![]() Community-supported agriculture is not an unfamiliar concept for regular Springwise readers, nor are the often-associated add-ons of bicycle-based produce delivery and compost services. Canadian Fresh Roots Urban Farm offers all of these; what sets it apart, however, is a series of partnerships it’s formed with local schools in the Vancouver area to create urban farms on school land. ![]() Fische und andere Meeresfrüchte sind beliebte und gesunde Bestandteile unseres Speiseplans. Dementsprechend groß sind der Konsum und die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Wirtschaftszweigs Fischerei. Doch die langjährige Übernutzung der einst so fischreichen Meere hat dazu geführt, dass mittlerweile achtzig Prozent der Fischbestände weltweit von Überfischung bedroht sind. ![]() This is the third in a series of posts on traceability. Written by Springwise, and supported by IBM. Check out our previous posts on a registration service for product recalls and on supermarkets offering increased food traceability, or read more about building a smarter planet. The attraction of cycling as a green, healthy, and cost-saving form of transport is huge for consumers, especially so at a time when the environment and world financial woes dominate the zeitgeist. Businesses doing something a little different for cyclists are a strong bet for success. Here’s five we recently spotted: Source : http://www.springwise.com/food_beverage/regiomat/ In a world wrapped up in complex supply chains, small farmers are in a catch-22: sell to the supermarkets and get less cash for your carrots, or spend a lot more time and effort trying to sell directly to customers. Consumers, meanwhile, are torn between loyalty to local businesses and the convenience of those Source : http://www.springwise.com/eco_sustainability/ridgeblade/ Just last week we covered SRS Energy’s Solé Power Tiles, which disguise solar panels as clay roof tiles. Now a similarly unobtrusive solution for cloudier climes is on the horizon. RidgeBlade is a wind-power system that can be fitted to buildings with minimum visual impact and maximum energy conversion potential. This micro-generation system employs discreetly housed cylindrical turbines positioned horizontally along the apex of a sloping roof. The slope of the roof naturally channels wind into the turbine chamber, meaning RidgeBlade can “produce electricity under low or variable wind conditions.” This high efficiency means that the system could pay for itself within a few years. |
