They were mainly subsistence farmers, growing crops on nearby mesas.

Olericulture is the science of vegetable growing, dealing with the culture of non woody (herbaceous) plants for food.

We could conceivably expand the climate window we could make Pinot Noir grow maybe in Long Island, God forbid.

Refugees are not returning in sufficient numbers to allow the planting of crops to sustain their families for the coming year.

Because its main geographic focus was north of the forest, Oyo enjoyed easier farming and thus a steady growth in population.

They developed agriculture as well, growing maize and other crops unique to the Americas, and creating a distinct culture and religion.

At the Lurie Family Center for Animal Imaging, my colleague, Andrew Kung, grew this cancer successfully in mice without ever touching plastic.

Often people plant palm trees and coconut trees along the Indian Ocean that borders the East coast of Kenya.

He welcomed the completion of the first pilot project for agriculture carried out by the Centre with a view to assessing the risks linked to the cultivation of grasses in Ecuador's coastal zones.

James Memusi, an accountant, grows mushrooms in a spare bedroom, selling them to nearby hotels and supermarkets.

Scientists and engineers have developed many powerful ways to address today s challenges, whether growing food, controlling diseases, or protecting the environment.

77 per cent of the total number of persons employed in 1999 were engaged in subsistence farming, unpaid voluntary work and working in religious sectors.

Economic policy is like gardening pulling on plants will not make them grow faster, but a successful gardener can provide them with the right environment in which to flourish.

We work to create conditions in which poor rural women and men can grow and sell more food, increase their incomes, and determine the direction of their own lives.

Al Jazeera reports that families have begun planting urban gardens with argula, eggplant, tomatoes, and watermelon adding hues of green, red, and purple to the urban rainbow.

Since the first reporting period, the States affected by illicit cultivation of coca bush and opium poppy have adopted national plans to reduce and eventually eliminate such cultivation.

With regard to cannabis cultivation, no such comparable data exists, but it is clear that further efforts by the international community are urgently needed.

A couple of years ago, I read an article by New York Times writer Michael Pollan in which he argued that growing even some of our own food is one of the best things that we can do for the environment.

The study will use measurements taken by remote sensing from aircraft, complemented by ground based measurements of land surface characteristics and atmospheric characteristics Gambia is working on the production of short cycle higher yielding manioc varieties Indonesia is conducting research on fast growing, high quality forests, and on logging practices that will prevent further losses of species that enrich diversity of their tropical rainforests.

Liquid bioenergy sources in Germany. In 2003, German farmers planted about 460,000 hectares of oilseed rape to produce about 650,000 tons of biodiesel.

Also, two women with passionate hearts Wangari Maathai, the Nobel prizewinner from Kenya who has planted 30 million trees. And by doing so, she has changed the soil, the weather, in some places in Africa, and of course the economic conditions in many villages.

Sixthly, it should be noted that in the occupied Syrian Golan the Syrians were unable to cultivate their very fertile lands because the occupation authorities prevented them from establishing a water supply infrastructure for development and human consumption.

The fund would jump start forestry, land use, and agricultural projects areas that offer the greatest scope for reducing or mitigating carbon emissions, and that could produce substantial returns from carbon markets.

Many of the research and training activities carried out by the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology are focused on crop improvement (in particular cotton, rice, tomato and sunflower) with stringent biosafety concerns.

A system in which poppy is cultivated under license for the production of pain killing medicines such as morphine and codeine would allow farmers to pursue their traditional livelihood and way of life, and, more importantly, to feed themselves and their families.

Not only would poppy licensing address the poverty and hunger crises that have engulfed the south of Afghanistan it also would stabilize existing local structures, giving communities a reason to support President Hamid Karzai s government and the international community.

BR So you see us here cutting up some watermelon. The idea with this is that we're going to eliminate tons of food miles, wasted energy, and overfishing of tuna by creating tuna, or any exotic produce or item from a very far away place, with local, organic produce so we have a watermelon from Wisconsin.
