You're talking about manure usage here, not meat consumption. You don't need cattle for regenerative agriculture.
Compost can do just fine in this case. Also if you want to boost nitrogen on the soil you can do by using FAA (a KNF entry) based on fish, instead. Anyways, the second link you sent says that they have controlled grazing to prevent the cattle from destroying new growth. As the text says: plants can do it all.
The “four wheels” of ZBNF are ‘Jiwamrita’, ‘Bijamrita’, ‘Mulching’ and ‘Waaphasa’.
- Jiwamrita is a fermented mixture of cow dung and urine (of desi (Indian) breeds), jaggery, pulses flour, water and soil from the farm bund.
- This isn’t a fertiliser, but just a source of some 500 crore micro-organisms that can convert all the necessary “non-available” nutrients into “available” form.
- Bijamrita is a mix of desi cow dung and urine, water, bund soil and lime that is used as a seed treatment solution prior to sowing.
- Mulching, or covering the plants with a layer of dried straw or fallen leaves, is meant to conserve soil moisture and keep the temperature around the roots at 25-32 degrees Celsius, which allows the microorganisms to do their job.
- Waaphasa, or providing water to maintain the required moisture-air balance, also achieves the same objective.
All sorts of livestock is used - not just cattle. Goat manure, for instance, is very good in some circumstances and is quite expensive.
As with everything, all things have to be done in moderation. A certain acreage of land can only support so many plants, animals and humans.
I was only countering the narrative that livestock=evil because it damages the environment based on one single parameter - methane emissions.. which is also something that is being addressed by different types of feeds etc.
I'd say it's Utopia (even though I see what happened in 1917 with good eyes), it would mean the obliteration of a system already too stablished to let it happen (Capitalism), both cannot coexist (or whoever tries it would be casted out just like Cuba was with its socialism).
What we need is having companies aim for more than profit by the end of their fiscal year. As already pointed out here on HN many times, whenever you get VC money, where your business leads is where the money set you to. Product oriented initiatives instead of project oriented ones were a good start, having people own part of it gives them a sense or purpose and let them mature it while maturing themselves. What I really hate about Capitalism is the fact about BigCo or BigVC acquiring SmallCO or pushing it out of business being the standard.
Anyways, I find reading on paper so much better than reading E-Ink as well, got a Kindle paperwhite, and it's out of battery somewhere because highlighting and note-taking (I do it a lot while studying) feels so much better with physical copies. Only reason for me to take the Kindle for a walk is when I'm traveling and weight is a concern.
Not exactly. It wasn't the same stadium at all. The original Maracanã received something around 1.2 bi BRL (387.55 mi USD if we consider today's rate) in order to receive the Olympic games. Sergio Cabral' (former RJ governor) prision was motivated (among other things) because of that
Probably it will. Problem is the "owner" (Odebrecht and EBX, both companies involved in many issues in the Lava-Jato investigation) don't have money to fix it, nor are potential "clients" (soccer teams) willing to contribute to fix it or to pay the amounts that are being charged to use it.
What really scares me is the fact that MS would present itself as a company that now focus on enabling people, and then decides that by enabling they only move towards getting work done, thus depriving people of the very life they should be allowed to enjoy.
With all the current privacy discussion going on, it's kinda lame to work somewhere you're supposed to take corporate phones and so on back home - EDIT: considering the future might look like 1984 when it comes to surveillance.
It's not curated. People used to be asked to repost their content if the admins thought it was interesting, but this no longer occurs. (This turned into a system that could automatically repost content considered interesting; I've stopped posting stories as often, so I'm not sure if it still happens.)
Furthermore, there are protections against vote rings. If, for example, someone votes directly on the URL for a story, or if the referrer is often the same, those votes are discarded.
However, you're right that the algorithm has evolved over time. Visit https://news.ycombinator.com/classic to see the previous algorithm in action.
It's also valid to mention that the impeached president also ended up helping out in one way: he froze the saving accounts, since one way to stop inflation is to cut down the buying power of the population.
but the big problem for you guys is: it's expected that China holds something around 1 trillion of the US GDP in treasury bonds. So whenever they feel the US economy isn't trustworthy anymore, selling these will hit like a train.
their growth rate is really high right now, so it's a delicate situation.
The problem is not even in selling. They would need someone to sell to. Once China stops buying it will be the beginning of the spiral down in the prices of US bonds.
China is the only emerging market that needs the US economy going and for the American consumer to keep its purchasing power. China can only stop buying when their domestic market gets big enough to sustain the hit that it will eventually come.
The Chinese can't stop buying bonds if they want to keep their currency depressed relative to the dollar. Moreover, they have no intention of stopping the gravy train - tanking the US economy (further) would only hurt their own largest market, and no other large market is as willing to accept one-sided trade and currency policies as the US.
The Fed bought up 1 trillion in mortgage debt and no one blinked -- that is why mortgage rates are 4%. If China started dumping their T bills the Fed would just buy them up. It wouldn't hit like a train -- more like a tricycle.
But the U.S. can't do that forever without inflation, because they either have to cut spending (which wouldn't happen due to fears it might affect unemployment and the economy), raise taxes (same deal, and is even more of a political mess), or print money. Printing money in bulk over and over leads to inflation. Inflation causes people to slow spending.
They are printing money to directly manage interest rates and indirectly manage inflation. If the Chinese liquidate the debt they own, the Fed printed money to buy the debt, and Chinese spent the money employing americans eventually that might cause wage inflation. That process seems slow enough that inflation would be no big deal to manage.
I just wonder what is the criteria for the pictures: it's obvious that there aren't real people manually selecting the pictures, but couldn't the driver flag a location as "inapropriate" since he was right there when it hapenned?
So yeah, I still expect to see a lot of bizarre pictures around.

Plantation can't. And never will.
