Buy foods from nearby farms and have that food served in the cafeteria.
If government is so keen to let local people have a veto in stopping wind farms, why does it not allow local people to say no to fracking?
I have a tough stomach, and I’ve put myself through a lot. But when I first found out what happens to animals on modern factory farms and in today’s slaughterhouses, I wanted to throw up – I literally couldn’t believe it.
New Jersey is the most poetic state: close enough to New York to be urban and cosmopolitan, far enough to be desirous and unsure; densely populated, but full of farms and woods, with the most deer of any state.
Our commitment to serving produce from local farms and other sustainable sources is one of the ways we are changing the way people think about and eat fast food.
That’s what I want to do when I finish fighting – build urban farms and learn how to become a farmer, because that’s what I wanted to be when I was a little girl.
As I grew older, farms in Kentucky provided me with many jobs in hauling hay and in cutting tobacco. In addition to helping fund my college years, these jobs helped me to meet an array of very interesting and amazing men and women.
There’s nothing humane about the flesh of animals who have had one or two or even three improvements made in their singularly rotten lives on today’s factory farms.
Deng Xiaoping made a calculation. He bet on demographics. What he knew was that China had this enormous population of young, underemployed people, people who he could move from the farms to the coast and put them to work in factories, and that would be the lifeblood of China’s economy.
My house borders horse farms, and I can look out my window and see the horses and the new colts. It’s really peaceful.
I’m very concerned that a lot of our land is being taken up with solar farms.
Food production has affected the environment more than any other activity humans have engaged in. Humanity devotes more land to food production than anything else – roughly a third of the surface area of the earth, much of which was once forest but has been converted by humans into farms or grazing lands.
I’m from a very, very rural place. There’s really nobody out there, just roads and farms.
I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm.
I have a night job driving tractors on biomass farms.
Spring starts in January in the Ozarks, lurches on in a complicated way, with spurts and setbacks, until May. Then, early in May, there is a cold spell known as blackberry winter because it comes when blackberries bloom. It is a worrisome week for anyone who farms.
In the five years from 2007 to 2012, we only gained a little over 1,200 farmers. Since we aren’t going to stop eating, we have to reverse that trend, or we’ll see even more consolidation, more corporate farms, or increasing food imports; none of that is in our interest.
Create a garden; bring children to farms for field trips. I think it’s important that parents and teachers get together to do one or two things they can accomplish well – a teaching garden, connecting with farms nearby, weave food into the curriculum.
We lived on isolated farms and ranches, far from anybody, and when I was young I knew very few other kids, so I lived to a great extent in my imagination.
Square Roots creates campuses of climate-controlled, indoor, hydroponic vertical farms, right in the hearts of our biggest cities.
Streaming is something that’s going to require tons of billions of dollars of investment, building server farms close to users and 5G and everything else.
It was exciting putting hundreds of millions of dollars to work buying and building wind farms in Texas.
Make the choice, if you can, to get milk direct from farms or farm drop services. We need the supermarkets, of course we do, but we need our farmers, too.
The Death Tax destroys American jobs and cripples small businesses and family farms.
If solar and wind farms are needed to protect the natural environment, why do they so often destroy it?
I know that organic farms can be industrial and just as large and impersonal as conventional farms. Sometimes the free-range chickens aren’t even allowed outside, and so they cluck-walk packed tight in a dim lit barn. But organic farms use fewer chemicals.
Memphis is a vibrant and diverse city that is on the verge of a Real Food renaissance. We are more than thrilled to be part of that movement by investing in the Crosstown and Shelby Farms Park developments.
I grew up in Swaledale, in Iowa. Its population was 220 when I was growing up, and it’s probably 150 now. I lived in town and sometimes worked on the farms outside of town in the summers.
I grew up like a lot of country boys and girls do – amongst the pine trees, dirt roads, farms, mules and people who were real.
I grew up in a neighborhood that was surrounded by farms. There was a horse farm behind me and dairy farms on either side.
