While the negative impacts of drought are often disproportionately spread to low-income individuals, we have seen that windfall gains to agriculture create short-run spillovers to other industries . This spillover is likely to impact closely related industries in terms of input-output and exchange the most . In the case of agriculture, we understand this to …

Women tend to have elevated risk for common mental disorders compared to men
We expand on this prior work on infectious disease by testing whether this distinction might also be important for explaining common mental illness – a fundamental aspect of health that has been extensively demonstrated to show significant associations with poverty. The picture from decades of research from high-income countries is clear: worse socioeconomic status consistently …

Wood was manufactured into commodities that sustained the currant industry in Patras
During this time, there were two corresponding kinds of migration: migration by laborers and would-be landowners to existing currant-growing regions, and migration by colonists to undeveloped land and non-currant growing regions. With these two types of migration taken together, it is evident that, in the currant growing region of the Peloponnese, there was a general …
The studies on the Greek currant boom are written primarily from an economic perspective
As a result of harsher conditions in the lowlands and new crops from the Americas, from the middle of the sixteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, permanent settlement in the Mediterranean region became more concentrated in the hills and mountains. Populations that could not keep up with the drainage work in low-lying …
Availability issues were complicated by new purchasing policies at AgroPatria
Given this, financial institutions have come under governmental pressure to comply with banking regulations. In 2012 Chávez publically threatened banks in non-compliance with nationalization. In 2015, the Superintendent of theBanking Sector of Venezuela fined BancoCaribe bank 280 million bolívars for failing to fulfill agricultural lending requirements in parts of 2014 . The percentage of lending to the …

A focused trapping effort in these areas during winter will help limit breeding numbers
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 …
The formal models are inadequate in producing desirable results
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 …

Livestock are an important source of both CH4 and N2O emissions in Yolo County
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 …

For all crops other than rice the fraction of area burned each year was held constant over the study period
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 alluvial plains support a diverse set of irrigated perennial and row crops
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 …
