Here's how it works:
* Contour lines: Farmers identify the natural contours of their land, which are lines of equal elevation.
* Planting parallel to contours: They plant their crops in rows that follow these contour lines, creating a series of "steps" across the slope.
* Water management: This slows down the flow of rainwater, reducing erosion and allowing the water to soak into the soil.
Contour farming is an effective technique for preventing soil erosion and improving water infiltration, especially on sloping land.

There are creative ways to recycle and reuse water, but as with most issues of sustainability, the best option is to simply use less. “There’s a fixed amount of water,” Kai Olson-Sawyer, senior research and policy analyst at the Water Footprint Program. “As the demand goes up on water, more and more straws go into the drink, there’s more competition over that shared water resource.” Though drought-prone areas in the West tend to be more sensitive to water issues, water is a finite resour
While a lamb tataki hot pot was the most memorable dish, it was the menu’s “Humane Foie Gras” at the now closed Cyrus restaurant in California that cued an email conversation between Chef Douglas Keane and myself. I felt the use of the word “humane” was purposely deceptive, as our waiter had informed us that the infamous forced feeding process (gavage) was still used to produce the foie. Chef Keane actually began his retort by thanking me for not effective
