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...

If our goal is to maintain the habitability of the planet, the most dramatically effective action we could take would be to reduce our meat eating. Removing a ton of methane from the atmosphere is like removing 23 tons of CO2; a ton of nitrous oxide saved is worth 296 tons of CO2. And that's just for starters. Though respiration and photosynthesis might be in approximate balance on a given pasture, the massive clearing of forest for pasturage, especially in the Amazon, is vastly reducing the planet's capacity for carbon absorption. Eating less beef may be the only way to douse the flames in the rainforest. How disconcerting to read the smug attitude of Jared Carlberg in his response to John Youngman's Article, First it was pigs, now it's chickens (Feb. 16). Shifting through all of the r...

Liberation Nuts, based in Albuquerque, N.M., says that it is "helping people trade their way out of poverty and change an unfair trading system, one nut at a time!" This company works with smallholder producer co-operatives in Asia, Africa and Latin America that represent more than 22,000 shareholder growers in their operation. The challenges now, says the ACA, are to organize the sector to maximize earnings, to get involved in the value added side of the business, rather than sending raw product to other countries (Brazil, India) for processing and packaging, to develop appropriate technology to increase production and processing, and to better promote cashews as a health food.

The reason is massive and unregulated use of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals in India's most intensively farmed state. According to an environmental report by Punjab's government, the modest-sized state accounts for 17 per cent of India's total pesticide use. The state's water, people, animals, milk and agricultural produce are all poisoned with the stuff. Punjab was the totemic success of India's green revolution, a leap forward in agricultural productivity during the 1960s and 1970s that ended the subcontinent's periodic famines. It was based on the introduction of a few simple technologies -- including artificial fertilizers, pesticides and better seeds. In Punjab, especially, the benefits were massive. Punjab, the most stunning example of the green revolution in India, ...

A major debate neglected by accounting historians is the importance of landlords in the English agricultural revolution. Accounting evidence from the historical literature is used to test Marx's theory that, from around 1750, England's landlords played a pivotal role by adopting and then spreading the capitalist mentality and social relations by enclosures and changes in the management of their estates and tenants. It gives an accounting interpretation of Marx's theory of rent and argues that the available evidence supports his view that the conversion of English landlords to capitalism underlay the later stages of the agricultural revolution. The conclusion explains the linkages in Marx's theory between the agricultural and industrial revolutions and calls on accounting historians to c...

From Christopher Columbus taking sugar from the Canary Islands back to Europe -- setting in motion the slave trade in sugar workers and sparking wars -- to its use in the processed and fast-food industry whose calories feed health concerns such as type 2 diabetes, sugar's history has a bitter taste for [Elizabeth Abbott], the author of A History of Celibacy. The slave trade abolitionists, as an aside, included many of England's chocolate manufacturing families whose economic success rested in part on sugar availability and on cocoa, which itself was harvested in less than desirable working conditions, as Toronto journalist Carol Off detailed so well in her 2007 book, Bitter Chocolate: Investigating the Dark Side of the World's Most Seductive Sweet.
