Book Synopsis Tomorrow's Table by : Pamela C. Ronald
Download or read book Tomorrow's Table written by Pamela C. Ronald and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the year 2050, Earth's population will double. If we continue with current farming practices, vast amounts of wilderness will be lost, millions of birds and billions of insects will die, and the public will lose billions of dollars as a consequence of environmental degradation. Clearly, there must be a better way to meet the need for increased food production. Written as part memoir, part instruction, and part contemplation, Tomorrow's Table argues that a judicious blend of two important strands of agriculture--genetic engineering and organic farming--is key to helping feed the world's growing population in an ecologically balanced manner. Pamela Ronald, a geneticist, and her husband, Raoul Adamchak, an organic farmer, take the reader inside their lives for roughly a year, allowing us to look over their shoulders so that we can see what geneticists and organic farmers actually do. The reader sees the problems that farmers face, trying to provide larger yields without resorting to expensive or environmentally hazardous chemicals, a problem that will loom larger and larger as the century progresses. They learn how organic farmers and geneticists address these problems. This book is for consumers, farmers, and policy decision makers who want to make food choices and policy that will support ecologically responsible farming practices. It is also for anyone who wants accurate information about organic farming, genetic engineering, and their potential impacts on human health and the environment.

Book Synopsis Phytotoxicity of Nanoparticles by : Mohammad Faisal
Download or read book Phytotoxicity of Nanoparticles written by Mohammad Faisal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides relevant findings on nanoparticles’ toxicity, their uptake, translocation and mechanisms of interaction with plants at cellular and sub-cellular level. The small size and large specific surface area of nanoparticles endow them with high chemical reactivity and intrinsic toxicity. Such unique physicochemical properties draw global attention of scientists to study potential risks and adverse effects of nanoparticles in the environment. Their toxicity has pronounced effects and consequences for plants and ultimately the whole ecosystem. Plants growing in nanomaterials-polluted sites may exhibit altered metabolism, growth reduction, and lower biomass production. Nanoparticles can adhere to plant roots and exert physicochemical toxicity and subsequently cell death in plants. On the other hand, plants have developed various defense mechanisms against this induced toxicity. This books discusses recent findings as well as several unresolved issues and challenges regarding the interaction and biological effects of nanoparticles. Only detailed studies of these processes and mechanisms will allow researchers to understand the complex plant-nanomaterial interactions.

Book Synopsis Genmanipulierte landwirtschaftliche Produkte als Gegenstand des Öffentlichen Wirtschaftsrechts by : Susanne Annelie Goehl
Download or read book Genmanipulierte landwirtschaftliche Produkte als Gegenstand des Öffentlichen Wirtschaftsrechts written by Susanne Annelie Goehl and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Agriculture biotechnology has been described as a tsunami washing over agriculture with fundamental impacts on how we grow and market our food and fiber . Die Debatte über den Einsatz von Biotechnologien in der Landwirtschaft ist eine der lautstärksten und emotionalsten der letzten Jahre, da kaum ein Gebiet wissenschaftlich und gesellschaftlich so umstritten ist, wie die moderne Gentechnik. Grund hierfür sind die stark divergierenden Ansichten der Verbraucher und Regierungen bezüglich der aktuellen und potentiellen Gefahren und Vorteile, die Produkte der landwirtschaftlichen Biotechnologie GVO und Produkte hieraus mit sich bringen können. Der Bereich der gv landwirtschaftlichen Produkte hat erst kürzlich großes öffentliches Aufsehen durch die bevorstehenden Genehmigung der ersten gv Kartoffel erregt. Die Bundesregierung hat die Biotechnologie sogar zur Strategie des Monats August 2007 erklärt. Die Einführung der Gentechnik in der Landwirtschaft hat zu kontroversen Diskussionen geführt, die neben der ökologischen auch eine große wirtschaftliche Dimension haben. Trotzdem sind die Auswirkungen der Gentechnik bisher weitgehend unbekannt, womit sich die dringliche Frage nach einem geeigneten, anpassungsfähigen Rechtssystem stellt, das diesen Anforderungen dem schnellen Wandel der Technik, der Ungewissheit über die Risiken, dem Druck der Öffentlichkeit, insb. in Europa, den gegensätzlichen Verbraucherinteressen weltweit sowie den divergierenden Zielen der EG, WTO und des Cartagena-Protokolls gerecht werden kann. Deutschland ist das Land mit den meisten Biotechnologiefirmen in Europa, die 2006 einen Umsatz von ca. 1,5 Mrd. Euro erzielten und auf 947 Hektar gv Pflanzen, die über eine Zulassung zum IVB verfügen, anbauten. Weltweit wurden ca. 102 Mio. Hektar gv Pflanzen in 22 Ländern angebaut, davon rund 82% in den USA, Argentinien und Brasilien. Gang der Untersuchung: Der rechtliche Hintergrund genmanipulierter landwirtschaftlicher Produkte als Gegenstand des Öffentlichen Wirtschaftsrechts ist eine sehr weitreichende Materie, die für eine zielgerichtete und informative Darstellung der Thematik einiger Einschränkung bedarf. Bei genmanipulierten landwirtschaftlichen Produkten handelt es sich um gv landwirtschaftliche Erzeugnisse, die zunächst im allgemeinen Kontext des Öffentlichen Wirtschaftsrechts eine Konkretisierung erfordern: Ursprung des Regelungsbedarfs bezüglich gv landwirtschaftlicher Erzeugnisse ist [...]

This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Biologie - Genetik / Gentechnologie, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule Weihenstephan; Abteilung Freising, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In diesem Bericht wird eine kurze Einführung in die grüne Gentechnik gegeben. Zudem wird das aktuelle gentechnische Verfahren Crispr/Cas9 genauer erläutert. Es werden zukunftsfähige Chancen und objektiv betrachtete Risiken einander gegenübergestellt. In einem kurzen Kapitel wird außerdem auf das Siegel "Ohne Gentechnik" eingegangen. Bei transgenen Lebensmitteln werden nicht nur gesundheitliche Aspekte in Frage gestellt, sondern es geht oft auch um die ethische Vertretbarkeit der Eingriffe in die Schöpfung, denn letztendlich wird mit dem Zellkern und den Erbinformationen von allen Lebewesen experimentiert. Dabei wird auch mit menschlichen Genen laboriert, wie zum Beispiel in der "roten Gentechnik", die gentechnische Versuche im Bereich der Medizin umfasst. Dazu zählt die Herstellung von Impfstoffen oder auch Versuche mit Embryonen. Als "weiße Gentechnik" wird die Veränderung von Mikroorganismen in der Industrie bezeichnet. Diese Arbeit dreht sich um die "grüne Gentechnik". Diese bezieht sich auf die Landwirtschaft, wobei es vor allem um die Resistenz gegen Schädlinge oder um ertragreiche Pflanzen geht.
Book Synopsis Perennial Biomass Crops for a Resource-Constrained World by : Susanne Barth
Download or read book Perennial Biomass Crops for a Resource-Constrained World written by Susanne Barth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a flavour of activities focussed on the need for sustainably produced biomass to support European strategic objectives for the developing bioeconomy. The chapters cover five broad topic areas relating to the use of perennial biomass crops in Europe. These are: ‘Bioenergy Resources from Perennial Crops in Europe’, ‘European Regional Examples for the Use of Perennial Crops for Bioenergy’, ‘Genotypic Selection of Perennial Biomass Crops for Crop Improvement’, ‘Ecophysiology of Perennial Biomass Crops’ and ‘Examples of End-Use of Perennial Biomass Crops’. Two major issues relating to the future use of biomass energy are the identification of the most suitable second generation biomass crops and the need to utilise land not under intensive agricultural production, broadly referred to as ‘marginal land’. The two main categories of plants that fit these needs are perennial rhizomatous grasses and trees that can be coppiced. The overarching questions that are addressed in the book relate to the suitability of perennial crops for providing feedstocks for a European bioeconomy and the need to exploit environments for biomass crops which do not compete with food crops. Bioenergy is the subject of a wide range of national and European policy measures. New developments covered are, for example, the use of perennial grasses to produce protein for animal feed and concepts to use perennial biomass crops to mitigate carbon emissions through soil carbon sequestration. Several chapters also show how prudent selection of suitable genotypes and breeding are essential to develop high yielding and sustainable second generation biomass crops which are adapted to a wide range of unfavourable conditions like chilling and freezing, drought, flooding and salinity. The final chapters also emphasise the need to be kept an eye out for potential new end-uses of perennial biomass crops that will contribute further to the developing bioeconomy.

Book Synopsis Crop Production Technologies by : Peeyush Sharma
Download or read book Crop Production Technologies written by Peeyush Sharma and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-01-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crop production depends on the successful implementation of the soil, water, and nutrient management technologies. Food production by the year 2020 needs to be increased by 50 percent more than the present levels to satisfy the needs of around 8 billion people. Much of the increase would have to come from intensification of agricultural production. Importance of wise usage of water, nutrient management, and tillage in the agricultural sector for sustaining agricultural growth and slowing down environmental degradation calls for urgent attention of researchers, planners, and policy makers. Crop models enable researchers to promptly speculate on the long-term consequences of changes in agricultural practices. In addition, cropping systems, under different conditions, are making it possible to identify the adaptations required to respond to changes. This book adopts an interdisciplinary approach and contributes to this new vision. Leading authors analyze topics related to crop production technologies. The efforts have been made to keep the language as simple as possible, keeping in mind the readers of different language origins. The emphasis has been on general descriptions and principles of each topic, technical details, original research work, and modeling aspects. However, the comprehensive journal references in each area should enable the reader to pursue further studies of special interest. The subject has been presented through fifteen chapters to clearly specify different topics for convenience of the readers.
