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

Civil society and urban food insecurity: analyzing the roles of local food organizations in Johannesburg
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the landscape of food security civil society organizations (FSCSOs) in South Africa and found that an uneven distribution of resources, institutional instability, and underdevelopment of food-security social movements nevertheless weakens their ability to be effective service providers and vehicles of broader social change.

Life cycle inventory analysis of fresh tomato distribution systems in Japan considering the quality aspect
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared low temperature (LT) and modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) for their effect on quality of fresh tomato and found that MAP would not be environmentally acceptable over LT packaging in the case of tomatoes transported by road over a distance shorter than 2000 kilometres, whereas LT does not require any cooling during transport and storage.
