Extractions: There are seven programs under the initiative, targeting specific areas of practices or opportunities to enhance the quality of the environment as it relates to the agriculture industry. The programs include nutrient management, soil conversation, on-farm stewardship, agro-environmental clubs, integrated pest management, livestock odour reduction and strategic initiatives. 2002-2003 Programs Nutrient Management Program - The objective of this program is to develop and implement a Nutrient Management Program that will optimise crop productivity and minimise environmental risk associated with the use of organic and inorganic fertilisers. Enhanced Farmer Awareness - up to 100% up to a maximum of $5000 per farm organisation to develop materials and hold workshops to introduce nutrient management concepts to producers. Nutrient Application Systems - 50% of the cost of approved (low odour, improved distribution) application systems up to a maximum of $10,000 per farm unit. Adaptive Research - up to 60% to a maximum contribution of $40,000 per project for science-based research on the management of manure as a fertility resource and on the management of nitrogen and phosphorus to minimise water contamination.

Prior years indicated that herbicide applications in soybean fields could be reduced and returns increased due to the use of this technology. By using the scouting and decision making programs developed in this project, a grower might determine whether variable rate technology is appropriate before investing in new equipment. Average weed densities were determined in 2000 through scouting, and variable rate treatments were applied accordingly. The software decision model (HADSS) estimated that variable rate application would improve profit potential by $7/A as compared with the whole-field treatment and taking scouting costs into account.

Extractions: Sustainable Agriculture Environment Jon Stewart Napa County Department of Public Works The value of the agricultural crops in Napa County tops $1.25 Billion annually, $250M in grape sales, and $1 Billion in wine sales. The District has long held that: The groundwater system is a very efficient delivery system for rural users. A study in the early 1990s by Kennedy Jenks revealed that during the decade of 2000, the relatively constant rural water supply (the sum of groundwater, river diversion, surface storage, and recycled water) would be outstripped by demand. Demand is increasing as parcels are either converted to rural residences or to agricultural uses, or as parcels are re-developed with conversion from older, lower intensity agriculture to newer, higher intensity agriculture. When water demand gets close to available supply, a system typically becomes stressed. That has not been observed. One reason may be that new development is rethinking water needs, and is looking to alternative water supplies. Examples include much improved irrigation delivery systems (drip systems) and capturing winter and spring excess drain-tile-water for later summer irrigation usage. While much of the surplus water in many of the waterways has already been tapped, the early 1990s Montgomery study of water supply concluded that the Napa River has about 15 days per year when the flows are tremendous. The study looked at this flow, and contemplated methods to capture it, however, none of the suggested methods were considered cost-effective alternatives.

Extractions: This publication is the result of a close collaboration between three services of the European Commission - EUROSTAT, the Agriculture DG and the Environment DG. It deals with the functional link between agriculture and the environment and seeks to highlight the available statistical information, in the main held by EUROSTAT, but also the Joint Research Centre and the Commission services. The ambition of the publication is to make a full and rigorous contribution to the debate and, in this way, open up new avenues for future work.

Extractions: "Agriculture, Environment, Rural Development" A dynamic European agricultural and agri-foodstuffs sector Progress in gross added value and trade of the agricultural sectors was maintained following the reform of the CAP in 1992, at the same time allowing a policy which is on the whole more environmentally friendly to be put into place. Keywords gross added value, trade, agri-foodstuffs, CAP Changes in agricultural employment The number of people employed in agriculture continues to fall. The family unit remains the basic structure for holdings. However, new types of employment (resulting from diversification) and new types of organisation (part-time work) are beginning to emerge. Keywords employment, CAP, structure of holdings, family employment, part-time Crop trends and environmental impacts Between 1975 and 1990, the ploughing up of meadowland favoured the production of maize for fodder and sale crops. Crop production was intensified (increased inputs, simplification of crop rotation systems). This high pressure agriculture has had a profound impact on the environment (notably diffuse pollution). The reform of the CAP in 1992 has reduced production by introducing set-aside and has put in place agri-environmental measures. Keywords crop production, ploughing up of meadows, sale crops, intensification, CAP, set-aside
Extractions: The CEAC is an interdisciplinary research and training facility located on the University of Arizona's Campus Agriculture Center (a.k.a. the Farm). Students and faculty from the College of Ag and Life Sciences, including Agricultural Education , and Plant Sciences currently participate within its programs. It is our hope to advance the current state of controlled environment technology, to assist the rapidly growing CEA industry in Arizona, and to train the future generations of CEA scientists, growers, and entrepreneurs.
