Concerns over the health effects of chemicals in pesticides and fertilizers have led some farmers back to a natural (or organic) method of farming. Back in the good old days, everyone was an "organic" farmer. The problem with today's "organic" labelling is that the definition and subsequent certification varies from region to region. Chances are that ancient Greeks and Romans didn't suffer from as many headaches from wine as we do today; with weaker immune systems and the addition of sulfites to wines as a preservative, we are far more prone to such allergic reactions. Since sulfites occur naturally in grape skins and stems, it's nearly impossible to find a sulfite-free wine; however, most wineries (organic and otherwise) add sulfites of some sort for shipping and preserving, a snag for...

The article explores male and female farmers' practices and attitudes towards different aspects of nature and resource use in the context of the Norwegian system of summer farming (seterbruk). This represents a new and unique arena for exploring gender relations, as summer fanning in Norway -in contrast to many other European countries - has been an exclusively female arena. We ask whether men and women practice summer farming differently. We base our analysis on personal interviews with farmers and build upon some of the dimensions found in theories of the 'female principle' as conceptualized within feminism. Our main findings indicate that there are no evidential gender differences in attitudes and practices following the logic of biological sex, when considering nature and resource m...
