Las Vegas In Dusty Trouble
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

One thing that is certain to trip up the human race is its tendency to pursue short term goals and solutions without any weighty regard for the long-term consequences of those actions.

We routinely learn that unintended consequences are the norm, not the exception, and yet that rarely stops us from boldly interfering with complex processes.

A good reminder that we need to be vigilant about the quality of our drinking water and have periodic checks of private water sources to ensure one's health and well being.

The article includes a nice interactive mapping feature to search for your location and get a baseline view of the issue.

A Weekend On The Farm
by Adam Taggart
If you've been a reader of PeakProsperity.com for more than a few months, you've likely heard us talk about Farmland LP. It's a fund that purchases over-farmed, depleted conventional farmland (at a discounted price), and then spends years nursing the land back to organic status using sustainable farming methods.
 
As an investor, I have the opportunity to tour any of the fund's 5 farm properties, which are located in southern Oregon and central California. So that just what I did this past weekend when the Farmland team held its first annual investor gathering at its newest (and largest) property in Stockton, CA.

An interesting concept of providing controlled irrigation to plants through the use of unglazed clay pots buried in you garden space or on larger scale food production fields.

Rising Resource Costs Escalate Odds of Global Unrest
by Chris Martenson

As we observe the growing unrest in Ukraine, there is the usual rush to ascribe a cause. Was it meddling by the West? Russia? Was it corruption by prior leaders? Simmering resentments that stretch back centuries that finally erupted?

The answers apply to Ukraine as well as to many other countries. Which is why having an accurate framework, a clear 'lens' for seeing what is actually transpiring, will prove far more useful to you than 99% of what you will hear on the ni

An article from the recently passed World Water Day that describes some very eye opening perspectives on the importance of clean fresh water to our survival and the conditions many many people face throughout the world.  And with population growth still on the rise and water scarcity ever increasing – it may be time to put a little more thought into your personal, local and global water supplies and how to protect them.
