Farmers in the beautiful terraced farms in Yunnan’s Stone Village, in Southwest China, have been working closely with scientists and drawing on traditional knowledge to conserve and breed crop varieties that are better adapted to climate risks, such as droughts.
COVID-19 disrupted transportation and travel, yet farmers in the Stone Village had secure access to seeds and were able to cultivate a variety of vegetables. This helped to enhance local food security, as community members had access to nutritious and affordable food during the lockdown.

Com raríssimas exceções, o Brasil dispõe de ótimas condições de produção de frutas. Tem terra e água, solo naturalmente fértil ou corrigível, clima adequado e boa oferta de mão de obra, embora nem sempre qualificada. A Região Nordeste, onde as temperaturas atingem níveis escaldantes, é propícia para a produção de melão - de grande valor de mercado no país e no exterior.
Dotado de vitaminas A e C, além de potássio, sódio e fósforo, o melão é altamente nutritivo e refrescante. Calmante, diurético, digestivo e laxante, ele é também recomendado para o controle de gota, reumatismo e problemas renais. Outra particularidade do melão são as sementes comestíveis, quando tostadas e salgadas.
Embora conhecido e comercializado como fruta, o melão é uma hortaliça. Assim como a melancia, pertence à família Cucurbitaceae, a mesma do chuchu, abóbora e pepino. De folhas grandes e flores amarelas, suas plantas são rasteiras e se desenvolvem bem em locais com insolação, dias longos, ar seco e sem ventos fortes. Em média, os meloeiros chegam a produzir entre 60 e 70 dias.
Em plantios com manejo adequado, a fruteira tem potencial para ultrapassar 30 toneladas produzidas por hectare.

Source of vitamins A and C, plus potassium, sodium and phosphorus
With very few exceptions, Brazil has excellent conditions for fruit production. It has land and water, soil naturally fertile or correctable, suitable climate and good supply of labor, though not always qualified. The Northeast, where temperatures reach scorching levels, is conducive to the production of melons - valuable market in the country and abroad.
Endowed with vitamins A and C, plus potassium, sodium and phosphorus, the melon is highly nutritious and refreshing. Soothing, diuretic, digestive and laxative, it is also recommended for the control of gout, rheumatism and kidney problems. Another feature of melon seeds are edible when roasted and salted.
While known and marketed as fruit, the melon is a vegetable. Like watermelon, belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, the same as chayote, pumpkin and cucumber. Large leaves and yellow flowers, your plants are creepers and thrive in places with sunshine, long days, dry air and strong winds without. On average, the melon can produce between 60 and 70 days.
In plantations with management the fruit has the potential to exceed 30 tons produced per hectare.
YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER
Sphyrapicus varius
An estimated 56% of the species' North American population breeds within the Boreal Forest.
OVERVIEW
Many people think the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a mythical bird because its name is often used to parody bird
names. It is not only real, it is in some ways a keystone species. Like all woodpeckers, it excavates nest
cavities that subsequently are used by a wide variety of animals, from other birds to squirrels and spiders.
Sapsuckers also drill sap wells from which other animals obtain nutritious sap and the insects attracted to it.
Sapsuckers get their name from their habit of boring holes into the cambium layer or inner bark, letting the sap
exude and run down the trunk. The birds wipe up or suck the oozing sap with their brush-like tongues. They
return again and again to the same tree and also consume the insects attracted to the sap. Hummingbirds often
nest near sap wells, follow sapsuckers, and even time their migration to coincide with that of sapsuckers. The
Red-breasted and Red-naped Sapsuckers were once considered part of this species; the three are now considered a
superspecies, and there is much hybridization. This species, at least on migration, is the quietest of the
woodpeckers; aside from a few squeaks and whines, it is mainly silent. It is also the least conspicuous,
hitching around to the opposite side of the tree trunk when approached.
DESCRIPTION
8 1/2" (22 cm). A furtive woodpecker mottled with off-white and black; male has red crown and throat; female has
only red crown. Both sexes dull yellowish below. Immatures dull brown. In all plumages, distinctive mark is
conspicuous white wing stripe, visible both at rest and in flight. Similar to Red-naped Sapsucker, but male
lacks red nape patch, and red throat is enclosed by black; throat of female all white. Hybridizes with Red-naped
in Rocky Mountains, where puzzling intermediates can be found.
VOICE
Mewing and whining notes.
NESTING
5 or 6 white eggs in a tree cavity excavated by the birds.
HABITAT
Like most woodpeckers, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is primarily a forest and woodland species. Like other
sapsuckers, it tends to favor early successional and riparian habitats much of the time. On the breeding
grounds, aspen, maple, and birch stands are the most frequently used habitats. It often occurs in very young
forests following large-scale logging operations that remove the dense, coniferous climax forest. On migration
and in winter, it is found in a broader range of vegetation types, including orchards, palm groves, scrub, and
towns. Bottomland hardwoods are widely used when available.
RANGE/MIGRATION
Southward migration begins in September, females departing first and adult males last. Migration is primarily
well east of the Rocky Mountains, mostly at night and often in flocks. Males typically winter in the U.S., from
Kansas and Long Island south, while most females travel to the West Indies, Mexico, and Central America; birds
at the northern edge are virtually all male and those at the southern extreme female. Spring migration is
essentially a mirror image of fall migration. Males typically arrive on the breeding grounds by late March in
the south, early May in the north.
BREEDING
The breeding range of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker covers most of the boreal zone from east-central Alaska to
southern Newfoundland. It dips south into northeastern Iowa and western Maryland, with isolated populations in
the Alleghenies and Smokies. Canada's boreal forests support roughly 55% of the population. Males arrive about a
week ahead of females and establish territories by means of the drumming cadence distinctive of sapsuckers: a
short roll followed by a pause and then several individual strikes or abbreviated rolls. Both sexes often return
to the previous year's nest territory, so re-pairings are common. They often use the same tree and sometimes the
same cavity. Males do almost all the excavation of new cavities, over a period of 7-20 days; females contribute
more when time is short, such as after failed nest attempts. Cavities are most often in diseased deciduous
trees, especially quaking aspen infected with heartwood decay fungus. The four to six eggs are incubated by both
sexes for 10-13 days and the young fledge over a 2-3 day period at 25-30 days of age. The parents lure the young
out of the nest with food, and the fledglings do not reenter the cavity. Family groups remain together near sap
wells, the young gradually learning to feed themselves, first on sap and later on insects. There is only one
brood per year.
DIET/FEEDING BEHAVIOR
The sapsuckers' feeding behavior is the most distinctive feature of their ecology. Sap, directly or indirectly,
contributes significantly to their diet, and most of their foraging time is spent creating, maintaining,
inspecting, and feeding from sap wells. Sap itself makes up only about 20% of the overall diet of this species,
though at certain times, the figure can be 100%. Sap is consumed for its sugar, which varies in content by tree
species and season; trees are selected based more on sugar content than on sap flow. Higher amino acid content
in the sap of trees entering senescence may make such trees attractive. Sap is consumed more when its sugar
content is higher and when the birds' energetic needs are higher, such as during molt. Wells usually are dug
into phloem tissues, which are closer to the surface; during early spring, however, the underlying xylem tissues
have higher sugar content (to fuel leaf growth), and sapsuckers drill through the phloem to reach them. Phloem
wells begin as slits and gradually are widened into rectangles; xylem wells are round holes. Sapsuckers
vigorously defend their wells against conspecifics, other birds, and even many insects that might be considered
food under other circumstances. Most of the remainder of the diet consists of insects, especially ants (34% of
the total diet and 68% of the summer diet); most are exposed by flaking off bark or caught in flight near sap
wells but some are collected from the wells themselves. Sometimes insects are dipped into the sap. Sapsuckers
also consume fruit, seeds, leaf buds, and, perhaps incidentally, some bast.
Many parts of the Typha plant are edible to humans. The starchy rhizomes are nutritious with a protein content comparable to that of maize or rice.[12] They can be processed into a flour with 266 kcal per 100 grams.[2] They are most often harvested from late autumn to early spring. They are fibrous, and the starch must be scraped or sucked from the tough fibers. Plants growing in polluted water can accumulate lead and pesticide residues in their rhizomes, and these should not be eaten.[13]
The outer portion of young plants can be peeled and the heart can be eaten raw or boiled and eaten like asparagus. This food has been popular among the Cossacks in Russia, and has been called "Cossack asparagus".[14] The leaf bases can be eaten raw or cooked, especially in late spring when they are young and tender. In early summer the sheath can be removed from the developing green flower spike, which can then be boiled and eaten like corn on the cob.[15] In mid-summer when the male flowers are mature, the pollen can be collected and used as a flour supplement or thickener.[16]
I've been experimenting with baking bread lately, working to come up with a nutritious, satisfying, tasty breakfast bread. I think I nailed it with this loaf. Since I don't generally measure anything except the yeast (3 tablespoons), I probably won't be able to replicate this again exactly. I am recording here more or less what I did.
Used about half each of whole wheat and white flours, oatmeal, raisins, maple syrup, cracked wheat, flax seed, wheat germ, dry yeast, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Used a bit of safflower oil to keep it from sticking when I was kneading and to coat the dough to retain moisture while rising (Employed in-the-bowl kneading w/large bowl to make for easier clean-up.) Sometimes I add non-fat dry milk powder; but didn't this time. I was more generous than I usually am with the maple syrup (0.5 - 0.75 cup) and with the salt (about a tablespoon). Cooked the oatmeal (1.5 - 2 cups dry?), raisins (half cup?), flax seed (jar lid full), and cracked wheat (jar lid full) together first and let them cool while the "sponge" was rising. I think I used about 5 cups or so of water altogether, including for cooking the oatmeal mixture. I greased the pans with butter and sprinkled cornmeal in them. This made two loaves and six muffin-sized rolls.

The fruits are tasty and nutritious but all parts of this tree can be useful.
The fruit is good to eat as is but also makes a sweet drink and can be used as a milk substitute.
The unripe fruit has been used to assist against diarrhea and dysentery. The tree bark is used for skin and mucosae medicines and the seed bark contains useful tannins and astringents. The leaves are believed to have healing properties and have been used against tumors and cancers. The fruit of the plant, serves as an expectorant, stimulant, coolant, haematinic, and is useful in treating anemia. Paste of flesh of this plant or crushed leaves of the plant can be used for local application on ulcers, abscesses and boils. The bark has been used on gums to relieve toothaches.
The leaves also provide ingredients used to make dyes, stains, inks, tattoos and mordants. The whole plant is a source of hydrogen cyanide.
Fatty-acid methyl ester of the seed oil can be used for biodiesel.

So there then is our Langar meal- simple, pure and nutritious. At the top you have kheer (rice pudding, the white stuff at the left), then dhal (spiced boiled lentils) and then roti (chapati- Indian unleavened bread). Portions are unlimited and people come around constantly asking if you want more. Just outside the plate is our bowl of water. I had seen Nat Geo TV programmes where a rice dish and an additional vegetable are served. Maybe that was for the Nat Geo shoot, but here, this was all on offer, though in unlimited quantities- you can have as much as you like, absolutely free. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
