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 2003-04-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Download or read book Interpreting Transitional Challenges Faced by Pennsylvania Dairy Farmers and Their Families written by Casey Branstetter and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pennsylvania dairy industry is in a time of transition. Farm facilities are becoming outdated and economic realities have shifted to larger-scale, more automated processing. In addition to the need for significant investments in facilities, the majority of principal farm operators are aging toward retirement or semi-retirement. Through in-depth interviews with nine Pennsylvania dairy farm families, this study documents and interprets the business and social concerns of dairy farm families as they address aging or other life-changes that affect their plans for transitioning out of the industry. The majority of participants reported enduring some type of major shock (death, divorce, drug abuse, injury, etc.) to their family and/or business, most often with negative impacts. Some farmers develop transition plans prior to major shocks happening. Others, unfortunately, do not plan until it is too late. Undesired consequences of having no succession plan in place may include substantial tax obligations and legal fees, the forced running of the business by unprepared owners, family conflict, and the division or liquidation of farm assets. Few previous studies analyze dairy farm succession planning in context of business shocks. Very little literature addresses the post-shock reality of farm businesses and families forced to decide how to transition after a major disturbance to the operation occurs. Further, existing literature fails to tie the issues faced by farm families together with existing assistance resources available to them, recommendations for additional investigation, or succession planning case study scenarios that they may be able to relate to for further guidance. Our small sample size of should not be generalized to the larger Pennsylvania dairy farm family population. However, the findings of this study do provide insight for farms with characteristics similar to its population. It is also fair to say that many, if not all, dairy farmers will find some observations here that may be applied to their own situation. The primary conclusions include recommendations for the development of new succession planning material and service resources, along with the identification of subject areas where industry experts might focus their efforts. It will be the combined job of dairy farmers and industry experts to apply these results toward continuation and long-term success of dairy farms in the state.
