New rules implemented by the European Union now allow individual member states to block farmers from using GM organisms, even if the variety has been approved on an EU-wide basis. As TrueActivist shared before, Scotland was quick to take up that opportunity.

To “preserve the country’s clean and green brand,” Scotland chose to ‘opt out’ of growing GMO crops. And now, Germany is following suit.

As Independent.UK reports, Germany has begun taking the steps necessary to ban the use of all genetically modified (GM) crops.

As the public becomes increasingly more educated on topics concerning health and sustainability, more and more people are beginning to take action by choosing to consume more natural, wholesomely produced food.

But as the US government has operated largely by giving farmers subsidies to grow genetically engineered crops – most of which is used to support animal agriculture – it is now in a tough spot of striving to meet consumer demand for organic produce and keep the old system afloat.

As evident in Bloomberg’s recent report, big shifts are underway:

“Most of the corn and soybean shipments become feed for chickens and cows so they can be certified organic under U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines. Organic poultry and dairy operators shun feed made from Monsanto Co. and other domestic suppliers in favor of foreign products even as the U.S. remains the world’s top grower of corn and soybeans. As a result, importance to the United States of Romanian corn rose to $11.6 million in 2014 from $545,000 the year before. Soybean imports from India more than doubled to $73.8 million.”

Note that avocado trees generally do best in places with mild winters. A green house may be needed for them to produce in colder climates.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to growing your own avocado tree.

Avocados are highly nutritious and flavored, whether we’re talking about salad, guacamole, or straight up! They are a key staple for a nutritious and delicious diet. Try growing an avocado tree at home if you don’t like making regular trips to the grocery store for your daily supply of fresh avocados, can’t find organic ones, or are fed up with spending so much for quality produce. It’s surprisingly easy. You will see how you too can get a full–grown avocado tree from a little seed in 10 easy steps. Here’s what you need to do:

Think that money and spirituality don’t mix? You’d be wrong.

The level of abundance in your life in any area (love, friendship, success or finances) is a reflection of your inner state – what you hold in your mind and heart.

Want to create a healthy and loving wealth consciousness?

Here are 7 ways to transform your money mindset.

1. Forgive your past.

So many of our unquestioned beliefs and behaviour patterns today around money are simply things we picked up at childhood or our past. They are not true and they don’t serve our highest good.

Forgiveness is a way to release them from our heart and energy field, so we are no longer blindly re-creating the same patterns and keeping ourselves stuck at the same level of abundance.

Grab a piece of paper and write down all of the painful memories you have around money – involving your parents, lovers, bosses or even yourself – that make you feel icky, stressed, anxious or frustrated.

Like the sea, you will experience an ebb and flow to your life. The sea knows its own rhythmic nature and wants for nothing else than to continue its journey. So should you remember yours. ~ Creator

ASCENSION PROCESS   The word “ascension” has many meanings, depending on your cultural beliefs. The term literally means, “to rise above.” What is it that you are rising above? It is the menial nature of humanity. All of you have the ability to rise above mundane living and live in a world you co-create with others, both on Earth and with those living in other Dimensions.

Time and space are illusions to allow this experience to feel real. There was no other way for you to have the experience of Not-Love when you were fully immersed in Love. Birthing into a Realm where you have forgotten your true roots allows you this experience. Many of you have been on Earth for scores of lifetimes and have now tired of the tedious nature of mundane living, having experienced all there is to offer here.

We suggest you no longer be concerned with the “what ifs” and spend your time making the changes necessary in order to fill today with joy and peace. What do you need to do in order for this to happen? It is imperative that you take time each day to monitor what you are feeling and then make changes in the areas that cause you unrest.
