Comment on Cash Crops by Karl Hansen

Hi Delia – It’s too simplistic to say that cash crops are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. It depends on the context, including factors like what ecosystems the crops are replacing, the crop management system adopted (incl. the sustainability, productivity and longevity of the new cropping system) and who benefits (e.g. local communities or just multinational companies). So the question you are asking is huge and the answer could be the subject of an entire book or more!

Comment on Where’s ’sustainable living’ at Copenhagen? by Chris Floate

Carbon footprint reduction is at the heart of sustainable living but measures that can be taken by the individual must be cost effective if they are to be adopted by a large percentage of population. I am setting up a website, realityGreen that focusses on the costs involved in sustainable living and payback periods for the systems and products that can help.

What is the pitfall of cash crop plantation?
Are all cash crop low quality like the “low-grade coffee”?

It’s true that the Giant Water Lily is a giant but the widest leaf ever recorded was 2.65 m across … We know because it happened at the Living Rainforest!
