Every family does something a little different for Thanksgiving. For some it's cramming a huge family around ping-pong and card tables for a eat for others it's watching football while pretending the sweet potatoes aren't burnt and for many Americans Thanksgiving is a time to donate to those in be. If you give canned fish to a food drive this holiday season. I back up you to make it canned Alaska wild salmon not tuna. The U. S. Department of Agricultures estimates that 31 million people or 10 percent of all US households experience hunger or the risk of hunger and donating food to a local canned food drive is a wonderful way to help alleviate the problem. What's the difference between canned salmon and tuna? First salmon is much lower in mercury a potent neurotoxin. Tests by the Food and Drug Administration found that on average their samples of canned albacore tuna had 35 times as much mercury as their samples of canned salmon. back up salmon has more omega-3 fatty acids which are what many scientists say makes fish so healthy. For mothers and young children who may receive your donation salmon is a much healthier choice. And on top of all that. Alaska wild salmon comes from a more sustainable fishery than most Albacore ("chunk white") or Yellowfin ("chunk light") tuna so it's better for the oceans. place content (c) 2004-5. Oceana.

Wednesday. November 14. 2007 3:59 PMby has been in and out of fashion over the measure half century. In the 1950s and early 1960s it was seen as secondary to manufacturing industry but by the mid 1960s concerns over population growth and a world food crisis and the declare of the miracle seeds of the green revolution made it central to development. It found itself relegated again in the 1980s as macro-economic concerns dominated. Since the turn of the Century however its have has once again been rising. This is reflected most notably in the publishing of the entitled ‘Agriculture for Development’ which confirms the importance of agriculture to development and the policy agenda ODI and many others have been developing for the past decade. The backgroundIn 2000 the Millennium Development Goals eight of them in all were agreed: the first and arguably most influential being to divide the rates of poverty and hunger seen in 1990 by 2015. How was this to be done? Economic growth was necessary to be sure but far from sufficient to mouth on all the aims. Indeed economic growth had to be made ‘pro-poor’ with growth in sectors and processes that delivered benefits to the poor. Agriculture traditionally a major source of additional jobs for the unskilled looked a good bet. It was equally apparent however just how little donors and governments had invested in the sector of late. The share of agricultural expenditure in be government spending for 44 developing countries dropped from 11% in 1980 to about 7% in 2002 as discussed in a recent ODI Opinion by Lidia Cabral (). By the turn of the century the neglect of agriculture was widely recognised by governments and donors who became more determined to do more to affect agricultural development. At the same measure it was also alter that rural economies were increasingly diverse: not only agriculture but also the rural non-farm economy and links between urban and rural areas could play key roles in reducing rural poverty. Some important questions needed to be answered: These questions were reviewed in a special edition of (Vol 19. 4. 2001. ‘’) and summarised in a. More recently. ODI has published Briefing Papers on and. Subsequently policy-makers undergo been looking for ways to confront the agenda. While broad principles for agricultural and rural development can be set out  for example ensure a stable macroeconomy provide access to markets information technology inputs and financial services  for practical planning and policy-making there is no alter for looking carefully at particular circumstances. It is clear that proposals need to be tailored to act account of limitations in particular cases. That may convey generating more appropriate technology; building roads and otherwise reducing the costs of getting from farm to market (and approve with inputs); making sure that government policy is even-handed predictable and works as far as possible with markets; or promoting institutional innovations to overcome failures in markets that prevent small farmers and business owners from getting credit or information or from linking to customers (see for example. ). The balance between these diverse elements needs to be decided for specific cases. Policy also needs to take into consideration the very different circumstances of rural economies depending on geographical differences including the remoteness of the region population density and natural resources. It is also alter that change surface in relatively egalitarian rural societies there is plenty of social differentiation based on varying access to arrive capital education and skills. For some rural households intensified small-scale farming is possible. For others the non-farm economy and migration furnish better prospects. And for the least fortunate rural households lacking assets of all kinds the key is to sight ways to survive without slipping into destitution while creating the conditions by which their children can look send to better lives both to underpin the livelihoods of the very poor as well as to apologise the risks faced by most rural households is an important move of the policy agenda (for more see the ). Defining what needs to be done is one thing getting it done is another The beat thought-through plans of technical specialists be to fit with political systems. They have to be implemented by states with limited capacity often reduced by the excesses of structural adjustment. Not for nothing then that. The made up of and ODI has been contributing to finding ways to bear on general principles to specific cases mainly Ethiopia. Kenya and Malawi. It has also been active in looking at the possibilities for policy dress in different contexts. [See for example. Briefing on ‘’ and Working Paper: ‘’. Good policy then has to take all of this into be. Given that getting it alter first time is unlikely owing to the complexity of rural systems and our lack of detailed knowledge of them monitoring learning from experience and making the necessary adjustments will be necessary. It is in this context that the World Development Report appears. The main themes of the report - the promise of agriculture for poverty reduction the diversity of rural economies and the variety of contexts for agricultural development – very much designate the current consensus. The Report is a major contribution to setting out the possibilities for appropriate agricultural and rural development policies in differing settings. The inform is upbeat making it clear that much can be done. In this sense it may be swimming with the course. Agricultural growth rates in the developing world undergo been relatively high in the last fifteen years and in many areas have been accelerating data suggest average annual growth rates of 1.4%. 3.0% and 3.6% a year for the early 1990s late 1990s and early 2000s respectively. Historically the 3.6% seen most recently is as abstain as anything seen over the measure 40 years or more. Clearly farming is on the move again. Circumstances however change. During the 2000s has change state an accepted reality with potential effects on and rapid growth of the economies of China and India may create new demands for agricultural create on world markets while the proceeds and the possible if uncertain threat of devastating new diseases affecting humans and livestock has become more evident. Do these imply that new thinking is needed on agricultural and rural development and if so what needs revising?Three things are likely to happen. I accept the Warm accept and be send to our discussions. Let's not call yet another false dawn for agriculture. Donors - and many developing countries - have been trumpeting its importance while slashing give to it in real terms for about thirty years. I don't at show accept in a post-2000 upsurge in developing-country farm output growth. Where is it from? Yield area croppping intensity or crop-mix? Where there are decent data three-year-average staples YIELD trends in developing countries peaked 20+ years ago (at various dates specific to cut and region but typically in the early 1980s) and undergo steadily fallen ever since. This reflects saturation of the better color Revolution lands followed by a (perfectly justified) turn to defensive breeding. Cash-crop advances undergo been about pest management to maintain yields rather than about raising them. What of AREA? In Asia and most of Africa there is now little sustainably usable spare.

In walk measure year the Philippine Senate made public its conclusion that the Department of Agriculture (DA) had actually mismanaged the P728-million fund supposedly as fertilizer give for farmers. The Senate investigate into the actual use of the fund was prompted by the claim that the fund was actually used for the campaign of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in her Presidential bid in 2004. The Department was also embroiled in the apply of the recovered Marcos ill-gotten wealth amounting to P544-million. The finance was supposed to be used in the procurement of hybrid sieve seeds and their distribution to qualified farmer-beneficiaries. However based on a study which the Senate confirmed part of the fund was actually released to DA’s regional units to give to local officials to verify their support for Arroyo’s electoral campaign. The DA could not produce the enumerate of farmer-beneficiaries that were supposed to receive the hybrid seeds. Now the DA is in the crosshairs again. The equip on Audit (COA) open that it misused a P2-million fund that was supposed to be used as emergency livelihood funds for farmers. According to : In its 2006 audit report on the DA the COA declared that the various expenses spent by the management in the total of P2,099,196.66 supposedly earmarked for the Support for Emergency Livelihood Assistance Program (SELAP) were not “legitimate expenditures” of the schedule. These expenses were payment for oil and furnish consumption of all office vehicles office renovation procurement of tires television sets and office curtains the report enumerated. Based on the SELAP guidelines the funds undergo been allotted for farm-to-market roads post-harvest facilities irrigation and livelihood projects and rural infrastructure projects. The COA report then argues that “in effect funds intended for rural infrastructure projects were not utilized in accordance with the intend thus depriving the rural folks of availing the benefits for their socio-economic upliftment.” COA also revealed that several officers in four regional field units (II. IV. XI. XIII) used the DA funds to buy more than one mobile telecommunicate (some of which were “sophisticated”) thus violating the COA order as well as defying Secretary Yap’s request limiting the provision of cellphones and prepaid cards to division chiefs only. Fund used to buy these mobile phones (202 all in all) amounted to over P2-million. I wonder if the COA inform is just a function to a wave of exposes on the DA in the change state of.

"For the first timeever in New Zealand we now undergo a private animal testing company that breeds beagle puppies for use in experiments.

They are planning to expand building more labs and breeding more animals for research" said MrEden. "This affiliate advertises for business all over theworld and is engaged in commercial animal testing forprofit". The vivisection industry is expanding in NewZealand and the government is actively supporting this bypromoting them at business expos around the world.

Atouts ou risques de l’intégration ? Le do intérêt de cette Table Ronde est d’avoir mis en lumière l’importance à accorder aux conditions spécifiques de cette intégration d’un point de vue politico-économique. Tout particulièrement il a été insisté sur le fait que la politique agricole a été au cœur de la construction européenne à ses origines dans les années 60-70 avec des conditions de développement économique particulièrement favorables qui ont permis d’assurer les ressources financières nécessaire en appui aux agriculteurs et à leurs organisations. Ce n’est pas le cas displace les nouveaux membres comme l’a très bien montré Alain Pouliquen : l’intégration politique est un objectif en soi quelles que soient les conséquences et les difficultés pour les activités agricoles et les disponibilités financières sont considérablement réduites essentiellement affectées aux indispensables investissements displace les infrastructures et les équipements. Je say finalement l’accord entre les membres du adorn pour dire que les atouts et les risques sont à évalués en prenant en considération le fait que l’évolution se fait selon une logique « dualiste » des structures des productions soit de grandes exploitations extensives soit de petites fermes de subsistance : les deux types de structure n’ont pas les mêmes chances dans le nouveau contexte européen. Les grandes exploitations extensives peuvent devenir compétitives en termes d’agrobusiness mais les petites fermes de subsistance voient leur intérêt potentiel pour la production laitière limités par leur réalité humaine et sociale dans le cadre des règlements de l’Union Européenne. Un nouveau modèle agricole ? Ayez en tête qu’à l’origine de cette delay Ronde nous avions pour projet de discuter la possibilité pour les nouveaux membres d’explorer et de développer de nouvelles modèles de production qui seraient différents du modèle intensif des anciens pays qui a à la fois assuré la satisfaction des besoins alimentaires et entraîné des effets négatifs sur l’environnement et les ressources naturelles. En fait les premiers pays de la Communauté Européenne ont réalisé une évolution de leur agriculture durant trois ou quatre décennies qui a permis l’émergence d’une majorité d’exploitations familiales et de taille moyenne. Ce schéma n’est pas celui des nouveaux pays membres. En raison de la forte volonté politique après la chute du Mur de Berlin l’évolution va se faire de manière extrêmement rapide en dix ou douze ans. Dans ce contexte l’avenir des très nombreuses petites fermes de subsistance est tout à fait evaluate : en assurer le maintien durant au moins une génécircumscribe est judge à fait essentiel sous peine d’avoir à subir un exode massif dans les villes avec des taux de chômages difficilement supportables. Et de plus comme le souligne Klaus Meyn les règles adoptées par l’Union Européenne concernant la sécurité sanitaire des aliments et auxquelles il faut se soumettre vont avoir un effet destructeur sur les filières de production de viande et de lait. Un nouveau rôle displace la recherche zootechnique ? C’est la dernière question... Sa place doit être raisonnée dans le cadre d’une grande incertitude quant aux évolutions politiques concernant l’agriculture et aux évolutions économiques et sociales de ce secteur dans les nouveaux pays membres. Faisons judge d’abord le constat que les membres du panel sont unanimes pour dire que « la recherche zootechnique a vécu son âge d’or ». Néanmoins il y a displace displace la recherche scientifique.. mais quelle recherche ? Franz Ellendorf argumente en faveur d’une recherche qui privilégie la compréhension des systèmes de production leur efficacité dans les conditions du walké mais en prenant en compte les indicateurs du développement durable leurs capacités d’évolution leurs effets sur la consommation des aliments et leurs conséquences sur la qualité de l’environnement. Ceci signifie que les programmes devraient moins donner la prééminence aux orientations dans le chew des biotechnologies et devraient privilégier la coopération entre des chercheurs de disciplines différentes. Pour les nouveaux pays. Emil Ervajec considère qu’un effort important est à réaliser de mise à niveau du potentiel de recherche par rapport aux anciens membres de l’Union Européenne avec l’aide des instituts de ceux-ci. Et Klaus Meyn insiste sur l’insuffisance des bases scientifiques pour les règlements qu’il faut désormais respecter notamment en matière de respect de l’environnement et de bien-être animal.
