| The Harvest: Farming Sustainably in New York | |
| GRITtv: The Harvest: Farming Sustainably in New York From: lauraflanders | 24 November 2010- Eating less meat might be better for the world, but it can definitely be delicious. Buckwheat is actually a fruit, a grain substitute that can be excellent for those with gluten sensitivities, or just a nice alternative to the usual. GRITtv's Danya Abt and Zac Halberd took a trip up to Ithaca, NY to visit the buckwheat fields, where Erick Smith, Greg Mol and Shane Hardy of Cayuga Organics took her from the field to the flour mill, introducing us to the challenges of sustainable farming and its many rewards. Thanks to Kevin McHugh and the Andrew Oliver Kora Band for the music! | |

| As GOP Aims For Extension of Bush Tax Cuts for Wealthy, Rev Jesse Jackson Calls for War on Poverty | |
| Democracy Now!. The Senate has failed to advance a bill that would have extended the deadline to file for federal unemployment insurance through next year. This leaves some two million unemployed Americans without jobless benefits after this month. The White House, meanwhile, has signaled it's willing to compromise on Republican demands to preserve the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Democracy Now! speaks to the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who says describes our current moment as one of (quote)exceptional poverty(end quote) and is calling on President Obama to hold a bipartisan meeting on hunger and poverty. | |
