Wissensmanufaktur - Willkommen bei der Wissensmanufaktur - Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung und Gesellschaftspolitik Soil Restoration: 5 Core Principles – Eco-Farming Daily Soil restoration is the process of improving the structure, microbial life, nutrient density, and overall carbon levels of soil. Many human endeavors – conventional farming chief among them – have depleted the Earth to the extent that nutrient levels in almost every kind of food have fallen by between 10 and 100 percent in the past 70 years. Soil quality can improve dramatically, though, when farmers and gardeners maintain constant ground cover, increase microbe populations, encourage biological diversity, reduce the use of agricultural chemicals, and avoid tillage. Soil restoration begins with photosynthesis. The Power of Photosynthesis Imagine there was a process that could remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, replace it with life-giving oxygen, support a robust soil microbiome, regenerate topsoil, enhance the nutrient density of food, restore water balance to the landscape, and increase the profitability of agriculture.

How To Prepare For When Money Dies | ZeroHedge Doug Casey: Submitted by Casey Research An eye-opening interview with renowned speculator Doug Casey, conducted by Karen Roche and JT Long of The Gold Report. Doug explains why fiat currencies around the world are destined for collapse… and what investors can, and should, do to protect themselves. If dollar-dumping turns from a trickle into a flood, look out. The Gold Report: You've been talking about two ticking time bombs. Doug Casey: Both, but in sequence. Nobody knows the numbers for sure, but foreign central banks, and individuals outside the U.S., own U.S. dollars to the tune of something like $6 or $7 trillion. Some countries are already trying to get out of dollars, but it could become a panic if the selling goes from a trickle to a flood. TGR: If panic erupts on the U.S. dollar, would products manufactured in the U.S. become super-cheap or super-expensive? DC: They would become super-cheap. A strong currency is essential for a strong economy. DC: It doesn't have to last long at all. DC: No.
Progressive Pulse – Towards a Fairer Society Geldordnung und Finanzpolitik/Zins/Zinskritik-Kritik Einleitung Dies ist eine Ausarbeitung, die von dem Mitgliedern Piratos aka Tobias Deiters und Axel Grimm erstellt worden ist. Der im Text vorkommende Satz: "Daher ist auch die Vorstellung, dass der "fehlende Zins" im System zur Neuverschuldung führt, eindeutig widerlegbar." ist die Feststellung der Autoren und muss nicht mit dem allgemeingültiger Erkenntnisstand der AG Geldordnung und Finanzpolitik übereinstimmen. Am 17.04.2012 hat ein "Grillfest" zum Zins stattgefunden mit Pro- und Kontraposition. --Axel Grimm 15.05.2012 Ein Teil dieser Ausarbeitung wurde bereits als Mehrheitsmeinung der AG beschlossen. -- RedNose 09:43, 20.

7VORTEX: Systems Thinking Powered by Graph Technology By Miro Marchi, Consultant, GraphAware | October 10, 2017 The success of many enterprises greatly depends on their ability to gather useful information and process it in a timely manner. Automation is essential and so is presentation, giving tangible feedback, to decision makers. This is where technology reaches out to management, where science and design are combined to put the right people in the position of making better and more sustainable choices. Decision making is often a very complex task. Outcomes depend on a multitude of interactions between variables, actions, and actors at play in multiple contexts. A Journey to the Graph Hugo Araujo is an entrepreneur, a consultant and an expert in biomimicry, the imitation of well-tested patterns found in nature to solve human problems.

Slow Money brings slow food values to investing | Full Page Arno Hesse receives a check each month paying down the principal of a $5,000 loan he made to Soul Food Farm, an organic chicken farm in Vacaville. For the interest? He gets two dozen eggs. Hesse, a former bank executive in San Francisco, is part of a new national organization called Slow Money - an attempt to bring the values of the slow food, sustainable farming movement to the dollar-driven world of investment. Slow Money will hold its third annual conference next month at Fort Mason in San Francisco, where potential investors will hear from a host of environmental speakers and 27 entrepreneurs seeking funding. Unlike typical gatherings of angel investors, though, these entrepreneurs won't be touting high-tech startups that aspire to become the next Google. The audience will include not just wealthy accredited investors and fund managers, but rank-and-file slow food advocates with as little as $100 or $1,000 to invest. Slow Money grew out of that movement. 'Civic engagement' Low returns

World must abandon paper reserve currencies - Outside the Box By Lewis E. Lehrman GREENWICH, Conn. But America has experienced sustained inflation and deindustrialization because of the overvalued reserve currency role of the dollar, overvalued relative to other paper currencies, especially the Chinese yuan /quotes/zigman/4869230/realtime/sampled USDCNY -0.24% . /conga/story/misc/investing.html275481 While China is an important trading partner of America, it may also be a mortal threat. Only monetary reform, including an end to the reserve currency system, can permanently correct the American, Chinese, and global disequilibrium. Currently, China holds more than $3 trillion of official reserves and more than $1 trillion in U.S. government securities. The reserve currency system of the paper dollar, whereby Chinese surplus dollars are reinvested in the United States, ignites inflation by multiplying purchasing power in China and the U.S., without associated equal production of new goods and services during the same market period. 1.) 2.)

Quando il corpo è acido, crea un ambiente indesiderato in cui prosperano malattie, batteri e lieviti. Per neutralizzare e rimuovere l’acidità esso preleva minerali da organi vitali e ossa, di conseguenza importanti riserve minerali come calcio, sodio, potassio e magnesio saranno ridotte provocando danni e acidosi. La maggior parte degli alimenti che consumiamo favoriscono l’acidità, come latticini, cereali, carne e zucchero. Poiché il corpo accumula costantemente gli scarti acidi del metabolismo, questi rifiuti devono essere neutralizzati o espulsi in qualche modo. Nella seguente lista troverai vari sintomi causati dall’acidosi (squilibrio del pH) : Il corpo è in grado di equilibrare il pH? Si, è possibile, ma lo fa ad un prezzo. Il pH normale dei tessuti e fluidi del corpo umano (tranne lo stomaco) è leggermente alcalino. Inizia a conoscere il pH Non tutti i cibi acidi si distinguono dal gusto.

Money: A New Beginning This essay is the first in a two-part series. An irremediable structural flaw lies at the base of our civilization. I call it Separation, and it has generated all the converging crises -- economic, health, ecological, and political -- of our day. Money as we know it today is intimately related to our identity as discrete and separate selves, as well as to the destruction that our separation has wrought. For indeed, we live in a world of fundamental abundance, a world where vast quantities of food, energy, and materials go to waste. Money utterly fails to connect gifts and needs. Amidst superabundance, even we in rich countries live in an omnipresent anxiety, craving "financial security" as we try to keep scarcity at bay. This characteristic appears, in different forms, in the other substructures of our civilization as well. The defining characteristic of money today is usury, better known as interest. And so it happened. It made sense. Would you like to get rich?
We’re Still Living Under Capitalism, Not “Techno-Feudalism” Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has an appeal rather like time travel stories do. They allow us to imagine not just changing the past, but rejecting the weight of history altogether. In stopping Skynet, or kidnapping baby Hitler, the time traveler faces up to the structural political and economic forces that define their own present and says no. We cheer as the impersonal tides of history are pushed back by the contingent intention of human beings. This was what many on the Left hoped for in 2015, when Varoufakis and a majority of Greeks said no to the austerity demands of their European creditors. Varoufakis’s latest book, Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism, argues that the present is a kind of return to the past. To his credit, Varoufakis has anticipated the eyebrows sure to be raised by his argument that capitalism is dead, and he works hard to convince skeptical readers. But is it? More importantly, producer users are not serfs either. But is it?
