Non.com FAQ Mirrors Prev: auug-faq Next: best-of-internet-faq Sci.agriculture.beekeeping FAQ Archive-name: beekeeping-faq Posting-Frequency: monthly Last-modified:1995/05/5 This FAQ tries to list and point to all informational resources on the internet for beekeepers and apiculturists. A great old beekeeping cliche is: "there are about as many ways to keep bees as there are beekeepers." Therefore rather than list and then answer the myriad beekeeping, bee culture, and apicultural questions in a cumbersome document, specific internet resources are listed in this FAQ so that you may find your own answers, like a true beekeeper! If you are unable to utilize any of these resources, please don't hesitate to contact me or post to sci.agriculture.beekeeping . As a last resort, you could even mail the listserv, bee-l, but *please* be sure to include a return address in your letter, and to realize that your question will go to *** all *** the list subscribers. Explicit instructions on listserv use and bee-l are included in this FAQ. Please read them before mailing anything to bee-l. You can always ask somebody. Asking really works! I'm working on an internet archive for beekeeping. Once this is done, (soon, maybe by next month) you may mail me with information, comments, hints, stories, FAQ ANSWERS, and they will become archived in an easily accessible way, via ftp, gopher, and www. I have already received some really nice beekeeping files. Thank you, you know who you are and you deserve praise! ****** WHAT'S NEW: ****** * USDA-ARS Carl Hayden Bee Research Center (WWW)

What are the Patterns of a Conservation Economy An orchard at Fullbelly Farms near Davis, California. Image by Katy Langstaff. Sustainable Agriculture Conventional agriculture relies on massive application of pesticides, fertilizers, and fossil fuels. It tends to be very large-scale, use large quantities of water, and depend on a handful of highly competitive crops. It results in significant levels of soil erosion, as well as the contamination of groundwater and ecosystems. Sustainable Agriculture eliminates the use of pesticides and hormones and largely maintains soil fertility Sustainable Agriculture is extremely Resource Efficient , and avoids any water withdrawals which impair habitat. It provides buffers of native vegetation along streams to maintain favorable water temperatures and water quality. Sustainable Agriculture also requires that plant and animal wastes be carefully contained and treated to avoid any contaminated run-off. Sustainable Agriculture is a compatible land-use in Buffer Zones . Farms and ranches in these areas should be managed with special attention to maintaining habitat connectivity and quality. For instance, in some areas, ranchers are accepting full compensation for livestock losses rather than opposing wolf reintroduction efforts.

51. On Sustainable Agriculture - Yara Yara is the world s leading producer and marketer of mineral fertilizers that are being supplied to markets around the globe to provide growers with http://www.yara.com/en/sustaining_growth/business_impact/sustainable_agriculture

On sustainable agriculture "If for some reason fertilizer use were discontinued, the world food output would probably plummet some 40% or more" (Worldwatch Institute, 1990) A sustainable agriculture combines the achievement of quality food at affordable prices to meet the demands of a growing population, with minimum adverse impact on our environment. Yara is proud to have been a founder of the mineral fertilizer industry, and today as the world's leading producer and supplier of mineral fertilizers we have a key role to play in a global, sustainable agriculture. There are three central aspects to sustainability - social, economic and ecological. Feeding the world The human aspect, agriculture's role in appeasing hunger, is the social dimension of sustainability. From 1950-2000 the world population rose from 2 billion to 6.2 billion, and at this rate is expected to reach 9.2 billion by 2030. When harvested, crops remove soil nutrients which need to be replaced. As yields have increased, nutrients from soil reserves and organic manures are not sufficient, and mineral fertilizers are needed to provide the required input. Yield increase has kept pace with the growing world population thanks to increased use of mineral fertilizers combined with other developments - including plant breeding, plant protection products, cultivation techniques and use of irrigation - and this must continue if hunger is to be avoided.

Design and management of an urban agriculture rests on organic practices and application of permaculture principles. Organic production systems are inherently healthy, based on ecosystem nutrient recycling, composting, enlightened tillage, and avoidance of petro-chemical inputs. Permaculture is a design philosophy that builds energy efficiency, wise resource use and both personal and community awareness into sustainable, long-term land management systems. Black Creek Urban Agriculture Project Master Plan, 2004. (Click to enlarge) Organic urban agriculture speaks directly to living more sustainably by helping to: diminish the ‘ecological footprint’ of food by producing healthy, good tasting food locally, without use of petro-chemicals, with minimum transportation requirements reduce green house gas emissions and improve air quality as biologically active systems, that also close waste loops by recycling organic wastes and rainwater promote personal well-being, cultural expression, social discourse and understanding of natural processes by the very act of growing, marketing and distributing food from local sources provide local employment, significant learning and skills development opportunities

Environmental Terminology Discovery Service S sustainable agriculture Definition (english only) The desired relationship between agriculture and environment can be captured by the term 'sustainable agriculture'. The 5th environmental action programme refers to sustainable development as 'development, which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. Sustainable agriculture entails the management of natural resources in a way, which ensures that the benefits are also available in the future. A broader understanding of sustainability extends to the protection of landscapes, habitats, and biodiversity, and to overall objectives such as the quality of drinking water and air.
