My older brother has worked with pigs his entire adult life, managing about 70,000 of them across five counties, Faaborg says. But we got to a point where he went from laughing at me to saying: well, I guess maybe I'll quit my job and help you out.

Jasmín Ordóñez looks out from a wooden boat at the water as she crosses a narrow channel that connects a labyrinth of chinampas, island farms that were built by the Aztecs thousands of years ago. "Let's close our eyes and ask our Mother Water for permission to sail in peace," she said as the boat moves slowly, in contrast to the frenetic traffic of Mexico City just a few miles away.

Defined as a "walled garden," the building's concept reflects its typology and context-crafted from brick in a pixilated pattern referencing Queensland's geological cross-section. From a distance, it reads as a stone wall; up close, it reveals a finely articulated façade.

Our goal is to reduce emissions, promote healthy soils and help farmers improve yields," said Nicolas Pinkowski, co-founder and chief executive officer. "There's a lot of concern right now in the US about chemicals in and on foods.

From the Desire for a Borderless Classroom to an Architecture Intertwined with Nature - Cheewit Cheewa Home of Nature or The Sikhio Natural Agriculture Learning Center was conceived by Dr. Mavin Dankul, who envisioned expanding the Project Approach model of learning through outdoor classrooms at Prasarnwittaya School. Its primary mission is to cultivate life skills and foster environmental awareness among children and youth. At its core, the program embraces an

Humans' collective prospects as a species don't look great. By 2050, the global population will hit an estimated 9.7 billion, meaning there will be 1.5 billion more mouths to feed than today. Demand for animal-derived protein, with its high environmental price tag, is predicted to rise faster still. Global temperatures and atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations are still increasing, tree cover is shrinking, oceans are acidifying, agricultural land is being lost to salinization, and extreme weather events are becoming more frequent.

Foraging struck a nerve, exposing anxieties about the state of the global food system and generating legitimate discourse - until the market got a hold of it.

"Atmospheric carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is the main driver of declining ocean pH, increasing the acidity of the world's oceans by more than 40% since the preindustrial era."

The proteins don't affect blood sugar, so they can avoid the health issues of sugar and sugar alternatives, such as heart attack and stroke.

Within carbon markets, our realization was that a lot of the projects in India, which are more avoidance-based, are of very low quality, and they produce junk credits.

Mushrooms contribute significantly to soil health by breaking down organic matter, improving soil structure, and supporting beneficial microbial communities.

By planting the right tree in the right place, we can reduce power outages, mitigate wildfire risk, and maintain reliable service.
