Odds and ends from the last few weeks

Want to know what to do with peach leaves and corn cobs???

-For all of those in Central America, there's a permaculture course in Nicaragua happening this February.

-No surprise that in the UK 6% of city kids are interested in becoming farmers. But when they spend 2 days in the countryside and 17 watching tv, that makes a lot of sense.

-Not every African country is behind the idea, but it looks like Senegal is doing its part to make the the Great Green Wall project and stop the "Sahara creep" (I just coined that term) a reality.

-Lastly the Washington Post reports organic farming is reducing resistance of certain bacteria to antibiotics!
