Welcome to the Rodale Institute web update newsletter.
http://www.rodaleinstitute.org/newsletter
Hello Paul: Three weeks into 2010, writers at the Rodale Institute are
celebrating Pennsylvanias break-through Path of Organic program and rounding
up the ways that organic farming can achieve even higher levels of carbon
sequestration in living biological crop, livestock and wooded areas. Our
agronomists are summarizing what they learned from last years many trials in
grain and horticultural crops as they carefully lay out new statistical field
queries for this growing season.
Every day, were checking new research on how organic systems work and
provide new options for raising food, supporting farmers and healing the
planet. Follow us on Twitter (@rodaleinstitute) to see what were doing and
responding to day to day.
