Pompano Beach, Florida, March 13, 2014 – Blue World Crete, Inc., CEO, Robert Panitz and Himanshu Verma, Chairman of Navrattan Free Power Limited, announced their grand opening of their new Mumbai office of their joint venture company, Navrattan Blue Crete Industries. They are presently licensing regions of India with the newest Blue World Crete Technologies for manufacturing a high performance Green cement alternative for Portland cement. The new process for manufacturing their Blue Crete Fusion Binder takes full advantage of domestic and marine plants, even such plants as sea weed. The earlier process involved claims of utilizing algae only. The new process can now utilize a number of organic sources of feed stock which has improved the products ability to meet the economic and ecological challenge to Portland cement. The new venture between the two companies promises to take India by storm with high performance Green Concrete and low cost manufacturing which can be passed on to the consumer and business alike. The new process binder of BWC is a natural for low cost public housing and infrastructure. The growing economy in India is fertile ground for the launching of this newest of technologies for the Green cement/concrete formulation of BWC.

Art Galietti, Chief Operating Officer of BWC has told us that they have already licensed three major regions in India and are planning for the installation of cement plants capable of at minimum, one million metric tons per year. The new technology will not be in competition for fly ash used by the cement giants as this material is becoming more in demand around the world, as well as India. Blue Crete can take advantage of other pozzolan materials which are inexpensive and often just waste materials of other industries.

Blue World Crete has been on the march this last year in acquiring other world changing technologies to add to its corporate portfolio. Last month the company announced its joint venture relationship with a major university in Europe which has been a pioneer in using algae for agricultural purposes. CAP is a “Clean Algae Process” for the manufacture of a natural pesticide, growth enhancing and drought resistant product made from a natural process using algae. This new agricultural algae product will challenge many of the toxic and bioengineered products now used in the agricultural industry today.

Mr. Galietti has also informed us that a confidential partnership has been formed with a science and technology company located in Europe, which has built prototypes of a completely new technology in clean energy production. This technology is called EAS (Electric Amplification System) and can produce incredible amounts of electricity without a constant feed stock of fossil fuels, atomic energy, or hydro powered means. It can recycle its own energy feed stock in a closed loop system. Mr. Galietti has indicated that only a few groups of investors have been invited and allowed to witness the new prototypes located in Europe. More information will be available on CAP and EAS in future articles. Watch for them.

BWC is the company to keep track of in Green Technologies. For further information on Blue World Crete Inc. and the new innovations mentioned here, contact Mr. Art Galietti in their Florida corporate office at 954-978-9399, www.blueworldcrete.com or

In the context of the WTO, the issue relates to the effect of trade distorting subsidies on the related and interconnected aspects of a multi- functional agriculture. While it is known that subsidies to the dairy farmers in Europe and US depresses the domestic price of milk and milk products for the milk producers of the developing countries, it is difficult to assess the impact that non-rearing of cattle as an adjunct to the family farm will have on the multi-functionality of agriculture in larger parts of Asia and Africa. At a more fundamental level, the question is should the term for the milk and meat products of Europe and US be called the dairy farm sector, or the dairy industry for it is more in the nature of an industrial production process, rather than an agricultural operation. Proponents argue that the current patterns of agricultural subsidies, international trade and the related policy frameworks do not facilitate a transition towards an equitable agriculture and food trade relations or sustainable food and farming systems.

On the contrary, these have given rise to perverse impacts on natural resources and agro ecologies, as well as on human health and nutrition. Raj Patels book Stuffed and Starved which was reviewed by this column, subscribes to this view. They suggest that while knowledge, information and technologies of agriculture should have free circulation, agriculture production should be rooted in the local context and respond to the multiple needs of the community, and contribute those resources to the community which have traditionally beenassociated with agriculture. However, the other view, which also has a fair number of proponents, including those from the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) affiliated International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) argues that any attempt to remedy these outcomes by means of trade related instruments will weaken the efficiency of agricultural trade and lead to further distortions in the market. They argue that the number of rural households which do not depend on any kind of agricultural activity is rising, and therefore the multi-functionality has little meaning, especially for the poorest and most deprived sections, which do not have access to any land, including homestead land.

There is some empirical truth in this fact as well, for the numbers of landless labour in India (who do not have any rights over land) are more than the total number of marginal and small farmers. Thus, multi-functionality has no meaning for them, or the large numbers of the urban poor, whose primary concern is the access to affordable nutrition, rather than a return to the highly romanticized versions of bucolic climes!

AgriMatters would go with the proponents, because there are ways in which multi-functionality can be integrated into the lives of almost everyone who lives in the countryside. As governments and communities across the world recognize the right to

shelter, and the provision of a small plot for homestead land is getting the status of a Fundamental Right, it would be possible for landless workers to grow timber, vegetable, fruits and nuts both for self consumption, and the market, as also keep engaged in backyard poultry, duckery and a few goats and/or milch cattle. In other words, agriculture is so integral to the farmers and farm workers that it cannot be subject to decisions based on the manipulation /calibration of statistical tables and projected scenarios.
