ECOGANIC BANANAS
GO TO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9z-dCZMrD4
Given that this video has been watched by so few and apparently rather few BANANAgrowers is lamentable. Clearly the Sciaccas have much yet to offer.
One has to wonder what they might be achieved with the production and marketing of plantain bananas, non Musa acuminata Cavendish bananas, banana flowers, banana stem and banana fibre even. If the likes of Dianne & Frank Sciacca received the encouragement it seems they didn't get from 'the industry' or government were might the industry be right now?
Dianne & Frank Sciacca's ACTION RESEARCH deserves to get more recognition than it has and especially so in regard to the PANAMA TR4 PROGRAM. It seems that ECOGANICfarming has something to offer and more to the point the funding to fight TR4 might well be better spent on other things.

BANANA RESEARCH
LINK |
Then comes what is all too often past of as research is initiated by 'the industry'. Consequently, it seems much of it hardly qualifies as 'research' leading to new and better understandings. Since the growing of bananas is an important agricultural activity and the banana plant is an important 'food source' there is a need for more research that leads to new and better understandings of its potential.
RESEARCH is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings. This could include synthesis and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and creative outcomes. This definition of research is consistent with a broad notion of research and experimental development (R&D) as comprising of creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of humanity, culture and society, and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications.Sunday, April 24, 2022

SOMETHING BANANA TO LEARN HERE
- Not every household will have a 'kitchen' such as this one – not many in China as well;
- Culturally, within China and the Chinese diaspora there is an inclination to exploit the food possibilities of a 'resource' fully;
- There are DEEPhistories at work in this material;
- The FOODculture on display here is typically 'romantically exoticised' in Australia and thus discounted within Australia's PERIcolonial sensibilities and sensitivities ... sadly.
