Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable horticulture is gaining increasing attention in the field of agriculture as demand for the food production rises to the world community. Sustainable horticultural systems are based on ecological principles to farm, optimizes pest and disease management approaches through environmentally friendly and renewable strategies in production agriculture. It is a discipline that addresses current issues such as food security, water pollution, soil health, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, entomology, ecology, chemistry and food sciences. Sustainable horticulture interprets methods and processes in the farming system to the global level. For that, horticulturists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable horticulture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable horticulture treats problem sources.

Download or read book The economic perspective of converting avocado farming in Lebanon from conventional to organic written by Yara Hijazi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 1,8, University of Koblenz-Landau (Faculty of Natural Sciences), language: English, abstract: The goal of this paper is to find out whether converting from conventional to organic farming of some avocado farmers would improve the economic situation of the farmers in Lebanon. It also aims to look deeper into the motivation of conversion, obstacles in the way, and to consider alternatives. Lebanon is one of the small countries in the Middle East where agriculture plays a huge role in supporting its economy. The United Nations stated that, in total, 6,8 million people reside in Lebanon where the agriculture sector contributes to 2.5% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and offers jobs to more than 11% of the population. Due to a Mediterranean climate and a fair amount of rain, the Lebanese agricultural practice varies along the mountains and coast. With the suitable climate, fertile soil, a high amount of rainfall, and water availability for irrigation, more than 2000 different wild species of plants can grow. This allows for different types of crops as well, including field crops, olives, fruits, vegetables, and many more. This diversity enables not only the benefit to the locals but also the exporting of the harvest to the Arab countries and Europe. In the past, farmers were dependent on certain fruits, mainly citrus (for example lemon, orange, mandarin). These were planted on a 210-km-area along the coast. However, these fruits have suffered during the past decade as a result of socio-political-economic reasons, failing to provide economic support for the local farmers. Nevertheless, farmers showed a potential to shift agricultural practices towards other fruits. The avocado tree showed to be a prominent candidate and its role in agriculture has had a huge development with the help of projects by foreign nations such as the United States (US), The Netherlands, and France. This supported the agriculture sector through the funding of projects and by providing experts to help farmers increase their production to a higher level. Today, avocado farming belongs not only to the important fields of Lebanese agriculture but also in the Arab and European markets the sale of Lebanese avocados has been prominent. The international market for avocados is highly competitive, and research shows that markets such as Europe prefer better quality and more sustainable organic fruits. However, the economy in Lebanon has seen a drastic decline since October 2019 and farmers need a sustainable plan to keep their work going.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen major political upheaval in Latin America--from Brazil to Chile to Venezuela to Bolivia--but to understand what happened, ask first where your quinoa and lithium batteries came from... The 21st century began optimistically in Latin America. Left-leaning leaders armed with programs to reduce poverty and reclaim national wealth were seeing results—but as the aughts gave way to the teens, they began to fall like dominos. Where did the dreams of this "pink tide" go? Look no further than the original culprits of Latin American disenfranchisement: resource-rich land and unscrupulous extraction. Recounting the story commodity by commodity, Andy Robinson reveals what oxen have to do with the rise of Jair Bolsonaro, how quinoa explains the mob that descended on Evo Morales, and why oil is the culprit behind the protracted coup in Venezuela. In addition to the usual suspects like gold and bananas which underscored the original plunder of the Americas, Robinson also shows how a new generation of valuable resources—like coltan for smartphones, lithium for electric cars, and niobium for SpaceX rockets—have become important players in the fate of Latin America. And as the energy transition sets mineral prices soaring, Latin America remains at the mercy of the rollercoaster of commodity prices. In Gold, Oil, and Avocados, Robinson takes readers from the salt plains of Chile to the depths of the Amazonian jungle to stitch together the story of Latin America's last decade, showing how the imperial plunder of the past carries on today under a new name.

Download or read book Water Management Practices in California 'hass' Avocado written by Julie Carmela Reints and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In California, a multiyear drought from 2009 to 2016 forced avocado growers to re-evaluate their water management practices. Groundwater, which accounts most of the state's water supply, was in direct competition with urban and environmental demands for water. California production accounts for 90% of the avocados produced in the United States avocado which is an economically important commodity to the state. When faced with fluctuations in water availability, reliability, and quality, avocado growers must consider the effects of these changes on long term yield and profits. The dissertation research was divided into two projects which were organized into two main chapters. Research in chapter 2 used a survey instrument distributed to growers to learn about their use of irrigation management practices. The results of this research identified key determinants underlying which combinations or "bundles" of technologies and management practices were implemented by California avocado growers during the current drought. Results indicated that the likelihood of adopting more advanced water-saving technologies and management practices increased with the shift in the location of the orchard from cooler coastal counties to hotter and drier inland areas, with the increased proportion of grower income derived from avocado production, and the greater level of importance the grower placed on information obtained from cooperative extension services; it decreased with increased irrigation complexity and grower age. Results indicated that the likelihood of adopting more advanced water-saving technologies and management practices increased with the shift in the location of the orchard from cooler coastal counties to hotter and drier inland areas, with the increased proportion of grower income derived from avocado production, and the greater level of importance the grower placed on information obtained from cooperative extension services; it decreased with increased irrigation complexity and grower age. Research in chapter 3 was a field study of the impacts of quantity and quality of irrigation water on avocado orchards. The overall goal of the research was to determine how water quality and soil hypoxia effect leaf chloride, manganese, iron and yield on 'Hass' avocado trees grafted on different rootstocks. A second objective was to determine whether tree uptake of iron and manganese is affected by hypoxia and whether the concentrations of these nutrients in leaf tissues may serve as surrogate markers for avocado tree exposure to hypoxia over time. The research was conducted over multiple years in three orchards, which were representative of the spatial and climatic variations of the avocado-growing regions in California. In each orchard, in situ soil monitoring equipment for continual recording of soil salinity, volumetric water content, soil temperature, soil water potential and irrigation frequency were installed. Soil hypoxia appeared to have no statistically significant effect on leaf chloride accumulation in this dataset. Leaf manganese accumulation proved to be a better marker for soil hypoxia followed by leaf iron. Results indicate that irrigation salinity may be an environmental factor that effects alternate bearing in 'Hass' avocado. Results may help guide avocado growers in irrigation management and emphases the importance of understanding microsite variability with an orchard. The combined results from projects one and two will help guide grower irrigation practices for optimizing both yields and profitability in relation to water quality and soil type.

Book excerpt: The avocado is arguably the most iconic food of the twenty-first century. In less than one-hundred years, it has gone from a little-known regional delicacy to global embrace and social media fame. This may seem like an astounding trajectory for a fruit that isn’t sweet, that gets bitter when it is cooked, and has perhaps the oddest texture of any fruit or vegetable. But it is precisely the avocado’s contradictions that have contributed to its ascent: the idea that this rich and delicious fruit is also healthy despite being fatty and energy-dense grants it unicorn status with modern eaters, especially millennials. Through lively anecdotes, colorful pictures, and delicious recipes, Jeff Miller explores the meteoric rise of the avocado, from its coevolution with the megaherbivores of the Pleistocene to its acceptance by the Spanish conquistadors in Mexico, to its current dominance of food consumers’ imaginations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether smashed on toast or hailed as a superfood, the avocado has taken the world by storm, but what are the environmental and social impacts of this trendy fruit? This book does not seek to demonise the avocado and its many enthusiasts. Instead, it will illuminate consumers on the often unseen impacts of foods. A staple of cafes, restaurants, homes, and social media channels, demand for the avocado has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. From an everyday crop in South and Central America to a global phenomenon, this drastic change in demand has many consequences for people and the planet. As demand grows, so does the need for more land, with land clearances threatening habitats and biodiversity. As production grows, so does global distribution and the impacts that air and sea travel have on the environment. The shift from a local to a global product disturbs the local food system, raising serious questions around food sovereignty and food justice and the importance of establishing an agricultural system that is both environmentally and socially just. While focusing here on the avocado, this book allows readers to gain a better understanding of the food system as a whole. In doing so, it empowers us all to think carefully and critically about the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices more broadly. We shouldn’t feel guilty about eating avocados, we should simply understand the impact of doing so. This book is essential reading for all who are interested in learning more about the food system, sustainable diets, and the relationship between farming and the environment.
