Water in an Insecure World
It’s a sunny March afternoon in the San Francisco Bay Area and it hasn’t rained in more than a week, so my neighbors are watering their lawn. And why shouldn’t they, with all of the rain that we’ve gotten in California this winter? There’s clearly not a drought anymore. If only it were that simple. […]
12 Ways You Can Support a Friend Recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury
You want to help, but you’re not sure how. I totally get that. As my husband’s caregiver after he suffered from a concussion I know first-hand how important it can be to have your community support you and how confusing it can be for your community to know how exactly to do that.
Setback for Organic Livestock & Poultry

Rule of Three for Survival
You’re out hiking and get a little turned around. Before you know it, night has fallen and you’re completely lost. Your cell phone lost service hours ago so you’re not sure if you’re 3 miles or 30 miles from your campsite. You realize you’re sleeping out in the wild tonight. What should you do first? […]
Urban Agriculture in Cuba – Organopónico Alamar
Agriculture in Cuba… I’d heard a lot about it, and done some research into before we left for our trip, but I still wasn’t too sure what to expect. I was imagining every little corner of the Havana covered in potted plants, with little courtyards overflowing with home grown veggies. While I saw some of […]

The Central Coast is home to some of the most productive agriculture land in the world, accounting for over $5 billion in direct economic output in 2011 in Monterey County alone. Yet it’s also a biodiversity hotspot…
DPMI
First things first… what’s with all the acronyms at MIIS? Oh man, I just used another one! Seriously though, the school has an acronym (MIIS), my degree has an acronym (IEP) and this cool program I did over my j-term has an acronym (DPMI). But what exactly does it mean? Well, I’m glad you asked… Development Project […]
