Abbas Al Hajj Hassan, the Lebanese minister of agriculture, says Israel is continuing attacks on southern Lebanon despite agreeing to a ceasefire with Hezbollah last month.

The latest attack was the bulldozing of citrus orchards in the southern town of Naqoura, near the headquarters of the UN’s peacekeeping mission in the country.

After several years of wondering what to do with the mature olive trees on our property, we found a local farm (Gold Ridge Farm) that presses olives by reservation. 130 pounds of olives made three gallons of flavorful, spicy oil. It took us a few hours to pick and sort, and we’re already looking forward to next year.

There are futures in #ecosystem #restoration. Get into it.

Imagine employing the energy and commitment of all the people protesting in the streets, instead participating in mass actions of earth restoration. It'll take a bit more planning than making a cardboard sign and chanting slogans while obstructing traffic, but a beach or a river could be cleaner, #water could be captured for reuse and to infiltrate back into the earth, #CityForests and #orchards could be established, marginalized people could have #gardens, rain gardens could be installed, food distributed. This is a tiny list. You can think of others.
#Tolerance + #Cooperation = Power for #Peace
Design a #benestrophe (many good things happening at once; the opposite of a #catastrophe).

After a lunch break at lake Reschen, we continued pedaling on the Claudia Augusta cycling route.

@rjayasinghe thanks for the route tip 😎! @taseroth it's a super easy and nice #cycling path with long stretches separated from the traffic 😅.

Since the Reschenpass it was all downhill! This was the longest descent we have ever ridden. The landscape started to change already in the upper part of #Vinschgau. Apple #orchards lined up one after another.

# A fast two-stage approach for multi-goal path planning in a fruit tree

How do you efficiently plan a path for a drone around a fruit tree, and then plan its movements so it reaches into the tree to reach the fruit with a robotic arm? In what order do you do that?

It's my contribution to the 2023 International Conference on Robotics and Automation! #ICRA2023

30 years ago the demand for #cider was in steep decline here in the UK. The big commercial cider makers paid farmers to grub out their #orchards and turn them over to other forms of agriculture.

Now "cider" is booming as a cheap drink. The "apple juice" feedstock is imported from China and gods only know what the apples are like and what is done to the juice/cider. Cider makers in the UK are paying farmers to plant orchards again.

Some of the orchards that were grubbed out were hundreds of years old as were the trees growing in them. They contained rare varieties of #apples found nowhere else in the world that gave the cider real flavour and were naturally disease resistant. Old orchards were havens for #wildlife of all kinds. New orchards tend to be deserts of grass with a limited number of varieties of apple trees plonked in them and sprayed with #biocides multiple times per year.

One of the best cider makers in England, Julian Temperly, of Burrow Hill Cider, coincidently just down the road from where I grew up and lived most of my life, was trying to get an EU law passed to say that if you wanted to call your product cider it had to be 99.5% apple juice. Sadly Brexit put an end to it.

#capitalism what are you going to do?

When I was a child I played in all the old orchards on the hillsides around here. I would stand up on my horse's back to reach the best apples up high.. and share them with her. Sadly now, they are almost all cut down to make way for development.
