Posted on by

“We are happy to see the progress of Doug Bell’s project, as he is offering an alternative to securities investing and one that is an unusual asset class. Uruguay itself, meanwhile, continues to attract attention and was recently named the ‘country of the year’ by the Economist magazine. Often called the Switzerland of South America, it is being reported that there are forces at work trying to develop Uruguay into a kind of Latin American Silicon Valley that will draw clients from Europe.  The definitive change that is coming to Uruguay will happen because of the recent legalization of marijuana. In the meantime, Uruguay will continue to be known for its organic produce and meats.”

The Shocking Ingredients In Beer

Posted on by

“Is beer really healthy? Why are the ingredients not listed on the label? Which brands can we trust? Which brands are trying to slowly poison us with cheap and harmful ingredients? All of these questions were going through my head at once at lightning speed. So a year ago, I started to research what was really in beer and after questioning several beer companies, reading books about food science, and talking to experts, the information I discovered was downright shocking.  I see it all the time. Someone who eats organic, makes the right choices at the grocery store, is fit and lives an extraordinarily healthy lifestyle but then drinks beer like it is going out of style.”

The Catastrophe of Modern Farming: A Full-Fledged Organic Opportunity

Posted on by

the-daily-bell-top-logo61

“Organic farming is a great way to diversify one’s portfolio with tangible assets producing an essential product with returns that correlate only weakly with stocks and bonds. Many are aware of the controversy regarding Monsanto and the general reshaping of foodstuffs using modern tools of bioengineering. There is certainly enough concern to make organic farming attractive from both a consumer and investment standpoint. The numbers back it up. The industry is now grossing about $63 billion globally. According to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM), the industry grew an amazing 170%, averaging about 19% per year over the past decade.”

Pay in Bitcoin for a Plot in Chilean Libertarian Paradise

Posted on by

“The land is home to abundant supply of fresh clean water, sourced from over fifty wells, two underground aquifers, canals, two rivers, a manmade lake and a number of natural springs.  Ken Johnson, managing partner of the Galt’s Gulch Chile project, said: ‘We chose Chile for its economic freedoms, as well as its freedom in general.’ There is a 250-acre farm on the recently purchased land, which is being subdivided into five 25-acre lemon orchards and a 125-acre Galt’s Gulch Organic Farm. The community will use the farm to grow pesticide-free and non-GMO vegetables, fruits, nuts and spices, which will be sold worldwide under the brand Galt’s Gulch Organics.”

City passes new ordinance, uproots FL couple’s 17-year-old garden

Posted on by

“For the past 17 years they’ve grown a garden in the front yard of their modest South Florida home. The backyard, they say, doesn’t get enough sunlight.  But in May, the city put the couple’s garden, and any others like it, in their legal crosshairs.  A new zoning ordinance designed to ‘protect the distinctive character of the Miami Shores Village,’ was enacted and specifically prohibited vegetables – not fruit, trees or even plastic flamingos – from appearing in front yards.  Shortly after, the couple received a visit from their local code enforcement officer. They were given two choices: Uproot the garden or pay a $50 per day fine to keep it.“

Have Bitcoin To Burn? Next Stop Could Be The Farm

Posted on by

“One farm open to the idea is La Nay Ferme in Provo, Utah.  Owner Clinton Felsted says he began using bitcoin when a crew for the documentary Life on Bitcoin approached him about accepting the currency. Now he’s working on a more user-friendly bitcoin payment method that should be up and running by February for consumers buying his fruits and vegetables.  Bitcoin is most popular in the U.S., but farmers outside the U.S. are warming to it as well. One of the first to sell greens in exchange for virtual currency lives in Argentina.”

Farmers help bitcoin grow organically in Argentina

Posted on by

“Organic farmers in Argentina are finding bitcoin to be a compelling solution when selling their produce through a website called Tierra Buena. The website has been highlighted in a new short film by Jacob Hansen. The film tells the story of how Nubis Bruno (one of the people behind the exchange site, Conectabitcoin) helped local farmers by creating the website as a means to sell their produce online in exchange for bitcoin or litecoin (and Pesos). The existence of Tierra Buena doesn’t signal a pending economic revolution in Argentina, or anywhere else. However, it is a great anecdote of how digital currencies can be genuinely helpful.”

Light-up Nation: What Israel can teach America about medical marijuana

Posted on by

“Israeli lawmakers continue to classify marijuana as a dangerous and illegal drug. The national police force has waged a decades-long drug war against marijuana and hashish smuggled in from Lebanon and Egypt. But beginning in 1995 — when an Israeli government committee recommended that medical cannabis be legally distributed to the sick — a determined set of activists, scientists and politicians have nurtured a small, secure medical-cannabis program that might be just rigid enough to survive where other international efforts have unraveled.”
