This week on Greenhorns Radio Sev speaks to agro-ecologist Houston Wilson. Wilson discusses the primary goal of his science: eliminating "off farm" input. This essentially means designing your farm in a way that encourages nature to do the tasks we often leave up to chemicals or people. With enough crop diversification farmers will find that controlling pests, nutrient cycling, and dealing with diseases can all be executed internally if the farm is designed appropriately. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of fine grass-fed beef from the coasts of CA.
Photo 1: The Altieri Lab at UC Berkeley has been conducting cutting edge research in vineyard agroecology over the past decade. Recent efforts focus on the management of non-crop vegetation to enhance the natural regulation of key insect pests in vineyards. We strive to conduct comprehensive research spanning landscape-level dynamics to specific within-field insect interactions. We also believe in the importance of collaborating with growers to conduct research in real-world settings where the system designs that we are developing will be employed.

Houston Wilson and Agro-Ecology (12:43)
Tags:
Hearst Ranch, Houston Wilson, Agro-ecologist, what is acroecology?, trying to reduce all farm input by diversifying cropping systems so they sponsor their own pest control and nutrient cycling, acroecology not organic farming per se, trying to promote habitat to manage pests, biological control, using natural methods (and other animals) to eradicate pests, Landless Workers Movement, reclaiming underutilized land in Brazil for landless peasants, produce practical contemporary science that is applicable in the field, all research is conducted on commercial farm, getting feedback from commercial farmers about their hypothetical theories and whether they are scalable and usable, off farm inputs, more recent increases in the price of oil has increased fertilizer and pesticide prices, exploding seed costs at a time when the industry has been squeezed, establishing flowering ground covers in vineyards to provice nectar and pollen to beneficial insects which can potentially increase biological benefits and control,Parasitism and The Grape Leaf Hopper (11:16)
Tags:
the grape leaf hopper is one of the main pests Houston works with, a very tiny wasp searches for leaf hopper eggs and lays his eggs inside the leaf hopper eggs which kills the leaf hopper, five hundred million little eggs hating insects that will munch on your grapes, the cost of synthetic or organic pesticide versus the target organism developing a resistance to the pesticide, its more difficult for an organism to develope a reisstance to biological control, we need wine!, did we learn anything from wine grapes that can be applied to other crops?, Houston works with wine grapes beacause of their proximity to UC Berkley campus, Napa County and elsewhere are very open to new ways of thinking regarding farming, transfering this science to other cropping systems, the science is however particular to not just wine grapes but wine grapes in Northern California, fine tuning diversification and translating that model to other crops, attempting similiar diversification propceses with similiar goals, are there enough Agroecologists in the world to get the job done?, a lot of these scientists are overworked and tired!, theres no beer at lab meetings, a lot of people are doing research in ecological pest management that aren't agroecologists, there is a documentary film being made about Houston's project, RJ is slowly building a website and adding a new trailer soon, www.BioControlMovie.com,To comment on this episode click here.
