Global freshwater assessments have not addressed the linkages among water vapor flows, agricultural food production, and terrestrial ecosystem services. We perform the first bottom-up estimate of continental water vapor flows, subdivided into the major terrestrial biomes, and arrive at a total continental water vapor flow of 70,000 km3/yr (ranging from 56,000 to 84,000 km3/yr). Of this flow, 90% is attributed to forests, including woodlands (40,000 km3/yr), wetlands (1400 km3/yr), grasslands (15,100 km3/yr), and croplands (6800 km3/yr). These terrestrial biomes sustain society with essential welfare-supporting ecosystem services, including food production. By analyzing the freshwater requirements of an increasing demand for food in the year 2025, we...

Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: FIDALGO, E. C. C.; TURETTA, A. P. D.; PEDREIRA, B. da C. C. G.
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...

Autores: FARIAS, P. I. V.; FREIRE, E.; CUNHA, A. L. C. da; POLIDORO, J. C.; ANTUNES, A. M. de S.
The necessity to feed more than 210 mn inhabitants and to promote economic and social development makes agriculture one of the most important economic activities in Brazil. Fertilizers are important inputs for the agribusiness chain, but Brazil imports more than 80% of the fertilizers it needs. Many recent projects that aimed to expand fertilizer production in the country have been abandoned. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in global value chains - food included. In this context, is Brazil's food production at risk in the long term?

Derivados de feijão-caupi: opção para dietas sem glúten - nutrição e saúde.
Provedor de dados: 14
Autores: NEVES, A. C. das; HASHIMOTO, J. M.; GOMES, P. B.
Os produtos de feijão-caupi (feijão-de-corda, feijão-macáçar) são ótimas opções para atender ao consumidor que tem intolerância ou restrição ao consumo de glúten. Mais nutritivos e saudáveis, possuem teor proteico e de compostos bioativos mais elevado do que produtos sem glúten produzidos com outras matérias-primas. O consumo mais difundido do feijão-caupi hoje é o do grão e da farinha para fabricação de acarajé. Portanto, há espaço para exploração desse insumo na elaboração e comercialização de outros produtos a partir da farinha. Isso aumentará, provavelmente, o número de fornecedores de farinha e o consumo de feijão-caupi no Brasil, o que beneficiará os produtores de feijão-caupi. Além disso, haverá benefícios para a agroindústria, que terá um novo...

Possible Implications for U.S. Agriculture From Adoption of Select Dietary Guidelines
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Buzby,   Jean C.; Wells,   Hodan Farah; Vocke,   Gary.
To help Americans meet nutritional requirements while staying within caloric recommendations, the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage consumption of fruits, vegetables, whole-grain products, and fat-free or low-fat milk or milk products. This report provides one view of the potential implications for U.S. agriculture if Americans changed their current consumption patterns to meet some of those guidelines. For Americans to meet the fruit, vegetable, and whole-grain recommendations, domestic crop acreage would need to increase by an estimated 7.4 million harvested acres, or 1.7 percent of total U.S. cropland in 2002. To meet the dairy guidelines, consumption of milk and milk products would have to increase by 66 percent; an increase of that...

Adoption of Maize Production Technologies in the Coastal Lowlands of Kenya
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Wekesa,   E.; Mwangi,   Wilfred; Verkuijl,   Hugo; Danda,   Milton Kengo; De Groote,   Hugo.
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...

Selling Australia as ‘clean and green’
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chang,   Hui-Shung (Christie); Kristiansen,   Paul.
‘Clean and green’ has been used as a marketing tool by Australian governments to promote agricultural products overseas. But how valid are these claims? Is the ‘clean and green’ image campaign effective? And should government be involved? We conclude that Australia may have had a ‘clean and green’ image in some markets, but in the future, concrete proof of environmental and quality credentials will be required to satisfy increasingly better-informed and more demanding customers. We argue that governments cannot, and should not, continue to promote Australian products based on an undefined ‘clean and green’ image. Rather, more resources should be directed to the development, promotion and wide adoption of integrated, credible and well-defined environmental...

Livestock and water interactions in mixed crop-livestock farming systems of Sub-Saharan Africa: Interventions for improved productivity
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Descheemaeker,   Katrien; Amede,   Tilahun; Haileslassie,   Amare.
Focusing on mixed crop-livestock farming systems of sub-Saharan Africa, this review brings together the available knowledge in the various components of the livestock and water sectors. Through an analysis of livestock-water interactions, promising strategies and interventions to improve Livestock Water Productivity are proposed. In the biophysical domain, the numerous interventions relate to feed, water and animal management. These are interlinked with interventions in the socio-political-economic domain. The paper identifies critical research and development gaps in terms of methodologies for quantifying water productivity and integrating different scales, and also in terms of institutions and policies.

Cost of GMO-related co-existence and traceability systems in food production in Germany
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Menrad,   Klaus; Gabriel,   Andreas; Zapilko,   Marina.
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...

CAMBIO DE PARADIGMA, PRODUCCIÓN DE ENERGÍA O DE ALIMENTOS: EL CASO DE PUERTO RICO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Colon Guasp,   Wilfredo.
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...

Autores: Rosario,   Joe A.
Exports have been an integral and essential feature of the agriculture and food industry in Alberta. This is a product of the province’s relatively low population and consumption base on the demand side juxtaposed with a large resource base of prime agriculture land for crop production and an abundance of range and pasture for grazing and forage for raising livestock on the supply side. A host of factors influence the disposition of surplus production or exports including global supply/demand balances, relative cost/price relations, structural changes through farm consolidation and scale economies, market access, exchange rates, sanitary and phyto‐sanitary standards and regulations, disease and pest related issues. The inherent nature of agriculture means...

Multilevel Impact Assessment and Coping Strategies against El Nino: Case of Food Crops in Indonesia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Irawan,   Bambang.
This study is the second phase of the El Nino study which was undertaken by the CGPRT Centre in five vulnerable countries namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Papua New Guinea. The first phase of the El Nino study did not fully reveal the extent of El Nino impacts on production at the farm level, what efforts are undertaken by farmers to reduce possible production decline and what constraints are faced by farmers to implement efficient coping mechanisms. El Nino impacts on household food security, mitigation efforts applied by farmers to overcome their consumption problems and the role of local institutions or the local government in handling the consequences of El Nino were also neglected by the first phase of the study. Accordingly,...

A bioüzemanyag-gyártás nemzetközi összefüggései
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Popp,   Jozsef.
A dráguló olajár „felszínre hozta” a fosszilis energiahordozók környezetbarát energiahordozókkal való kiváltásának problémáját. Az olajkészletek korlátozottsága mellett a bizonytalan kitermelés és a folyamatosan növekvő árak a bioüzemanyagok felé irányítják a politikai döntéshozók és a befektetők figyelmét. Az olajimportőr országoknak a bioüzemanyag-gyártás nyersanyagainak hazai termelése lehetővé teszi importköltségeik visszafogását, az üvegházhatást okozó gázok kibocsátásának csökkentését, valamint a mezőgazdasági termelők jövedelem-színvonalának javítását. A bioüzemanyagok elterjedése ugyanakkor enyhíti a kapacitása határán dolgozó olajfinomító ipar üzemanyag-ellátási terheit is, ami jelentős mértékben hozzájárul(t) az üzemanyagárak emelkedéséhez.

Rural-urban food, nutrient and virtual water flows in selected West African cities
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Drechsel,   Pay; Graefe,   Sophie; Fink,   Michael.
Impacts of increasing population pressure on food demand and land and water resources have sparked interest in nutrient and water balances and flows at a range of scales. In IWMI Research Report 115, it was tried for the first time to quantify rural-urban food flows for selected cities in Ghana and Burkina Faso to analyse their dependency on food supplied from rural vs. peri-urban vs. urban farming. Both, the urban nutrient and water footprints are closely interlinked. Currently, 80-95 percent of the domestic water used and the nutrients consumed go to waste without treatment or resource recovery. The economic dimensions are significant. Options to reduce the environmental burden by closing the rural-urban water and nutrient cycles are discussed.

Stabilization of Upland Agriculture under El Nino-Induced Climatic Risks: Impact Assessment and Mitigation Measures in Papua New Guinea
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bang,   Sergie K.; Poloma,   Spencer; Allen,   Bryant J.
In 1997, a drought associated with a severe ENSO (El Nino-Southern Oscillation) event was the cause of significant disruptions to village food and water supplies in PNG, as well as the failure of the water supply to towns and smaller service centres, mine closures and disruption to the supply of electricity. There were severe shortages of food and water, with garden produce declining by 80 per cent. Up to 40 per cent of the rural population (1.2 million people) were without locally available food by the end of 1997. The health of rural people declined and in many isolated places the mortality rate increased. Many thousands of people migrated to towns and cities to live with wage-earning relatives. A traditional social support system (known as the wantok...

Latin American Agricultural Trade: The Role of the WTO in Sustainable Virtual Water Flows
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Niemeyer,   Insa; Garrido,   Alberto.
International agricultural trade has been growing significantly during the last decade. Many countries rely on imports to ensure adequate food supplies to the people. A few are becoming food baskets of the world. This process raises issues about the food security in depending countries and potentially unsustainable land and water use in exporting countries. In this paper, we analyse the impacts of amplified farm trade on natural resources, especially water. Farm exports and imports of five Latin America countries (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Chile) are examined carefully. A preliminary analysis indicates that virtual water imports can save valuable water resources in water-short countries, such as Mexico and Chile. Major exporting countries,...

Effects of Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation Policies: The Role of International Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Schneider,   Uwe A.; Lee,   Heng-Chi; McCarl,   Bruce A.; Chen,   Chi-Chung.
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...

Wheat Facts and Futures 2009
Provedor de dados: 31
For nearly half a century, the international wheat breeding system has delivered improved high yielding varieties of wheat that created (along with rice) the Green Revolution and underpinned strong growth in wheat productivity in irrigated and rainfed, developed and underdeveloped, regions. Future priorities for breeding and complementary sciences will still include yield but will also diversify in response to changing market demands and growing environments, particulary in developing countries. It is argued that in the coming decades research on wheat quality characteristics will become increasingly important to plant breeders, whose work will be supported by the development of markers and advanced tools from molecular biology. Breeders will have to...

Assessment of the effectiveness of maize seed assistance to vulnerable farm households in Zimbabwe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Langyintuo,   Augustine S.; Setimela,   Peter S.
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...

CAMBIO DE PARADIGMA, PRODUCCIÓN DE ENERGÍA O DE ALIMENTOS: EL CASO DE PUERTO RICO
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Colon Guasp,   Wilfredo.
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...

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,...

Balance between food production, biodiversity and ecosystem services in Brazil: a challenge and an opportunity
Provedor de dados: 49
Autores: Martinelli,Luiz Antonio; Filoso,Solange.
Brazil has a unique position in the world. It is one of the few countries that can be one of the most important producers of food, fiber and biofuel and at the same time maintain its mega biodiversity endowment and vital ecosystems services properly running. This is a challenge that only can be achieved by recognizing the importance of agribusiness sector to the Brazilian economy, but also that ecosystems have limits and we should not endless expand agriculture in the name of "development". Ecosystem services have to be recognized also as a "development" to be kept for the next generations. Agriculture only exists where ecosystems are able to maintain its basic functioning. Therefore, a well preserved nature it is the most precious asset of agriculture.
