Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beef markets in the U.S. are rapidly changing as alternative production systems and technologies evolve in response to consumer demands and compete with conventional grain-fed beef production. Beef produced through distinguishable systems results in products with different marketable attributes that may attract price premiums, for ex., claims relating to input and other resource use, environental impacts, animal welfare, slaughter/processing infrastructure and efficiencies, and providing continuous supplies of safe products. Markets are rapidly changing as consumers demand various combinations of these attributes in their beef products and as science and consumer knowledge converge. This report explores the market outlook implications of these changes by examining the specific production technologies behind alternative production systems and products. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.

Download or read book Multicriteria Decision Making written by Tomas Gal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a practical level, mathematical programming under multiple objectives has emerged as a powerful tool to assist in the process of searching for decisions which best satisfy a multitude of conflicting objectives, and there are a number of distinct methodologies for multicriteria decision-making problems that exist. These methodologies can be categorized in a variety of ways, such as form of model (e.g. linear, non-linear, stochastic), characteristics of the decision space (e.g. finite or infinite), or solution process (e.g. prior specification of preferences or interactive). Scientists from a variety of disciplines (mathematics, economics and psychology) have contributed to the development of the field of Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) (or Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), Multiattribute Decision Making (MADM), Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM), etc.) over the past 30 years, helping to establish MCDM as an important part of management science. MCDM has become a central component of studies in management science, economics and industrial engineering in many universities worldwide. Multicriteria Decision Making: Advances in MCDM Models, Algorithms, Theory and Applications aims to bring together `state-of-the-art' reviews and the most recent advances by leading experts on the fundamental theories, methodologies and applications of MCDM. This is aimed at graduate students and researchers in mathematics, economics, management and engineering, as well as at practicing management scientists who wish to better understand the principles of this new and fast developing field.

Book Synopsis Environmental Impacts of Pasture-based Farming by : Richard W. McDowell
Download or read book Environmental Impacts of Pasture-based Farming written by Richard W. McDowell and published by CABI. This book was released on 2008 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the different types of grassland farming and their impact on the environment, Environmental Impacts of Pasture-based Farming takes a broad and interdisciplinary view of the subject. The text is organized into two sections, the first addressing issues facing environmental quality, namely soil, water and air quality and socioeconomic impacts. The second section offers commentary on how the different pastoral sectors influence environmental issues. With highly tuned farm productive systems comes the risk of environmental impacts, and the purpose of this text is to highlight the areas with which these risks are associated and how best to mitigate them. While drawing attention to potential problems, chapter authors always remain conscious of the socio-economic needs of land users and the increasing world population and keep in mind that intense mitigation may be too restrictive on the farming system. This book takes an unbiased approach to improving management of grazed land and incorporates research from environmental science, agriculture, soil science and ecology.

Book Synopsis Economic and Environmental Performance of Mixed Crop-Livestock Farming Systems on the Palouse by : Jonathan Malina Wachter
Download or read book Economic and Environmental Performance of Mixed Crop-Livestock Farming Systems on the Palouse written by Jonathan Malina Wachter and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global trends of simplifying cropping systems and segregating livestock from cropping enterprises have generated high yields while exacerbating environmental problems globally. To examine the potential for organic and mixed crop-livestock farming systems to reduce environmental impacts and diversify revenue in the Palouse region of eastern Washington State, long-term research plots were established in April 2012 representing 4 farming systems: a conventional 3-yr winter wheatpea, spring wheat/spring pea rotation (CONV); a mixed crop-livestock 3-yr rotation of winter wheat/spring wheat/grazed winter pea (MIX); an organic mixed crop-livestock rotation of perennial alfalfa/grass hay (3-yr)/grazed springwinter wheat (ORGcrop); and a continuous organic hay system (5-yr) with grazing (ORGhay). This dissertation consists of 3 main chapters: (1) a 40-yr global review assessing the performance of organic and conventional farming systems in the context of sustainability metrics; (2) a 5-yr study of the CONV, MIX, ORGcrop, and ORGhay systems in terms of their productivity, economic performance, and impacts on soil biological indicators; and (3) an examination of N2O and NH3 emissions from these four farming systems in years 4 (2015) and 5 (2016) of the experiment. The review found that organic farms produce lower yields, are more profitable and environmentally friendly, and deliver equally or more nutritious foods that contain less pesticide residues compared with conventional farms. Significant barriers exist to adopting organic and other alternative farming systems, however, and a diversity of policy instruments will be required to facilitate their development and implementation. In the 5-yr field study, ORGcrop and ORGhay plots were more profitable and showed increases in organic carbon, nitrogen mineralization, and biological activity in the soil compared to CONV and MIX plots. Emissions of N2O and NH3 were mainly influenced by specific management and weather events such as fertilization, rainfall, grazing, and cutting hay, and were not consistent between years and farming systems. Organic mixed crop-livestock and hay systems have great untapped potential to improve soil quality and increase revenues in the Palouse region. Moreover, integrating perennial alfalfa and forage grasses into other cereal cropping systems would likely deliver many of these benefits as well.
