 Raglan roast
Raglan, surf
paradise in Nieuw Zeeland. Dit is waar alle surfers en aanverwante
sportievelingen die wat kleur in hun leven willen hebben naar toe komen. Je
kunt de serieuze geur van het koffie roosten al twee straten ver weg ruiken. En
als je er bent dan is er top barista Robert die je een keuze geeft van een
varieteit van geweldige koffie. Als je weet wat goed voor je is dan kun je
Raglan aan de westkust van de Waikato niet voorbij lopen.

Vast tracts of the Northern Sahara used to be lush and green, supporting elephants and lions long ago. Much of the deforestation and desert creep happened well before mankind even imagined all kinds of CO2 producing inventions.

What did not help was mankind keeping goats and using farming methods not keeping pace with population growth.
The oil palm in this picture is barely 24 years old, yet it already shows four growth bursts indicating a return cycle of between four and six years. Ideally it ought to be more like sixteen years.
If you can find a copy, I suggest reading Ritchie Calder's book 'Men Against the Desert'.
