This is a really important step back to take to get the 20,000 ft view and make sure we're not making any mistakes while lost in the minutiae of the deal. We are interested in leasing the land. One thing that they did explicitly write

This is an interesting route to go that I hadn't thought of to get an idea of pricing. I've mostly been going directly to people that sell solar credits and either asking them to put me in touch with developers or if they had an i

That's a good point. It's a lot of land that probably won't be developed, but we've been exploring other projects like agroforestry etc that might cast shadows. Will definitely ask for clarification. Thanks!

They are asking to lease 10 acres and use it all for solar field development. I'm not sure what portion of that, if any, would be used for access roads etc. Apologies if that was unclear. Edit The line in their proposal that's c

I think he was just saying that a lot of times "privilege" as jargon is a little different than the word's common usage. So, if you were making a point where the welfare theorem of economics made sense to bring up, you might

In summary; this was a far less rigorous review than IARC which found the opposite. In arriving at its conclusion, EFSA relied heavily on the glyphosate assessment conducted by German pesticide regulators, which was based on egregious viola

This sets up IBM to compete directly with Monsanto's new Climate Corp in the ag-tech space. My hopes is that this drives the entry price of this tech down so it can actually benefit small farmers (who may have higher margins due to cro

I think he was referencing more shareholders and owners like Lucas (who was given "menial tasks"). Absentee owners is absolutely a common thing in all walks of business.

The whole argument of the article establishes a false dichotomy. While I'm sure there are some people who can play the role both of the sheep and the literary insiders (as in the author's description), I'm sure most people, l

Aquaponics critics rarely mention that you can often close much (though not all) of your production loop by feeding the waste products from the final produce back to the fish. And with tilapia (and to a lesser extent catfish), feed sources

Consumption of irrigated water actually plummets with aquaponics (article cites 90% less water use), and, depending on the system, may not even need any fertilizer at all since the fish manure is circulated. You still have to feed the fish,
