ECNC : expertise Centre for biodiversity and sustainable development GIET-INFO What We’re About – Grown in Totnes Grown in Totnes is about increasing the range of local food available to the Totnes area. Our local farmers mainly produce meat and dairy. We need more variety for a healthy, balanced and climate sensitive diet. Grown in Totnes is particularly interested in those staple crops that can be dried and stored; these principally include grains and pulses, including the many varieties of peas, lentils and beans. There is a ‘hungry gap’ in seasonal British food between January and May, when there is much less fresh produce available. To ensure our local food security we need storable staples. The need for locally grown staples was a key insight from an exercise to map Totnes’s local food web, carried out by GinT member Holly Tiffen, in collaboration with the Campaign to Protect Rural England. Grown in Totnes is filling this gap in local food by keeping the growing, processing, packaging and selling of these staples all within 30 miles of Totnes. We: Like this: Like Loading...

Fondation pour le progrès de l'homme 19 septembre 2012 La fondation s’est associée au financement de l’étude menée à l’initiative du Criigen ( sur les effets à long terme des pesticides et des plantes génétiquement modifiées sur la santé animale.Ces études auraient dû être prises en charge par la puissance publique. Nous déplorons l’insuffisance des politiques d’évaluation de l’innovation technique. La Fondation Charles Léopold Mayer pour le Progrès de l’Homme (FPH) soutient depuis vingt ans le développement d’une démocratie technique (*) dans la perspective d’un développement responsable. (*) Elle a soutenu ou soutient entre autres les organisations suivantes : Inf’OGM ; Fondation sciences citoyennes ; ENSSER ; Pugwash ; Avicenn ; Générations Futures ; CRIIGEN ; Stop OGM ; Combat Monsanto.

The Biodiversity Hotspots Page Content Life on Earth faces a crisis of historical and planetary proportions. Unsustainable consumption in many northern countries and crushing poverty in the tropics are destroying wild nature. Biodiversity is besieged. Extinction is the gravest aspect of the biodiversity crisis: it is irreversible. In a world where conservation budgets are insufficient given the number of species threatened with extinction, identifying conservation priorities is crucial. The biodiversity hotspots hold especially high numbers of endemic species, yet their combined area of remaining habitat covers only 2.3 percent of the Earth's land surface. Hotspots in Context Hotspots Defined Impact of Hotspots Hotspots Revisited Conservation Responses Subsection 01 Eight Hotspots hold a diversity of plant and animal life, many of which are found no where else on Earth. Subsection 02 Composed of large land areas as well as islands dotting the Pacific seas, these 13 Hotspots represent important biodiversity.
