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.

Effect of Storage and Layer Age on Quality of Eggs From Two Lines of Hens
F. G. Silversides,T. A. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: Egg size increased with increasing age of the hen, although more for the ISA-White hens than theISA-Brown hens, and the yolk increased more in size than did the shell and albumen, and during storage, albumen weight decreased and yolk weight increased slightly.

An ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used by the Zay people in Ethiopia
TL;DR: Results of the survey showed that leaf materials form the major component of plant parts harvested, and the majority of the remedies are prepared in the form of juice from freshly collected plant parts.

Salinity Effects on Seedling Growth and Yield Components of Rice
Linghe Zeng,Michael C. Shannon +1 more
TL;DR: Reductions in seedling survival, tiller number per plant, and spikelet number per panicle were the major causes of yield loss in M-202 under salinity and compensation between spikelets and other yield components was confounded with salinity effects, but was not sufficient to offset yield loss even at moderate salt levels.

The critical period of weed control in grain corn (Zea mays).
TL;DR: Information regarding the critical period of weed control in corn may lead to less reliance on the use of residual herbicides and to more reliance on well-timed postemergence herbicides, and timing of cover crop seeding and cultivations could be improved based upon critical period information.
