Episode 5 of 21: Cane and beans- It is a crop rotation strategy, not a cocktail.

In this podcast episode of ‘We’ve Bean around the Block’ host Antony Jarvie joins up with sugar cane extension specialist Dave Wilkinson to discuss the prospects of Sugar cane – Sugar bean rotation. In an industry that is threatened by oversupply and a need for diversification, sugar cane growers are looking for a suitable rotation crop that will fit into their cropping cycles. The sugar cane area of adaptation is subset of the area of adaptation of dry beans. Commercially, most of the country’s bean crop is grown on the highveld, but dry beans are well suited to planting in the warmer ‘cane areas’ areas with later planting dates. The potential problems for cane-bean rotations are discussed, including the probability of herbicide residues. The steep slopes of coastal sugar cane crops make that area less accessible to mechanized bean planting and harvesting, but around 70% of the cane in the KZN midlands region would have suitable slopes for mechanized production. Cane farmers as a group are not exposed to the intricacies of disposing of their crop on the free market, so getting involved in bean grain sales may provide a challenge to some. One of the solutions offered on this podcast is for cane producers to ‘twin’ their bean production with a current bean producer from the highveld production areas, thereby offering risk mitigation to both groups. The bean industry in South Africa desperately needs to raise hectarage to compete for research and input supplier attention and rotating cane with beans would thus serve both industries. 

In this episode, we read our very first story from a boozarino! I purchased two beautifully crafted masks from @made.by.lauren.b (IG), and when they arrived I discovered a lengthy hand-written letter from Lauren.  Her letter quickly opened our eyes to the horrors of the textile and fashion industries, and Hillary and I soon found ourselves deep down the rabbit hole of research about fast fashion and its effects on people and the planet. These industries produce so much waste, toxic pollution, and human suffering, so Lauren has made it an act of resistance to produce masks using entirely reclaimed materials.

Tune in to learn more! 


Here is a little bit of information about Lauren's masks, taken from her shop:

https://laurenb-102559.square.site/s/shop


-------+ MASK SPECS +-------

• Made from 100% COTTON fabric
• Comes with sewn-in adjustable padded metal nosepiece
• Each mask has a unique interior (( we always use dark and/or patterned cotton for the main mouth covering. Lipstick exists, we can all get in a hurry, & the last thing we want to do is make your life more difficult. ))
• Stretch jersey tie-back cord
• Double-wall construction includes a filter pocket.
• Each mask is handmade from reclaimed materials (and magic, maybe) in Chicago, Illinois!

-------+ RECLAIMED MATERIALS, you say? +-------

Lauren is ... especially good at sourcing second-hand materials. With years of experience using reclaimed materials & salvaged fabric, Lauren is a textile wizard. We absolutely do source fabric from thrift stores & individual resellers but the more we can avoid venturing into risky public spaces, the better (and SAFER).

Between dye-ing, screen-printing, & other fancy tricks, the finished product looks pretty uniform. We focus on comfort & practicality for the lining fabrics. Varying the lining colors allows us to up-cycle fabric as needed. Changing up the lining colors also makes it infinitely easier for YOU to keep track of clean vs. dirty masks.

...but why? seems like a huge pain.

Lauren is thoroughly committed to using second-hand as much as possible. Down to the thread, machines, needles, etc.. It CAN be difficult & laborious to take these steps. That's why you pay us to take those steps so you don't have to.

This ethos applies to everything Lauren makes! (Lauren has been low key patiently waiting for the barter economy to emerge from the ashes of lat

A gripping story about quail chicks today! Also general ramblings on building a writing habit, taking time off from it, and the difference between letting a field lie fallow and having it become a fetid swamp.

The quote I mention is this one by Mark Rutherford: There is in each of us an upwelling spring of life, energy, love, whatever you like to call it. If a course is not cut for it, it turns the ground around it into a swamp.

Grain on the Brain is a podcast of the Prairie Organic Grain Initiative

Join our host Scott Beaton in conversation with organic grain expert Joanne Thiessen Martens to talk about taking soil samples and plant tissue samples. Learn when to take sample, how to take the sample, where to send your samples and how to interpret the results. Sampling and testing can help you understand what's happening on your farm and make management decisions or interventions if required. In organic systems, mainstream soil tests might not capture everything that you need to know to make management decisions and by adding plant tissue samples it can give you a better picture of what's happening in your fields.

Bio: Joanne Thiessen Martens grew up on a small mixed farm at Austin, Manitoba. She earned a B. Sc. In Agroecology at the University of Manitoba in 1999 and has since been working in the area of sustainable and ecological agriculture. For much of this time, Joanne has been a part of Dr. Martin Entz’s research team in the Department of Plant Science at the University of Manitoba. Her recent areas of focus include cover cropping, integrated crop-livestock systems, and farming systems design.

FIDE (Friends of Developement) wird seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren vom entwicklungspolitischen Verein „Erklärung von Graz“ unterstützt.

FIDE supports local, rural communities in agroforestry facing erosion, crop-rotation fighting degradation of soil, strengthening terraces, watersupply, producing biogas for heating and lights, dairy farming and basically health related issues like nutrition.

FIDE vermittelt das Wissen um Aufforstungen gegen Bodenerosion, Fruchtwechsel gegen Auslaugen der Nährstoffe, Terassenbau, Wasserversorgung, Biogasanlagen für Beleuchtung und Kochen, die Milchwirtschaft wird gestärkt, genauso wie die Gesundheit im umfassenden Sinn (von der Ernährung bis zur AIDS Prävention)…

FIDE installs „Knowledge-Managementteams“, multipliers in the villages, who circulate the information. Their focus activities are bases in Manyare-Region in the District of Babati. Since the 1990’s FIDE supported 12000 people in trainings, qualification and concrete action.

Dabei setzt FIDE auf „Wissensmanagementteams“, MultiplikatorInnen in den Dörfern, die das Wissen weitergeben. Schwerpunkt der Aktivitäten ist die Region Manyara im Distrikt Babati. Seit den 1990er Jahren konnte FIDE 12000 Menschen mit Ausbildung, Training  und konkreter Tat erreichen.

We spoke about the activities of FIDE, but also we referred on the political situation in Tansania and spoke about the role of women and children in rural developement.
