The agricultural technique known as “Wild Farming” is a growing alternative to “factory farming”. Wild farming consists of planting crops that are highly associated and supportive to the natural ecosystem.[1] This includes intercropping with native plants, following the contours and geography of the land, and supporting local food chains.[2] The goal is to produce large crop yields, while still promoting a healthy environment. Wild farming is a backlash against the dominance of factory farming. Up until the mid 20th century, agicultural crop yields relied on natural inputs such as rainfall patterns, natural soil resources, recycling of organic matter, and built-in biological control mechanisms.[2] Currently, agricultural practices have been conventionalized to include large monocropped fields and use of synthetics: pesticides and fertilizers. Avoiding the conventional farming practices, wild farming adopts many practices from sustainable agricultural systems such as agroecology, permaculture, forest farming, and greywater systems. The four basic guiding principles of the wild farming movement are:
1. Direct managers to develop long-term vision for future of landscape
2. Basic recognition of ecosystem processes.
3. High value on biological diversity.
4. To consider the quality of life of the community as well as the self.

Quote reblogged from Nada más quedaWe’re engaged in a mass delusion that misleadingly pits The Economy against what are at their core, Reproductive Rights. Don’t be fooled when considering who to vote for – women can’t participate equally in the first until they have the second. The very phrasing of the questions and the reporting of the answers hide the complex and interdependent relationship between the two. Contraception, reproductive rights, gay marriage (defined as it is by conservatives as a threat to male/female hierarchies) – all have critical implications for women’s economic well-being and for the economy at large.

[Harry:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so disloyal you could die
Told myself that you were there for me
But felt so helpless in your company
But that was friendship and it’s an ache I still rememberYou can get addicted to a certain kind of…
