many farmers were too poor to buy fertilizers.uch of the land remained uncontaminated by agrochemicals. the government turned that situation into an advantage. it began produce as organic to build a viable export industry. it lacked the know-how to establish standards. the government sought financial and technical assistance from an ngo in swits land. this land to the law firm of the profil project in 2004. one year later laos created its on system based on international standards. there are now strict standards for tending the soil and using organic fertilizers. organic agriculture has become a national strategy but there's still much more work to be done. some farmers are weary of the strict certification standards. others don't know organic farming exists. of the 18 provinces in laos, only six are currently participating. what's more the project has only taken root in a small number of villages. all organic produce is consumed domestically. there's still not enough of it to export. thavisith of the department of agriculture tra

the iowa fertilizer plant under construction in lee county will produce both nitrogen fertilizer and def to reduce pollution and increase mileage for diesel engines. valent biosciences, kinze, kemin, sabre, brownell's, and midamerican's historic wind project are all growing right here in iowa. across our state, though farming operations still provide the lifeblood of our economy. this continued success depends on their ability to connect. not only in connecting their equipment to the ground, but in this day and age it also means connecting their equipment to the internet. connecting with the global marketplace to sell their goods. connecting to main streets across iowa. the fabric of our state is woven together by the gravel roads and interstate highways, but in this day and age it also must be connected through access to broadband as well. this legislative session, let's come together and pass legislation allowing rural iowa to experience continued growth and connection to the rest of iowa and the rest of the world. together, let's put partisan politics aside and give rural iowa the

my big deal, i will insist a fertilized a fertilized egg is not a person. it's not going to vote. [applause] i mean pause or or no applause, scientifically mechanically, biomedical and it is not a person yet. it is not clear that we should be passing laws based on that. and nobody would even know about all this without microscopes and science and that is the irony. it is these areas where science can only take you so far. click science can show you that a lot of people have had it wrong so far when you literally look more closely you literally discover something. >> so i was interested in your book genetically modified organisms and whether those are bad, good, indifferent, like them, don't like them there has been a lot of promise companies that they were going to feed the world by creating crops resistant to pesticides for ad genes that would give more vitamins. >> supposed to provide vitamin a to african kids so they would not have these i diseases. >> this is good. >> well, the potential -- and we have tried it with some success, but there has been mixed reviews. i called the

i decided to do the fertility thing on my own.s my met my husband and he was open to it. now we have this beautiful twins that light up our lives. i wanted something for women of all ages from young toast mid career to geriatric moms like me -- that's what i'm called -- to embrace the fertility process and be empowered. >> so i have something. i didn't share it with anyone but i did it two years ago and froze my eggs. i froze my eggs two summers ago. i wanted to share with ladies out there. it's not scary if you don't mind say syringes. i did it at my parent's house. that was my first injection in my stomach. they send you drugs in the mail. it's a really serious thing. i'm 35 now. i had somebody special with me who supported me the whole time and went with me everyday. you talk about it in your book having to shoot yourself up in the back of cars or on stories. i was speaking at a college commencement and had to get a tsa letter because i had shots to take with me. hello insurance. it covered a lot of it. >> that's a blessing. a

jayne, he was at nyu fertility., wow i'm learning a lot here about all the stuff affecting our body. gerri: i think our audience would love to hear this. you have to protect your fertility. i don't think young women think about that at all. it matters what you eat and do. give us examples. >> absolutely. one chapter have chapter i love. put down that drink. look out for that lipstick. don't eat too much bacon. exactly. the cosmetics we wear a number of lipsticks were found to have led. led leads to miscarriages. candles. vocs. volatile organic compounds are in candle does. when you're burning them actually these chemicals released in some of these candles are as toxic as cigarette smoke. you want soy-based candles. gerri: this talks about being a mother to be. we have pictures of you and john and the twins.

fertilizer alone will often double your output. so it's really that lack of knowledge, lack of credit that's standing in the way of this. we predict africa will be able to feed itself. today it imports $50 billion of food a year. it's ironic you got a country, a continent with 60% of the people are farmers importing food from the country where 2% of the people are farmers. >> rose: the other thing you talked about in terms of africa and you both talk about in hereir is that it's agriculture and health. >> absolutely. health is the precursor. if you don't grow up and live a healthy live you can't really participate in the economy. even in the family is dealing with three or four episodes of malaria in their family a year, it takes them out of the work force. so you have to do all the right things so a child grows up and is healthy. we look do they reach their fifth birthday. are they being fed a nutritious meal so they have the cognitive ability then to go on to school. is the mother not dying in childbirth. how doógtheir health is

most of the people live by farming the narrow, crucial bands of fertile land which stretch along the rivers. most of these farmers are sharecroppers, heavily indebted to the wealthy landlords who own the good land, tilling the reluctant earth with methods unchanged in a 1000 years or more. for them and for the thousands who flock to the cities in a hopeless effort to find something better, life is a primitive existence ridden with poverty, illiteracy, and disease. but if poverty is a common condition of the arab world, so too is the yearning to change this condition, to break out of the prison of the past and reach for the promise of a better life. the urge towards change is not peculiar to the middle east. the 20th century has heard its challenging cry around the globe, but nowhere more insistently than in this part of the world. the manifestations of change are everywhere. in the quiet modification of customs and social patterns centuries old, in savage street demonstrations which defy the old authorities and create new ones overnight. most important of all in the application of ne
