Rethinking agricultural development,the caribbeanDebbie-Ann Hall
This document summarizes the evolution of thinking around agricultural development and reviews agricultural development strategies in the Caribbean. It traces how development thinking shifted from prioritizing industrialization to recognizing agriculture's role in economic growth. While early strategies in the Caribbean focused on import substitution and export crops, recognition is growing that agricultural development is essential for food security, economic growth, and poverty reduction. The challenges now are to craft new strategies that boost domestic food production through improved policies, infrastructure, research, and support for small farmers.
Growing tomatoes, peppers and eggplants in wisconsinDebbie-Ann Hall
This document provides guidance for growing tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants in Wisconsin for fresh market sales. It discusses site selection, cultivar selection, planting and transplanting, soil and nutrient management, irrigation, harvest and storage, and pest and disease management. The document recommends starting seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting tomatoes and 6-8 weeks for peppers to allow plants to develop before being planted outdoors after the last frost date. Raised beds and hardening off transplants are advised to prepare plants for field conditions.
The document discusses plant propagation through seeds. It describes how sexually producing seeds benefits plants by allowing for genetic variation which plant breeders select from to develop new varieties. The process of seed germination is outlined, including the necessary conditions of moisture, temperature, oxygen, and sometimes light or darkness. Factors that determine successful growth of seeds indoors include seed quality, planting medium, temperature control, and proper transplant timing. When direct seeding outdoors, site selection, seedbed preparation, planting date, depth and spacing, and seedling care are important for success.

This document discusses multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs). It defines MEAs as legally binding instruments between two or more nation states dealing with some aspect of the environment. It notes that MEAs have proliferated in recent decades in response to growing awareness of environmental issues. However, this proliferation has resulted in overlaps and dispersed efforts between agreements. There are ongoing efforts to cluster and integrate MEAs to improve coordination and reduce duplication between international agreements governing the environment.
Soil management in home gardens and landscapesDebbie-Ann Hall
This document provides information on proper soil management for home gardens and landscapes. It discusses the importance of soil testing to understand a soil's properties and needs. Adding organic matter such as compost, manure, cover crops, and peat moss can improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient levels. Proper pH adjustment and fertilization are also important to support plant growth. Understanding a soil's composition and managing organic content, nutrients, and pH through testing and amendments creates optimal conditions for plant development.
This document discusses fruit and vegetable marketing in Pennsylvania. It outlines several important fruits and vegetables grown in the state, including potatoes, tomatoes, apples, peaches, cherries, plums, and grapes. It also discusses various marketing channels for produce, such as farmers' markets, wholesale markets, cooperatives, and direct sales to supermarkets or consumers. Key factors that affect fruit and vegetable marketing are perishability, seasonality, price and quantity risks, product bulkiness, and quality standards.
This document provides an overview of air pollution sources and impacts. It discusses key air pollutants like sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and ozone depleting substances. It describes the human health and environmental impacts of each pollutant. The document also outlines regulations from MARPOL Annex VI that aim to reduce ship emissions, including limits on sulfur content in fuel and requirements for nitrogen oxide emissions from ship engines. Prevention methods discussed include the use of low-sulfur fuels and exhaust gas cleaning systems, as well as engine modification technologies to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.
This document discusses pomegranate production, post-harvest management techniques, and value addition opportunities for pomegranates. It provides an overview of pomegranate production levels in India and discusses the various health benefits of pomegranates. It then outlines several unit operations for post-harvest handling of fruits and vegetables including harvesting, cooling, storage, and transportation. Various techniques for pomegranate processing are described including aril extraction, minimal processing, and development of products like anardana powder, jelly, and tablets. Storage and cooling technologies like evaporative cool chambers and a two-stage evaporative cooler are also summarized. Finally, the document discusses entrepreneurship and training programs offered by the Central Institute of Post
This document discusses how technological innovations in agriculture impact supply and prices. It provides examples of major advancements like mechanization, fertilizers, and biotechnology. Technology allows farmers to increase supply by producing more with the same inputs. While demand for food is inelastic, supply becomes more elastic over time. New technologies can initially increase total revenue but eventually farmers must adopt them to remain competitive, trapping them on a "technological treadmill" where profits decline. Emerging biotechnologies may change agricultural marketing systems and create opportunities for new crop types.
This document discusses various post-harvest processes and technologies that can be used to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of fresh produce. It focuses on factors that affect the respiration and transpiration rates of produce, including temperature, relative humidity, and atmosphere composition. Maintaining optimal temperature and relative humidity levels through pre-cooling, refrigeration, and controlled atmosphere storage is key to reducing deterioration and losses. Other techniques mentioned include curing, coatings, controlled atmospheres, irradiation, and pest control methods. The aim of post-harvest handling is to delay senescence and avoid quality losses to maximize market opportunities.
