Poor people living in difficult conditions can easily produce fresh food by gardening on sacks. It can be recommended to create tunnels with drought-tolerant Navajo willows to improve the gardening conditions (shadow, air humidity). More yield equals less poverty and less desertification.
Mycorrhizae is best known as a symbiotic relationship between the naturally occurring fungi in the soil, and a host’s plants root system. Mycorrhizae fungi can be found in about 99% of all living plants and makes up one of the most important elements in a, healthy, complex soil food web. Visit- http://www.stoverseed.com

Gardening with Less Water: Low-Tech, Low-Cost Techniques; Use up to 90% Less ...umer878931
Gardening with less water involves using low-tech, low-cost techniques to reduce water usage in gardening. By implementing these techniques, gardeners can save up to 90% of water compared to traditional gardening methods, while still maintaining healthy and productive plants.
Families in rural Guatemala working to improve their food supply and nutrition for their children need help in protecting their gardens from damage from thunderously heavy rains.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Crossposted from the Worldwatch Institute’s Nourishing the Planet.
We think of deserts as dry wastelands incapable of food production. Surprisingly, there is often enough rainfall to support vegetation.
The problem is that most of this water falls only over the course of one week and pools in aquifers a meter below the surface. A tree
with a developed root system can survive from these aquifers, but seedlings need consistent moisture at the surface in order to fuel
root growth toward these water sources. A week of rain simply isn’t enough. And if you dig deep enough to reach the water table,
you destroy the natural capillaries in the soil that act as a permeable boundary to support the seed and transfer water.
Nature is full of examples of efficient solutions, and an unlikely model for success
in retaining this moisture has been found in bird feces. When a bird consumes a
seed and excretes it onto the dry soil of a desert, its excrement serves as a
retention system for moisture, allowing roots to grow. The nascent root systems
immediately begins penetrating the soil and growing toward the water below.
The vital role that bird excrement plays in the germination of plant seeds is the
central inspiration for the Groasis, a deceptively simple invention that promises to
revolutionize aforestation efforts in arid climates.
The Groasis uses incubation to deliver water over a time-period in tune with a
seedling’s demand for water. Any precipitation from rainfall or evening
condensation is collected from the fan-shaped roof of the device and stored in
evaporation-proof containers. A small wick delivers a steady flow of water to the
plant, gradually creating a water column in the soil to support long-term growth.
The water also regulates the plant’s temperature, cooling it in the day-time heat
and insulating it at night. When the plant is around two feet tall, it has already
established a robust root system and can survive un-aided in the harsh climate.
AquaPro, the company behind the Groasis, has developed mechanized equipment to implement this growing system for large-scale
rehabilitation projects. In 2010 alone there were fifteen aforestation projects in Kenya, the United States, France and Spain that used
the Groasis to help deal with strip-mining rehabilitation, desertification, and other problems.
