Trying to balance reading the Permies forum and watching the evening news, I was surprised to find a juxtaposition of topics when this story came on:

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/globalhealth/jan-june12/food9billion_04-03.html

While I'm somewhat concerned about the idea of teaching people to be reliant on fertilizer for growing crops, at the core, this is a good project.

Cheers.

As Mark Twain once said

If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed.
If you do read the newspaper, you're misinformed.

 
You had your fun. Now it's time to go to jail. Thanks for your help tiny ad.
