Organic Food: An Information Sampler

 

Dear Faithful Readers:

Thanks for returning to Greens & Berries after my month-long blogging break. I tend to underestimate the time a project will need and overestimate the "free time" I think I'll have to complete it. I also haven't developed the skill or mind-set of being able to work on more than one "big thing" at a time.

And a month of gathering resources on organic agriculture, skimming all of them, reading quite a few in depth and then preparing material for a brief presentation, I'm completely out of thoughts & words. At least that's how I feel today.

But beginning next week, I plan to share excerpts from the presentation, Organic Food: An Information Sampler. For now, I thought you might be interested in the references & resources I've discovered. I've compiled them into a PDF document with Web links you can download.

Welcome back and thanks for sharing those resources! I can't wait to hear more about your presentation. I'm also loving the new blog layout :)

Thanks, Vincci. I'll be rehearsing my talk this week to make sure it's no longer than 15 minutes -- it's so challenging to discuss this topic in such a short time. But I really have enjoyed working on the presentation. I've learned so much about what "organic" means.

It's very, very generous of you to share all your research like this Elaine. I will look forward to having a read and seeing what I can do to annotate with UK resources.

Is the presentation for fellow dietitians?

[Elaine]

Thank you, Sophie. Yes, the presentation is for fellow dietitians and dietetic interns. I keep finding new, interesting content that I'm trying to work into the talk.

I would welcome your input. I admire may of the initiatives and groups in the UK, particularly Sustain <www.sustainweb.org/>.
