Anything we can find out now can be used by regulators to make more informed decisions.” Letourneau takes nothing for granted as the research gets under way. The project will use a large number of sample plants on varied research sites, and the experiments will be replicated over three years. Hazards of GM corn, including …

If our use of natural resources precludes future generations from using these resources, then it may not be a just policy when viewed from the eyes of future generations. In particular, using Rawlsian notion of justice, when generations make decision using veil of ignorance about which generation they belong to, if they are unlikely to …

A defined urban boundary that reduces the area of interaction between urban and agricultural landscapes, however, could reduce any potential heat island and runoff effects on agriculture. By leaving larger tracts of agricultural landscapes intact, the interface problems are, to a degree, mitigated.Population expansion in Yolo County, the Sacramento Region, and northern California in general …

Fuel use for irrigation pumping was calculated as the product of the number of diesel‐ powered irrigation pumps in the county, the estimated annual activity of each pump , the average brake horsepower of pump engines in the Yolo/Solano Air Quality Management District, and the brake specific fuel consumption per hour . As of 2003, …

The lower metal-humus complexes of Andisols in the present study as compared to Andisols from Réunion Island could be associated with the higher annual rainfall and temperature under tropical conditions that accelerated organic matter decomposition. In our study the negative correlation between soil pH and Fep and Alp was observed indicating favorable conditions for organo-metal complex …

Participants mentioned that specific technologies or technical messages were often provided to farmers through interaction with the SANE representatives tackle agricultural and climate adaptation challenges with a focus on nutrition-sensitive agriculture. SANE representatives are also members of the NACDC. CGIARs and NACDC have in-degree scores of 4 and 3, respectively. Several participants noted that CGIARs …

There has been an overall agreement that past policies have been inefficient and that income-support policies “overshot” in assuring and providing food supply and have become too costly and barely affordable. This suggests the need for “decoupling”-setting entitlements criteria that do not affect production while attaining other objectives. Government policies have resulted in substantial excesses …

Micrographs and panoramic images were taken with an FEI transmission electron microscope at an acceleration voltage of 80 kV with a TVIPS TemCamF416 digital camera using the software EM-MENU . Panoramic images were aligned with the software IMOD.Sharp drops in employment have characterized the economic transition occurring in Central and Eastern Europe. Their persistence has been a surprise to …

Since Mn dust loading is likely to be on the casual pathway for some of our predictors of exposure, such as farm worker shoes in the home and proximity to agricultural use of Mn fungicides, we used a structural equation model to evaluate casual pathways of exposure in the model that included participants with Mn dust …
