Food Science: Beer
I'm working on a MOOC for WUR about Beer. There are several portions, but I'd like to post the two sections I'm working on: Culture and History and Cultivation Methodology (Storage, Preservation, Transportation). These are rough drafts, but it might be interesting to someone.

TEEB Analytics regarding SRI within the Indian Rice Production System (week 5)
TEEB Analytics regarding SRI within the Indian Rice Production System
Introduction
When designing an analysis (typology) to evaluate the hidden or overlooked aspects of a farming system one must look at the various impacts on the Health & Skills, Society, Economy, and Environmental spheres. These four realms are interconnected and many of the items to be discussed will need to be viewed under each subset to see the true benefit or cost of the externalities mentioned. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) methodology to be discussed in this paper will be viewed from the lens of two distinct stakeholders: that of the Government/Research Institutes and that of the Community/Farmers in Indian rice production. SRI has promising results in terms of environmental benefits and is actively being introduced in India, which is why this papers aim is to investigate the hidden costs and benefits further within the Indian context.
