CANNED Foods; In fact, the canning process has less impact on nutrition than you may think. A study in the journal Nutrients found that people who ate a lot of canned foods had a higher intake of 17 essential nutrients compared to people who rarely ate canned foods. And in terms of flavor, items like canned corn, peaches and tomatoes are harvested at peak ripeness and packed shortly thereafter, so they actually can taste fresher than out-of-season fresh options.

RUSHES: There are two immediate income streams to consider, Carey said, the first of which is the sale of the rushes which can “fetch anywhere from €10 to €20 per bale”.
In addition, once these rushes are transformed into biochar, he said there is the possibility of receiving a top-up payment for the carbon they sequester.
The potential emissions reduction from biochar in slurry might be quantifiable in future and could lead to payments for lower GHG emissions from slurry management practices.

BURRITO: Every time we have homemade burritos around here, every member of the family seems to roll theirs with their own improvised method, to varying, often quite messy, results. After a whole lot of burrito spillage and collapse, we finally set out to learn the best way to roll a burrito and share it above. This technique will keep all your precious burrito fillings wrapped inside a neatly folded tortilla vessel, so they can make a safe journey into your mouth.

PAKISTAN: Liam O Callaghan was our guest last year at our Mission Month Webinar. He was reporting on the situation in Pakistan following horrific flooding. Mission Month 2023, one year later we asked Liam for an update on the situation.
Pakistan is a country constantly battling a host of problems but even allowing for that 2022 was a disastrous year: – sky-rocketing inflation led to increasing poverty and economic slow-down, constant political instability, extremism and extreme problems from various climate disasters. From March-September, Pakistan experienced six months of endless climate crisis – an unusually early heat wave, melting glaciers, catastrophic monsoon rain and flooding, all of which are linked to climate change. The heat wave struck India, Pakistan and Bangladesh in March and April, causing at least 90 deaths, as well as wheat crop failures, power outages and forest fires. In April, temperatures in a number of parts of southern Pakistan reached 49C, and here in Hyderabad I found it probably the most difficult in my time here. What was exceptional and worrying, is that the heat wave started so early, in March, and continued into May. March and April have never been that hot. Though the heat wave officially ended in early May, nonetheless temperatures were low to mid 40s C right throughout May and June until the rains came.
