Five Fast Developing Industries That Can Expand Our Economies

Image
 We are still in the critical years of immense economic change, as new innovative industries are slowly expanding to meet our future needs. What are these industries? And how do we benefit from them? 1. Nano Technology Nano technology is a World where everything we commonly use becomes smaller, from the televisions we watch to the computers we use at home. Currently Nano technology is creating smaller, energy efficient products, and a hive of expanding new mini industries. Bringing new exciting products like the i-phone, to flat screen energy efficient televisions to modern consumers. 2. "Green-tech" Industries The current cooperation between science and business is bringing startling results- despite the disappointing much promised "Green revolution." New energy efficient designs are creating cars that pollute less and use renewable energy, and new forms of efficient public transport. New alternative energies are getting cheaper and much more efficient. Soon we cou

Produce Traceability And Trace Back From Field To Fork, A Milestone For The Safety Of Fresh Produce

Image
 Today, in a market that continues going towards a wide-scale integration of a universal food and produce traceability system, PTI (produce traceability initiative), now in its fourth year of existence, has established several milestones (seven milestones to be precise) to mark its progress of implementation. The final milestone is to read and store information on all outbound cases, which is essentially whole-chain traceability. The final milestone was due to be met in 2012, which insiders say now is unlikely industry wide. However, progress is moving forward and some of the largest retail chains will likely meet the final milestone this year, which no doubt will impact many in the industry. The produce traceability initiative, a call to action As the potential for fresh and fresh-processed produce to cause foodborne illness became increasingly evident, one of the industry responses was to seek a uniform and harmonized mechanism to effectively minimize the acute and chronic burden of

All About Agricultural Marketing

Image
 The term agricultural marketing is comprised of two different words namely, agriculture and marketing. 'Agriculture', of course refers to the activities making use of natural resources for the welfare of society whereas 'Marketing' means looking after the marketing functions, channels and agencies etc. Agricultural marketing therefore, is a bridge between the farm and non-farm sectors. Discussed under are the core details of agricultural marketing. Take a look: Significance and Features of Agriculture Marketing As far as Indian agricultural scenario is concerned, the farmers have lately realized the importance of adopting new production techniques increased productivity. The Indian farmers are no more confined to produce as much needed for self-consumption but they now produce to serve the market at large and earn more and more revenue out of it. Agricultural marketing is thus registering its importance and significance all the more with the advent of modern agricultur

Protect Our Food Production - The H-2A Program Should Be Blasted Away!

Image
 We should be thinking about protecting ourselves from future food shortages by strengthening our internal food production. Today, over 50% of our internal agricultural labor is illegal, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Said another way, more than 800,000 of the 1.6 million agro workers who work on our crops and livestock each year are foreigners without legal permission to work. If you still haven't seen the light, here's the bottom line: there's a potentially disastrous weakness in our food production system because we're dependent on foreign food imports, undocumented foreign workers, and a shortage of American workers. Instead of blaming the farmers, or screaming at our politicians for not protecting our borders, we should be truly responsible by getting off our butts. First, by coaching our kids to go into farming. Next, we should be aware of economic realities which have been in place since the 1940s. President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the Bracer

Significance and Processes Involved In Agricultural Seed Production

Image
 Seed is one of the most important and critical input for agricultural production. The agricultural output depends on the quality of seeds used for cultivation purposes. The agro industry in India has witnessed significant developments in the past thirty years. The government has taken several initiative steps to augment the development of the industry in India. One of the major developments in the Indian agro industry is the introduction of New Seed Development Policy. With the introduction of this policy, the Indian farmers gained access to some of the best seed products in the world. This has further initiated new investments from private organizations and MNCs to conduct product development researches on various hybrid cereal and vegetable seeds. Production of Onion Seeds Different types of vegetable and cereal seeds are produced in the country with the use of technologically advanced methods. Onion is one of the most widely used vegetable crops with huge demand in both national an

Ruined Rural Economy - Doomed Farmers

 "Government official are honest to the last drop of their blood, while sharing the booty of poor farmers after harvesting" On March 25, 2007 my dear Ezine readers, you would be shocked to read that yet another poorer Indian farmer had committed suicide in the State of Maharashtra because while Government has failed to fulfill her responsibilities on one side, the Indian private business community black marketers have plundered and drained out the last drop of sweat and blood from poverty ridden farmers on the other. The poor farmer, when noticed that his sugarcane crop is getting spoiled, he was left with no choice but embrace death. Committing suicide is the last resort of achieving ultimate salvation from all the miseries of being a human in the world. What a shame for Indian economist and people reverse agro sector economy? Fate of Indian farmers was doomed on the very first day, when Man Mohan-P Chidambaram-Montek Singh (MM-PC-MS) economists have presented their first an

 Agriculture is important factor and play vital role in enhancing the development of the country. Not just does this practice help in feeding the entire country but also has great impact on the co-related industries and sectors. The stability and development of the agricultural benchmarks' make the nation well established in every sense. Agriculturally well sound company ensures food security.

So its very necessary to shelter new technologies to every time revamp the procedure and tools which are brought into use in agriculture. Agro equipments should be used of cutting edge nature as they are vital tools which make the production possible in huge quantity. Farmers should

Agro-Forestry With Paulownia Organic Nitrogen

Image
 Organic nitrogen supplied by utilizing paulownia trees in an integrated plantation design, allows for the introduction, not only of inter-crop species, but also grazing stock. When set out in a plantation design, Paulownias are planted closely in rows, then thinned by the row, over a number of seasons. In the first year of growth, mid season, every second row is harvested as lightweight material for pole constructions and the like. After having been cut, the stumps left in the ground will re-generate at a remarkable speed. The resultant growth is used as a cut-and-come-again source of green manure or fodder. Early during the following growing season, the stumps fail due to over-competition from the remaining plantation, mainly this is a light requirement factor, or rather, lack thereof. The leaves are huge. Grazing animals are not allowed into the plantation at this time. The following season, but later in, once again, the now second row of standing timber (now about 6 inches thick) i
