Traceability to production source is strongly emphasized by EU food hygiene rules articulated at the member state level by UK public health agencies. British produce packaging typically carries clearly visible supplier codes that link each product to its original field and farmer, sometimes including the name of the farm or even farm owner on the […]

The results of these comparisons are presented graphically in the sections that follow
The LGMA standard was not created through a government rule-making process or by state regulators, but requires that compliance with the standard be verified by state and federal audits and inspections under the terms of a federal marketing agreement.10 In the United Kingdom, several pre-regulatory assessments are currently included by public regulators as part of […]
My analysis will differ from the majority of comparative politics literature in one additional way
In Chapter Two, I will explain the basis of my US-UK comparison, presenting a detailed account of the existing regulatory framework governing leafy greens production in the United States and United Kingdom. I will ground my case study comparison in a comparative historical-political examination of food safety concerns and present the research framing that underpins […]
The spectral absorption coefficients of gas molecules are retrieved from HITRAN database
Aerosols, solar long wave radiation and scattering by clouds are not included in the CIRC calculations. The temperature, pressure, gas concentration profiles and cloud properties used in the proposed radiative model are obtained from the input files provided on the CIRC website for validation purposes. The summarized model parameters and results of surface downwelling flux for Case […]
Most studies do not characterize the duration based on the host population
As mentioned before, we assumed that the main route of MAP transmission in the calf population is the through the general environment. Although there are some studies that consider MAP transmission from transient shedders to susceptible calves, we assumed that the number of calf-to-calf transmission in pen 1 is negligible. Furthermore, since the calf population is separated […]
Both food-focused and humanities-focused CCE point at an underlying characteristic of CCE
Through local examples, garden activities and guest speakers, the curriculum connects students to other change makers and empowers them with agency to help build a more sustainable food system in their community. Students learn to think of climate change as more than “just” a science problem: it is a social problem requiring action and responsibility from […]
The United States Department of Agriculture defines agricultural activities as those taking place on farms
We discuss the results, showing how an agroecological method of inquiry amplifies important aspects of urban food production spaces and identifies gaps in national urban agriculture policy circles. We conclude by positing unique characteristics of urban agroecology in need of further studies and action to create equitable, resilient and protected urban food systems.Agricultural policy in […]
This study suggests the ability of urban agriculture to improve food security on a global scale
Much of the literature is theoretical, focused on the production potential of urban agriculture, while more work is needed to understand and overcome barriers to access and distribution among communities in need. Without understanding the actual links between UA and food security or which specific characteristics, models or approaches reduce insecurity, urban policymakers and advocates […]
A key local input is the high-quality compost produced at Midnight’s Farm
AgGuild staff are very open to the idea of supporting more farmers, both current and new, in establishing cooperative enterprises. Organic Farm School directors are similarly encouraging of this idea, arguing that many new farmers might not be ready to take over an 80-acre parcel of land and put it to productive use immediately, but […]
Sustainability and justice flow naturally from the Law of Return and from the localization of food production
The climate system is also adversely impacting the food system as warming temperatures drive changes in rainfall patterns, exacerbate droughts, disrupt food distribution channels, and create extremes to which current farming practices are not adapted to coping with . However, there is potential for the food system to have a more positive set of impacts on […]
