This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bounded to the west by Georgia Strait, the US/Canada border to the south, with the Coast and Cascade Mountains forming the north and southeast boundaries, the Valley is a distinct geographic area (Figure 1). [...] The financial feasibility of the different manure management options varied from one farm to the other, depending on the type of farm, size of farm and the availability of pasture land. [...] The initiative focused on activities which would help describe the overall extent of the problem as well as track the type and number of problems in the Lower Fraser Valley. [...] An interesting component of the study was the development of a farm rating system for comparing the "potential" for the contamination of surface water and groundwater from agricultural operations. [...] This was done largely through the development of an information base on the nature of the complaints, the location in the LFV and whether it was resolved.

Download or read book High Steaks written by Eleanor Boyle and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year the average North American ingests well over two hundred pounds of animal protein. Meanwhile the global appetite for meat has increased dramatically. But feeding our meat addiction comes at tremendous cost. Maintaining our current level of consumption is ecologically impossible in the longterm and undermines our personal health and community well-being. High Steaks documents the disastrous consequences of modern large-scale industrial meat production and excessive consumption, including: *The loss of vast tracts of arable land and fresh water to intensive livestock production *Increased pollution, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, and accelerating climate change *The environmental and health impacts of too much animal fat, and of antibiotics and other chemicals in our food. Timely and compelling, this powerful book offers a modest, commonsense approach to a serious problem, suggesting strategies for all of us to cut back on our consumption of animal products and ensure that the meat we do consume is produced in a sustainable, ecologically responsible manner. At the same time, High Steaks describes progressive food policy shifts that will discourage factory farming and encourage people to eat in ways that support ecosystems and personal health. Eleanor Boyle has been teaching and writing for twenty-five years, with a focus on food systems and their social, environmental, and health consequences. As well as working with organizations aiming for better food policy, she holds an MSc in food policy and is an instructor at the Centre for Sustainability at the University of British Columbia.

This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keith Culver and David Castle Introduction Aquaculture is at the leading edge of a surprisingly polarized debate about the way we produce our food. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, aquaculture production has increased 8. 8% per year since 1970, far surpassing productivity gains in terrestrial meat production at 2. 8% in the same period (FAO 2007). Like the ‘green revolution’ before it, the ‘blue revolution’ in aquaculture promises rapidly increased productivity through technology-driven - tensi?cation of aquaculture animal and plant production (Costa-Pierce 2002; The Economist 2003). Proponents of further aquaculture development emphasize aq- culture’s ancient origins and potential to contribute to global food security d- ing an unprecedented collapse in global ?sheries (World Fish Center; Meyers and Worm 2003; Worm et al. 2006). For them, technology-driven intensi?cation is an - dinary and unremarkable extension of past practice. Opponents counter with images of marine and freshwater environments devastated by intensive aquaculture pr- tices producing unsustainable and unhealthy food products. They view the promised revolutionasascam,nothingmorethanclever marketingbypro?t-hungry ?shfa- ers looking for ways to distract the public from the real harms done by aquaculture. The stark contrast between proponents and opponents of modern aquaculture recalls decades of disputes about intensive terrestrial plant and animal agriculture, disputes whose vigor shows that the debate is about much more than food production (Ruse and Castle 2002).
