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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ideas and opinions expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views or policy of the participating agencies but are intended to stimulate feedback and input to move forward on the issue of manure management in the Lower Fraser Valley. [...] The nutrient surplus problem is related to the level of the importation of feed that is needed to sustain LFV livestock and poultry densities plus, the amount of inorganic fertilizers used in the valley. [...] The program was initiated by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MELP) and included participation by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Foods (MAFF) and through the Fraser River Action Plan, Environment Canada (DOE) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). [...] The goal of the program was to evaluate the production, treatment and disposal of agricultural wastes, primarily manure, within the context of protecting groundwater, surface water, air and soil quality. [...] A review of the literature on the social and private costs and benefits of management options was undertaken to provide some background information and insight on some of the economic considerations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION The goal of the "Management of Agricultural Wastes in the Lower Fraser Valley" program is to evaluate the production, treatment and disposal of agricultural wastes, primarily manure, within the context of groundwater contamination and impacts to surface water. [...] This and the other projects which have been part of the Management of Agricultural Wastes in the Lower Fraser Valley program, set a sound foundation on which to determine how best to address the agricultural waste management problems in the Lower Fraser Valley. [...] Injecting the manure into the soil or incorporating the manure into the soil soon after application will reduce the risk of manure contaminated runoff and will reduce the loss of nitrogen to the air due to ammonia volatilization. [...] To prevent degradation of water and soil quality and to optimize the utilization of nutrients in manure, nutrients other than nitrogen and the status of these nutrients in the soil should also be considered. [...] Storage facility 6. A storage facility must 13 (a) be of sufficient capacity to store all the agricultural waste produced or used on the farm for the period of time needed to allow for (i) the application of agricultural waste as a fertilizer or soil conditioner, or (ii) the removal of the agricultural waste, (b) prevent the escape of any agricultural waste that causes pollution, and (c) be mainta.

This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unless action is taken now to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient, climate change impacts will seriously compromise food production in countries and regions that are already highly food-insecure. The Paris Agreement, adopted in December 2015, represents a new beginning in the global effort to stabilize the climate before it is too late. It recognizes the importance of food security in the international response to climate change, as reflected by many countries prominent focus on the agriculture sector in their planned contributions to adaptation and mitigation. To help put those plans into action, this report identifies strategies, financing opportunities, and data and information needs. It also describes transformative policies and institutions that can overcome barriers to implementation. The State of Food and Agriculture is produced annually. Each edition contains an overview of the current global agricultural situation, as well as more in-depth coverage of a topical theme."
