Raiding the internet fridge for your intellectual delectation ...

- Paula Crossfield walks through the first phase of setting up a raised bed roof garden at CivilEats.

- The Ethicurean catches a story on the emerging field of biopesticide research, which aims to protect crops without toxic side effects. Hopefully, this won't go the way of Bt.

- Writing at the Green Fork, Kerry Trueman tells us that farming is all the rage these days. Which dooms me to hopeless uncoolness, as we don't even get enough sun to grow eats on the deck of my yardless apartment.

- Ali Savino at the new blog, Gastronomalies, points to a TED talk about a seed saving program that can save endangered plant species for the bargain basement price of $2800. You can be sure it would cost more than that to create a replacement.

- At LaVidaLocavore, Jill Richardson highlights the massacre of indigenous free trade protestors in Peru, whose complaints about their government's theft of their land for corporate use include biofuel plantations.
