Frente Rescate Agrícola – Dile NO a la pérdida de terrenos agrícolas
Frente Rescate Agrícola – Dile NO a la pérdida de terrenos agrícolas
El Frente de Rescate Agrícola (FRA) es un movimiento de base popular que agrupa a diversas organizaciones civiles comprometidas con la agricultura y con un desarrollo sustentable del país. Este frente surge como propuesta a la preocupación colectiva de la pérdida desmedida de los terrenos agrícolas de Puerto Rico a causa de un desarrollo desenfrenado en beneficio de un supuesto progreso. El FRA se estará manifestando de diversas formas educando al pueblo y proponiendo alternativas para la preservación de los terrenos y para el progreso sostenible del país. Hemos llegado al punto donde la pérdida de una pulgada adicional de terrenos agrícolas representa una amenaza al sustento alimentario de las presentes y futuras generaciones.
Es momento ya de considerar la agricultura y los recursos naturales como pilar en el desarrollo del país. La crisis alimentaria que enfrenta Puerto Rico y agravada con la pérdida de terrenos agrícolas es un asunto de seguridad nacional y todo aquel que atente en contra de los terrenos está cometiendo una agresión directa al pueblo puertorriqueño.

A Surprising Side-Effect of Climate Change: A Fog of Confusion
Climate change entails significant social impact not least of which is induced by changes in the global water cycle: more precipitation here, less there, more droughts in dry areas, more floods in wet areas, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, changes in cloud cover, etc… Another side-effect is also apparent: a thickening fog in the public discourse that obscures the significance of irrefutable environmental change to human society.
