Baby nasturtium leaves are too stinkin CUTE!!!

Nasturtiums are a beautiful, EDIBLE vining flower. They have bright orange flowers that look kinda like large pansies, with a bright peppery taste to match. They're a tasty garnish in salads, sandwiches, soups, etc!

If that's not enough, they're also great at repelling pests in the garden, so they're best planted as companions around your crops!

How Does Plant Breeding Work? And What Are F1 Hybrids?

Plant breeding is an age-old science, deeply rooted in the quest to enhance crop quality, yield, and resilience. Whether you’re a farmer aiming to improve your harvest or a curious gardener fascinated by the diversity of plant varieties, understanding how plant breeding works—and what F1 hybrids are—offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of agricultural innovation. Let’s break it down step…

ABOUT THIS BLOG ! :3

What is this blog about?

This blog is a project for my agricultural science class! On this blog, I will post drawings I make that are like information posters on numerous topics regarding nature and agriculture. Some examples would be how to grow certain plants, what you can do with different fruits and vegetables alongside how to grow them, information on animals and more! I’ve always had a passion for art and wanted to be more active on Tumblr, so I’m very glad I get such an opportunity to post my art and I’m very grateful for my teacher for allowing this.

ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON MY ART OR POSTS WILL RESULT IN A BLOCK AND REMOVAL OF YOUR COMMENT.

* P.S ; I’ve included a requests box in case you wanna learn about a certain animal, plant, fruit or anything agriculture related!

Who runs this blog?

I do! I go by Chlaudie ScKies on this blog since she’s is the mascot I created. I am in my final year of middle school and trying to make the best of it! I use they/she pronouns. My hobbies include cooking, drawing, swimming, researching on various topics and more! My favorite thing to cook is anything with pasta, but I am a picky eater! My favorite artists are Mitski, Rio Romeo, Mommy Long Legs and MCR. I hope to make some friends on here and for my blog to grow a bit! If you have any questions regarding this blog, shoot me a message!

Chlaudie ScKies

This is just some information on the mascot of this blog!

Chlaudie is a 12-year-old gardener who’s homeschooled! She is Mexican and Peruvian with very tight curls. She’s very curious and bubbly! Her name is a pun because she loves the rain!

Why India’s Green Revolution isn’t a blueprint to feed a hungry planet

Feeding a growing world population has been a serious concern for decades, but today there are new causes for alarm. Floods, heat waves and other weather extremes are making agriculture increasingly precarious, especially in the Global South. The war in Ukraine is also a factor. Russia is blockading Ukrainian grain exports, and fertilizer prices have surged because of trade sanctions on Russia,…

Trump may be about to sign the death sentence of the National Institute of Health, and, by extension, the Office of Lab Animal Welfare.

He gutted research animal protections.

Any vertebrate that isn't a mammal will have no rights.

Neither will mice or rats.

If NIH grants are stopped, researchers can't pay anyone. They can't perform research. They can't pay for veterinary services.

They won't be required to provide veterinary services.

The only medical research that will happen will be self funded by big pharma, and they can torture the animals and skew all the lab results that they want.

Just like Musk did to the primates in his neuralink research.

I don't know what's going to happen to me or anyone else at the university where I work. My job is to make sure the animals are treated humanely and to provide veterinary care. I'm especially scared about what's going to happen to those research animals if veterinary staff gets laid off. The USDA only covers mammals, and it doesn't even cover all of them. Every rat I've ever made a tiny paper gift box full of marshmallows for, every mouse I've ever watched grow up, every rodent I've ever separated from an aggressive dominant brother and then treated their tiny wounds, they have no protections if NIH goes down. Decades of research into humane handling, euthanasia, and animal behavior will be tossed aside and wasted.

Please, do everything you can. Protest. Contact your representatives. Anything you can do. Do it for science, for medicine, for people's lives, for people's jobs, and for the animals.

ASC2023: 16वें कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस का होने जा रहा है आयोजन, जानिए कहां करें रजिस्ट्रेशन

इस बार क्या है 16वें कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस की थीम और क्या है ख़ास?

कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस का लक्ष्य दुनिया भर के प्रमुख शिक्षाविदों, शोधकर्ताओं, छात्रों, किसानों, उद्यमियों जैसे वर्गों को एक साथ लाना है। ताकि वो कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों के सभी विषयों पर अपने शोध निष्कर्��ों, विचारों और अनुभवों का एक दूसरे के साथ साझा कर सकें।

16वां कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस (ASC) 10 से 13 अक्टूबर 2023 तक कोची में आयोजित होगा। राष्ट्रीय कृषि विज्ञान अकादमी (National Academy of Agricultural Sciences), नई दिल्ली की ओर से ये कार्यक्रम आयोजित किया जाएगा। इसकी मेज़बानी भारतीय कृषि अनुसंधान परिषद्-केंद्रीय समुद्री मात्स्यिकी अनुसंधान ���ंस्थान (ICAR-CMFRI) करेगा। इस बार कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस की थीम “सतत विकास लक्ष्यों (SDG) को प्राप्त करने के लिए कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों का परिवर्तन” पर केंद्रित है।

कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस का क्या है लक्ष्य?

कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस का लक्ष्य दुनिया भर के प्रमुख शिक्षाविदों, शोधकर्ताओं, छात्रों, किसानों, उद्यमियों जैसे वर्गों को एक साथ लाना है। ताकि वो कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों के सभी विषयों पर अपने शोध निष्कर्षों, विचारों और अनुभवों का एक दूसरे के साथ साझा कर सकें।

इन्हीं सभी बातों को ध्यान में रखते हुए कृषि विज्ञान कांग्रेस में प्रतिनिधियों और प्रतिभागियों को कृषि और उससे जुड़े सभी विषयों के मुद्दों जैसे भूमि और पानी की स्थिरता, कृषि उत्पादन प्रणालियों, उत्पादों, कृषि मशीनरी, अर्थशास्त्र, नवीकरणीय और वैकल्पिक ऊर्जा, प्रिसिजन फार्मिंग, वैकल्पिक खेती प्रणाली, तटीय कृषि, आने वाली पीढ़ियों में प्रौद्योगिकियां जैसे विषयों पर अपने विचारों को रखने के लिए पर्याप्त अवसर दिया जाएगा।

इन विषयों पर होगी मुख्य चर्चा:

खाद्य एवं पोषण सुरक्षा सुनिश्चित करना: उत्पादन, उपभोग और मूल्यवर्धन

टिकाऊ कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों के लिए जलवायु कार्र��ाई

सीमांत विज्ञान और उभरती आनुवंशिक प्रौद्योगिकियाँ: जीनोम प्रजनन, जीन संपादन

खाद्य प्रणालियों का पशुधन आधारित परिवर्तन

खाद्य प्रणालियों का बागवानी आधारित परिवर्तन

जलीय कृषि एवं मत्स्य पालन आधारित खाद्य प्रणालियों का परिवर्तन

सतत कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों के लिए प्रकृति-आधारित समाधान

अगली पीढ़ी की प्रौद्योगिकियाँ: डिजिटल कृषि, सटीक खेती और एआई-आधारित प्रणालियाँ

कृषि-खाद्य प्रणालियों को बदलने के लिए नीतियां और संस्थान

अनुसंधान, शिक्षा और विकास के लिए अंतर्राष्ट्रीय भागीदारी

The Food Sovereignty Revolution, Right Down the Street

Lemme get on a soapbox really quick about Community Gardens. Because home farms are one thing, local farms are one thing, but nothing can bring people together and inspire confidence like a community garden. 

Starting to grow your own food can be a daunting task, with a lot of conflicting information, and it can be difficult when you don’t have the land you need. Having an accessible area for people of all walks of life to come together and experience the trials of food growing makes it easier to inspire people to overcome the learning curve. 

I found a nice resource in finding local community gardens by you if you'd like to participate this summer. I also HIGHLY recommend reaching out to anyone you know from Churches, Parks, Schools, Recreation Centers, and other public spaces, and ask them if gardens can be added to their possible developments. I have a few resources on my website for the importance of these gardens if you want to learn more, or send them to people you are trying to convince. It is extremely important that people understand how beneficial this can be for themselves, and their people.
