Biosolids: an assault to our land and our communities

Dark Soil: Ending the Land Application of Biosolids In America

By Jason Fowler on 11/30/2011

I came home the other night to the thick stench of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) on the wind. The trucks had been driving past our cabin for days…While you may have never heard of biosolids the battle to stop it’s application on agricultural and public lands has been raging for many years…

American Meat the film premiers in Virginia July 9

American Meat (film trailer)

By Jason Fowler on 07/08/2011

What I find unique about this film project is they seem to be using it as merely a starting point for action. The film American Meat is apparently connected with a video-based social network called Leave It Better and another sister project Harvest Cloud…

Heretic Farmer Joel Salatin To Speak At Lynchburg College Feb 14

By Jason Fowler on 02/10/2011

In “Everything I Want To Do is Illegal,” Salatin says the single biggest impediment to eating healthier is the demonizing and criminalizing of virtually all indigenous and heritage-based food practices…If you’re in our neck of the woods come hear Joel Salatin speak at Lynchburg College on (this) Monday, February 14…

GOD has made us to be fully human and to live on a human scale.

All We Need is to Be Human

By Ragan Sutterfield on 01/28/2011

There was an evangelical environmental campaign several years ago that asked, What Would Jesus Drive?…meant to lead toward the idea that Jesus would be a low-carbon kind of guy who’d probably drive a Prius or maybe a grease bus…But what if Jesus wouldn’t drive anything?…

Farming As A Spiritual Discipline by Ragan Sutterfield (a must read)

Farming As A Spiritual Discipline [Book Review]

By Jason Fowler on 08/02/2010

Despite what the title may infer, it is not just for farmers- it is for all of us who long for the coming shalom of GOD’s New Earth. He begins by inviting city dwellers to get their hands in God’s dirt…

Our theology must inform our agriculture and our ethics of eating

Why Christians Should Support Sustainable Agriculture

By Caroline D'Angelo on 07/30/2010

Everybody should support sustainable agriculture because it will help alleviate health problems, environmental pollution and help strengthen communities…but Christians have added incentive to do so, since it is a way of worship, Biblically relevant and connected to teachings of Jesus…

By Christine Sine on 07/19/2010

GOD weeps over the Gulf oil spill (montage: J Fowler)

Our Industrial Wound and the Salty Tears of GOD

By Jason Fowler on 06/21/2010

The Gulf oil spill is an open wound- it is the lifeblood of the Industrial Age- mixing with the salty tears of GOD…Our future lies in humility before GOD and not in our utopian dreams. From that point of reconciliation a new way of life can begin…
