After a long hiatus, Crumb Trail is back on the air, crochety as ever, on organic agriculture

Organic
agriculture is based on ignorance, and that’s a shame because an
informed agriculture that avoids truly dangerous chemicals and
cultivation techniques that degrade land is not that difficult or
expensive. With population expected to reach half again as many people
as there are today we don’t have enough land to humor quasi-religious
superstitions about agriculture

conservation

But the authors found that virtually all indigenous lands substantially
inhibit deforestation up to 400 years after contact with the national
society. There was no correlation between population density in
indigenous areas and inhibition of deforestation. In much of the
Amazon, not only can protecting nature be reconciled with human
habitation – it wouldn’t happen without the people

and mental health

Mental exercise. It’s not just for kids.

Research from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) provides the
most convincing evidence to date that complex mental activity across
people’s lives significantly reduces the risk of dementia. The
researchers found that such activity almost halves the incidence of
dementia. . .
