		<description><![CDATA[For this second post in the &#8220;Sustainable Agriculture on Cleantech Blog&#8221; series, I decided to invite Dave Doll, UC Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, and fellow blogger at Almond Doctor Blog, to share his expert knowledge about irrigation management for agricultural crops. Agricultural use of water within California use has been a media magnet these days. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Marguerite Manteau-Rao I got a sneak preview of Scientific American’s Earth 3.0 special issue on ‘Solutions for Sustainable Progress’. Mostly great stuff, with the exception of one article, that prompted me to write this rebuttal. In ‘Learning from the Internet’, Robert M.

		<description><![CDATA[by Marguerite Manteau-Rao Social media and sustainability may align in at least ten ways, according to Max Gladwell, but they certainly do not intersect very much in actuality. Proof is this quick search I conducted on Twitter, of last 24 hours of business conversations on &#8220;sustainability&#8221;, &#8220;clean tech&#8221; and &#8220;green&#8221;. Here are the results.
