Hayward Community Supports Sustainable Agriculture in Book-to-Action: The Future of Food
(Hayward, CA – March-May, 2016) - Residents from Hayward and neighboring cities, along with faculty, staff, and students from California State University East Bay, are answering the call to get involved in a great book, and in their community by reading Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America by Liz Carlisle, and participating in a variety of events and civic engagement activities that promote sustainable agriculture. A protégé of Michael Pollan, Carlisle tells the story of an unheralded group of Montana farmers who have defied corporate agribusiness by launching a unique sustainable food movement.
Hayward Public Library Supervising Librarian Sally Thomas observed that Book-to-Action participants expressed “a keen passion” on this subject when they gathered to discuss Lentil Underground at both the downtown library and Cal State East Bay campus. The Hayward Library and Cal State East Bay distributed 200 copies of the book, at no charge to registered program participants. “Residents, schools, and college campus communities alike are making the connection between their personal health and the quality of and access to fresh food that is both nutritious and mindful of the environmental impacts on the land where it is grown,” she commented. Thomas manages the Hayward Seed Lending Library, which provides free access to seeds for those who enjoy the pleasure of growing their own food. The Hayward Library provides educational workshops and support to help encourage community members learn how to be successful gardeners and harvest seeds for sharing with one another.
This is the second year that Cal State East Bay’s Center for Community Engagement (CCE) and Leadership Employee Enrichment Program (LEEP) have partnered with the Hayward Library on Book-to-Action, a program model that the Hayward Library introduced to California in 2011, and which has since been promoted by the California State Library to libraries throughout the State. LEEP Director Corey Gin said “we couldn't be happier to collaborate on an issue that is very important to our college community: food justice and sustainability. The knowledge and experience gained in this program can help change lives in a positive way.”
Andrea Wells, Senior Coordinator of CCE’s Operations & Partnerships, is enthusiastic about the positive outcomes that result from collaborative community engagement experiences for both students and community partners. “People are looking to not only educate themselves about this issue, but also take an active role in supporting local farms.” Beginning in late March, students have joined forces with other volunteers at several organic farms situated at the nearby Sunol AgPark, where sustainable farming and public education programs are protecting natural resources in the Alameda Creek watershed. Additionally, volunteers will promote the Plate of the Union initiative, sponsored by the Union of Concerned Scientists and several other national food justice organizations, which calls for voters to champion a food system that provides healthy, affordable, sustainable, food for all. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, how we produce and consume food has a bigger impact on Americans' health and well-being than any other human activity.
Lentil Underground author Liz Carlisle lectures at both UC Berkeley and Stanford University. Her book is the outcome of a Ph.D. she earned from UC Berkeley’s Department of Geography; it was awarded the 2015 Montana Book Award, among a slew of positive reviews. Lentil Underground follows the work of David Oien, who pioneered organic farming practices in Montana and led a small network of farmers who investigated the wonders of lentils, demonstrating to skeptics that they enrich the soil, create their own fertilizer, and thrive with little moisture. Years of work resulted in Timeless Seeds, now a million dollar enterprise that sells lentils and heritage grains to a national market.
Liz Carlisle and David Oien appeared in person at a free public keynote event on Thursday, April 21 at Hayward City Hall, along with Dr. Lawrence Kushi, Director of Scientific Policy at the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research; and Dr. Ricardo Salvador, the Union of Concerned Scientist's Senior Scientist and Director of UCS's Food & Environment Program, based in Washington, DC. The keynote event was kicked off with a Sustainable Food Resource Fair featuring cooking demonstrations, free food samples prepared by Blue Heron Catering, and an opportunity for the public to network with local food policy, urban farming, and food justice organizations.

Recently thinned encroached meadow in Custer County, SD. This meadow had an overly dense stand of ponderosa pine encroaching over the fence line. This encroachment took up about 35 acres of what was once productive grassland. By removing all the pine there will be an increased growth in grass, and the pasture can now be used for winter grazing without the risk of pine needles causing abortions in the cows come spring.
Overcrowded forest stands are one of the number one resource concerns within the Black Hills. Overcrowded forest stands create the perfect conditions for catastrophic wildland fires. These stands often stagnate and grow very little. Trees in these stands are also more stressed. This increases the chances of large beetle infestations causing large areas of tree mortality. Overcrowded forest stands can be treated through precommercial thinning to reduce the number of trees and therefore increase resource availability. The desired benefits on forested acres in South Dakota can include more understory grasses and vegetation for livestock grazing and wildlife grazing. Forest thinning will allow more sunlight and moisture to infiltrate the forest floor and improve the grasses and forbs growing there.
Resource concerns in this photo include Plant Structure and Composition, Wildfire Hazard.
Plant Structure and Composition – Imbalance of one species of tree or one age class of trees.
Degraded plant composition occurs when there is a lack of diversity of plant species within a geographic area or an imbalance in the relative abundance of plant species. Degraded structure refers to plant density, distribution patterns, or height and layering that is not suited to providing the desired conservation benefits and products.
Wildfire Hazard – tree stand is too thick, has too many ladder fuel trees, and canopy is closed.
Fire can be an important and often beneficial part of the natural ecosystem; however, uncontrolled or “wild” fire can pose threats to life, health, and property. Excessive fuel loads can result in a fire too intense, causing damage to the desired plant community and site conditions. In addition, the secondary effects of some wildfires, including erosion, landslides, introduction of invasive species, and changes in water quality, are often more disastrous than the fire itself.
•Overstocked forest increases the risk of fire outbreak
•Continuous fuels increase the risk of the spread of fire
•Abundance of ladder fuels increase fire intensity and potential rate of spread
Practices that can address these resource concerns:
383 Fuel Break - A strip or block of land on which the vegetation, debris, and detritus have been reduced and/or modified to control or diminish the risk of the spread of fire crossing the strip or block of land. Control and reduce the risk of the spread of fire by treating, removing, or modifying vegetation, debris, and detritus.
666 Forest Stand Improvement - The manipulation of species composition, stand structure, or stand density by cutting or killing selected trees or understory vegetation to achieve desired forest conditions or obtain ecosystem services. Consider crop tree management (Perkey et al. 1994) when making decisions about which trees to retain and which to cut, kill cut, or kill.

Institute of Sindhology, University of Sindh Jamshoro Photography By Muhammad Arif Channa
In 1962, the University of Sindh established an institution called the " Sindhi Academy ". Its aims and objectives were:
(1) to establish a research library containing all available books and manuscripts, written in any language, providing information about Sindh, its past and present; and
(2) to publish research material produced in Sindhi and other Pakistani languages and in English, Persian and Arabic including relevant Ph.D. thesis submitted to the university of Sindh or any other university of Pakistan.The aim was to promote research on Sindh and assist research scholars in getting relevant material. The celebrated Scientist Dr. M. Raziuddin Siddiqi was at the helm of affairs as the Vice-chancellor at that time. He was supported by renowned scholars Dr. Nabi Bakhsh Khan Baloch, Muhammad Hanif Siddiqui , Pir Hussamuddin Rashdi and Ghulam Ali Allana to run the Sindhi Academy .
In 1964, the Advisory Board of Sindhi Academy decided to change the nomenclature and the status of Sindhi Academy to the “Institute of Sindhology " with enhancing its aims and objectives.
Institute of Sindhology (Sindhi: سنڌولوجي) is one of the major resource on history of Sindh. It was the first research institution of its discipline that brought Sindhology to the forefront of international research.[1] Sindhology is referred to as the knowledge about Sindh. The history and culture of Sindh has been shaped by the Indus river, as the lifeline of Sindh, brings minerals and soil from Himalayas to the region and flows into the Arabian Sea at Indus River Delta located in Sindh. These factors define the scope of Sindhology to cover the study of antiquities, the relics, the history, and the culture of both of ancient and modern Sindh with particular reference to Sindhi society and literature. The institute, thus provides a repository of this knowledge in the form of a research-oriented institution.
>The Following Modus Operandi was opted:
To work on the pattern of Indology and Egyptology
To encourage research on the Indus valley civilization, through the ages &
To interpret Sindh, Indus civilization and its contribution to human history and civilization.
In the words of Dr. M. Raziuddin Siddiqi, "Great things very often begin in a small way", this institution was founded in a small room of 8'x8' at the Sindh University, Old Campus, Hyderabad. The foundation stone of the present independent and majestic building situated on the Hyderabad-Karachi Super Highway (adjacent to right side of Indus river. 12 km from Hyderabad and 150 km from karachi) was laid down on 10th December 1972 and the Institute was shifted in the new building in 1978. The Institute's building is the masterpiece and the best portrayal of amalgamations of the Islamic and Buddhist architectures on Allama I.I. Kazi Campus, Jamshoro. The three-storey main building decorated with beautiful Hala tile-work gives a magnificent look, with its two arms housing the Research Library and Administration Block. The main domed building houses the Anthropological Research Centre (Museum), Art Gallery, Film and Photographic Sections and Audio-visual Section. The extension made at the time of Silver Jubilee Celebrations in 1987 houses the Book Depot and Gift shop.
