What is it? The WWOOF program allows you to work in an organic farm in exchange for food and accommodation. You pay for the membership, but the rest is free. What does WOOF stand for?
WWOOF stands for World-wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It was founded in 1971 by an English woman, Sue Coppard. Back then the program was called Working Weekends on Organic Farms and the first working weekend took place in Sussex, at the biodynamic farm at Emerson College.  Woof Woof! Image © Eldan.

What is it? It's the process of making compost, i.e. the aerobically decomposed remnants of biodegradable material. Compost is then typically used to enrich the soil in gardening and farming (but it can also be used for other purposes, for example to control erosion, cover landfills and construct wetlands). Why is it good for the world? It is a way of recycling biodegradable waste, such as vegetable peelings and tea bags, and improving soil quality. |

What are they?
They are the small, round, black-purple fruit of the Açaí palm, found in Central and South America, and especially in the Amazon jungle (they are sometimes referred to as the 'wine of the Amazon').
Why are they a pleasure?
They taste like blackcurrants with a hint of chocolate and make deep purple smoothies, which are great topped with granola and slices of banana.
