Santa Barbara Permaculture Network
presents:
The Legal Landscape of Social Enterprise & the Sharing Economy
with Jenny Kassan & Janelle Orsi
from the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC)
Evening Talk, Friday, June 3, 7-9pm 2011
Santa Barbara Central Library, Faulkner Gallery
Admission $10/$5 students & seniors
~
We all want a more sustainable society, but what are the legal
implications and changes needed to move society beyond the ongoing
legal/illegal dance of sustainability and the challenges of emerging
local economies?
Please join Jenny Kassan & Janelle Orsi from the Sustainable Law
Center (SELC) for a stimulating discussion of sharing economies,
collaborative consumption, social enterprise, and other intriguing
and promising trends affecting our local economies and livelihoods.
Urban agriculture, community-owned enterprises with locally raised
capital, local currencies, barter economies, worker-owned
cooperatives, intentional communities, car sharing, these are many of
the key ingredients in the transition to more sustainable local
economies. What are the possibilities, the challenges, and the
practical and legal barriers? How might these trends transform our
communities and what steps can we all take to catalyze change?
Jenny Kassan and Janelle Orsi are Co-Directors of the
<http://www.sustainableeconomieslawcenter.org/>Sustainable Economies
Law Center (SELC), which facilitates the growth of more sustainable
and localized economies through education, research, and advocacy to
support practices such as barter, sharing, cooperatives, urban
agriculture, shared housing, local currencies, community-supported
enterprises, and local investing. Janelle and Jenny are co-authors of
the American Bar Association's forthcoming book, "Sharing Law:
Understanding the Legal Landscape of the Sharing Economy".

Hello folks,
there are 3 basic strategies for improving the nutritional quality of
food crops.
cultural practices (e.g.., fertilization, crop rotation, tillage,
irrigation...)
crop breeding (e.g., selection of cultivars with enhanced nutrient
uptake and partitioning of nutrients to harvested portions of plants)
post harvest management (e.g., crop storage and food preparation
practices that minimize nutrient losses and potentially increase
nutrient availability)
There has actually been good research in each of these directions.
Focus on only one dimension (e.g., fertilization with micronutrients)
may be appropriate in some situations but a more comprehensive approach
will certainly be more broadly effective.
***************************************
the following review articles may be of interest:
Humans require more than 22 mineral elements, which can all be supplied
by an appropriate diet. However, the diets of populations subsisting on
cereals, or inhabiting
regions where soil mineral imbalances occur, often lack Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg,
Cu, I or Se. Traditional strategies to deliver these minerals to
susceptible populations have
relied on supplementation or food fortification programs. Unfortunately,
these interventions have not always been successful. An alternative
solution is to increase mineral concentrations in edible crops. This is
termed biofortification. It can be achieved by mineral fertilization
or plant breeding. There is considerable genetic variation in crop
species that can be harnessed for sustainable biofortification
strategies. Varieties with increased mineral concentrations in their
edible portions are already available, and new genotypes with higher
mineral densities are being developed.

enhancing the nutritional quality of staple foods: principles,
perspectives and knowledge gaps. Adv. Agron. 70, 77142 (I have a print
