| This study was conducted to gain an understanding of how small-scale farmers in Mbeya District have adopted improved wheat technologies promoted by the wheat research program at MARTI-Uyole. The specific objectives were to assess farmers’ wheat management practices, determine the technical and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of improved wheat technologies, and draw implications for research, extension, and policy. A purposive multistage sampling procedure was used to select 202 farmers, 160 from Tembela Division and 42 from Isangati Division, which are two important wheat-growing areas in Mbeya District. Primary data were collected using structured questionnaires and supplemented by secondary information obtained from MARTI-Uyole. Juhudi was... |

| Maize is the major food crop grown in the coastal region of Kenya and constitutes a major component of the diet of the population in the region. However, average yields are far below the potential for the region and low production levels create serious food deficits. Over the years, new technologies have been introduced but adoption has remained low, especially for fertilizer. This paper examined current maize-farming practices and technological and socioeconomic factors that influenced adoption in the Kilifi and Kwale Districts of the Coast Province, that together account for half of maize production in the region. The study found low adoption levels for improved maize varieties and technology, especially fertilizer, among farmers in the area. Farmers... |

| The publication describes outcomes of a study to assess the effectiveness of a large-scale crop seed relief effort in Zimbabwe during 2003-07. Aims of the effort, which was supported by the British Department for International Development (DfID) and coordinated by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) regional office in Harare, included broader diffusion of open-pollinated maize varieties (OPVs), as opposed to hybrids. Based on the findings of the study, the authors recommend that, to increase benefits to vulnerable groups, participants in such efforts should effectively disseminate information on selecting and recycling seed, supported by training and field demonstrations, and should target relatively well-endowed farmers initially. Recommendations... |

| O Brasil e um dos paises com maior diversidade genetica, respondendo por cerca de 30% das plantas e especies animais que ocorrem no mundo. Dentre os diferentes biomas brasileiros, os Cerrados, com seus 207 milhoes de hectares, apresenta uma grande diversidade faunistica e floristica em suas diferentes fisionomias vegetais. Ate meados deste seculo esta regiao era considerada como marginal para producao agricola, no entanto, devido ao desenvolvimento da pesquisa e de tecnologias agricolas que viabilizaram sua utilizacao em bases economicas, hoje ela e responsavel pela producao de cerca de 35% de graos e carnes do pais. O modelo de ocupacao da terra utilizado, baseado no uso intensivo de insumos e maquinas pesadas, se de um lado, no ultimos vinte anos,... |

| The amount of energy and food consumed in Puerto Rico is more indicative of a developed nation than one than is underdeveloped. All the energy consumed in Puerto Rico is from fossil fuels, while the agricultural sector marginally provides the needs of the consumer. In addition, the animal production sectors rely exclusively on imported feedstock for the preparation of feeds. There is a potential to develop an ethanol industry based initially on sugarcane, as the main feedstock and then turn to biomass from energy cane and or organic solid waste in the future. In order to move to the second generation of ethanol production, the cellulosic ethanol industry has to become economically viable. A limiting factor in the use of sugarcane is that only 40,000 ha are... |

| On the strength of expounding the general situation of study area and the status quo of agricultural laborers in China, the changes of the scale and structure of them from 1985 to 2009 are analyzed by relying on the survey from farmers and statistical data from the government. The causes of these changes are analyzed from the aspects of rural farmland policy，birth-control policy, farmland marginalization and industrialization. Based on the study on the causes, the impacts of the changes on food production are analyzed from operation scale of household, the grain cropping area, the multi-cropping index and land productivity. The results show that the quality of agricultural laborers is decreasing form 1985 to 2009, which is characterized by the lack of... |

| In contrast to the increasing use of GM plants in world-wide agriculture, the acceptance of GM food is still low in the European Union (EU). In order to ensure freedom of choice for consumers and users of GM and non-GM products, GM food and feed products have to be labeled in case a tolerance threshold of 0.9 % is exceeded for EU authorized GMOs. This paper aims to quantify the cost of traceability and co-existence systems for GM food from the seed to the food level for sugar, wheat starch and rapeseed oil for human consumption in Germany respecting the 0.9 % threshold for labelling of GM food. The cost calculation for traceability and co-existence measures follows the principle of aggregating all incurred cost on the different levels of the value chain... |

| A segurança alimentar existe quando todas as pessoas, em todos os momentos, têm acesso físico, social e econômico a alimentos suficientes, seguros e nutritivos que atendam às suas necessidades dietéticas e preferências alimentares para uma vida ativa e saudável. Tal conceito, estabelecido pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Alimentação e a Agricultura, é multidimensional, baseado em quatro pilares fundamentais: disponibilidade de alimentos, acesso a alimentos, utilização de alimentos e estabilidade da oferta de alimentos. A disponibilidade do alimento, que significa a oferta de alimentos para toda a população, depende da produção, da importação (quando necessária) e de sistemas de armazenamento e distribuição. Considerando que a agricultura é a... |

| Professionals involved in animal and plant production chains are currently confronted with a scenario of contradictions. There is a growing demand for food, on the other hand, social pressures question how food is produced. Within this context, integrated production systems could be an important strategy. Integrated crop-livestock systems (ICL) consists of the implementation of different systems for animal and agricultural production in the same area, planted concurrently, sequentially or in rotation. The most reported advantages of ICL systems are agronomic or productive benefits, which are the result of improved soil quality and better pest control. However, to implement ICL systems on large scale, representing an actual alternative for food production,... |

| The Kyoto Protocol represents the first international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed mitigation efforts may involve the agricultural sector through such options as planting trees, crop and livestock management changes, and biofuels production. The combined use of these strategies could substantially reduce net emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, countries where the Protocol imposes emissions caps have expressed concern about their competitiveness with countries that are not part of the Kyoto Protocol. In a free-trade arena, food production and exports in unregulated countries could increase and reduce market share for the producers in complying countries. We examine the effects of differential Protocol... |
