Overall, higher wages and employer-provided health care would not only lower state and federal public assistance costs, and allow all levels of government to better target how their tax dollars are used, but it would also rightfully hold corporations accountable to their employees and thus challenge the status quo of federal and state subsidization of […]

These patterns mirrored the effect of the housing and job crisis on people of color as well
The primary purpose of the federal crop insurance program is to offer subsidized crop insurance to producers who purchase a policy to protect against losses in yield, as well as crop revenue and whole farm revenue. Significantly, more than 100 crops are insurable. The 2014 Farm Bill increased funding for crop insurance, primarily for two […]
It is important but difficult to disentangle how these factors affect the data
Listing a female farm operator among all the farm operators may be at least correlated with a willingness to adopt new technology, diversify sales, or increase vertical integration on the dairy farm. This is a feasible hypothesis because the presence of a female operator may indicate that the farm is more open to change than […]
Farm operator characteristics have changed as dairy farm size has evolved
Consolidation may have allowed dairies to capture improved productivity and efficiency on the farm. How dairy farm size changes in response to these and other factors are important in considering future trends in farm size and their impact on milk production in the United States. My research seeks to help explain recent patterns of farm […]
Several of the farmers characterized their role as a responsibility
Following the farm financial crisis of the 1980s, land prices in the County sharply dropped ; this economic window provided an opportunity for a new generation of farmers to insert a more ecologically-minded approach to farming. Many of these farmers arrived to Yolo County relatively new to farming – often young, educated white urbanites with a desire […]
Several lines of evidence suggest protective effects of cannabinoids on gut barrier function
The GBA encompasses bidirectional communication between the central and the enteric nervous systems , linking emotional and cognitive centers of the brain with intestinal functions . The autonomic nervous system, the ENS, and the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis mediate the communication of the GBA. Enteroendocrine signaling through enteroendocrine hormones activates neuronal pathways, including extrinsic afferent neurons, […]
Cannabis use has been increasingly prevalent among adolescents and young adults
Cultivation of marijuana and the associated use of toxicants have been recently documented in occupied fisher habitat. In addition to the four fisher mortalities attributed to anticoagulant rodenticides by Gabriel et al. , we documented nine additional pesticide toxicosis cases in the present study. The average incidence of toxicosis cases per year for the five […]
The California Department of Food and Agriculture oversees state-licensed cannabis cultivation and defined it as agriculture
Since AIDS patients are treated with anti-retroviral therapies, researchers explored the potential impact of cannabinoids on indinavir and nelfinavir and found no significant impact of marijuana on the efficacy of these drugs . The first written account of medicinal marijuana took place in China in the 5th century BC , and with ongoing research of […]
The majority of studies focus on cannabis users and individual stigma
By bringing actors from the black market to the taxed and licensed marketplace, the state can raise billions in annual tax revenue and create jobs for thousands of people. The economic justification of cannabis legalization was compelling: if people were going to use it anyway, why not tax it? Other important arguments favoring full legalization […]
The legalization of cannabis is a product of moral and political debates in contemporary America
A log-rank test was used to determine the significance of difference between two survival curves. All analyses were conducted using JMP staThistical softwar.Survivorship of adults reared from wild-caught larvae and pupae was examined in three different environments: indoor, plantation, and forest . Female mosquitoes placed indoors survived significantly longer than those in banana plantation and […]
