On the one hand, their land has been a battleground and Israeli cluster bombs continue to pollute their fields. On the other hand, they’ve been abandoned by Lebanon’s political elite – many of them merchants – who prefer to see Lebanon import its food. A guy named Rami is helping them out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The slow-food movement has reached dizzying heights on the sun-baked altiplano of Bolivia, in the Andean highlands. Here, small-scale producers are making the most of scarce water supplies, ample sun, a few inexpensive materials and local expertise to eke out a living in some of the highest elevation farmland in the world. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think about resources crucial to human survival. What comes to mind? Fresh, clean water for sure. Food tops the list. Earth’s primary living products – plants that grow from seeds – are the foundation of humanity’s food supply. Wheat, barley, oats, corn, potatoes and a dizzying variety of beans and legumes ... Conserving these seeds of survival – as a common resource – is one of humanity’s greatest challenges ... Never more so than in the age of global climate change and plant disease pandemics.]]></description>

Coastal mangroves are endangered by unsustainable fishing and cutting practices. The mangroves of southern Cambodia, on the Gulf of Thailand, are a case in point.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Farmers and their cash crops ... earning a living on the margins of global agriculture. Palestinian farmers face an entirely unique challenge. Israel’s so-called "Security Barrier" has actually walled them off from their olive and vegetable groves. The Annexation Wall – as Palestinians call it – prevents them from farming completely. ]]></description>
