Federal and state teams arrest people at gunpoint, destroy food, and seize assets—all because they’re afraid of unpasteurized milk and cheese. Please don’t let them trample the Constitution this way—a new Action Alert! On August 2, there was an armed raid on Rawesome Foods in Venice, California, conducted jointly by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office, the FDA, the Department of Agriculture, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. You may recall that we reported about a similar FDA raid on the same co-op last year. Mike Adams, editor of NaturalNews.com, broke the story last week, and we thank him for his excellent and continuing coverage of this issue. He reports that armed teams were deployed with guns drawn, law enforcement ordered all co-op members out of the store, seized all the cash in the register, then handcuffed the co-op’s founder, James Stewart, and placed him in an unmarked car without reading him hist rights.
The public has responded with outrage. Welcome to 3p | Triple Pundit: People, Planet, Profit. SXSW Eco. Food and Agriculture. National Organic Coalition. Sustainable Agriculture -- A New Vision. We need a system of agriculture that meets our needs now and for future generations – and that means producing food in a way that can work indefinitely without degrading our health or the natural "life support systems" we depend on. But too often today, decisions are driven by short-term thinking and profits, rather than by a vision of the agriculture system that will best meet our needs in the long-term. Changing agriculture in ways that make it more sustainable is a big challenge, but it can be done.
Essential to accomplishing change is knowing where we are and where we want to go. Below are snapshots of the industrial present and a sustainable future for one agricultural region—the Midwest. Similar snapshots of agriculture in North Carolina or California would be different in terms of crops and climate, as well as in the history and culture of the region. The Present Imagine driving across the northern half of the state of Iowa. Why does northern Iowa look like this? The Future. AB 361 (Huffman): Benefit corporations.

B Corporation. Freelancers Insurance Company Freelancers Insurance Company (FIC) is a first-of-its kind, social-purpose insurance company whose sole mission is to provide affordable, portable health insurance to independent workers.
FIC uses market-based solutions to meet a social need, and draws upon the collective strength of its community to build a sustainable institution that can meet its members' needs over the long-term. Despite the fact that one-third of all working Americans are independent workers - freelancers, independent contractors, temps, and self employed - they lack many of the basic supports and protections provided to traditional employees, most notably health insurance. Based in Brooklyn, NY, FIC insures nearly 25,000 New Yorkers who otherwise have no affordable options, at roughly one-third the price of comparable plans on the individual market.

A Sculptor's Natural Habitat: The Elfin Forest - voiceofsandiego.org: Behind The Scene: The Art And Drama Of Making Art In San Diego. To find sculptor Anne Mudge, you need to travel far from the arty enclaves of San Diego’s Little Italy or East Village and drive all the way to Elfin Forest, a rural community outside Escondido’s city limits. Mudge shares a trailer next to a seed farm with her husband, nurseryman Gilbert Foerster, and their dog, a border collie mix named Bandit. Her small trailer home and art studio — 600 square feet and 400 square feet, respectively — are nestled toward the end of a rutted dirt road, surrounded by fields and hills.
There’s no street sign. No traffic, either. “I sometimes go for days without talking to outsiders,” Mudge says. Mudge, 59, describes herself as a hermit. The contrast energizes her. “I really need to mix with the world more and humanize these brutal spaces,” she says. Mudge is part of the assortment of local artists who create murals and sculptures to be integrated into public buildings and thoroughfares. Mudge says public art is an important piece of a community’s vitality. The Trust for Public Land - Charity Ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions. What is the Commission’s jurisdiction? The California State Lands Commission (Commission) has jurisdiction and management control over certain public lands of the State that were received by the State from the United States. These lands are of two distinct types - sovereign and school lands. Sovereign Lands When California became a state in 1850, it acquired approximately four million acres of land underlying the State’s navigable and tidal waterways.
Known as sovereign lands, these lands include the beds of California’s navigable rivers, lakes and streams, as well as the state’s tide and submerged lands along the State’s more than 1,100 miles of coastline and offshore islands from the mean high tide line to three nautical miles offshore. The Commission holds its sovereign lands for the benefit of all the people of the State, subject to the Public Trust for water related commerce, navigation, fisheries, recreation, open space and other recognized Public Trust uses.
