Land and Power

The growing scandal surrounding the new wave of investments in land The new wave of land deals is not the new investment in agriculture that millions had been waiting for. The poorest people are being hardest hit as competition for land intensifies. Oxfam’s research has revealed that residents regularly lose out to local elites and domestic or foreign investors because they lack the power to claim their rights effectively and to defend and advance their interests. Companies and governments must take urgent steps to improve land rights outcomes for people living in poverty. Power relations between investors and local communities must also change if investment is to contribute to rather than undermine the food security and livelihoods of local communities. Key recommendations The rights of the communities affected by these deals must be respected and their grievances addressed, and those who are profiting from the international deals must help to ensure this happens.

Oxfam menyerukan perusahaan kelapa sawit untuk memperbaiki pelanggaran hak-hak masyarakat di Indonesia

“If Sime Darby doesn’t budge, it should feel the consequences. The affected farmers have that right” Farah Karimi General Director of Oxfam Novib (Netherlands) Oxfam menuntut bahwa Malaysia multinasional, Sime Darby, kesalahan hak cepat di perkebunan pohon kelapa sawit di Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia.

Hydroponics

For the Soup Dragons album, see Hydrophonic. NASA researcher checking hydroponic onions with Bibb lettuce to his left and radishes to the right Hydroponics (From the Greek words hydro , water and ponos , labor) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite , gravel , mineral wool , or coconut husk. Researchers discovered in the 19th century that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water. In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plant's water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will
