-Are agricultural productivity and biodiversity mutually exclusive? Bioscience has your answer.
-I've seen a few photos of a new green wall in New Zealand, but have mostly ignored it because it has been billed as "the biggest in New Zealand". Now, with a population of 4 million and not too many green walls built to date, it was unclear what that title meant. Well, it looks like it should be billed not just as the biggest in NZ, but an incredible one.
-Looks like urban agriculture is starting to gain traction in New Jersey.
Lastly, if you're a writer and into food justice/security Stuffed and Starved is being updated over the summer and they would like some help. Here's what they are looking for:
"someone who:
* knows the subject area around the global food system (and has likely skimmed, if not read, Stuffed and Starved)
* is exceptionally well organized,
* can keep track of references in Endnote
* works very well independently,
* writes lucidly
* can commit to 2-3 months full time this summer
It'd also help if they know their way around the IMF, World Bank, FAO and USDA databases, and are a dab hand with tracking references down online, though this isn't a requirement. It doesn't take long to pick up."
If that's you, let them know pronto, it closes right now. Later in the year there will also be a bigger project on Agricultural Utopias if that interests you as well.
