Download or read book Dimensions of Access to Traceability Information for US Beef Cattle Producers written by Reid Isaac Boehm and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US consumers eat a lot of beef. The nation's beef cattle production industry is a multi-faceted, complex supply chain which makes it an area rich for discussion about information practices, yet vulnerable to problems such as disease and terrorist attack. This research looks at cattle identification and traceability information resources that are accessible to beef cattle producers through two web channels: the state cooperative Extension website and the state Department of Agriculture website. This is a state by state content analysis of all fifty states to look at the topics, types, formats, quality, and interactivity of the available resources. By merging two information frameworks, one with theoretical attention to components of access to information and one with applied attention to government information valuation measures, the research demonstrates an analysis process that connects state cattle producer demographics for comparison with aspects of the available cattle identification and traceability information from that state. This includes visualizing the nation as a whole and comparing state-based similarities and differences, illuminating areas of strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in contextually congruent information for the producer and stakeholder populations.
Book Synopsis Hey USDA, Where's My Cow? Factors Influencing U.S. Cattle Producer Participation in a Mandatory Traceability System by : Brenda J. Holland
Download or read book Hey USDA, Where's My Cow? Factors Influencing U.S. Cattle Producer Participation in a Mandatory Traceability System written by Brenda J. Holland and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : There was low participation (40%) by cattle producers in the United States’ voluntary traceability system known as the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). A mandatory traceability system was implemented by the United States Department of Agriculture on March 11, 2013. Any cattle that are moved between states must be identified. Participation in the new system needs to be at least 70% to be considered successful. Beef cattle producers may have privacy and trust issues that would be factors affecting participation in a traceability system. Surveys were sent to 2,000 subscribers of BEEF Magazine. Out of the 361 responses, there were 196 usable surveys. Drawing upon the theories of economics and compliance, research was conducted to determine if participation rates in a traceability system were affected by the entity that managed the system, either Government, Private Industry, or Private Non-Industry entity; the data that the system gathered, i.e., marketing claims; and the incentives received from the traceability system. The current research indicated that participation rates will increase if a private industry maintains the data. Antibiotic-free was the marketing claim of the data that the system gathered that influenced participation, and participation decreased with this marketing claim. Lastly the incentives or benefits received from the traceability will positively affect participation rates. Any government entity or organization wishing to implement a traceability system, could use these findings to increase participation in their traceability system.
Book Synopsis Cow-calf Producer Preferences for Voluntary Traceability Systems and System Attributes by : Lee L. Schulz
Download or read book Cow-calf Producer Preferences for Voluntary Traceability Systems and System Attributes written by Lee L. Schulz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Substantial losses can occur if animal identification systems cannot quickly and adequately identify individual animals, the premises where they were located, and their movements throughout production and processing. This creates a need met by this study in determining how traceability systems should be designed and promoted in order to improve voluntary participation rate. This research utilized a survey of U.S. cow-calf producers to identify cow-calf producer preferences and perceptions regarding voluntary traceability systems and system attributes and in turn determined what type of voluntary traceability systems would receive the greatest support. Meeting this core objective allowed for better identification of the potential success of alternative voluntary traceability systems that could exist in the beef industry. A second tier of research questions included examinations of mandatory vs. voluntary NAIS [National Animal Identification System] preferences, self-revelation of current NAIS participation, and the most current concerns and important issues to cow-calf producers regarding traceability. Results have policy implications as the optimal voluntary traceability system hinges critically upon cow-calf producer perceptions of traceability systems and system attributes. Results indicate the importance of considering producers' perceptions and preferences regarding traceability when designing traceability systems"--Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that is rapidly gaining popularity due to its several benefits in a wide area of applications like inventory tracking, supply chain management, automated manufacturing, healthcare, etc. The benefits of implementing RFID technologies can be seen in terms of efficiency (increased speed in production, reduced shrinkage, lower error rates, improved asset tracking etc.) or effectiveness (services that companies provide to the customers). Leading to considerable operational and strategic benefits, RFID technology continues to bring new levels of intelligence and information, strengthening the experience of all participants in this research domain, and serving as a valuable authentication technology. We hope this book will be useful for engineers, researchers and industry personnel, and provide them with some new ideas to address current and future issues they might be facing.

Book Synopsis Rangeland Desertification by : Olafur Arnalds
Download or read book Rangeland Desertification written by Olafur Arnalds and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Desertification has occurred worldwide. The biophysical and socio-economic complexity of this phenomenon has challenged our ability to categorize, inventory, monitor and repair the condition of degraded lands. One of the most important distinctions to be made in relation to land degradation is between cultivated land used for annual crop production and `rangelands'. Grazing by free-roaming livestock is the traditional primary use of the world's rangelands. However, there is growing recognition of the importance of these vast acreages for wildlife habitat, hydrology and ground water recharge, recreation and aesthetics. This text focuses on the desertification of rangelands and explores processes, problems and solutions. Chapters in the first section evaluate interactions between `natural' and human-induced disturbance regimes, thresholds, and non-linear change with respect to vegetation, hydrology, nutrients and erosion. Chapters in the second section examine socio-economic constraints and approaches for preventing and reversing degradation. The book provides a contemporary, process-oriented perspective on rangeland degradation of value to students, policy-makers and professionals alike.

Download or read book Local Food Systems; Concepts, Impacts, and Issues written by Steve Martinez and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive overview of local food systems explores alternative definitions of local food, estimates market size and reach, describes the characteristics of local consumers and producers, and examines early indications of the economic and health impacts of local food systems. Defining ¿local¿ based on marketing arrangements, such as farmers selling directly to consumers at regional farmers¿ markets or to schools, is well recognized. Statistics suggest that local food markets account for a small, but growing, share of U.S. agricultural production. For smaller farms, direct marketing to consumers accounts for a higher percentage of their sales than for larger farms. Charts and tables.
