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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

A laboratory study of the comparative toxicity of products from three spices to the maize weevil
TL;DR: It is indicated that it could be more effective and economical to use the oil of P. guineense and the powders of D. tripetala and A. melegueta in the protection of stored maize against S. zeamais.

Effect of cyanogenic rhizobacteria on the growth of velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) and corn (Zea mays) in autoclaved soil and the influence of supplemental glycine
Adam Owen,Robert E. Zdor +1 more
TL;DR: Increased levels of glycine failed to increase HCN in the rhizosphere soil of velvetleaf and corn inoculated with either of the cyanogenic strains, and the use of cyanogenic bacterial inoculants as a biocontrol of velvettleaf is discussed.

Nitrogen fertilizer effect on selection, acceptance, and suitability of Euphorbia pulcherrima (Euphorbiaceae) as a host plant to Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
TL;DR: Changes in nitrogen content of poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima Willdenow, is an important factor influencing its acceptability and suitability to the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (biotype B) (Gennadius).

Adoption of improved wheat technologies in Adaba and Dodola Woredas of the Bale highlands, Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed farmers' current wheat management practices, determined the technical and socioeconomic factors affecting the adoption of wheat technologies, and drew implications for research, extension, and policy.

Effect of sucrose on ascorbate level and expression of genes involved in the ascorbate biosynthesis and recycling pathway in harvested broccoli florets
TL;DR: Data suggest that a decline in Suc leads to considerable damage not only to AA biosynthesis but also to the hydrogen peroxide-scavenging system in chloroplasts and the cessation of the Suc supply from leaves can be the main factor of AA degradation in harvested broccoli florets.
