Flax and industrial hemp for fibre

By dana.bucur Comment Closed
How many of us have the courage to plant new crops? To place together people, financial resources, perseverance and total dedication is not handy to anybody. Plus that it is needed a business-driven man to catalyze permanently in a constructive way the new initiative. What are you going to do when there is not a critical mass of market players, culture (information, disponibility), know-how, real agricultural machines, people/a current to support it. I would like to invite you to get familiar with two new crops: flax and industrial hemp for fibre. Too few people really know about it (hemp being a traditional crops in the early age of Romania). I have been involved in such a project i.e. industrial hemp for fibre (from prospecting markets to cropping and harvesting fibre and seed). The information is availbale through website by courtesy of Romanian Ministry of Agriculture, Forests and Rural Development: http://www.madr.ro/pages/page.php?self=01&sub=0104&var=010402&art=0408 This information is in Romanian, if you are interested please let me know and I will be...

Femeile si lumea afacerilor

By admin Comment Closed
'In lumea afacerilor merita sa iti dezvolti abilitatile - deopotriva cele care te reprezinta si cele care te pasioneaza - calitati si aptitudini specifice si noua femeilor. Merita sa iti construiesti propriul tau brand si deci sa te marketezi'. 'In comparatie cu femeile, barbatii cand muncesc poarta o uniforma. Femeile au aici un avantaj, asa zisul ' setul de instrumente  vizuale'. Prin combinatia de imbracaminte, culori, make-up, accesorii si coafura putem iesi in evidenta. Si din punct de vedere al brandului, acest lucru este important. Nu va luati dupa modelul masculin - traim in secolul 20. Mai bine urmati modelul femeii franceze: imbracati-va ca o femeie si scoateti in evidenta ce aveti mai bun. Daca nu aveti un trup de model, atunci iesiti in evidenta prin coafura sau imbracaminte.  Dati nota distincta prin culoare, accesorii si altele. Aveti in vedere atitudinea voastra si cum va miscati'. 'Femeile detin acea gena a sociabilitatii si o abilitate innascuta de a interrelationa. Femeile sunt prin...

Women in business

By dana.bucur Comment Closed
'In business, it pays to build on your strengths - both what you’re good at and what you’re passionate about – including your strengths and aptitudes as a woman. It also pays to brand yourself and market your accomplishments'. 'Compared to women, men wear a uniform to work. Women have an advantage because we have more “visual packaging tools.” We can employ a wide variety of clothing, color, accessories, hairstyles and make-up so it’s easier to stand out. And from a personal branding perspective, being noticed is important. Don’t mimic the male model – that’s so 20th century. Use the French women’s model: dress like a woman and accentuate your best features. If you don’t have the body of a fashion model, do something wonderful with your hair and clothing. Develop a distinctive look with a signature color, accessories and so on. Work on your posture and how you move'. 'Women have the social gene and an innate ability to build relationships...

Cooling the planet with crops

By dana.bucur Comment Closed
By carefully selecting which varieties of food crops to cultivate, much of Europe and North America could be cooled by up to 1°C during the summer growing season, say researchers from the University of Bristol. This is equivalent to an annual global cooling of over 0.1°C, almost 20% of the total global temperature increase since the Industrial Revolution. The growing of crops already produces a cooling of the climate because they reflect more sunlight back into space, compared with natural vegetation. Different varieties of the same crop vary significantly in their solar reflectivity (called ‘albedo’), so selecting varieties that are more reflective will enhance this cooling effect. Since arable agriculture is a global industry, such cooling could be extensive. To read more please go on http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2009/6091.html...

Recolte care racoresc planeta noastra

By admin Comment Closed
Cercetatorii de la Universitatea din Bristol au observat ca lanurile de grane ar putea sa fie o veritabila arma impotriva incalzirii globale. In baza imaginilor provenind de la satelitii de monitorizare a pamantului, acestia au constatat ca unele recolte, mai ales cele cu frunze deschise la culoare, au capacitate mare de reflexie a energiei solare inapoi in spatiu , fenomenul fiind mai accentuat in America de Nord si Europa, pe timpul verii. Astfel, adaptarea agriculturii pe cele doua continente ar putea duce la scaderea temperaturilor globale cu peste 0,1 grade Celsius.

This article is written for those who really would like to follow a career in agriculture. Who is interested to build up his/her agricultural career in Romania or elsewhere in the world?

Usually people involved in farm activities are lonesome, ready to work in tough conditions and sometimes dangerous. So we discussed here about people who are physically-driven / motivated. Who do u recognize under this description? Either a farmer or a forestry man. People who are business-driven are running the business as if is theirs, even if it is so or not. The responsibility and rewards for this type of career include all the risks affiliated to the failure of not fulfilling...
