“Orange juice for breakfast is over,” an investor interested in creating large, fair trade coconut plantations recently joked to me. These days, coconut water is king.
For the trendy and the wealthy, including celebrities such as Rihanna, Madonna or Matthew McConaughey, rarest coconut water extracted from the aromatic varieties of the nut, is the “it” drink and even a source of income.
Coconut water is being sold by luxury brands, at up to US$7 for 33 cl, about the same price as basic champagne.
There is no doubt that the coconut market is exploding. Coconut water currently represents an annual turnover of US$2 billion. It is expected to reach US$4 billion in the next five years.
In 2007, a 25% stake in Vitacoco, the largest brand for coconut water, was sold for US$7 million to Verlinvest company. Seven years later, another 25% stake in Vitacoco was again sold to Red Bull China for about US$166 million.
Other large players in the coconut water business include Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, but more than 200 brands are now marketing coconut water.
But there’s another side to the story. The coconut is one of 35 food crops listed in Annex 1 of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and considered crucial to global food security. In 2014, the Food and Agriculture Organization estimated global production to be 61.5 million tonnes.
It is an important livelihood crop for more than 11 million farmers, most of whom are smallholders, cultivating coconut palms on around 12 million hectares of land in at least 94 countries worldwide. The coconut palm is popularly known as the “Tree of Life” – all its parts are useful.
The main products are copra – the dried inner meat of the nut, used for oil – and the husk, which provides a vital source of fibre. More recently, as we’ve seen, there is also high demand for tender coconut water and virgin coconut oil.
Whole mature nuts are exported and sold to factories that produce desiccated coconut and coconut cream. At least half of the coconuts are consumed locally.
Over millennia, humans have slowly selected and maintained numerous coconut varieties, used for many purposes.
This has resulted in an extraordinary morphological diversity, which is expressed in the range of colours, shapes and sizes of the fruits. But the extent of this diversity is largely unknown at the global level. The huge amount of work that has gone into coconut breeding by farmers over millennia, and by scientists during the 20th century, remains greatly under-valued.
The rarest coconut varieties, for instance the horned coconut, grown and conserved on the Tetiaroa Atoll and in India, are not even recognised as coconuts by most people, especially Westerners.
The genetic diversity found in coconut populations and varieties, known by scientists as “germplasm”, is conserved by millions of small farmers.
A number of initiatives have been launched to recognise and support the role of these farmers, and to sustain them by promoting landscape management approaches, such as the Polymotu concept (“poly” meaning many, and “Motu” meaning island in Polynesian.)
The Polymotu concept capitalises on the geographical or reproductive isolation of various species for the conservation and reproduction of individual varieties of plants, trees and even animals.
In a project led by the Pacific Community and funded by the Global Crop Diversity Trust, two small islands in Samoa have been recently replanted with the famous traditional niu afa variety, which produces the largest coconut fruits in the world, reaching more than 40 cm long.
Sadly, the coconut is endangered. One of the main challenges of coconut cultivation is the existence of lethal diseases, which are rapidly expanding and killing millions of palms. These pandemics are known as lethal yellowing diseases.
The diseases ravage countries in Africa (in Tanzania, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire), and also in Asia (India), North America (Mexico, the Caribbean, Florida) and the Pacific Region (Papua New Guinea, and probably Solomon Islands).
Many coconut varieties that could be crucial for the future of agriculture are disappearing because of the loss of traditional knowledge, rapid transformations of agricultural landscapes, climate change and westernisation.
Due to the fragility of insular ecosystems, the Pacific Region is probably the location where the losses are highest.
During a recent survey in the Cook Islands, we succeeded with considerable difficulty in locating a sweet husk palm, known as niu mangaro locally. This is a rare, highly threatened form of coconut.
The husk of its unripe fruit, which in other species is usually tough and astringent, is tender, edible and sweet. It can be chewed like sugarcane. Once the fruits are ripe, the husk fibres are white and thin.
Our survey was conducted together with a government agricultural officer. During the work, he took a tender coconut and started to chew the husk. Then he stopped, telling me, “I do not want people here to see me eating niu mangaro, because they will say I am a poor man.”
The consumption of traditional varieties being still perceived as socially stigmatising, not embracing a “modern” way of life. On the other hand, the consumption of imported food is considered as a mark of modernity and richness.
During another survey conducted in 2010 in Moorea Island, a Polynesian farmer interviewed about sweet husk varieties, known as kaipoa there, told me:
I had one kaipoa coconut palm in my farm, but I cut it down two years ago … Over ten years, I was unable to harvest a single fruit: all were stolen and eaten by children from the neighbourhood.
So, a traditional variety remains appreciated by the next generation of Polynesians, but the farmer is not aware of the rarity and of the cultural value of the resource.
The social and economic factors affecting coconut conservation have been the subject of discussion at two international meetings organised in 2016 by the Asia and Pacific Coconut Community in Indonesia and the Central Plantation Crop Research Institute in India.
Discussions included the constraints and advantages related to coconut biology; links with conservation in institutional field gene banks; farmer’s knowledge regarding the reproductive biology of their crop; socioeconomic dynamics; and policy measures.
The International Coconut Genetic Resources Network (COGENT) now comprises 41 coconut-producing countries, representing more than 98% of global production. Its activities are focused on conservation and breeding of coconut varieties.
Coconut germplasm is represented by about 400 varieties and 1,600 accessions in 24 genebanks. Accessions are the basic units of genebanks.
In the case of the coconut palm, each accession is generally constituted of 45 to 150 palms, all collected at the same location. They are documented in a Coconut Genetic Resources Database and a global catalogue.
COGENT also works on sequencing the coconut genome, in the framework of a collaboration between research organisations in Côte d’Ivoire, France and China.
Despite the upturn in the global market, many coconut farmers remain insufficiently organised, and investment in coconut research is incredibly scarce.
A yearly investment of about US$3 to US$5 million in public international research would be enough to address most of the challenges of coconut agriculture. But private companies benefiting from the market boom are still scarcely involved in research funding.
The coconut is a perennial crop, producing fruit year-round, but it takes a long time to grow. Investors, more interested in rapid profits, remain reluctant to fund the ten-year research programmes that are often needed to efficiently address the challenges of coconut research.
In coconut-producing countries, under-resourced genebanks and laboratories lack the necessary budget, labour, equipment and technical training to conduct the controlled hand-pollinations required for regenerating the germplasm, and to implement other activities such as collecting, characterisation and breeding.
Coconut water brands will only make billions as long as coconuts are plentiful and diverse. More importantly, people all over the world rely on the security of this vital crop. Securing its future must be a priority for everyone who farms, eats and profits from the coconut.

The observer seems to be asking: I have an arch over
the head? I reply with the following article.
My wife pointed out to me, in Facebook, some comments
about the Alvu nuraghe Pozzomaggiore, particularly of Saba friends

in the beautiful booklet “The fly in the bottle” clarifies the importance of
common sense).
Sometimes it is, however,

The beam must be made with material that resists
compression and traction. Over instead it is sufficient that the material
resist compression. Every component, Ashlar, is just crushed, never

Meanwhile, first, never mind the priorities and historical dating,

The latter solution is diabolical (the Arabs say the

The figure that I have taken from “Voices of Technology

So notice the chatter.
While the formal visual point of view can be confused and

difference between bow and the beam is substantial: the beam transmits loads

It is nevertheless quite clear that I am dealing with the topic

of the past with our current categories. In other words the builders
nuragici had definitely not in the head, the beam, the arch, the reactions, the

But at the same Alvu there are other situations: there is a

Then there is the wonderful state of horizontal arch compulsion

dome that I always tried to explain (v. “Accabadora” and “Sa ‘ena”) although
with little success.

is Brunelleschi, or the Sardinians have preceded it? But also in the trulli is present
the same artifice, as well as in the ancient Abruzzo shelters … What meaning does
laughable claim of priority?
It is not enough to say that the Nuragic builders
brought the art of building dry at the highest teaching authority of this technology
and also that precisely in this report, for the most incomprehensible, resides the
nuragica particular culture?
Just understanding the thin frozen construction arcane
in nuraghi was the driving force that prompted me to write “Accabadora,

Poor those people who needs inventive priority

“the wonderful thing about tiggers is tiggers are wonderful things.”
the clouded leopard is the most ancient type of cat alive today, with all other living cats sharing their genetic blue print. it is from them that today’s species of cats inherited their razor sharp canines, heightened senses, extreme agility and climbing skills. but they are now so rare that little is known about them, including just how many are left in the wild.
what we do know is than that they continue to live high in tree tops like their ancient cat ancestors, using their long tails for balance. and that they, like all cats, are one of the few animals who lack a fear of heights. but unlike a typical house cat that can get stuck up in a tree, the clouded leopard can rotate its paws to climb down head first.

According to a third of respondents (32%), restrictions on access to certain sites can be used to restrict the activities of civil society activists, infringe on civil liberties.
The opposite opinion is shared by 44% of Russians.
According to the survey, every second Russian doubts that the Internet will replace newspapers, radio and television, but one-third (31%) believe the opposite in the future.
Information about events in the country, which is distributed on the main television channels, in one way or another trusted by 90%, do not trust – 7% of respondents.
The credibility of the same information from the Internet below – 73% against 10% “distrustful” of Russians and 18% were undecided.
The Russian government is very friendly and openly on the Internet.

Танята «Масон» слово французское, буквально означающее «каменщик», поэтому по полному праву всех строителей можно называть «масонами».
Масоны себя назвали «каменщиками», потому как считают, что выполняют работу верховного архитектора Бога.
официально День строи́теля — профессиональный праздник работников строительной отрасли. Отмечается ежегодно во второе воскресенье августа в России и некоторых других странах, являющихся бывшими республиками Советского Союза.
6 сентября 1955 года вышел Указ Президиума Верховного Совета СССР „Об установлении ежегодного праздника «Дня строителя»“.
Праздник обязан своим появлением Первому секретарю ЦК КПСС Никите Сергеевичу Хрущёву, который был восхищён строительством Жигулёвской ГЭС, что в итоге и привело к Указу Президиума ВС СССР.
12 августа 1956 года работники строительной отрасли Советского Союза впервые отметили свой профессиональный праздник.
После распада СССР профессиональный праздник «День строителя» по-прежнему ежегодно отмечается во второе воскресенье августа месяца в России, Армении, Белоруссии,Украине, Казахстане, Кыргызстане
С 2011 года решением Министерства регионального развития Российской Федерации День строителя в России объявлен федеральным праздником.
