Here's how climate change is redrawing Europe’s wine map !

'Ten years ago, you would never see a Danish wine on the list,' says Paul Robineau, executive head sommelier for the Taillevent group. 'But, with the climate changing, Denmark is on its way to make great wines.'⁠

So, I've recently partnered with New Society, a Canada-based company that publishes books on ecologically sustainable agricultural practices and how to care for your body. I came across this while looking for literature on urban and apartment gardening (which I've found here!) because I would like to be prepared as much as possible for these next few years; plus, I've missed having a green thumb.

I recommend buying books like these as well as downloading videos on food gardening and small-scale farming, especially in ways that benefit the ecosystem.

Butcher and Process

The main work of the day was running some errands with my son's roommate (we both needed some things at Tractor Supply) and then processing the meat that we deboned yesterday. I had a terrible time with my meat grinder last time I used it, but then realized there was a knob on the side that didn't get tightened down as much as it needed.

With him chopping the goat meat and beef suet and me running the grinder and sprinkling seasonings, we made short work of about 8 pounds of loose sausage. He then helped me clean up the mess, bless his heart, and took the meat home freeze some of it and also to start making dinner!

I roasted a small section, with bacon draped over it. It was ok in taste, but not tender as I'd want. A learning experience. Since we also had baked potatoes and green beans from the garden, and apple sauce from the orchard, it was a full meal from the farm.

The dogs all got wonderful, delightful bones earlier in the day. They were all happy, but Rosalie was particularly in heaven. I left her tied under the beech tree, surrounded by cozy leaves and gnawing blissfully on the bone. I'm reasonably sure she had never had one in her life until she came here.

Indore and Udaipur have achieved the remarkable distinction of becoming India’s first internationally recognized wetland-accredited cities under the Ramsar Convention. This prestigious recognition highlights their unwavering commitment to conserving and sustainably managing wetlands, ensuring a balance between urban development and ecological preservation.

Wetland-accredited cities are those that protect and maintain wetlands, vital ecosystems that provide essential environmental and community services. Accreditation is granted to cities that meet six stringent international criteria focused on the conservation of wetland ecosystems, sustainable urban planning, and ecosystem service protection.

Globally, China leads with 22 accredited cities, followed by France with 9, showcasing the growing integration of wetland conservation into urban development. With over 2,400 Ramsar Sites worldwide, covering more than 2.5 million square kilometers, and 85 wetlands protected under the Ramsar Convention in India, this achievement by Indore and Udaipur serves as an inspiration for cities aiming to secure a sustainable future.

Harmony starts below the surface.

Adding beneficial microbes like bacteria, fungi, and nematodes orchestrates a balanced soil ecosystem—but patience is key.

These tiny microbes need time to repopulate and find their rhythm. Rushing only disrupts the balance that ensures thriving plants.

🦠 Key Players in Soil Health:

Rhizobia: Nitrogen-fixing root nodule residents.

Mycorrhizal Fungi: Extend roots to access nutrients.

Actinobacteria: Break down organic matter.

Protozoa: Unlock nitrogen by consuming bacteria.

Nematodes: Manage pests and transport microbes.

Harnessing technology: The future of precision agriculture

By Vyankatesh Sharma, CEO and Founder, NEEL-INITIATIVE

In today’s fast-paced digital age, agriculture is no longer confined to traditional tools and methods. The industry is witnessing an unprecedented transformation, driven by cutting-edge technology, advanced artificial intelligence (AI), and innovative precision farming solutions. At NEEL-INITIATIVE, we are proud to lead this evolution, empowering farmers worldwide with high-tech agricultural machinery that redefines farming as a sustainable and rewarding lifestyle.

As the CEO and founder of NEEL-INITIATIVE, I am passionate about leveraging technology to revolutionize agriculture. Our mission is clear: to enhance productivity, reduce resource wastage, and provide farmers with a lifestyle worth living through state-of-the-art solutions tailored for modern needs.

The Agricultural Revolution

The agriculture industry is at the crossroads of change, with global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and a rapidly growing population demanding innovative solutions. By 2050, the world will need to produce 70% more food to sustain nearly 10 billion people. Traditional farming techniques cannot meet this demand alone.

This is where precision agriculture comes in—a game-changing approach that uses technology to maximize efficiency, enhance crop yields, and promote sustainable farming practices. Precision agriculture not only optimizes farming inputs but also ensures that resources like water, fertilizers, and pesticides are used judiciously.

The Role of Technology in Precision Farming
