Economy of Love is a holistic sustainability standard inspired by SEKEM in Egypt. It supports biodynamic agriculture while integrating ecological, social, cultural, and economic efforts within the value chain. Through training, certification, and an innovative nature credit system, EoL enables farmers to improve soil health, increase biodiversity, plant trees, produce compost and earn additional income by reducing CO2 emissions through solar pumps. Since its launch, over 30,000 farmers have adopted EoL practices, transforming desert areas into productive farmland and contributing to (...) climate mitigation. The initiative promotes fair trade, strengthens rural communities, and emphasizes education and cultural development. By aiming to include 250,000 farmers by 2028 and introducing biodiversity and water credits, EoL offers a practical and values-driven model that can be scaled in Egypt and beyond. (shrink)

Older and younger adults' abilities to use context information rapidly during ambiguity resolution were investigated. In Experiments 1 and 2, younger and older adults heard ambiguous words (e.g., fires) in sentences where the preceding context supported either the less frequent or more frequent meaning of the word. Both age groups showed good context use in offline tasks, but only young adults demonstrated rapid use of context in cross‐modal naming. A 3rd experiment demonstrated that younger and older adults had similar knowledge (...) about the contexts used in Experiments 1 and 2. The experiment results were simulated in 2 computational models in which different patterns of context use were shown to emerge from varying a single speed parameter. These results suggest that age‐related changes in processing efficiency can modulate context use during language comprehension. (shrink)
