Agriculture and agribusiness Books

Book SynopsisThroughout American history the prohibition and restriction of alcohol, including wine, has been part of what we now call culture wars. After losing the Prohibition Constitutional Amendment, anti-alcohol forces rebranded themselves as neoprohibitionists dedicated to the restriction of alcohol usage and they touted themselves as the counter-voice to alcohol organizations like the Wine Institute led by John A. De l.uca from 1976 to 2013.Trade Review"No one knows the history of California's wine culture better than Victor Geraci. He has mastered the literature, enhanced it with oral histories, and crafted an informative, readable history that sheds new light on the work of the Wine Institute to transform the industry into an important part of American agriculture, business, and culture."—R. Douglas Hurt, professor of history, Purdue University, author of A Companion to American Agricultural History"I loved the material presented in The War on Wine. The book's very popular writing style will please a general audience, including wine enthusiasts and wine history buffs; local, public, and campus libraries; and undergraduate students enrolled in courses on the history of wine and food in the United States."—Simone Cinotto, associate professor of contemporary history, University of Gastronomic Sciences, author of The Italian American Table: Food, Family, and Community in New York CityTable of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction Chapter One: The Early Republic's Failure To Establish A Wine Culture Chapter Two: The Rise of the First American Wine Culture Chapter Three: Loss and Rebirth of An American Wine Culture Chapter Four: Rebuilding the Wine Industry Chapter Five: A Perfect Man for the Job: A Faltering Wine Institute Seeks New Leadership Chapter Six: Stabilizing the Wine Institute and Reestablishing A Tarnished American Wine Industry Chapter Seven: Neoprohibition: The Continuing Battle for an American Wine Culture Chapter Eight: Alla Vostra Salute — To Your Health Chapter Nine: Bio-nutrition, Pyramids, and Labels Chapter Ten: Direct Shipping Chapter Eleven: Politics of Wine: Bipartisanship, Soundbites, and the Wine Caucus Chapter Twelve: Establishing the Path for the Wine Institute's Future Epilogue: Who Will Carry the Banner Next?

Book SynopsisThe Mallet Ranch, from its founding to the present, has followed the arc of most Texas ranches. It has experienced booms and busts, and its owners have fretted over droughts and floods as well as fights in courtrooms. Despite hardships that may have outnumbered successes, the Mallet, headquartered in Hockley County, Texas, perseveres to this day.But More Than Running Cattle is more than just a ranch tale. It is the story of a family both unique and conventional among Texas stock raisers. David M. DeVitt, like many before him, was not "born" to be a Texas cattleman. DeVitt began his career as a reporter in Brooklyn, New York, before he decided to leave that path behind to try his luck on the wide-open ranges of West Texas.David DeVitt passed down his hardy, independent spirit to his two daughters. Although Christine and Helen were raised in Fort Worth, both from a young age learned the lesson that the West Texas land—and the Mallet Ranch—were part of their souls. When their father died, the two sisters fought to retain control of the Mallet for the family.The discovery in 1938 of oil on the ranch, and the subsequent drilling of more than a thousand oil wells over the next few decades, transformed the Mallet from a struggling enterprise into one of the most profitable such entities in the nation. From that financial windfall sprung from the land, Christine and Helen generously reinvested back into the region. The two non-profit organizations founded by the DeVitt sisters have distributed more than $200 million.The story of the Mallet Ranch told within these pages illuminates and delves into this remarkable story of a family, their operation, and the land that made it all possible.

Book SynopsisIntellectual Property and Agriculture addresses the important but largely neglected question of intellectual property's relationship to the production, processing, marketing, and circulation of agricultural inputs, products, and practices. This comprehensive literature review assesses the work of scholars from law, history, anthropology, science and technology studies, economics, and plant science on plants and plant genetic resources, late twentieth century international intellectual property agreements, and geographical indications of origin.Trade Review‘Coming in at almost two thousand pages and one hundred articles, it would be easy to see this collection as yet another reader - a snapshot of the state of the art of a field. But this is a big wolf in sheep's clothing, labeled as a collection about intellectual property and agriculture but using the literature on the topic to brilliantly question, and expand, what we mean by both “IP” and “agriculture”, and their relationship. The whole is much more than the sum of the parts - and there are many different parts contributed by scholars in law, anthropology, economics, environmental studies, history of science, and plant science. The relationship between intellectual property and agriculture will never look the same, or more interesting than this.’Table of ContentsVolume I Contents: Acknowledgements Introduction Brad Sherman and Susannah Chapman PART I FOOD SECURITY AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY 1.

Book SynopsisInnovations of agri-food systems during the last 50 years have been guided by a globalized agro-industrial paradigm, which has contributed to climate change, degradation of natural resources, soil depletion, social inequalities, loss of biodiversity and various food-related health problems. Despite the increasing emphasis of food policies and research to address these issues with ecologically sustainable innovations, there are still no studies that explain how to utilize and integrate ecodesign practices in food products development in a world of finite resources. This book explains how to employ ecodesign in business models to address the economic, social, environmental, and nutritional problems that face the world�s food systems. The lessons of the ÉcoTrophélia project ? a unique program implemented by a group of European agricultural higher education institutions to involve students in designing and developing food ecoinnovation projects ? are explored. Through an analysis of these projects, the authors describe the tools, methods and standards that were developed to institute ecodesign into the business models of 11 ecologically-friendly food products. This book provides operational good practices that can be implemented in educational programs and agri-food industries, to orient learning and practices towards greater sustainability.Table of ContentsForeword ix Acknowledgments xi Introduction xv Part 1.

Book SynopsisBasque Immigrants and Nevada's Sheep Industry is a rich and complex exploration of the history of Basque immigration to the rangelands of Nevada and the interior West. It looks critically at the Basque sheepherders in the American West and more broadly at the modern history of American foreign relations with Spain after the Second World War.Between the 1880s and the 1950s, the western open-range sheep industry was the original economic attraction for Basque immigrants. This engaging study tracks the development of the Basque presence in the American West, providing deep detail about the sheepherders' history, native and local culture, the challenges they faced, and the changing conditions under which the Basques lived and worked. Saitua also shows how Basque immigrant sheepherders went from being a marginalized labor group to a desirable, high-priced workforce in response to the constant demand for their labor power.As the twentieth century progressed, the geopolitical tide in America began to change. In 1924, the Restrictive Immigration Act resulted in a truncated labor supply from the Basque Country in Spain. During the Great Depression and the Second World War, the labor shortage became acute. In response, Senator Patrick McCarran from Nevada lobbied on behalf of his wool-growing constituency to open immigration doors for Basques, the most desirable laborers for tending sheep in remote places. Subsequently, Cold War international tensions offered opportunities for a reconciliation between the United States and Francisco Franco, despite Spain's previous sympathy with the Axis powers.This fresh portrayal shows how Basque immigrants became the backbone of the sheep industry in Nevada. It also contributes to a wider understanding of the significance of Basque immigration by exploring the role of Basque agricultural labor in the United States, the economic interests of Western ranchers, and McCarran's diplomacy as catalysts that eventually helped bring Spain into the orbit of western democracies.Trade Review"This is a story that is simultaneously transnational and intensely local. Historians of the American West are deeply indebted to this fine young historian."— Steven M. Avella, professor of history, Marquette University, Milwaukee"Iker Saiatua provides a fresh perspective on the story of Basque migration to the American West. His painstaking research uncovers new source material and applies current race and labor historiography, while personal anecdotes tie it all together." — John Bieter, author of An Enduring Legacy: The Story of Basques in IdahoTable of Contents Note for Users ix Introduction: The Basque Frontier of the American West 1 Part I: After the Sheep Rush 1.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on three essential elements of agricultural supply chains: Planting and Growing, Processing and Selling, and Government Interventions. For decades, most agricultural economists applied macro-economic theory in decisions pertaining to the optimization of food production and distribution. However, few researchers used micro-economic theory to examine how individual farmers respond to market information, incentive pricing mechanisms and different market structures in the trade of agricultural goods. Examining challenges in agricultural supply chain operations through the lens of micro-economic theory is imperative because it can enable policymakers and social enterprises to develop and design market information provision policy, incentive contracts and market structures for improving farmer and consumer welfare.In each chapter, contributing authors motivate their research questions by providing the context and articulating the importance of their questions. They present their analysis to examine the respective research questions and explain their results. At the end of each chapter, they provide a short list of future research questions.Table of ContentsPart A: Planting and Growing.- Chapter 1: Dynamic Crop Allocation in the Presence of Two-Season Crop Rotation Benefits.- Chapter 2: Agricultural Production Planning under Yield-Dependent Cost and Price.- Chapter 3: Mechanisms for Effective Sharing of Agricultural Water Between Head-Reach and Tail-End Farms.- Chapter 4: Portfolio Management Issues in the Commercial Seed Industry: A Modeling Framework and Industry Implementation.- Part B: Processing and Selling.- Chapter 5: Procurement Management in Agricultural Commodity Processing.- Chapter 6: The Influence of Yield-Dependent Trading Costs on Pricing and Production Planning under Supply Uncertainty.- Chapter 7: Capacity Management in Agricultural Commodity Processing.- Chapter 8: A Prescriptive Model for Selling Wine Futures to Mitigate Quality Uncertainty.- Chapter 9: Wine Analytics: Futures or Bottles.- Part C: Government Interventions.- Chapter 10: Implications of Farmer Information Provision Policies: Heterogeneous Farmers and Market Selection.- Chapter 11: Agricultural Market Information: Economic Value and Provision Policy.- Chapter 12: Knowledge Sharing among Smallholders in Developing Economies.- Chapter 13: Policy Interventions for an Agriculture-Based Malaria Medicine Supply Chain.- Chapter 14: The Impact of Crop Minimum Support Price on Crop Production and Farmer Welfare.- Chapter 15: Input- vs. Output-Based Farm Subsidies in Developing Economies: Farmer Welfare and Income Inequality.

Book SynopsisIndian agriculture has been characterized by a significant degree of uncertainty, encompassing a range of factors such as climate change, fluctuating productivity, unpredictable market prices, escalating costs of cultivation, and diminishing returns. These uncertainties are inherent in complex systems where numerous contributory factors are either unpredictable or unfathomable. The higher the complexity, the lower the resilience, and the greater the uncertainty. The Indian agricultural production system, particularly in rain-fed, open-air conditions that are susceptible to numerous risks and uncertainties, is highly vulnerable to weather and resource unpredictability, market volatility, limited access to technology, and an unstable input delivery mechanism. Indian agriculture is currently facing a crossroads, as it grapples with the unpredictability and uncertainty of its environment. The growth rate of food production is only marginally higher than the population growth rate. The book under consideration has uniquely addressed a range of perceived uncertainties that contribute to stress and risk for both farmers and the economy as a whole. It is worth noting that the worlds largest agrarian economy is largely managed by private landowners, who are often at the mercy of middlemen and the vagaries of weather. Furthermore, the book, which is based on an empirical study, has identified the key variables that influence farmers responses to and compliance with the unpredictability and social dynamics of their environment.

Book SynopsisSince its inception over two millennia ago, the spice trade has connected and transformed the environments, politics, cultures, and cuisines of vastly different societies around the world. The ‘magical’ qualities of spices mean they offer more than a mere food flavoring, often evoking memories of childhood events or specific festivals. Although spices are frequently found in our kitchen cupboards, how they get there has something of a mythical allure. In this ethnographically rich and insightful study, the authors embark on a journey of demystification that starts in the Sino-Vietnamese uplands with three spices – star anise, black cardamom, and cassia (cinnamon) – and ends on dining tables across the globe. This book foregrounds the experiences of ethnic minority farmers cultivating these spices, highlighting nuanced entanglements among livelihoods, environment, ethnic identity, and external pressures, as well as other factors at play. It then investigates the complex commodity chains that move and transform these spices from upland smallholdings and forests in this frontier to global markets, mapping the flows of spices, identifying the numerous actors involved, and teasing out critical power imbalances. Finally, it focuses on value-creation and the commoditization of these spices across a spectrum of people and places. This rich and carefully integrated volume offers new insights into upland frontier livelihoods and the ongoing implications of the contemporary agrarian transition. Moreover, it bridges the gap in our knowledge regarding how these specific spices, cultivated for centuries in the mountainous Sino-Vietnamese uplands, become everyday ingredients in Global North food, cosmetics, and medicines. Links to online resources, including story maps, provide further insights and visual highlights.

Book SynopsisWhen it comes to sustainability and circularity, wood as a natural raw material has several advantages over other building materials. As a bio-based resource, it has considerable benefits concerning greenhouse gas emissions, carbon-storing, thermal insulation as well as human health and well-being compared to other construction materials. New types of wood products, being the result of extensive research, enable the extensive use of wood in tall buildings. At the same time, innovative wood products provide less manufacturing waste, low carbon-emission alternatives and store massive quantities of carbon while new technologies speed construction processes, promote energy efficiency and minimize waste. This study examines the benefits of wood asa construction material and discusses practices applied in the wood construction sector from the perspective of circularity,sustainability and climate change mitigation. It analyses how circularity concepts can be applied in the construction industry using different construction methods and at different stages of value chains. The study describes how different construction techniques and practices contribute to the renewal and sustainability of construction value chains. The analysis is supported by examples of good practice in UNECE member States
