permaculture

[Lawrence London <lfljvenaura@gmail.com>]

Two industry whores going at it full tilt. Unbelievable that SB would turn
against all the people his publications, WEC, CoEQ, WER,
supported in such a long lasting, wholesome, robust, unique, creative
progresive way. What makes people like him turn to the dark side? What a
disappointment.
Onward with Peasant Sovereignty!

NAIROBI, Kenya — Mohammed Rahman doesn’t know it yet, but his small farm in
central Bangladesh is globally significant. Mr. Rahman, a smallholder
farmer in Krishnapur, about 60 miles northwest of the capital, Dhaka, grows
eggplant on his meager acre of waterlogged land.

As we squatted in the muddy field, examining the lush green foliage and
shiny purple fruits, he explained how, for the first time this season, he
had been able to stop using pesticides. This was thanks to a new
pest-resistant variety of eggplant supplied by the government-run
Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute.
