Last year Greenpeace, a "non-violent direct action" organization, took its opposition to GM foods to the fields - Lord Melchett, former executive director of Greenpeace UK, and his fellow protesters raided farm trial sites in Britain, uprooting test crops, destroying research (which they insisted should be done), and giving farmers heart attacks. Read on to see what the others have to say about self-righteous ecovandals Social Issues Research Centre, UK "The Tide Turns Against Greenpeace" "In place of the pious deference shown by the British Press to the movement's every word on biotechnology, a consensus is now growing that the mindless vandalism of recent weeks has gone too far. It is not, of course, just the lunatic fringe of Greenpeace that has been hauled before the magistrates to answer charges of criminal damage. The organisation's executive director, Peter Melchett also felt entitled to take the law into his own hands by helping to destroy GM maize on a farm in Norfolk."

All Topics Search Home Page CSIRO MEDIA RELEASE 97/231 17 November 1997 BIG SAVINGS FOR SUMMER CROPS SAYS CSIRO Adding "friendly" bacteria to summer crops can save farmers money and improve yields, according to CSIRO. Bacteria introduced into the root zone in the form of inoculant are needed by legumes to fix nitrogen. "A single packet of inoculant can provide as much nitrogen as one tonne of urea at - less than one per cent of the cost," said Mr Bob Gault, CSIRO Plant Industry. "Inoculant contains bacteria called rhizobia, which help the legumes fix nitrogen. Without the right kind of rhizobia, legumes can't fix nitrogen and will start to use up valuable soil nitrogen. "Field trials have shown that growers using inoculant can expect these bacteria to produce between 200 and 300 kilograms of nitrogen per hectare for grain legumes," Mr Gault said. "Each legume needs the right type of rhizobium bacteria in sufficient numbers in the soil. Most of the crops we grow are not native to Australian soil, and neither are the bacteria these crops need. So we have to artificially add the right bacteria - this is what we do when we add inoculant. "There are two methods of introducing bacteria into the root zone - inoculant can be put on the seed through the seed box, or delivered directly into the furrow. Both techniques are equally effective.

Box 174, Hartland Four Corners VT 05049 d.meadows@dartmouth.edu A NASTY CAMPAIGN AGAINST ORGANIC FOOD The strangest news items about organic food have been popping up. It isn't good for you after all. It's full of bacteria and insect parts. You folks who pay a high price for it are not only suckers, you're risking your health. ABC's John Stossel recently interviewed Dennis Avery, "a leading critic of organic produce," who said organic foods are grown with (oh no, tell me it's not true!) manure. As we all know, manure is "infested with bacteria." Furthermore, organic farmers "waste land and resources because they lose so much of their crop to weeds and insects." Before I get into speculating about why anyone would want to be a "leading critic of organic produce," let me quickly dispose of his claims. All kinds of crops, organic or not, are raised with manure. Any

ECOCROP 1 Ecocrop 1, the crop environmental requirements database, permits the identification of plant species whose most important climate and soil requirements match the information on climate and soil entered by the user. The database is designed to facilitate the comparison of 12 to 20 different environmental requirements of crops across different groups of species or across species of different use, and it can be used in all parts of the world. The database includes arable crops, grasses, trees and other plant species with economic uses. Ecocrop 1 primarily holds information about the climate and soil requirements and uses of plant species, but it also provides a range of other information, such as a brief description of the species, common names in different languages and possible yields. It gives textual information about land use planning and about the interaction of environmental factors and the influence of these factors on plant growth. Ecocrop 1 includes a digitized climate zone map and a data entry and comments form that can be e-mailed back to FAO. It can produce output in a number of commonly used file formats. Ecocrop 1 can be employed: to identify suitable crop or tree species for a specified environment;

6 April 2003 Search for: Printer-friendly version Introduction to Bioenergy Last update: Sept. 30, 2002 What is Bioenergy? Bioenergy uses biomass plant matter or animal waste to produce electricity, fuels and heat. Examples include ethanol motor fuel, landfill gas and wood burned in fireplaces and stoves. EMS's biomass web pages deal mainly with ethanol motor fuel and the use of plant matter to generate electricity in power plants. Biomass Energy Potential (Source: Union of Concerned Scientists brief Current ethanol production uses the kernels from the corn plant. Farming of corn is a relatively energy-intensive process, but ethanol from corn still yields 50 percent more energy than the total amount required to farm the corn and make the ethanol. Other crops have a much higher energy yield: ethanol made from " energy crops " grasses and trees yields 4-5 times as much energy as needed to farm the crops and make the ethanol. The energy yield from biomass is highest when energy crops are used to generate electricity, with yields perhaps 10 times greater than total energy inputs. The Department of Energy (DOE) believes that we could produce 10 percent of our transportation fuels from biomass by 2010, and as much as 50 percent by 2030. For electricity, DOE estimates that biomass could supply 5 percent by 2010, while the Electric Power Research Institute puts the portion at 8 percent.

Natural gas represents about 80 percent of the cost of one ton of anhydrous ammonia, which is the building block for most other forms of commercial nitrogen plant nutrients. While product is still available in Michigan, shortages are looming as the planting season approaches, according to Louie Herman of Crop Production Services in Bay City. "We're seeing gas prices drop to around $6 MMBtu, but that's still almost double what they were last year," he said. "Even though plants are back up and running, prices will remain firm because of the tight supply. Producers can expect to pay about $12 to $16 more an acre for nitrogen than last year." Higher nitrogen prices may prompt farmers to plant soybeans, because legumes produce their own nitrogen. Wheat farmers have not been impacted as much by high fertilizer prices as corn farmers, because the bulk of the U.S. wheat crop was planted in the fall and the quick change from frost to mud this spring caused many farmers to skip spring nitrogen applications.

Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Works and Government Services, and Allan Rock, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for infrastructure, today announced funding to the National Research Council Canada's (NRC) Plant Biotechnology Institute (NRC-PBI) in Saskatoon, SK, for a research program aimed at developing crops for enhanced human health at a total of $10 million over the next five years. "This province has a history of turning innovative ideas into opportunities," said Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Works and Government Services. "Research in the nutraceutical area presents a growing opportunity to address market needs. It will support the development of a Saskatchewan-based nutraceuticals cluster." "This announcement is a vote of confidence in the application of research towards enhancing the use of plants for human health," said Minister Rock. "It will offer new opportunities for growers, new health care options for Canadians, and builds on the strength of Saskatchewan researchers."
