to natural areas in a sustainable way that benefits the environment and local communities. However, in practice ecotourism faces many criticisms. Large-scale operations can degrade the environment and exploit local people rather than helping them. There is a lack of regulation allowing "greenwashing" where unsustainable practices are misleadingly marketed. Negative impacts on communities include displacement, threats to culture, and environmental damage. Better standards and limits on commercialization are needed to ensure ecotourism truly achieves its goals.Aloha ECHO Conference

"The Aloha House Story: Serving the Community Through Agricultural Extension"
Agricultural Extension is a great tool for the development worker who wants to impact their community while minimising risk to the small hold farmer and back yard producer. Aloha House started as an orphanage for children in crises and now also is working with families and single parents. Healthy food production is an integral component and the organic farm grew out of that desire. As interest grew and trainings were undertaken, ECHO Technical notes were key to fast tracking the success and profitability of our farm. Join us on this adventure as Keith highlights some of their successes and failures in this 15 year adventure.
Keith Mikkelson is the Executive Director of Aloha House inc., an NGO founded with his wife to help Philippine families. Aloha House is an orphanage located on an organic farm that produces food for the children, staff and customers in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines. Keith's book A Natural Farming System for Sustainable Agriculture in the Tropics has sold over 5,000 copies.More Related Content

The solar dryer reported in this paper was developed to enable farmers to add value to their produce by drying it at farm itself. It can also be used in cottage industries in remote places. The dryer has a multi-shelf design with intermediate heating, passive, integral, direct/indirect and portable solar dryer. Intermediate heating of air in-between trays results in uniform drying in all the trays. Since the dryer at the farm is not likely to be used throughout the year, it has been made portable. A novel feature of this dryer is that the product can be dried under shade or otherwise as per requirement. The design is low cost to make it economically viable. The maximum stagnation temperature was 75 属C in the month of November at Ludhiana (31属N). During experiments on drying of fenugreek leaves the moisture evaporation on first, second and third drying day was 1.4, 0.9 and 0.4 kg/m2 of aperture area. To overcome the problem of reduction in efficiency on second and third drying day, a semi-continuous mode of loading has been investigated, in which the efficiency remains almost the same on all drying days. The shelf life of the dried product is more than one year.P.L.A.N.T. history and projects

This document discusses the history and evolution of food systems from prehistoric times to the present. It notes that for most of human history until the 19th century, people were hunter-gatherers or grew their own food locally. In the early 20th century, commercialization led to food being transported over long distances. Today, people can access food from anywhere at any time. The remainder of the document outlines strategies for more sustainable and health-promoting food systems, such as buying local and seasonal whole foods, reducing red meat and processed foods, and being transparent about sourcing.Wwoof speech slewis
