Nogle mennesker har frihed til at vælge deres egen vej i livet. Det gjaldt ikke for James Rebanks. Han er fåreopdrætter på en gård i Lake District i England, der har været i familiens eje i mere end seks århundreder.James Rebanks bog, The Shepherd’s Life: A Tale of the Lake District, er allerede en stor succes hos både anmeldere og læsere. Hans skildringer af livet som fårebonde er både engagerende, rørende og ærlige. I en stemningsmættet tekst guider Rebanks os gennem et får-år. Bogen er en unik fortælling om livet på landet – et liv, som er fjernt for de fleste af os. Det er en historie om Rebanks arbejdsliv og menneskene omkring ham, hans barndom, hans forældre og bedsteforældre. Det er historien om at være vedholdende på trods af et vanskeligt erhverv, og den er fortalt med stor kærlighed til naturen.For Rebanks og hans familie danner vejret og årstiderne de altafgørende rammer om livet. Om sommeren er fårene på bjerget og høet i laden, om efteråret går man på markedet og bringer nye dyr til besætningen, om vinteren skal dyrene holdes i live, og med foråret kommer nye lam.
Måske kender du allerede landmanden fra den prisvindende dokumentar ”Så meget godt i vente”. Med denne bog får du lejlighed til at komme længere ind i denne pioners fascinerende tankeverden. Bogen er vokset frem af en lang række samtaler mellem Niels Stokholm og filosoffen Carsten Graff og indeholder også kapitler af kokkene Claus Meyer, Rasmus Kofoed fra Geranium og klimakokken Jesper Møller. Niels driver sit landbrug ud fra en særlig indsigt i jorden, dyrene og planterne og lever i overensstemmelse med dem. Udgangspunktet er en kærlighed til alt levende, og det kan både ses, mærkes og smages i de grøntsager og dyr, han fremelsker på gården Thorshøjgaard. Dette betyder blandt andet, at verdens bedste restaurant, Noma, og mange af de bedste danske kokke henter inspiration og råvarer hos Niels.Ifølge kokken Claus Meyer er Thorshøjgaard hjemstedet for Danmarks lykkeligste ko, og ifølge klimakokken Jesper Møller laver Niels verdens bedste mælk.”Menneskeheden er i puberteten. Vi er i oprør imod naturen, vil ikke samarbejde med den og i stedet spejder vi imod fjerne planeter, imens vi drømmer om at ytte væk hjemmefra.” Niels StokholmMere om Niels Stokholm www.landbruget-thorshoejgaard.dk www.facebook.com/nielsstokholmbog
"Det blev en slags besættelse for mig at se de svin som levede i min skygge ...”I ET MIDTJYSK landskab går Mathilde Walter Clark rundt og undres. I verdens mest dyretætte land, hvor er så alle dyrene? I det vidt læste og diskuterede essay Hvordan man laver dyr kommer vi tættere på det der foregår inde i industrianlæggene når dansk landbrug ”laver dyr”. Hvilke liv lever dyrene? Hvad bruges dyrene til? Og hvordan taler vi om dem?

Flæskfødevarer skal ikke længere produceres for enhver pris. Produktionen skal bidrage til at løse klimakrisen, ikke forværre den, vende naturens nedtur til optur og forsyne os med fødevarer uden at frembringe livstruende virus. Sundhed, klima og biodiversitet står øverst på dagsordenen for fremtidens agroindustri.Den helt store disruption af den traditionelle agroindustri kommer i løbet af det næste tiår. Vi står over for den dybeste, hurtigste og mest konsekvensskabende forandring af fødevare- og landbrugsproduktionen, siden de første planter og dyr blev domesticeret for 10.000 år siden.Til trods for at vi kan købe stort set alle fødevarer til lavere priser fra udlandet, fortsætter vi med at højglanspolere myten om Danmark som et landbrugsland. Erhvervet selv går til yderligheder, som når Tulip i Randers sender sine svin til Tyskland for at få dem opskåret af østarbejdere på sulteløn, for derefter at reimportere de samme svin, nu forklædt som Tulip Danish Bacon.Vi holder stadig fast ved masseproduktionen af billigt flæsk og mælk i stedet for at bevæge os opad i værdikæden, som et højtudviklet land burde være i stand til. Ikke mindst økonomien taler for at ophøre med en 120 årgammel tradition for at eksportere bacon og smør til lave udsalgspriser.At det blev netop coronavirus, der lagde en hel verden ned, betragter virologerne som en tilfældighed. Den næste pandemi er allerede under opsejling, og det bliver en influenza A-virus. Med al sandsynlighed vil den spredes fra svinefabrikkerne, og ingen kan forudsige, hvor dødelig den kan blive. Sidst den ramte verden, kostede den 500.000 mennesker livet. Prisen for billigt flæsk kan blive skæbnesvanger høj, hvis vi tøver for længe. Velkommen til fremtidens bedste landmænd.
"From a pioneer of the regenerative agriculture movement, a memoir-meets-manifesto on betting the farm on a better future for our food, animals, land, local communities, and our climate. Featured in Food and Country, premiering at Sundance 2023. Raised as a fourth-generation farmer, when Will Harris inherited White Oak Pastures he was a full-time commodity cowboy who played hard and fast with every tool the system offered - chemicals, antibiotics, steroids, and more. His ancestors had built a highly profitable, conventionally-run machine, but over time he found himself disgusted with the excess, cruelty, and smalltown devastation this system entailed. So he bet the farm on forging a different way of doing things. One that works with nature not against it, and bridges the quickly widening delta between consumers and their food. Armed with tenacity, conviction and an outsized tolerance for risk, Harris called his approach "radical traditional" and it made him the pioneer of regenerative agriculture long before the phrase existed. At once an intimate, multi-generational memoir and a microcosm of American agriculture at large, A BOLD RETURN TO GIVING A DAMN offers a pathway back to producing food the right way. At a time when food supply chains are straining, climate-induced catastrophes are playing havoc with harvests, and concern around who owns America's farmland are more prescient than ever, Will Harris urges us to consider where the food we eat really comes from, and to re-connect to the places and people who raise what we eat each day. With keen storytelling, a good dose of irreverence, and an unflinching willingness to speak truth to power, Harris shows us why it's never been more important to know your farmer than now"--

With recipes for over 80 natural cheeses and complimentary ferments, this groundbreaking, comprehensive book guarantees high-quality results and perfect flavors for every season. Cheese is milk's destiny. In Milk Into Cheese, cheesemakers at every scale will learn to produce a broad range of traditional cheeses, entirely naturally. Experienced educator, activist, and celebrated natural cheesemaker David Asher introduces the reader to the cultures and practices of cheesemakers, the role our agricultural practices play in making cheese, the biological evolution of cheese, and the transformation of milk into cheese through fermentation. A perfect companion to David's The Art of Natural Cheesemaking, Milk Into Cheese expands the cheesemaker's tool kit through an exploration of cheesemaking styles from around the world. These natural cheesemaking processes are made simple, in contrast to the complicated, controversial, and confusing world of industrial cheesemaking, with its reliance on freeze-dried cultures, chemical additives, and ever-expanding use of expensive technology. Milk Into Cheese also celebrates the world's most delicious seasonal hand-made cheeses, including alpine, blue, and milled cheeses. Through gorgeous photography, helpful illustrations, and detailed recipes, David prepares the reader for their own journey into traditional natural cheesemaking. He also shares simple recipes for fermented foods that complement and help us understand cheesemaking better, including pickles, sourdough bread, butter, and salami. For home, small-scale, and larger-scale cheesemakers, Milk Into Cheese delivers a sophisticated look at the biological science that informs--and the ecological principles that guide--natural cheesemaking. Praise for The Art of Natural Cheesemaking "The wisdom [Asher] shares is complex in nature, but satisfyingly simple in practice." --Edible Manhattan
Åsmund Bjørnstad er professor emeritus i planteforædling i Norge. I Kornbogen – brødets og øllets historie bygger han på det seneste tiårs indsigter indenfor genomforskning, arkæologi, kulturhistorie og bæredygtighedsforskning.Vi tæmmede kornet, og det os! Åsmund Bjørnstad formidler med kulturhistorisk spændvidde kornenes – det vil sige majsens, risens, hvedens, sorghums, hirsens, havrens og rugens – historie, fra vi begyndte at tæmme de vilde frø - og de tæmmede os. For ti, tolv, fjorten tusind år siden. Gennem denne kultivering opstod skriftsprog, tidsregning, religioner og klassesamfund – og den mangfoldighed af mutationer, som vi dagligt, uafvidende sætter på tallerkenerne. Eller svinger kruset med øl!Korn nok? Det var spørgsmålet for stenalderkvinden, som tæmmede kornet og frem til spørgsmålet ligesom gik i glemmebogen, og så lød det: Kød nok? Men nu er kornet igen kommet på den internationale dagsorden: Korn nok? At hver andet korn i dag går til dyrefoder eller til bioenergi, beskriver den nuværende udvikling. Kan den mon fortsætte – i et ændret klima, i en ny verdensorden?Bogens billedside er i absolut særklasse. Omkring 300 illustrationer rummer bogen.

Saying NO to a Farm-Free Future passionately argues for scaling up the pro-nature principles of low-energy, biodiverse and agroecological farming, and for putting the power back into the hands of small-scale farmers and producers, and the local communities that support them. âEUR¿A case for a rural agricultural landscape that delivers food without wrecking the planetâEUR(TM).

This is Volume I of A Farmer's Almanac Series, Fascination of Discovery. Drausin Wulsin's initial venture on the land was developing one of the first grass-based, New Zealand-style dairies in Ohio. The next enterprise entailed creating a wetlands mitigation bank on 200 acres. The third was developing a grass-based meat business, involving beef, sheep, laying hens, broilers, turkeys, hogs, and a certified commercial kitchen. Wulsin wrote blogs over ten years describing the rewards and challenges of these enterprises. These blogs are assembled into four volumes of passionate, insightful, well-written, and entertaining stories, entitled A Farmer's Almanac, Stories about Land, Food, and Life.
Genudgivelse af Eskil Halbergs Madpakker til revolution,hvori det vises, at kapitalismen har taget kontrol over maden til skadefor klimaet og alt levende, og at vi derfor står i en livsnødvendig kamp for at skabe en anden økologi.I vores del af verden, men i stigende grad overalt i verden, er mad i dag formidlet gennem verdensmarkedet. Vi er, paradoksalt nok,livsvigtigt afhængige af det system, som samtidig smadrer vores egnelivsbetingelser.— Eskil HalbergHalberg tager os med ud pålandet. Vi har vist ikke lyst til at blive derude, som det ser ud ligenu. Men det kan vi ændre på. “Det er næsten umuligt at gøre oprør fra en rapsmark.” Men det kan gøres fra et vildnis, fra et landbrugskollektiv, fra en byhave.

Understanding Aging and NutritionIn the quest for lifelong vitality, one cannot underestimate the crucial role that nutrition plays in the aging process. As we age, our bodies undergo numerous changes that can impact our overall health and well-being. By understanding the intricate relationship between aging and nutrition, we can make informed choices to support our bodies and maintain a high quality of life.Aging is an inevitable part of life, and it brings about several physiological changes that can affect our nutritional needs. As we get older, our metabolism slows down, leading to a decrease in muscle mass and an increase in body fat. This shift in body composition requires a shift in our dietary habits to ensure we are getting the nutrients we need.One of the key aspects of understanding aging and nutrition is the concept of nutrient density. As we age, our bodies require fewer calories, but they still need the same amount (if not more) of essential nutrients. This means that every bite we take should be packed with vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds. Opting for whole, unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains ensures that we are maximizing our nutrient intake while minimizing empty calories.Another crucial consideration is the impact of nutrition on age-related chronic diseases. Research has consistently shown that a high-quality diet can help prevent or delay the onset of conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. By focusing on whole foods and limiting the consumption of processed foods, trans fats, and added sugars, we can greatly reduce the risk of developing these debilitating diseases.Moreover, the role of nutrition in cognitive health cannot be overlooked. As we age, our brain function naturally declines, but certain nutrients have been shown to support brain health and cognitive function. Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and B vitamins are just a few examples of nutrients that have been linked to improved brain health. By incorporating foods rich in these nutrients, such as fatty fish, berries, and leafy greens, into our diet, we can potentially protect our brain from age-related decline and enhance our cognitive abilities.

The authors take an in-depth look at an accepted practice of classifying ALL animals held in a business of primary product in Australia as revenue assets regardless of the function they perform in that business.

They describe the practice as unfair, and after a deep examination of the circumstances that gave rise to the generally accepted accounting and tax interpretation, they find that it is not true. They report their story and point their fingers at a glaring tax injustice.
