The International Folk Art Market is largest of its kind the in the United States.  Annually held in Santa Fe, New Mexico, artists from all over the world come out to create a small village of international culture, art, and cuisine.  This year we attended for the second in a row.  This initiative is a crucial way to use art as a mechanism of sustainable economic development and cultural exchange.

In June of 2009, Agricultural Innovations once again visited HMI's West Ranch site to develop a research study for measuring the impacts of brush clearing on land health indicators.  What follows is a series of photos from a week long trip to the West Ranch, including photos of the landscape, the research team, and our attempts to design and implement the study.  Click on the read more link below to access the photo gallery.

For over 25 years, the people at the Experimental Station for Appropriate Technology (EETA) have worked directly with local farmers to develop appropriate technologies.

EETA defines appropriate technology as anything that addresses an identified need and can be developed at low cost with local materials. The results of this approach have been remarkable. EETA has developed a number of technologies that, for their simplicity, creativity, and effectiveness, serve as a model for sustainable development.

We have put together a slide show so that our visitors can view some of the interesting and important appropriate technologies developed and deployed by the people at EETA.  Below is a list of the technologies feature in the slide show:

• Pond Aerator
• Hydraulic Ram Pump
• Solar Food Dehydrator
• Coffee Depulper
• Peanut Sheller
• Egg Incubator
• "Egg-O-Scope"
• Flour Mill
• Cassava Slicer
• Meat Smoker
• CINVA RaM
