Abstract

In 2008, the Unitarian Service Committee (USC) Canada started offering a series of workshops in ecological farming methods in Bangladesh. The workshops compare past and present trends in agriculture, heritage seed collection and preservation techniques, as well as composting, intercropping and other simple techniques that enrich soils. Initial meetings with villagers had revealed knowledge losses between generations. This article in Alternatives Journal (2010), focuses on “Champa,” a young woman attending her first intensive four-day workshop at the age of 14. “The Naked Blogger” reviews a “green” blog by a young Canadian committed to an ecological lifestyle.
