Students beat different drum
12:00p.m. 27th April 2009
| By Mike Garry

Fifteen Sunshine Coast students are preparing to leave the comforts of home to live and perform aid work in one of the poorest areas of Zambia.

The students are part of an Empower Youth project to address health, hygiene and education issues in the village of Kichekwe.
The group will attempt to establish permaculture gardens, a chicken coop and an orchard in Kichekwe, where most children survive on just one or two meals of maize a day.

Ventnor Permaculture
More than growing veggies – Reduce – Reuse – Recycle
The next Isle of Wight Permaculture Monthly Meeting will be hosted by Wendy and Nick at their allotment in Shanklin on Sunday 3rd May
10:30 – 12:30.

There will be lots of different things you can lend a hand with: transplanting leek seedlings. Sharpening the remaining stakes with a billhook provided and making sense of the netting to cover the fruit cage. Putting up wires for the vines that I will plant out in Autumn.

Since the 1970s, a number of innovative ways to produce food have been created. In 1978 an Australian ecologist named Bill Mollison coined the term permaculture , which he defined as the "use of ecology as the basis for designing integrated systems of food productions." The word permaculture is a contraction of "permanent agriculture." The idea of permaculture is to design "ecological human habitats and food production systems."

perma According to the Permaculture Institute , permaculture designs and manages "ecosystems that are very rich in biodiversity and productivity." Permaculture mimics nature's patterns by using a variety of plants, animals, and uses good land stewardship (left: rather than using pesticides, goats and chickens provide pest control, and can also eat plant scraps and cuttings). It also uses energy efficient buildings, recycles nutrients from a variety of sources, and treats waste water.

In 1994, the University of California at Davis developed the Biologically Integrated Farming Systems (BIFS) to

Doctors call for moratorium on genetically modified foods:

https://www.examiner.com/x-5148-LA-...iate-moratorium-on-Genetically-Modified-foods

The AAEM calls for:

• A moratorium on GM food, implementation of immediate long term safety testing and labeling of GM food.
• Physicians to educate their patients, the medical community and the public to avoid GM foods.
• Physicians to consider the role of GM foods in their patients’ disease processes.
• More independent long term scientific studies to begin gathering data to investigate the role of GM foods on human health.

“Multiple animal studies have shown that GM foods cause damage to various organ systems in the body. With this mounting evidence, it is imperative to have a moratorium on GM foods for the safety of our patients’ and the public’s health,” said Dr. Amy Dean, PR chair and Board Member of AAEM.

“Physicians are probably seeing the effects in their patients, but need to know how to ask the right questions,” said Dr. Jennifer Armstrong, President of AAEM. “The most common foods in North America which are consumed that are GMO are corn, soy, canola, and cottonseed oil.”
