TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the role of agriculture and fishing in the European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and show that agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure.Abstract:
Agriculture and fishing are the primary source of almost all our food, as well as of many other products, so remain vital activities even though their share in the economy is small and in continuous decline. Partly for this reason public policy in these areas is almost entirely integrated at European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Forestry policies are also heavily affected by EU-level decision-making. As agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure, it is agriculture that will receive the greatest attention here.read more

Polymerase chain reaction-based national surveillance programme to determine the distribution and prevalence of Taylorella equigenitalis in South African horses
Catherine Edith May,Alan John Guthrie,Bronwyn Keys,Christopher Joone,Mpho S. Monyai,Martin L. Schulman +5 more
TL;DR: T. equigenitalis was present in a subpopulation focus within the South African horse population prior to the outbreak identification in April 2011, and Horizontal fomite-associated spread was the most probable route of transmission between stallions.

Restoration of invaded Cape Floristic Region riparian systems leads to a recovery in foliage-active arthropod alpha- and beta-diversity
Malebajoa A. Maoela,Malebajoa A. Maoela,Francois Roets,Francois Roets,Shayne M. Jacobs,Karen J. Esler +5 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that both arthropod alpha- and beta-diversity can recover after IAP removal, given sufficient time, but catchment signatures must be acknowledged when monitoring restoration recovery.
