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

Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part II : Verification of the source term and analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion
TL;DR: The analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion and deposition suggests that the present distribution of a large amount of (137)Cs deposition in eastern Japan was produced primarily by four events that occurred on March 12, 15-16, 20, and 21-23.

Phosphorus flows and balances of the European Union Member States.
TL;DR: Although wide-ranging variation between countries, generally phosphorus use in EU-27 was characterized by relatively large dependency on (primary) imports, long-term accumulation in agricultural soils, especially in west European countries, providing ample opportunities for improvement.

Rights-based fisheries governance: from fishing rights to human rights
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that more secure, less vulnerable fishers make more effective and motivated fishery managers in the context of participatory or rights-based fisheries governance, and further suggest that insecurity among fishers living in poverty can be most effectively addressed by social and political development that invokes the existing legal framework supporting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A high incidence of species substitution and mislabelling detected in meat products sold in South Africa
TL;DR: Overall, this study confirmed that the mislabelling of processed meats is commonplace in South Africa and not only violates food labelling regulations, but also poses economic, religious, ethical and health impacts.

Development of multiple-species 1km×1km resolution hourly basis emissions inventory for Japan
TL;DR: In this article, a new atmospheric emissions inventory, called "EAGrid2000-Japan" was developed to provide reliable fundamental data for studies of the long-range transport of air pollution in the East Asia region, specifically targeting Japan, in the year 2000.

Habituating primates: Processes, techniques, variables and ethics
TL;DR: The emphasis is on what to take into account when considering primate habituation, particularly in relation to preparation, observer behaviour, and assessing the risks that habituation to humans may pose for increasingly endangered primates.

Transaction costs of community‐based forest management: empirical evidence from Tanzania
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the level of transaction costs in community-based forest management (CBFM) in four communities adjacent to the Ambangulu mountain forests of the north-east of Tanzania.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of southern African subtropical thicket vegetation
TL;DR: A narrative account of the evolution of thicket is provided, which concludes that it is an ancient formation, extending back at least to the Eocene and derived initially from elements in the forest formations that prevailed in Upper Cretaceous and early Palaeogene times.

Long-term effects of mulch, fertilization and tillage on cassava grown in sandy soils in northern Colombia
TL;DR: In this paper, an 8-year on-farm trial was conducted on sandy soils in northern Colombia to study effects of surface mulching with residues of the grass Panicum maximum, moderate applications of N, P and K fertilizer and (3) tillage on crop productivity, root quality and soil properties.

Genotypic diversity and patterns of variation in a germplasm material of Ethiopian mustard (Brassica carinata A. Braun)
TL;DR: Accessions with potential genes of interest to improve earliness, yield components and oil and protein contents have been identified and increasing protein in high-glucosinolate genotypes reduced oil content and should be more efficient in genotypes of low-gloucesterolate genetic background.
