AGvocacy: Plant Fruit Trees!
http://agvocacy.blogspot.com/2012/08/plant-fruit-trees.html
Pro-active support for the 'growing' world of urban agriculture, small farms and local foods. Monday, August 13, 2012. Green Spaces make people happy but productive green spaces make people happy AND healthy! If you are going to plant a tree, make it a fruit tree. Even if you can't eat all the produce yourself, quite often your local farm stand will "buy" this wonderful locally grown food from you; thereby stimulating the local economy! It just makes sense!

There is nothing I love more than a good story assignment that leads me to uncover the benefits of a naturally grown product but to uncover a controversy in the process; puts me in my element. My mission seemed simple – write an article about a sweetener that is good for diabetics; easy, right? Dr Bertoni, also an explorer learned of the herb in 1887&#...

So how do we prevent disease in a world bombarding our bodies with toxins in everything we consume, inhale, wear, or apply? First off, it’s time we started putting together pieces of the puzzle. We need to pay attention to the statistics over the last ten to twenty years of the incidences of cancer and autoimmune disease. Are we getting better or are we getting worse? Chronic bacter...

AGvocacy: March 2011
http://agvocacy.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Pro-active support for the 'growing' world of urban agriculture, small farms and local foods. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. Organics: To buy or not to buy…that is the question! Efreshing my memory of this inspiring piece of writing, I realize the ethics of what Hamlet was struggling with, has an affinity in whether or not supporting organic agriculture is worthwhile…aye; there’s the rub!

Pro-active support for the 'growing' world of urban agriculture, small farms and local foods. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Our planet, our cities, ourselves. I am an eco-warrior extraordinaire! No really, in fact, my whole family has it all together when it comes to saving our planet. Our “best green rated”, one car for a family of five, comes fully equipped with all our credentials on the bumper. We walk or bike to local events and our little garden is organically grown and rain barrel watered. I find whe...
