Wrong About Being Wrong

The belief that there is no conflict between this farming and arable production also seems to be unfounded: by preventing the growth of trees and other deep vegetation in the hills and by compacting the soil, grazing animals cause a cycle of flash floods and drought, sporadically drowning good land downstream and reducing the supply of irrigation water.

France Makes Virtue out of Vice to Exploit Central Africa Chaos

Monsanto, the TPP and Global Food Dominance

There is a safer, saner, more earth-friendly way to feed nations. While Monsanto and US regulators are forcing GM crops on American families, Russian families are showing what can be done with permaculture methods on simple garden plots. In 2011, 40% of Russia’s food was grown on dachas (cottage gardens or allotments).

US-Iran: The ever-spinning deal

Iran will be allowed to trade again in gold, petrochemicals, car and plane parts, and will have some US$4.2 billion in oil sales unfrozen. Yet a fortune remains in permafrost – including $10 billion in European banks. And there is still $50 billion with Iran’s Asian energy clients – China, India, Japan, South Korea, Turkey – that still cannot be repatriated.
