    The Renaissance of Local, Seasonal, and Sustainable Flowers

    SLOW FLOWERS The renaissance of local, Americanseasonal, and sustainable Beauty flowers By Debra Prinzing The Slow Flowers Movement helps The Slow Flowers Movement is rooted in a single question: connect consumers with flowers. “Do you know where your flowers come from?”Unfortunately, It also gives voice to flower farmers, most people do not.

And it supports percent – said “yes.” So the issue isn’t whether consumers want their flowers to innovative florists, shops, and studios come from nearby farms and their purchases to benefit local farm who (like those progressive chefs) economies. Rather, it’s an issue of transparency, choice, and access. My interest in the revival of domestic cut flowers has taken me believe that local sourcing is a core across the country to meet growers raising beautiful crops on small and large farms from Alaska to Florida, from the Southwest to New principle of their company values. England. Many of the stories I gathered have appeared in magazines and newspapers, and finally in a book aptly called The 50 Mile Bouquet (St. Lynn’s Press, 2012), which documented pioneering flower farmers, progressive floral designers, and inspired DIY flower lovers. Then, I spent one full year creating a floral arrangement every week, using only what my garden provided or what I procured from local flower farms in my region, the Pacific Northwest.

    Regional Office Consultant (National) Reference No: C 53 ONE CONSULTANT for the RAKHINE STATE OFFICE Date of Issue: 03 Nov 2020 Background

    Terms of Reference and Scope of Services Assignment Title: Regional Office Consultant (National) Reference No: C 53 ONE CONSULTANT for the RAKHINE STATE OFFICE Date of Issue: 03 Nov 2020 Background The Republic of the Union of Myanmar has received financing from the World Bank towards the cost of its NCDD Project which is being implemented by the Department of Rural Development (DRD) of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Irrigation. NCDDP Cycle 5 is currently being implemented in 63 townships (see the below table), and will expand to a peak of 76 townships in Year 6 (2020). In each township, the NCDDP was originally implemented with the support of a township level technical assistance team (TTA) (procured by DRD and provided by a mix of domestic and international firms and NGOs). The TTA teams provided technical assistance and capacity building support to the township DRD teams for the initial operations in each township and the State/ Regional project offices are well organized with an adequate project staff to have close supervision/ administration to and liaising role between the Union and township levels. For detail, please visit http://cdd.drdmyanmar.org/ Rationale A total of 11 (eleven) State/ Regional Office consultants were recruited and contracted under 12 months’ assignment in October 2019. However, the consultant for Rakhine State office could not be mobilized due to less of interest by the applicants. The NCDDP is being implemented for its 4 project years in the two townships namely GWA and PONNAGYUN started in cycle 5 in 2017 and in 2020 or the 6th cycle, one more township is confirmed for further extension of the project implementation in Manaung township.
