Biodiversity threatened on family dinner tables Very few foods are competing to be on family dinner tables around the globe. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, only four crops make up over 60 percent of the food on our plates: rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes. Moreover, 95 percent of food energy requirements are met by only about thirty crops across the globe, which isn’t very many. This phenomenon is part of a definite decline in food biodiversity, especially when we consider that more than 7,000 plant species have been used for human consumption since the beginnings of agriculture. Our dependence on these kinds of food crops, far too few in both number and variety, causes a great deal of environmental stress, especially among the poorest populations of the developing world.

However, there are some solutions to the challenge of improving the world’s food supplies. Strained by overly intensive growing methods, some crop productions are now being moved to higher ground where they can diversify. That is the case for wheat, beans, rice, oats, vines, orange trees, and rye. Mountainous landscapes are proving to be more favorable to biodiversity, contrary to the uniformity of

There is no doubt that right now, 10,000 years after agriculture first appeared, food biodiversity is in danger. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 75 percent of crop diversity was lost between 1900 and 2000. New varieties must therefore be made accessible to the world’s farmers in order to effectively fight food insecurity, caused in large part by climate change. The move to higher land is one solution, but others must also be developed in order to counter this global threat.

The organic material of soil is formed by the accumulation of plant and animal residues at different stages of decomposition. As these materials are being continuously degraded by microorganisms in the soil, which contains billions of bacteria. This organic matter is transient and should be regularly renewed with the addition of new plants or new animal residues. The percentage of organic matter in soil is low, but it plays an important role in soil properties and plant development. It improves soil structure and assists, among other things, in the granulation of mineral particles. It improves the water retention capacities of the soil and plant production.

Sea buckthorn: An exciting new natural product! Have you ever heard of sea buckthorn berries? Even though they are a longtime favorite in Europe and Asia, they have only recently appeared in North America. While the shrub is usually used here as a windbreak or as a way to prevent soil erosion, most people are still unfamiliar with the surprising properties of the berries. Sea buckthorn berries are yellow-orange fruits, about the size of a cranberry. And, like the cranberry, their tart taste can be quite a surprise. The sea buckthorn is a thorny perennial shrub whose leaves resemble those of the olive tree. It requires well-drained soil and lots of sun, but little fertilizing. As a plant native to Siberia, it is very resistant to cold temperatures. Nutritional properties Why cultivate the sea buckthorn? Its nutritional properties are known to be very beneficial. Its berries are rich in vitamins A, C, E, and K, and they are packed with antioxidants, carotenoids, flavonoids, and sterols. On top of all that, they can be enjoyed from hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres to dessert! Markets The berryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil is good for the skin, which is why sea buckthorn is used in the making

of nutritional supplements, cosmetics, and medications throughout Europe and Asia. The berries can be processed into juice, jams, cereal bars, alcoholic drinks, and teas and used as a tonic for stomach and intestinal ulcers, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Here on our shores, chefs and cosmetics companies are getting on the bandwagon with many new products containing sea buckthorn berries. The benefits of sea buckthorn berries can be enjoyed in food products, cosmetics, and medications.

When hot dogs were first sold, street vendors called them “red hots”, and they didn’t come on a bun. Instead, a pair of white cotton gloves came with each one to keep fingers cool while eating. What’s the origin of the word barbeque? - Barbeque originated with French-speaking pirates, who called their Caribbean pork feat “de barbe et queue.” Translated, it means “from beard to tail”, reflecting the fact that the hog was an eminently versatile animal that could be consumed from head to toe. Today, barbecue translates into delicious pork on the grill. What was the key staple food for Washington’s troops at Valley Forge? Salt pork from New Jersey was shipped behind British lines to Valley Forge to feed the hungry Continental Army in the winter of 177677. Where did the saying “Living High on the Hog” come

from? - The saying originated among Army enlisted men, who received shoulder and leg cuts while officers received the top loin cuts. “No man should be allowed to be president who does not understand hogs”, said President Harry Truman.

Pork Production Facts. What’s the top price ever paid for a hog? - The highest known price paid for a hog was $220,000 at the 2001 Summer Type Conference. The pig, bred by Todd Creager of Ohio, sold to Lifeline Genetics of Oklahoma. The heaviest hog ever was a Poland China hog named “Big Bill”, he weighed 2,552 pounds and measured 9 feet long. The owner of this hefty hog was Burford Butler of Jackson, TN in 1933. The average market weight of today’s lean hogs is around 265 lbs. The longest single sausage was over a mile long measured at 5,917 feet. It was cooked in Barcelona, Spain, on Sept. 22, 1986. A 265lb. live pig will yield about 200 pounds of pork.
