Download or read book Feeding the World written by Vaclav Smil and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2001-08-24 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A realistic yet encouraging look at how society can change in ways that will allow us to feed an expanding global population. This book addresses the question of how we can best feed the ten billion or so people who will likely inhabit the Earth by the middle of the twenty-first century. He asks whether human ingenuity can produce enough food to support healthy and vigorous lives for all these people without irreparably damaging the integrity of the biosphere. What makes this book different from other books on the world food situation is its consideration of the complete food cycle, from agriculture to post-harvest losses and processing to eating and discarding. Taking a scientific approach, Smil espouses neither the catastrophic view that widespread starvation is imminent nor the cornucopian view that welcomes large population increases as the source of endless human inventiveness. He shows how we can make more effective use of current resources and suggests that if we increase farming efficiency, reduce waste, and transform our diets, future needs may not be as great as we anticipate. Smil's message is that the prospects may not be as bright as we would like, but the outlook is hardly disheartening. Although inaction, late action, or misplaced emphasis may bring future troubles, we have the tools to steer a more efficient course. There are no insurmountable biophysical reasons we cannot feed humanity in the decades to come while easing the burden that modern agriculture puts on the biosphere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feed Situation: December 1947 The total supply of byproduct feeds available for livestock feeding in 1947-48, based on December crop estimates, is expected to be about 19 million tons compared with the record of million tons in 1946-47. The supply of oilseed cake and meal available for livestock feeding is expected to total about million tons cnmpared with 5. 8 million tons in 1946-47. The total protein feed supply, including both vegetable and animal proteins, is about as large as uthe large supplies in other-resent years; and is near-record per animal unit on farms. Production of distillers' dried grains and corn gluten feed and meal is expected to be considerably smaller than in 1946-47.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feed Situation: September 1944 Prosnects for feed crops as a whole showed considerable improvement during August, the corn cron improving to the extent of about 172 million bushels from August 1 to September 1. Production of the four principal feed grains during iona, on the basis of September 1 conditions, is expected to total about 117 million tons, 2 million tons more than in lquj, and only about million tons less than the all-time record iqme production. Total supplies of feed grains for the, lqmu - u5 feeding year are estimated at million tons. This would be 2 percent below the 1qu3_uu supply, but the third largest on record. The supply may be 13 to 15 percent larger per animal unit on farms January 1 than in 19h3 - MM, and about equal to the 5 year (1938 - M2) average. Also the domestic wheat supply for lghh-ms is about as. Large as last year's near-record supply. Feed grain reserves could be built up to some extent in 19hh - M5, unless livestock - feed requirements exceed present estimates. Prices of feed grains are likely to average somewhat lower in lent-m5 than in 19h3_uh. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feed Situation, Vol. 6: January 26, 1940 The current unfavorable livestock feed ratios probably will tend to curtail livestock production and feeding during 19uo, just as favorable ratios were an important factor in the sharp increase in hog production and in cattle feeding during the past 2 years. Present indications are that the 19no spring pig crop in most areas will be smaller than that of 1939. The number of cattle going into feed lots during the last half of 19mo may also be reduced.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feed Situation, Vol. 97: March 1948 Larger supplies of feed grains than in the present feeding season are in prospect for 1948 - 49, if farmers plant as many acres to feed crops as they planned on March 1 and yields are about average. This could result in lower feed prices and more favorable livestock - feed price ratios. Livestock numbers during 1948 are expected to continue the downward trend of the past few years. Farmers planned to increase the total acreage of the 4 principal feed grains in 1948 about 3 percent above the 19h? Acreage, according to the Prospective Plantings report of March 1. An increase of 8 percent is planned in oats acreage, 5 percent in barley, and 11 percent in sorghums for all purposes. The planned corn acreage is about the same as that in 1947, Which was the smallest acreage planted in over 50 years. But if yields this year equal the 1942 - 46 average, the crop would be about one - fourth larger than last year's small harvest.

This book was released on 2000-05-16 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As members of the public becomes more concious of the food they consume and its content, higher standards are expected in the preparation of such food. The updated seventh edition of Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle explores the impact of cattle's biological, production, and environmental diversities, as well as variations on nutrient utilization and requirements. More enhanced than previous editions, this edition expands on the descriptions of cattle and their nutritional requirements taking management and environmental conditions into consideration. The book clearly communicates the current state of beef cattle nutrient requirements and animal variation by visually presenting related data via computer-generated models. Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle expounds on the effects of beef cattle body condition on the state of compensatory growth, takes an in-depth look at the variations in cattle type, and documents the important effects of the environment and stress on food intake. This volume also uses new data on the development of a fetus during pregnancy to prescribe nutrient requirements of gestating cattle more precisely. By focusing on factors such as product quality and environmental awareness, Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle presents standards and advisements for acceptable nutrients in a complete and conventional manner that promotes a more practical understanding and application.

Download or read book The Feeding of the Nine Billion written by Alex Evans and published by Royal Institute for International Affairs. This book was released on 2009 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global food prices have eased significantly from their record highs in the first part of 2008. As a worldwide economic downturn has gathered pace, commodity markets have weakened significantly. By October 2008, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Food Price Index stood at 164, the same level as in August 2007, and 25% lower than the Index's high of 219 in June 2008. However, this does not mean that policy-makers around the world can start to breathe a sigh of relief. For one thing, even at their somewhat diminished levels current prices remain acutely problematic for low-income import-dependent countries and for poor people all over the world. The World Bank estimates that higher food prices have increased the number of undernourished people by as much as 100 million from its pre-price-spike level of 850 million.

During most of the l9ml-m7 period, feed prices were low in relation to livestock prices, and production of livestock and livestock products increased rapidly. Livestock feed requirements became greater than feed production, although production of feed crops was large. Feed-grain reserves were reduced during this period to below average.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feed Situation: Sept. 21, 1956 The hay supply for 1956-57 is estimated at 125 million tons, 3 million tons less than in 1955-56, and a little below average in relation to the roughage consuming livestock on farms. Hay crops are short and pastures have been below average in much of the Great Plains and the Western Corn Belt, and in areas of the South. The bumper soybean crop is expected to provide a re cord supply of soybean meal, bringing the total high protein feed supply above last year's high level. The general rise in feed grain prices during the 1955-56 season brought the mid-august index of prices received by farmers to 27 percent above the seasonal low of last fall, and 13 percent higher than a year earlier. Higher prices this summer reflect smaller crops and higher price supports for oats, barley and sorghum grains, and small market receipts and declining stocks of free corn. While corn prices are expected to decline seasonally as the 1956 crop is harvested, the general level of feed grain prices prob ably uill be a little higher this fall and winter than a year earlier. Prices of many of the high protein feeds have declined since July after advancing from March through June. In August and early September they were generally close to a year earlier. The price of soybean meal has been low in recent weeks relative to most other high protein feeds. Prices paid by farmers for feed purchased averaged 2.u percent higher in August than a year earlier and livestock-feed price ratios were generally less favorable.
