And World Food Needs, Vol. 1: Report of a Working Conference, Sponsored by the Agricultural Research Policy Advisory Committee (Arpac), Kansas City, Missouri, July 9-11, 1975 As a result of these trends, the public and the scientific community share even greater concern over the ability of this country's agri culture to adequately supply domestic needs and to help other coun tries meet their food requirements. Adequate domestic supply means enough nutrients to ensure health and well - being-a particular problem for less affluent citizens of the United States - and it raises a question of economics: How much of the household income must go for food? In any case, the level of output from crops and livestock and the effectiveness of pro cessing and marketing are crucial factors. Helping other countries meet their food requirements means not only providing food aid when shortage or disaster threaten but also putting agricultural science to work to increase and improve food supplies, especially in poor food deficit countries.

Book excerpt: A conference on the world food problem dealt with the chief factors that must be balanced in order to conquer world famine population numbers, on the one side, and resources, technology, and policy, on the other. Serious world-wide food shortages can be avoided at least until 1985, but concerted action will be needed to prevent localized famine in the world's more vulnerable regions. The US agricultural research system, involving a half-dozen Federal agencies and over 50 State research organizations (including universities), can effectively respond to the new challenges of increased food demand at home and abroad, provided that it maintains an adequate flexibility. The population problem is not uniform throughout the world; hence, no single population policy can apply to all countries. Policies are needed that vigorously promote research on population control, and on economic and social development, including food production. (wz)

Download or read book Animal Agriculture written by Wilson G. Pond and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980. Animal agriculture serves human needs. Three-fourths of the protein, one-third of the energy, most of the calcium and phosphorus and substantial amounts of essential vitamins and other minerals in the American diet are from animal products. Recognizing that innovative research holds the key to meeting these challenges, 210 concerned individuals convened at Boyne Mountain, Michigan, May 4 to 9, 1980. Their goal was to identify priorities for future research to enable animal agriculture to efficiently and effectively serve human needs in the 21st century. These proceedings represent the best collective judgment on research priorities by a group of informed and dedicated people concerned with the future role of animal agriculture in meeting human needs.
Download or read book Sustainable Intensification written by Jules N. Pretty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continued population growth, rapidly changing consumption patterns and the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are driving limited resources of food, energy, water and materials towards critical thresholds worldwide. These pressures are likely to be substantial across Africa, where countries will have to find innovative ways to boost crop and livestock production to avoid becoming more reliant on imports and food aid. Sustainable agricultural intensification - producing more output from the same area of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts - represents a solution for millions of African farmers. This volume presents the lessons learned from 40 sustainable agricultural intensification programmes in 20 countries across Africa, commissioned as part of the UK Government's Foresight project. Through detailed case studies, the authors of each chapter examine how to develop productive and sustainable agricultural systems and how to scale up these systems to reach many more millions of people in the future. Themes covered include crop improvements, agroforestry and soil conservation, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, horticulture, livestock and fodder crops, aquaculture, and novel policies and partnerships.
Download or read book Local Food Systems Concepts Impacts and Issues written by Steve Martinez and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of local food systems explores alternative definitions of local food, estimates market size and reach, describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers, and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. Defining ¿local¿ based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers¿ markets or to schools, is well recognized. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. For smaller farms, direct marketing to consumers accounts for a higher percentage of their sales than for larger farms. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 directed the U.S. Dept. of Agr. to conduct a 1-year study to assess the extent of areas with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, identify characteristics and causes of such areas, consider how limited access affects local populations, and outline recommend. to address the problem. This report presents the findings of the study, which include results from two conferences of national and internat. authorities on food deserts and a set of research studies. It also includes reviews of existing literature, a national-level assessment of access to large grocery stores and supermarkets, analysis of the economic and public health effects of limited access, and a discussion of existing policy interventions.

Download or read book The World Food Situation written by Pierre R. Crosson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 1970’s, global grain reserves were level and food prices were low however as the decade progressed crop production plummeted leading to a food crisis. Originally published in the aftermath in 1977, Crosson and Frederick set out to explore the ability of agricultural output to meet the global food demands of future generations. This study analyses how resources and environmental factors would affect food production in developing countries and the United States until the end of the 21st Century. The environmental impacts of land levels, fertiliser and pesticide use are explored in relation to the challenges of meeting food demands. This title will be of interest to students of environmental studies.
