Integrated farming or integrated production is a commonly and broadly used word to explain a more integrated approach to farming as compared to existing monoculture approaches. It refers to agricultural systems that integrate livestock and crop production and may sometimes be known as Integrated Biosystems.

James Cameron Bought Farmland In New Zealand James Cameron, the director behind blockbuster hits Titanic and Avatar has bought around 1000 hectares of farmland (reportedly valued at $20 million) in south Wairarapa, New Zealand. One of the farms Cameron bought includes Lake Pounui, which the Bayleys real estate website describes as "possibly the finest privately owned natural lake in the country". The records show that Cameron and his family, who currently live in Malibu, California, plan to "reside indefinitely" in New Zealand, and operate both properties as working farms. According to Green Party co-leader Russell Norman, foreigners buying up New Zealand land will see land prices skyrocket, driving it out of the hands of kiwis. " There's a bigger issue if you look at globally productive land, particularly land that can produce food and has access to water, which New Zealand obviously is well placed, that land is becoming increasingly valuable, as th...

Food Security, Food Fear

Will a "Food Armageddon" happen in the near future? It will be tough to convince Malaysians that such a calamity could happen in a country where food is available round the clock. It is said that Malaysia is the only country in the world where food is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The term “food security” seems to be the preferred term today. Just a few decades ago, journalists weremore familiar with the term “food crisis”. Who authored the change in terminology? Was the currently preferred termspecially coined to be “politically correct” in context or “politically motivated” to accommodate a sinister agenda of institutional structures? Experts today use this term because it is not just crisis situations which cause “food insecurity” (i.e. lack of security). Almost a billion people go to bed hungry each day , according to the World Bank. Some of these peoplemay live in countries which have food, but they cannot afford to buy the food, meaning, they have no...

Sell Gold, Buy Farmland

A few headlines that seems related: 1. George Soros and Jim Rogers Selling Gold, Buying Farmland Here’s a great trivia question for you. What asset has appreciated more than any asset since the year 2000? Answer: Farmland. 1,200% A fund controlled by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager, owns 23.4 percent of a South American farmland venture Adecoagro. Commodities are still the best play for the long term and legendary investor guru Jim Rogers confessed that he has been buying farmland himself... the supplies of food are going to continue to be under pressure. This leads me to conclude that agriculture is going to be one of the greatest industries in the next 20 years, 30 years. http://www.wealthwire.com/news/metals/1769 2.

Riots

Some coverage on food, financial mess, riots... The haves and have-nots Whatever the cause, what we have seen is how socially excluded groups of people have take to the streets and for that suddenly been given the time of day by the media, those in authority and the world is paying attention – willingly or unwillingly. Large generations of Malaysian young adults enter the workforce with a heavy load of debt for basic needs and are unable to buy homes and cars without their parents help. What will then happen to the next few generations? Will they have to pay off a generational debt? When people are hungry for basic necessities, have worked hard and still do not make enough to live, it is only a matter of time before they reach their tipping point – and then what? http://www.thesundaily.my/news/108243 Japan Food Riot Fears on the Rise The price of 60 kilograms of rice had a reference price of $13,700 (£8,399) for delivery in 2012 but it reached more than $19,210 on the ...
