Many of these refugees have extensive experience in agriculture. In the settlements of Tezu, they are now farming exclusively organically. Since they have farming experience that there may be farms across Canada that need labour and might also be able to provide shelter.

Organic agriculture is a fine luxury for the rich, but it could never feed the world as global population moves to 9 billion.
That's what a lot of powerful people -- including the editors of The Economist -- insist. But the truth could well be the opposite: It might be chemical-intensive agriculture that's the frivolous luxury, and organic that offers us the right technologies in a resourc...]]> Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:18:31 GMT http://www.homesteadorganics.ca//blog/blog_33d004fc-3be3-4b6d-bbe6-1ce8cbb6de76.aspx Sun, 27 Feb 2011 15:17:56 GMT http://www.homesteadorganics.ca//blog/blog_edbe55be-6a5e-43d7-8328-2fa6e7948e86.aspx Thu, 24 Feb 2011 12:14:06 GMT http://www.homesteadorganics.ca//blog/blog_134a45ba-92a1-4132-9eca-133743f80d9c.aspx Tue, 22 Feb 2011 16:01:07 GMT http://www.homesteadorganics.ca//blog/blog_288610ff-cad8-4c26-99be-fc18131455a8.aspx Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:16:33 GMT http://www.homesteadorganics.ca//blog/blog_d865a27f-813a-4cbd-8110-5e0397c066e6.aspx Reference: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/161498.html
