Who Sways the USDA on GMO Approvals?

Government agencies can be "captured" by the very companies or industries they regulate. Looking at how genetically altered food products are approved, Assistant Professor Shon R. Hiatt finds unexpected influencers on the US Department of Agriculture. Key concepts include: "Regulatory capture" describes the phenomenon whereby regulatory agencies tasked with serving the public instead end up advancing the interests of the companies they regulate. Traditional theories of capture such as lobbying and campaign contributions had little effect on whether the US Department of Agriculture approved any particular genetically altered agriculture product. What did seem to affect the approval process was the influence of third-party groups such as associations and even related regulatory agencies. Open for comment; 0 Comments.

Economics of the Ethanol Business

What happens when a group of Missouri corn farmers gets into the energy business? What appears to be a very lucrative decision quickly turns out to be much more risky. Professor Forest Reinhardt leads a case discussion on what the protagonists should do next. From HBS Alumni Bulletin. Key concepts include: The case examines the complex political and economic underpinnings of the ethanol industry. By investing in corn-based ethanol, farmers reduce their exposure to corn prices, but at the expense of exposure to the oil market. The case promotes greater understanding of the way materials and energy flow in the modern U.S. agricultural system. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.

This study analyses the sequence of actions carried out by successful enterprises in the agricultural sector and aims to understand the logic followed with such actions and the differences related to the types of families that develop them.

Design/methodology/approach

Through a multiple case study approach, the business and family trajectories of 14 successful agricultural enterprises in Mexico were analysed. The actions carried out by enterprises are conceptualized as strategic movements and are classified into seven categories: (1) growth and intensification, (2) reconversion, (3) diversification, (4) integration, (5) differentiation, (6) outsourcing and (7) digitization. Depending on their relationship with agriculture, entrepreneurial families are classified into three categories: (1) continuing families, (2) returning families and (3) incoming families.

The entrepreneurship logic follows three stages: evaluation, expansion and consolidation, through which different activities are tested, then the one that produces the best results is expanded and adopted as the main activity, and finally the expansion of the main activity and its evaluation are combined by comparing and complementing it with other agricultural activities. The difference is that continuing families adhere more to the traditional productivist model based on growth in scale and improved productivity of primary production. On the other hand, actions that imply a distinction in the quality of production such as integration and differentiation and that require links with other organizations such as outsourcing are more frequently carried out by returning and incoming families.

Research limitations/implications

The findings obtained through case studies cannot be statistically generalized to a specific population, however, our perspective can be transferred to other cases to obtain analogous findings.

Originality/value

The study is a unique piece in terms of the analysis of how families with different degrees of proximity to agriculture develop successful enterprises.

Septic arthritis is a serious medical condition associated with severe morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical manifestations can be broad with conditions that resemble this synovial infection and require different assessment and care. Septic arthritis generally manifests with monoarticular joint pain with urticaria, swelling with pain on lesion and movement. Fever is present in many cases, but most are usually mild. Diagnostic tests can assist with the treatment, but the standard procedure to cure this infection is Arthrocentesis or joint aspiration. The management of septic arthritis includes intravenous antibiotics by intermittent infusion and orthopedic incisions. This descriptive research work discusses the in silico docking studies by using phytochemicals like Andrographolide, Capsaicin, Curcumin, Epigallocatechin gallate, Eugenol, Gingerol, Thymoquinone, Piperine with Proteins with PDB id’s 2MZW, 1TVF, 1VQQ, and 3VSL respectively and could display anti-arthritic activi...

The cultivation of crops outside the regular cropping calendar and when there supply is low and prices are high can fetch farmers better profits and consumers more choice. The field study was undertaken to study the off season cultivation for rabi pumpkin in silt deposited river banks in agro-ecological conditions of Chengnoi and Mairadanga areas of Nalbari district, Assam. The study was based on field observations and farm level data in planting times of July, August, September and October months in rainfed condition with variety Arjuna. Data were collected on yield attributes, crop duration and economic indicators. Results showed the substantial differences among means of traits at different planting date treatments. September planting produced higher yield as compared to the early and very late planting dates. The results revealed that higher number of fruits per plant and fruit weight were reported in September planting. Similarly maximum yield (168.83 q ha-1) was produced by September planting. However, July planting fetched the best market price whereas highest B:C ratio (5.76) was reported for August planting.

North east India, the seven sisters, the sunrise states, have long been unable to keep pace with the development happening in rest of the country. North east India is endowed with vast number of resources which, if put into use judiciously by encouraging micro level rural entrepreneurship and integrating it with local as well as international markets. Development of rural areas is closely related to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a strategic development intervention that can well accelerate the development process of the backward and under developed areas. A staggering 75% of the world population lives in the rural areas. Since most of the resources and policies continue to be biased in favor of the urban areas, entrepreneurship has become a key to induce balanced development in the rural areas. Utilizing the potential productivity of rural people by using locally available resources is indispensable to achieve resilient economic growth that will help people rise above the po...

Women in traditional societies have a close connection with the environment through their roles as farmers, collectors of water and firewood, caregivers to livestock and, sometimes, as priestesses and healers. The gender roles assigned in traditional societies bring women into direct contact with the natural resources for management of their daily household chores. Therefore, any loss of biodiversity has a direct impact on the lives of women, families and society at large. In the context of the Karbis, a major ethnic group of Assam, India, forests are central to their worldview and all aspects of their socio-cultural life. It is important to note that the Karbi belief system gives reverence to nature worship and the forest deities are called Longri Arnam. As such, sacred groves are among one of the best practices of biodiversity conservation that are also associated with traditional knowledge systems in different ecological zones. They are preserved mainly through observance of taboos and animistic rituals. In recent times, forest degradation has become a major concern and it is necessary to understand the role of traditional knowledge systems visa -vis their relation to ecological heritage and conservation. This paper examines the ways in which women in Karbi society have directly or indirectly acted as agents of environmental conservation. Using historical methodology, the study attempts to analyze interface between women and environment in the society with special reference to women's contribution to the society in combating climate change.

This study was conducted in Kathua district of Jammu & Kashmir with 80 dairying farmers purposively selected who were intensively involved in agriculture and dairying activities. An interview schedule was prepared to collect the required information and it was collected by personal interview method. Ten-item statements were presented and assessment based on a three point Likert-type rating scale of most needed coded 3, somewhat needed coded 2 and not needed coded 1, mean scores was calculated. The collected data was further quantified, categorized and tabulated. The study concluded that overall distribution of dairy farmers according to training need, 52.5 per cent had medium training need followed by high training need. Dairy farmers had most needed training in aspect of animal nutrition practices (WMS=2.39) and animal breeding practices (WMS=2.28). Hence, realistic and effective planning for education and training need to be done to enhance the skill and adaptation of better scientific practices for livestock farmers in an appropriate way. Further, it can also be suggested that the livestock owners should be acquainted with scientific animal husbandry practices.

Festivals and Monsoon: The Paradigm Shift in Festivals Due to Deviated Monsoon

Prof. Dr Sankar Acharya

Agricultural production and productivity is largely dependent on the number of rainy days in a particular cropping season. The monsoon rain deviation hampers the agricultural production by reducing the normal crop yield or by destroying the crops by disease- pest, flood or drought. Not only the crop production or productivity is hampered by deviated monsoon rain but also the marketability of the crops or amount of marketable surplus of the farmers is also hampered. The present study is conducted in Ghoragachha village under Saguna gram panchayet, Nadia, West Bengal. The numbers of respondents were 60 and they were selected randomly. The data were collected trough pilot survey, structured interview and focused group interview. The statistical tools used for data analysis were correlation coefficient, step down regression, path analysis and factor analysis. Family size (X3), livestock (X10), yield of rice (X11), yield of pulses (X12), yield of vegetables (X13) are some of the variables those have created a significant impact on the festivals. The variables which were retained after step down regression are family size (X3) that means this is the most important causal variable which affect the consequent variable. Keywords: Family size, Festivals, Livestock, Monsoon, Yield

Women are the most vulnerable section of our society and their agony in Jammu and Kashmir is more intensified during the last three decades due to prevailing militancy. They work round the clock but lack decision making powers in household affairs as well as in the society. The central and state government has launched several schemes for women empowerment and National Rural Livelihood Mission is one among them. Under this self-employment scheme, the rural women are organized in Self Help Groups (SHGs) and are provided funds for their upliftment. To understand the success in the performance of Jammu & Kashmir Rural Livelihood Mission (JKSRLM) in terms of enhancing income of the women, a total of 80 beneficiaries selected through multi-stage sampling were interviewed by giving equal weightage to two districts of Doda and Jammu respectively. The results reflected that SHGs have played a significant role in the life of rural women in terms of enhancing income and employment. The JKSRLM...

India has a history of more than 100 years of organised teaching, research and development of agriculture, and has grown from few teaching and research institutes at the beginning of 20th century to one of the most productive, vibrant and advanced agricultural systems in the world. Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy and contributes 17.4% to the country’s GDP. Government of India has launched several programmes for sustainable development and the state of Karnataka now aspires to be the national hub for smart agriculture. The University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (UASD) has been exploring the possibility of establishing the Centre of Excellence in smart agriculture with the objective of skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling agriculture graduates, and to provide industry-ready man power and to educate farmers through the use of ICT. The university has been a pioneer in imparting quality agriculture education, and has introduced digital technology in several domains. A thrust has been given to areas such as agri-informatics in precision agriculture, conservation agriculture, mechanisation, use of robotics, drone technology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud computing, trade and market intelligence, weather forecast and developing suitable agri-web-portals. The role of agri-business and agricultural entrepreneurship is critical in the overall economy of many developing countries. UASD is implementing a World Bank funded Institution Development Plan (IDP) under National Agriculture Higher Education Project (NAHEP) which has a prime objective of developing entrepreneurship and promoting start-ups. The UASD is utilising digital technology in order to empower students, staff and farmers in future digital agriculture and allied sectors.
