Liberia : UN Renew Sanctions - Security Council Says Liberia Still Fragile Ghana : Countries Ineligible for Millennium Challenge Account Will Still Get Funds ... UN Renews Sanctions, Says Liberia Still Too Fragile allAfrica.com The UN recently ruled against an appeal by transitional leader Gyude Bryant (pictured), saying that the peace in Liberia is too fragile for sanctions on timber and diamond exports to be lifted. Under former President Taylor, foreign exchange gained from the sale of the valuable commodities was used to fund the civil war. RELATED: What is the Future of Liberia's Forests and its Effects on Regional Peace? [pdf] Ethiopia: Farmers Battling Poverty Through Cooperatives USAID An Ethiopian coffee farmer. USAID has been helping impoverished Ethiopians escape the cycle of poverty by working with some 550,000 farmers organised into cooperatives countrywide to achieve agricultural development and growth. The effort, which also seeks to help farmers gain access to international markets, has seen exports rise from a few tons five years ago to close to 5,500 mt, worth some $10 million, this year.

157. Earthworm Ecology And Sustaining Agriculture A paper from the Center for Agroecology and sustainable Food Systems, University of California, exploring the effects of earthworms in farmed soils. http://www.sarep.ucdavis.edu/worms/werner.htm

Home Site Map Calendar Search ... Webmaster Earthworm ecology and sustaining agriculture Matthew R. Werner Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 Reprinted from Components, vol. 1, no.4 (Fall 1990) Earthworms can play a variety of important roles in agroecosystems. Their feeding and burrowing activities incorporate organic residues and amendments into the soil, enhancing decomposition, humus formation, nutrient cycling, and soil structural development (Mackay and Kladivko, 1985; Kladivko et al., 1986). Earthworm burrows persist as macropores which provide low resistance channels for root growth, water infiltration, and gas exchange (Kladivko and Timmenga, 1990; Zachmann and Linden, 1989). Quality, quantity and placement of organic matter is a main determinant of earthworm abundance and activity in agricultural soils (Edwards, 1983; Lofs-Holmin, 1983), as are disturbances of the soil by tillage, cultivation, and the use of pesticides (Doran and Werner, 1990). This article will review recent information on earthworms as it relates to the sustainability of agriculture. For further information, see Lee (1985) or Satchell (1983).
