Greg Luce discusses several factors impacting crop yields in the Midwest, including weather, fertility, and lack of pushing parameters. Breeding over the past 20 years has increased drought tolerance in corn and improved pest resistance in soybeans. Luce believes 150 bushel beans and 400 bushel corn are obtainable, having seen yields near those levels on Kip Cullers' farm. Key factors for high yields include irrigation, solid fertility, good drainage, high-yielding genetics, and protecting yields with insecticides and fungicides. Nutrient use efficiency may not be compromised at super high yield levels if hybrids are more stress tolerant.

Part 2 of Dairy Story

1) The East River Dairy Farm in New York milks 1,000 cows from four family farms. While one family used to have cattle, the farmer says dairy farming is more profitable, bringing in over 12% of income. 2) Organic dairy farms have more stable pricing than conventional farms and are cushioned against fluctuations in milk prices. They receive a base price along with incentives for milk quality. 3) The yogurt industry has increased demand for milk in New York, which is the top yogurt producing state. However, the number of dairy farms in Cortland County has decreased in recent years due to economic challenges including fluctuations in milk prices.

The document discusses sustainability issues related to consumer goods. It notes that each year, 47 billion items are purchased but 80% of items are used less than once per month.

It proposes an alternative model of buying, using, repairing, and reselling items to extend their lifetime use and reduce emissions.

This document summarizes a presentation on the future of living spaces and workplaces given at Sustainable Brands London in November 2015. The presentation discusses research that identifies different consumer attitudes towards sustainability and circular concepts. It also outlines several emerging trends, like the squeeze on living space in urban areas, the blurring of work and personal life, the rise of responsive smart home technologies, community-focused "maker" movements, and a growing focus on zero waste solutions. These underlying technological and social changes are creating more opportunities for sustainable living than can be achieved through messaging alone. The presentation argues that businesses should focus on aligning with these emerging needs rather than just "selling sustainability."
