New York isst deutsch | Top-Thema | DW.DE | 05.04.2013 Die deutsche Küche erfährt in den USA seit einiger Zeit ein Comeback. Vor allem Amerikaner der zweiten und dritten Generation deutscher Herkunft interessieren sich wieder mehr für die Esskultur ihrer Vorfahren. Mimi Sheraton, die in den 60er-Jahren den Kochbuch-Klassiker „The German Cookbook“ geschrieben hat, sagt: „Die Jugendlichen wollen wissen, wie ihre Großeltern ihr Essen zubereitet haben.” Sheraton selbst kennt deutsches Essen seit ihrer Kindheit in den 1930er-Jahren. Ihre Familie hatte eine deutsche Haushälterin, die oft für sie kochte. Als Ende der 60er-Jahre viele Deutsche aus Yorkville in die Vororte zogen, verschwanden die deutschen Restaurants und Läden aus der Innenstadt. Heute ist in New York vegetarisches Essen in – vor allem bei jungen Menschen.

For inquiry units Ces start-up qui veulent révolutionner l’agroalimentaire Début septembre, à San Francisco (Californie), lors du TechCrunch Disrupt, une conférence consacrée aux start-up de la Silicon Valley, la société Hampton Creek Foods a fait sensation. Sur scène, Michael Arrington, le maître de cérémonie, qui s’était montré très critique au début de la conférence, s’est livré à un test à l’aveugle.

Carone Fitness: Online PE lapse: Landsat Satellite Images of Climate Change, via Google Earth Engine TIME and Space | By Jeffrey Kluger Spacecraft and telescopes are not built by people interested in what’s going on at home. Rockets fly in one direction: up. Telescopes point in one direction: out. That changed when NASA created the Landsat program, a series of satellites that would perpetually orbit our planet, looking not out but down. Over here is Dubai, growing from sparse desert metropolis to modern, sprawling megalopolis. It took the folks at Google to upgrade these choppy visual sequences from crude flip-book quality to true video footage. These Timelapse pictures tell the pretty and not-so-pretty story of a finite planet and how its residents are treating it — razing even as we build, destroying even as we preserve. Chapter 1: Satellite Story | By Jeffrey Kluger It’s a safe bet that few people who have grown up in the Google era have ever heard of Stewart Udall. But in 1966, Udall and his staff had an idea.

UN Report Says Small-Scale Organic Farming Only Way to Feed the World UN Report Says Small-Scale Organic Farming Only Way to Feed the World Via www.iatp.org Transformative changes are needed in our food, agriculture and trade systems in order to increase diversity on farms, reduce our use of fertilizer and other inputs, support small-scale farmers and create strong local food systems. That’s the conclusion of a remarkable new publication from the U.N. The report, Trade and Environment Review 2013: Wake Up Before it is Too Late, included contributions from more than 60 experts around the world (including a commentary from IATP). The report links global security and escalating conflicts with the urgent need to transform agriculture toward what it calls “ecological intensification.” The UNCTAD report identified key indicators for the transformation needed in agriculture: IATP’s contribution focused on the effects of trade liberalization on agriculture systems.

Taking the Learners and Technology Outdoors I began my career as an educator as an outdoor educator. Now I teach educational technology. Given both the ever increasing sedentary and indoor lives of kids and the advancement of technology, the time is ripe to combine the two. Current and recurring themes that guide my ideas about what constitutes a “good” education include: Learning should extend beyond the classroom walls.Outdoor education is good for students and adults.Mobile technology is engaging and interesting; and can create authentic and relevant learning experiences.Mobile learning should be just that – mobile. Moving Learning Beyond the Classroom Walls The Council for Learning Outside of the Classroom provides the following rationale for taking learning beyond the classroom walls: The Benefits of Outdoor Education A report from the National Wildlife Federation, Back to School: Back Outside, shows how outdoor education and time is connected with wide-ranging academic benefits including: 5 Ways to Take Technology Outdoors:

Quand les multinationales volent les terres agricoles Un documentaire canadien, qui prendra l'affiche la semaine prochaine au Québec, dénonce la façon dont plusieurs multinationales agroalimentaires privent des communautés de leurs terres. "Sans terre, c’est la faim" (No Land No Food No Life dans sa version anglaise originale) d’Amy Miller est un long métrage documentaire consacré à l'accaparement des terres agricoles pour les fins industrielles de grandes entreprises, telles que Pepsi et Associated British Foods (ABF). À l'aide de témoignages de fermiers ayant été dépossédés de leurs terres, notamment du Mali, de l'Ouganda et du Cambodge, le film montre les répercussions sur ces populations et sur la crise alimentaire mondiale. Le documentaire explique ainsi comment des terres, qui servaient à nourrir des communautés, se retrouvent aux mains de multinationales, laissant derrière des habitants privés de denrées alimentaires, mais aussi de leur logement et de leur travail. Visionnez la bande-annonce du film.
