Green stuff

I get the digital Christian Science Monitor, mainly because it has lots of background stories, not the usual "if it bleeds it leads" stuff, and although it is on line free, by downloading, I can read it at my leisure (our internet isn't always reliable).

They've had a bunch of articles on agriculture/ecology lately.

This is on Cambodia implementing the green revolution and becoming a rice exporter.

This one
is about Mozambique, where a farmer is replacing traditional forest destroying "slash and burn" agriculture with organic methods.

And this one is about making beautiful but tiny gardens for enjoyment.

On the other hand, they have the population explosion "we're all gonna die" folks HERE...I have some of their books from the 1970's...they're the same folks still saying the same things...
