The best way of predicting the future is by creating it. And to make things reality it does not require someone from heaven to brainstorm you but yourself you a game changer and change maker.

Why did 1,000 world citizens bury their underpants?

Study: Land use is the biggest factor in determining decomposition rates of organic cotton underpants.

Jennifer Ouellette – Aug 27, 2026

Excerpt: "A thousand people voluntarily buried their cotton underpants for two months—not to keep the Underpants Gnomes from stealing them, but as part of a citizen science project to map out soil health in 25 countries around the world. The results of this unique experiment were reported in a new paper published in the journal #PlantsPeoplePlanet.

" 'Our results show that how soil is managed can significantly affect both soil life and soil quality,' said co-author Marcel van der Heijden, an #agroecologist at the University of Zurich. 'Healthy, biologically active soil is crucial for fertility, nutrient cycling and many other #ecosystem services.'

" #SoilHealth is critical for #agriculture and, by extension, #FoodSecurity, not to mention a healthy #GlobalEcosystem, but it has been declining worldwide, per the authors. One key indicator of soil health is #decomposition rates of complex organic matter, breaking down stuff like leaves, wood, even cadavers into simpler organic and inorganic compounds, releasing C02 and nutrients in the process. There have been relatively few large-scale national decomposition studies involving different land use types, although smaller studies have shown that how humans use a site can significantly affect the soil’s biological diversity.

"Commercially available teabags are a common material used to measure decomposition rates, known as the #TeabagIndex ( #TBI ). However, Van der Heijden and colleagues felt the teabag index could be improved upon, given that it requires careful handling and specific tools, like a fine-scale balance. They opted for a more playful approach to illustrate soil composition.

"Prior research had shown that cotton strips could also be used to assess decomposition, so why not engage in a bit of #CitizenScience and ask volunteers to bury cotton underpants for a couple of months, then dig them up and record the results? That’s exactly what the authors did in a national project they dubbed 'Proof by Underpants.' "

#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - #OurFoodNetwork AGM

Wednesday, 2 September 2026
5:30 pm 7:00 pm

Otago Community House, Level 6 Rimu Room
43 Princes Street
Dunedin, Otago Region, 9016 New Zealand

"Join us for a catch up and some nibbles, a talk from Skye Macfarlane with the opportunity to buy some Wild Dispensary Products, followed by the AGM. We are looking for more committee members to join this great group of people working on a really critical issue - making sure we can continue to feed ourselves

Skye Macfarlane is an #Ōtepoti - based natural health practitioner, #herbalist and Head Formulator at Wild Dispensary. She holds a Bachelor of Natural Medicine, alongside postgraduate qualifications in development studies and public health, and has more than a decade of experience in herbal medicine, product development and phytotherapy research.

At Wild Dispensary, Skye develops evidence-informed herbal products using locally grown and #NewZealandNativePlants, helping turn traditional herbal knowledge into practical products for modern life. She also co-operates a BioGro-certified organic market garden and medicinal herb farm in #Otago, works in food education and regional food resilience, and serves as Research Convenor on the Naturopaths & Medical Herbalists of New Zealand board. Her work brings together herbal medicine, local growing, sustainable business and a firm belief that good health begins with stronger connections to our food, plants and communities.

In this talk, Skye will share practical, evidence-informed winter wellness tips and introduce some of the herbs traditionally used during the colder months. She’ll also take us behind the scenes at Wild Dispensary, exploring how locally grown and native medicinal plants are transformed into contemporary herbal products, and the realities of building a values-led botanical business in Otago."

#Composting program to provide #Everglades with soil for #CommunityGarden

by Martin Vassolo, March 12, 2025

"Your #FoodScraps could be used to help support the Everglades through a new partnership between the village of #PinecrestFL and the #MiccosukeeTribe.

"Instead of dumping #FoodWaste into crowded #landfills, which produce #methane emissions, the #EvergladesEarthCycleProject will expand Pinecrest's residential composting program and deliver nutrient-rich soil to the #Miccosukee Tribe.

"Driving the news: The project, funded with a $400,000 federal grant and other contributions, calls for installing four new #CompostingBins in Pinecrest and three around #MiamiDade County District 7.

"The initial phase of the program will supply compost to the #SwampyMeadows #CommunityGarden, which grows vegetables just outside the Miccosukee Indian School.

"Another proposal that's been floated is adding new soil to the Everglades' tree islands, though that would need tribal approval, says the Rev. Houston R. Cypress of the #LoveTheEverglades Movement, a partner in the program.

"Cypress told reporters on an airboat ride through the Everglades last week that the tribe teaches 'the essence of being in harmony with nature is giving back to it.'

"'With the Everglades Earth Cycle Project, we're giving back clean and healthy soil; we're giving products that might eventually improve the water quality out here, but we're also giving directly back to local indigenous communities here,' he said.

"Pinecrest already has two free public composting bins, one at the Pinecrest Public Library and another between the Community Center and Pinecrest Gardens."

#Gardens that Nurture #Culture

Spring 2022

Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

" 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

"In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

"While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."
