Crop Nutrients Council _ Working Together
This document discusses a survey conducted by the Crop Nutrients Council on farmers' use and perceptions of Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs). The key findings are:
1) Nearly all farmers surveyed said protecting the environment is important in managing their farms and most use at least one BMP. However, there is still room for improving adoption of BMPs.
2) The survey found most farmers are familiar with BMPs and a large portion use multiple practices. Common BMPs include soil testing and adjusting fertilizer rates based on soil needs.
3) Importantly, many farmers believe BMPs provide economic benefits in addition to environmental protections. Healthier crops yield higher returns.

Demystifying the Farm Bill
A slideshow produced by the good folks at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, that focuses on the 2012 Farm Bill, and on clarifying many of the lingering questions surrounding that complex piece of legislation/legislative process.
INVESTMENT IN AGROECOLOGY
This document discusses alternatives to conventional agriculture that are more sustainable and community-focused. It proposes agroecology using multicropping instead of monocropping to preserve biodiversity. Small farmers struggle with the costs of organic certification, so the document suggests trust-based community certification instead. A community/farmer-led approach can identify best agroecological practices and collectively promote local food sovereignty. Strengthening links between producers and consumers through local marketing systems is recommended. Overall it argues for investing in education, identifying best practices, and building connections to strengthen smallholder food producers and diverse rural communities.
FeedSeed - A PPP innovation platform approach to scaling up forage seed systems
The document summarizes the FeedSeed project which aims to establish a sustainable forage seed system in Ethiopia through a public-private partnership (PPP) approach. The project will create a forage seed business incubator to provide training and mentoring to private and public seed entrepreneurs. It will also train farmers to produce quality forage seed and better feed their livestock, improving productivity and adaptation to climate change. The goal is for more livestock keepers to access improved forage seeds through new seed businesses, intensifying animal systems sustainably.

Agro-bio: Experiences in a Grain Co-operative with Loïc Dewavrin
Loic Dewavrin founded the Coop Agrobio Quebec grain cooperative with other organic farmers in 2006. The cooperative was formed because the farmers felt the larger agricultural union did not adequately represent their interests as mostly organic producers. The cooperative now has 24 member farms across Quebec and Ontario. It allows farmers to band together to access better markets, share equipment and knowledge, and feel less isolated. The cooperative is working on projects like seed cleaning equipment, marketing members' grains together, and developing a cooperative brand. It aims to strengthen the organic sector through improving seed supply and access to testing.

Administrative Skills - Writing using success stories aug 2011 nacaa
This document provides guidance on writing success stories that demonstrate the impact of extension programs. It emphasizes the importance of clearly conveying relevance, outcomes and public value. Outcomes should be described using active verbs to show measurable changes, like increased profits or improved efficiency. Public value statements explain how extension programs contribute to broader conditions by disseminating information or stimulating the local economy. The document also cautions against using descriptive verbs only for outputs, and provides examples of stronger statements that indicate specific condition changes and benefits to the public.
Local food value chains a collaborative conversation
The document summarizes a meeting between the Central Appalachian Network and Appalachia Funders Network to discuss strengthening local food systems. It focused on four key elements: season extension, aggregation/distribution, institutional buying, and policy work. For season extension, the document highlights a program helping farmers access funds for hoophouses to extend the growing season and reduce inputs. This allows year-round production and sales. Effective strategies include training, low/high tunnels, and food preservation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
