Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Olivia Saunders presents her challenge boldly, and in no uncertain terms. In clear language even the most inexperienced layman can penetrate, Saunders presents a lucid, reasoned argument for a new way to see the worlds resources, and particularly the people who use them. Through the economics of abundance, Saunders seeks to reorient the way we as human beings relate to each other, our communities and our world. By denying the prevailing view of scarcity, which forces a paradigm of dehumanizing competition, and embracing what one might loosely term tomato economics, Saunders dares us to see the truth: there is enough, and more than enough. There is abundance.

Download or read book Tomatoland written by Barry Estabrook and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2012 IACP Award Winner in the Food Matters category Supermarket produce sections bulging with a year-round supply of perfectly round, bright red-orange tomatoes have become all but a national birthright. But in Tomatoland, which is based on his James Beard Award-winning article, "The Price of Tomatoes," investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook reveals the huge human and environmental cost of the $5 billion fresh tomato industry. Fields are sprayed with more than one hundred different herbicides and pesticides. Tomatoes are picked hard and green and artificially gassed until their skins acquire a marketable hue. Modern plant breeding has tripled yields, but has also produced fruits with dramatically reduced amounts of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C, and tomatoes that have fourteen times more sodium than the tomatoes our parents enjoyed. The relentless drive for low costs has fostered a thriving modern-day slave trade in the United States. How have we come to this point? Estabrook traces the supermarket tomato from its birthplace in the deserts of Peru to the impoverished town of Immokalee, Florida, a.k.a. the tomato capital of the United States. He visits the laboratories of seedsmen trying to develop varieties that can withstand the rigors of agribusiness and still taste like a garden tomato, and then moves on to commercial growers who operate on tens of thousands of acres, and eventually to a hillside field in Pennsylvania, where he meets an obsessed farmer who produces delectable tomatoes for the nation's top restaurants. Throughout Tomatoland, Estabrook presents a who's who cast of characters in the tomato industry: the avuncular octogenarian whose conglomerate grows one out of every eight tomatoes eaten in the United States; the ex-Marine who heads the group that dictates the size, color, and shape of every tomato shipped out of Florida; the U.S. attorney who has doggedly prosecuted human traffickers for the past decade; and the Guatemalan peasant who came north to earn money for his parents' medical bills and found himself enslaved for two years. Tomatoland reads like a suspenseful whodunit as well as an expose of today's agribusiness systems and the price we pay as a society when we take taste and thought out of our food purchases.

Download or read book Economic Analysis of Tomato Spoilage in Selected Markets of Ondo State written by Akinsola Fape and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: A, , course: Agricultural & Resource Economics, language: English, abstract: This study examined the economic analysis of tomato spoilage in selected markets of Ondo State. The study was carried out in Akure South, Akure North, Owo and Ondo West Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ondo State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of this study were to: describe the socioeconomic characteristics of tomato marketers in the selected markets, identify factors that cause tomato spoilage, examine the methods used by tomato marketers in minimizing tomato spoilage, and estimate the amount of loss due to spoilage in the selected markets. A total of eighty (80) respondents were selected for the study through the use of multistage sampling procedure. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and formulae for calculating losses associated with spoilage. The study shows that 35% of the marketers were male and 65% were female, the largest percentage (27.5) of the marketers fell in age group 30-39 and 40-49 years. About 53.75% of the marketers source their capital through personal savings. Only 16.25% of the marketers were illiterate while the remaining 83.75% attended at least primary school and this made little arithmetic to be easily done. The main cause of tomato spoilage was attributed to impact damage (especially collision during transportation due to bad roads) as seventy seven (77) of the marketers affirm this. The main spoilage reduction method adopted by the marketers was proper sorting of the tomato, seventy six (76) of the marketers affirm this. The average loss due to spoilage was estimated as follows; Percentage loss was 16.05%, Quantitative loss was 22.24Kg and Economic loss was N2,396.04. The main problem encountered by the marketers was loss. Therefore, a lot of tomatoes were lost to spoilage due to impact damage and hence it is recommended to reduce spoilage level by establishing tomato processing industries in Ondo State.

Download or read book The Tomato Crop written by J. Atherton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tomato is commercially important throughout the world both for the fresh fruit market and the processed food industries. It is grown in a wide range of climates in the field, under protection in plastic greenhouses and in heated glasshouses. Genetic, physiological and pathological investigations frequently adopt the tomato plant as a convenient subject. Hitherto, much of the information on tomatoes has been fragmented: tomatoes grown in the field and under protection have been considered separately and the more fundamental findings from research have often failed to reach those involved directly or indirectly in commercial crop production. Similarly, the research scientist is often unaware of the problems of commercial crop production and the possible relevance of his work to the crop. This book is an attempt to rectify that situation. By giving a thorough scientific review of all factors influencing tomato production systems, it is hoped that this book will prove useful to students, researchers and commercial producers alike. It gives the basis for the develop ment of improved cultivars, the formulation of strategies for managing pest, disease and disorder problems and the production of high yields of good quality fruit as well as suggesting important areas for scientific initiatives. The extensive bibliographies provide a comprehensive database for tomato researchers. Such a vast subject could not be covered with authority by anyone author.
