Abstract:
This article aimed to estimate the loss of water associated with food loss and waste in Brazil in 2013. Data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN) on food balance and waste, as well as the Water Footprint (WF) of agricultural products available at Water Footprint Network (WFN) were used. Results show that food waste reaches 49 million metric tons per year, compromising a total of 87 billion cubic meters of water, which is higher than the average annual flow of the river São Francisco. Major water loss is associated with the agricultural production stage (32%), followed by consumption (19%). Amongst food groups, major water loss is associated with meat (49%), followed by cereals (19%). Roughly 96% of water loss is attributed to the green water component, which highlights that attention must be paid to rainfed agriculture to ensure food and water for everyone. The loss of blue water was more than half of the volume consumed in the urban sector, and the grey component (polluted water) was equivalent to 80% of this consumption. Measures such as improving agricultural practices, logistics, irrigation, expanding and improving rainfed agriculture, developing campaigns and policies to reduce exportation of primary products, as well as consumption of products from animal origin, can contribute to managing the food supply chain more sustainably when the focus is water. Reducing food loss and waste means preserving water.

Abstract:
There are several reasons why the measurement of ammonia emissions is important in agriculture. The emission of ammonia from stored and land-applied manure to the atmosphere can result in a significant loss of nitrogen for crop production. It is necessary to quantify this loss to evaluate manure handling practices for maintaining the nutritive value of the manure. Minimizing the emissions of ammonia from manure also reduces agriculture's impact on the environment. A high atmospheric concentration of ammonia can result in acidification of land and water surfaces, cause plant damage and reduce plant biodiversity in natural systems. Ammonia emissions from manure coincide with odors, which are a nuisance in areas of intensive livestock operations. Reducing ammonia emissions by altering manure management will also reduce odor problems. The purpose of this paper is to review agricultural sources of ammonia and describe techniques used in determining the loss of ammonia from manure-amended soils. Micrometeorological techniques are used to estimate field scale emissions whereas, for small plots where treatment (effects) is used, chambers and mass balance techniques are more suitable methods. A simple method is described, which, when combined with a denuder sampler mounted on a wind vane, permits flexibility in experimental design and requires fewer ammonia samples than the traditional mass balance approach. A chamber method making use of diffusion samplers that can measure the ammonia concentration in the air at the soil surface is also described. Key words: Ammonia, nitrogen loss, agriculture, manure, micrometeorology, chamber

Abstract:
Nitrogen (N) in the agricultural production system influences many aspects of agroecosystems and several critical ecosystem services widely depend on the N availability in the soil. Cumulative changes in regional ecosystem services may lead to global environmental changes. Thus, the soil N status in agriculture is of critical importance to strategize its most efficient use. Nitrogen is also one of the most susceptible macronutrients to environmental loss, such as ammonia volatilization (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, nitrate leaching (NO3), etc. Any form of N losses from agricultural systems can be major limitations for crop production, soil sustainability, and environmental safeguard. There is a need to focus on mitigation strategies to minimize global N pollution and implement agricultural management practices that encourage regenerative and sustainable agriculture. In this review, we identified the avenues of N loss into the environment caused by current agronomic practices and discussed the potential practices that can be adapted to prevent this N loss in production agriculture. This review also explored the N status in agriculture during the COVID-19 pandemic and the existing knowledge gaps and questions that need to be addressed.

Abstract:
Geo-information science has attempted to estimate the actual soil loss and its correlative interpretation with land use and cover types in an agricultural land, Sambhunath Municipality. Among several empirical and physically based soil erosion models, Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) are widely used and employed to estimate soil loss based on rainfall, topographic contour, and soil map. The soil erosion ranges values are found from 0 to 2635 t ha-1 yr-1 in terms of soil loss per year in the municipality. Soil erosion rates are found highly correlated with the increasing exposure of land surface in Chure range mostly on forest area. Agriculture lands spatially concentrated in 51.70% of the Municipality extent, is contributing significantly as of 16293 t ha-1 yr-1 of the total potential soil loss from fertile cropland. Based on severity of soil loss, cultivation agriculture areas are priority for reducing soil loss for optimum agriculture management practices in land use planning.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of circular agriculture in China, balancing agricultural income and environmental impact by adjusting the structure and scale of circular agriculture is becoming increasingly important. Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas and income earned from agriculture drives sustainable agricultural development. This paper built a multi-objective linear programming model based on greenhouse gas emission and agricultural product income and then optimized the structure and scale of circular agriculture using Beiqiu Farm as a case study. Results showed that greenhouse gas emission was mainly from manure management in livestock industry. While the agriculture income increased by 64% after optimization, GHG emission increased by only 12.3%. The optimization made full use of straw, manure and fodder, but also minimized soil nitrogen loss. The results laid a generalized guide for adjusting the structure and scale of the planting and raising industry. Measures for optimizing the management of manure were critical in achieving low agricultural carbon emissions in future agricultural development efforts.

Abstract:
AbstractHurricanes act as large external shocks potentially causing considerable damage to agriculture in the Caribbean. While a number of studies have estimated their historic economic impact, arguably the wider community and policy makers are more concerned about their future risk and potential losses, since this type of information is useful for disaster preparedness and mitigation strategy and policy. This paper implements a new approach to undertaking a quantitative wind risk and loss assessment of agriculture in Caribbean island economies. The authors construct an expected loss function that uses synthetically generated, and historical, hurricane tracks within a wind field model that takes cropland exposure derived from satellite data into consideration. The results indicate that expected wind losses are potentially large but vary considerably across the region, where the smaller islands are considerably more likely to be negatively impacted. Moreover, we find that the structure of the agricultural sector can be important in terms of vulnerability.

Abstract:
Agriculture is one of the important and complex sectors, it is not only a simple economic sector but also a biological - technical system. Because the basis for agricultural development is the use of bio-energy - plants and animals. Agricultural sector, if understood in a narrow sense, is only the cultivation, husbandry and service sectors. As for agriculture, in broad terms it also includes forestry and fishery. Agriculture provides food and food for social needs, agriculture is the basic material production industry, plays a major role in economic development in most of the country, especially in developing countries. At present, Vietnam’s agriculture has great potential and can be enriched from agriculture. However, wastage and loss in agriculture are still high in the stages of processing, harvesting and preserving. Mechanization is still low, lower than Thailand, so agricultural labor productivity is not high. Over the past years, Vietnam’s Agriculture has achieved important developments, contributing to the development of Vietnam’s economy. However, to achieve higher goals in the next 10 years, Vietnam’s agriculture needs to promote its strengths, such as: Well implementing land policies in agriculture; training high quality human resources; building a credible agriculture, which is clean, safe, quality agriculture and organic agriculture; protect natural environment, such as: land, climate, weather, hydrology, etc. In order to ensure sustainable agricultural development.

Abstract:
The error associated with the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was determined by utilizing data from 21 U.S. sites representing 1704 years of measurements from 206 plots. RUSLE estimates were compared to the measured values for each year and the average value for each plot duration. The model efficiency coefficient on an annual basis was (.58) and on an average annual basis was (.73). The RUSLE was consistent with a previous study of the USLE which tended to over predict on plots with low erosion rates and under predict on plots with high erosion rates. Also the Topographic Factor (LS) value and the Cover and Management Factor (C) value had the most influence on model efficiency. The basis for this study was to compare the RUSLE with the USLE and to compare RUSLE simulations with observed data that was not a part of its critical development.

Full text
Abstract:
Biofortified orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP) is being promoted to tackle vitamin A deficiency, a serious public health problem affecting children and pregnant/lactating women in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of the study was to quantify and understand the factors influencing carotenoid losses in dried OFSP. Losses were determined in chips after drying and storage. A preliminary study demonstrated that carotenoid levels were not significantly different following either solar or sun drying. Carotenoid loss after drying was generally correlated with high initial moisture content and high carotenoid content in fresh sweetpotato roots. Losses of pro-vitamin A were less than 35% in all cases. Flour made from OFSP could therefore be a significant source of provitamin A. In contrast, storage of chips at room temperature in Uganda and Mozambique for four months resulted in high losses of pro-vitamin A (ca. 70-80% loss from the initial dried product). Low-cost pre-treatments, such as blanching, antioxidants and salting, did not reduce carotenoid losses during storage. Enzymatic catabolism of b-carotene in dried OFSP was considered unlikely because of low peroxidase activities at low water activities and the loss of peroxidase activity during storage. To understand further the factors causing the losses, dried sweet potato chips were stored under controlled conditions of temperature (10; 20; 30; or 40ºC), water activity (0.13; 0.30; 0.51; 0.76) or oxygen (0 [under nitrogen]; 2.5; 10 or 21% [air]). Oxygen was the main cause of degradation followed by temperature. An Arrhenius kinetic model was used to show that carotenoid breakdown followed first order kinetics with an activation energy of 68.3kJ.mol-1 that was in accordance with the literature. Experimental observations fitted well with data predicted by the kinetic model. The formation of the volatile compounds,b-ionone; 5,6-epoxy-b-ionone; dihydroactinidiolide; b-cyclocitral that were clearly related to the degradation of b-carotene, helped further understand breakdown patterns of b-carotene.

The deficiency in the management of agricultural areas causes problems of economic and environmental order. Many times the terraces dimensioning methods have results with reduced horizontal spacing, discouraged their adoption and causing erosion problems, and consequently loss of soil, water and nutrients. The soil loss calculation models can be used for the design of these structures, considering the displacement of soil lower than its natural formation rate, controlling the erosive process. However, the use of these models is hampered by the lack of data bases and tools that simplify their use. Concomitantly conservation planning can be integrated into agronomic management, enabling the optimization of the use of agricultural land and of the equipments, conciliating the economic and environmental aspects. In this sense the present study aimed to evaluate the cartographic quality of  altimetric surveys carried with GNSS RTK receiver onboard in quadricycle; develop a terrace in level spacing calculation method, using the soil loss calculated by USLE; a model of dimensioning agricultural systems, involving the use of terraces as rural roads, plots division, and generation and planting lines; analyze the accumulation of runoff on sugar cane lines for different furrow depths and the spatial variability of relief; and finally, develop a computational tool using the method and model. The altimetric data collected with quadricycle met the Class A pattern of cartographic accuracy, for the preparation of cartographic products with vertical equidistance of 0.30m. The terrace spacing calculation method reduced by up to 83.0% the total length of terraces; the agricultural systems dimensioning model enabled a reduction of up to 51.6% in the number of operations as well as increasing the average length of the lines and reducing the area for the use of rural roads, which increases the efficiency in the machinery use and in the use of agricultural area. The evaluation of the runoff volume accumulation in the planting lines due to the furrow depth found large storage capacity, reaching values of up to 158.1 m³ ha -1 , averaging 95.8 m³ ha -1 to furrows with 0.3m depth, resulting in a reduction of up to 10.1centimeters at the height of the terraces. The developed computational tool proved to be easy to use, and successfully completed the design of the plots, planting rows and terraces.
A deficiência na gestão das áreas agrícolas acarreta problemas de ordem econômica e ambiental. Muitas vezes os métodos de dimensionamento de terraços têm resultados com espaçamento horizontal reduzido, desestimulando sua adoção e ocasionando problemas de erosão, e consequente perda de solo, água e nutrientes. Os modelos de cálculo de perda de solo podem ser utilizados para dimensionamento destas estruturas, considerando o deslocamento de solo inferior à sua taxa de formação natural, controlando o processo erosivo. Entretanto o uso destes modelos é dificultado pela ausência de bases de dados e de ferramentas que simplifiquem sua utilização. Concomitantemente o planejamento conservacionista pode ser integrado à gestão agronômica, possibilitando a otimização do uso da área agrícola e dos equipamentos, conciliando os aspectos econômicos e ambientais. Neste sentido o presente trabalho teve por objetivos avaliar a qualidade cartográfica de levantamentos altimétricos realizados com receptor GNSS RTK embarcado em quadriciclo; desenvolver um método de cálculo de espaçamento entre terraços em nível a partir da perda de solo calculada pela USLE; um modelo de dimensionamento de sistemas agrícolas, envolvendo a utilização dos terraços como carreadores, divisão de talhões, e geração de linhas de plantio; analisar o acúmulo de escoamento superficial nas linhas de cana de açúcar em função de diferentes profundidades de sulco e da variabilidade espacial do relevo; e finalmente, desenvolver de uma ferramenta computacional para utilização do método e modelo. Os dados altimétricos coletados com quadriciclo atenderam ao padrão de exatidão cartográfico atingindo a classe A para elaboração de produtos cartográficos com equidistância vertical de 0,30m. O método de cálculo de espaçamento entre terraços reduziu em até 83,0% o comprimento total de terraços; o modelo de dimensionamento de sistemas agrícolas possibilitou redução de até 51,6 % no número de manobras, bem como aumento do comprimento médio das linhas de plantio e redução da área destinada ao uso de carreadores, o que aumenta a eficiência de máquinas e do uso da área agrícola. A avaliação do acúmulo do volume de escoamento superficial nas linhas de plantio em função da profundidade do sulco verificou grande capacidade de armazenamento, atingindo valores de até 158,1 m³ ha -1 , com média de 95,8 m³ ha -1 para sulcos com 0,3m de profundidade, ocasionando em uma redução de até 10,1 centímetros na altura dos terraços. A ferramenta computacional desenvolvida mostrou-se de fácil utilização, e realizou com sucesso o dimensionamento dos talhões, linhas de plantio e terraços.

Abstract:
Soil loss in eastern Ontario is of great concern. The objective of this study is to map soil loss risk in Eastern Ontario for 2001. The universal soil loss equation (LISLE), the universal soil loss equation 2 dimensions (USLE2D), and the unit stream power erosion deposition (LISPED) models are applied within a Geographic Information System (GIS) to calculate soil loss within agricultural fields. Hourly precipitation, soil survey, digital elevation, field boundary, and satellite imagery data are main inputs used to generate model parameters at non-depositional areas. These datasets are integrated to compute mean annual and monthly soil loss at multiple scales. For precision agriculture purposes, results are given as a number of high precision, high accuracy soil loss grids and associated summary tables under a variety of farming practices and erosion processes. Results indicate that: (1) soil loss is occurring at intolerable levels (>6 t ha-1 yr -1) in the region, particularly in the southeastern study region, (2) slope steepness followed by the cropping and management factor affect soil loss to the greatest extent, and (3) under no tillage systems, a considerable amount of soil is lost at intolerable levels in high slope areas.

Abstract:
Agriculture is one of the major economic drivers and the production is highly dependable on the climatic conditions and very sensitive to the natural hazards like the flood. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) of United States developed Hazard-US model (HAZUS), a tool to estimate the loss to several sectors due to natural hazards like floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The study assesses the influence of input model parameters for HAZUS flood loss to crops. This thesis analyzes different combinations of input parameters for the Middle Cedar River Watershed in Iowa. The parameters have been modified based on the cropping pattern of the study region and the pricing trends. The results include the computation of the loss distribution and the determination of the most influential parameters. The study has found that some parameters are more influential in the loss estimation. The influence of parameters for the average annual loss (AAL) calculation is similar. Floods at the end of the cropping season are much more severe than floods at the beginning of the cropping season. Corns are more at risk than soybean because of the longer cropping season. Some counties experience more loss than others based on AAL. The results indicate that the agricultural sector is more vulnerable to floods at the end of the cropping season. The estimation of loss can help emergency planning for floods affecting agriculture, and optimize the agricultural resource management. The inclusion of additional parameters like flood velocity and water quality in the model can increase the accuracy of the estimation.

Abstract:
The expansion of agriculture throughout the world has precipitated serious biodiversity losses. Countries with relatively extensive natural habitats, such as Canada, continue to intensify agricultural land uses, threatening to expand the scope of the present mass extinction. This thesis tests likely mechanisms of butterfly species decline in agricultural landscapes of varying intensities in the most biologically diverse region of Canada. I measured site variables such as the richness of plants suitable for larval development, patch area and shape index, and landscape variables such as heterogeneity and land-cover within buffers that varied in size from 100m to 1000m. Several rare species were not present in the agricultural sites, whereas a few species typically associated with disturbed habitat were present and abundant among most study sites. I found that agricultural intensification acts across landscapes to reduce butterfly species richness by reducing the proportion of natural habitat available. This effect was especially pronounced at 100m to 200m distances, suggesting a threshold effect beyond which the proportion of natural land is less critical to butterfly biodiversity. Within-site factors, such as plant species richness and habitat area were not affected by agricultural intensity, nor did they affect butterfly species richness and abundance. These results suggest that the mechanism linking butterfly species decline to agriculture, at least for butterflies in this region, is the loss of small habitat remnants.

Abstract:
The selection of sites for biodiversity conservation is best done if it anticipates future challenges and efficiently accomplishes targets, given limited funding for such efforts. The first chapter of this thesis discusses how conservation practitioners might manage and enhance long-term survival for species whose ranges must shift as climate changes, across regions that present significant mobility barriers. I describe recommendations highlighting connectivity, refugia from climate change, adaptation, and restoration within agricultural landscapes in North America, but these recommendations are transferable elsewhere. The second chapter examines patterns of change in agricultural intensity and land price within Canada’s species-rich farmland between 1986 and 2011, and creates sequential cost-efficient plans to conserve resident species-at-risk within that time period, to determine how environmental and cost changes erode the efficiency of conservation plans. While sites initially selected as cost-efficient remained so through time, total plan costs increased, decreasing each plan’s ability to represent all species for a given budget. This emphasizes the urgent need for conservation within Canada’s farmland.

Full text
Abstract:
Unintentional nitrogen (N) loss from agroecosystems produces greenhouse gases, induces eutrophication, and is costly for farmers; therefore, adoption of conservation agricultural management practices, such as no-till and cover cropping, has increased. This study assessed N loss via leaching, NH3 volatilization, N2O emissions, and N retention in plant and soil pools of corn conservation agroecosystems across a year. Three systems were evaluated: 1) an unfertilized organic system with cover crops Vicia villosa, Triticum aestivum, or a mix of the two; 2) an organic system with a Vicia cover crop employing three fertilization schemes (0 N, organic N, or a cover crop N-credit approach); 3) a conventional system with a Triticum cover crop and three fertilization techniques (0 N, urea N, or organic N). During cover crop growth, species affected N leaching but gaseous emissions were low across all treatments. During corn growth, cover crop and fertilizer approach affected N loss. Fertilized treatments had greater N loss than unfertilized treatments, and fertilizer type affected gaseous fluxes temporally and in magnitude. Overall, increased N availability did not always indicate greater N loss or yield, suggesting that N conserving management techniques can be employed in conservation agriculture systems without sacrificing yield.

Abstract:
AbstractAgricultural lands make up approximately 37% of the global land surface, and agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). Those GHGs are responsible for the majority of the anthropogenic global warming effect. Agricultural GHG emissions are associated with agricultural soil management (e.g. tillage), use of both synthetic and organic fertilisers, livestock management, burning of fossil fuel for agricultural operations, and burning of agricultural residues and land use change. When natural ecosystems such as grasslands are converted to agricultural production, 20–40% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) is lost over time, following cultivation. We thus need to develop management practices that can maintain or even increase SOCstorage in and reduce GHG emissions from agricultural ecosystems. We need to design systematic approaches and agricultural strategies that can ensure sustainable food production under predicted climate change scenarios, approaches that are being called climate‐smart agriculture (CSA). Climate‐smart agricultural management practices, including conservation tillage, use of cover crops and biochar application to agricultural fields, and strategic application of synthetic and organic fertilisers have been considered a way to reduce GHG emission from agriculture. Agricultural management practices can be improved to decreasing disturbance to the soil by decreasing the frequency and extent of cultivation as a way to minimise soil C loss and/or to increase soil C storage. Fertiliser nitrogen (N) use efficiency can be improved to reduce fertilizer N application and N loss. Management measures can also be taken to minimise agricultural biomass burning. This chapter reviews the current literature on CSA practices that are available to reduce GHG emissions and increase soil Csequestration and develops a guideline on best management practices to reduce GHG emissions, increase C sequestration, and enhance crop productivity in agricultural production systems.

Abstract:
Managing income risk in agriculture is one of the important issues for farmers and policy makers nowadays. There exist a set of instruments and mechanisms for farmers to face the income volatility, including the individual or public support. Under II Pillar, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) offers the support for less favoured farms in the way of insurance, mutual fund, and Income stabilisation tool. The Income Stabilisation Tool (IST) represents the compensation to farmers for a “severe drop” in income, if the farm experienced an income loss of more than 30% compared to the 3-years average or the Olympic average of the preceding five-year income realizations. However, none of the EU countries has been currently using the tool operationally. The main objective of the paper is to investigate the potential effect of the Income Stabilisation Tool on mitigation of income risk in Slovak agriculture. The results of the paper show the existing possibility to improve financial situation and reduce the income inequality of particular Slovak farms in the future.

Abstract:
Agriculture is one of the most important types of economic activity for the Ukrainian economy, since together with other related economic activities it forms more than half of Ukraine’s GDP and the share of agriculture in the production of goods and services tends to increase. In such conditions, an important and urgent task is a retrospective study of the architectonics of financing of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine, the factors influencing it and the substantiation of the prospects for its optimization. The aim of the study is the empirical assessment of the formation of architectonics of financing of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine under the influence of macroeconomic factors and industry factors. For the empirical assessment of the architectonics of financing of agricultural enterprises of Ukraine, a system of absolute and relative indicators, regression and correlation analysis were applied. An empirical assessment of the financial support of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine in the context of agricultural development allowed to distinguish three periods: 2010-2013 – an increase of financial resources of agricultural enterprises in Ukraine subject to excess of equity, ensuring of financial stability of enterprises; 2014-2015 – reduction of financial resources of agricultural enterprises subject to excess borrowed funds, partial loss of financial stability of enterprises; 2016-2018 – an increase of financial resources of agricultural enterprises in the direction of restoring the potential of financial stability and a deterioration in the payment discipline of the resources of agricultural enterprises.

Abstract:
The corona virus pandemic has imperilled tourist destinations around the world, completely disrupting all types of traffic and border traffic. The global corona virus pandemic has brought with it major changes in trade, industry, agriculture and transportation. The negative effect of the pandemic on agriculture is reflected in the loss of the market. Tourism and catering are affected first, as arrangements are canceled and people go out to restaurants less. The next important branch that got affected is industry due to supply chain disruption. Economic activity has pretty much stalled in many sectors, and yet agriculture and food production are mentioned as saviors of national economies. The maxim is known as "there is no stable state without a consistent agrarian policy and a developed agricultural sector". Tourism is an important activity that is seriously counted on in the municipality of Kučevo. The festival of original folk art "Homoljski motivi" is organized in the municipality, moreover, at the territory of the municipality we can find the gold-bearing river Pek and the attractive caves Ceremošnja and Ravništarka. They are tourist content by which the municipality of Kučevo has long been recognizable. The absence of tourist activity on the territory of the municipality of Kučevo affected the reduction of the tourist offer, such as the preparation of traditional food using local products, which all has a negative impact on agricultural production, primarily livestock products.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to obtain a quick and low-cost method for measuring the volume of tomatoes for small farmers, which have limited access to new technology. This measurement will help in grading, packaging size, and transportation costs. Weight loss of the tomatoes relates to their shelf life, which is between 5-7%; within this range, the tomatoes are still edible. This research attempted to find a relationship based on the volume of tomatoes in an elliptical spheroid using the water displacement method. The samples included 15 tomatoes chosen randomly and weighed, and then the height and width were measured. Tomatoes weight in water and water high with tomatoes were measured and then the different calculated, which represented the volume. The results illustrated that the linear regression model explained 80% of the data. The tomato shapes may help in the weight loss and firmness of tomatoes during storage for further studies.

Abstract:
Occupational noise, hand-arm and whole-body vibration are the main human health risk factors in various economic activity sectors including agriculture. Workers of agricultural sector are usually under increased risk as their exposure to these risk factors is usually longer than reference 8 hours. Moreover, most agricultural activities are related with the processes which include multiple equipment and machinery therefore noise and vibration exposure analysis is a complex issue which is usually undeservedly simplified. This problem can be emphasized by statistical data provided by State Labour Inspectorate of the Republic of Lithuania. Occupational diseases registered for farmers, agricultural and forestry workers consist 16 % of all those registered in Lithuania. Four of five occupational diseases registered in Lithuania are related to vibration and noise (musculoskeletal (66 %) and hearing loss (13 %) and has the increasing tendency over the last years. These tendencies demand a deeper analysis of noise and vibration exposure of farmers and farm workers as obtained results could help to specify the strategy or procedure to reduce negative exposure effects. The results reveal that noise exposure level usually exceed exposure action value of 80 dBA while hand-arm and whole-body vibration exposure limit value of 1.15 and 5 m/s2 respectively.

Abstract:
Biodiversity conservation is one of the key global challenges. The interaction between biodiversity and agriculture is varied and often - negative. High Nature Value farming is the exception with positive synergy, and the CAP prioritizes its support. The Bulgarian agri-environmental measure has targeted support schemes for High Nature Value farmlands since 2006. In 2020, the European Commission indicated that Bulgaria is among the member states with the highest loss of these type of farmlands in the EU. The main aim of the paper is to examine the extent to which the programming of the new CAP in Bulgaria addresses the risk of continued loss of High Nature Value farmlands and includes adequate support measures and schemes. Recommendations for the improvement of the CAP Strategic plan in Bulgaria are also developed.

Abstract:
Federal crop insurance provides a financial safety net for farmers against insured perils such as drought, heat, and freeze. In 2016 over $100 billion dollars of crops were insured through the Federal crop insurance program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency. In this white paper, we analyze publicly-available Federal crop insurance data to understand how weather and climate-related perils, or causes of loss (COL), change over time and spatial areas. We find that over 75% of all weather/climate-related indemnities (i.e., crop losses) from 2001 to 2016 are due to three COL: drought, excess moisture, and hail. However, the extent to which these top COL and others impact indemnities is highly dependent on the time period, temporal scale, and spatial scale of analysis. Moreover, we identify what COL are region- or season-specific, and visualize COL trends over time. Finally, we offer a road map of research applications to quantify such trends in indemnities, as well as outreach and extension efforts that include an online data portal.

Abstract:
Las prácticas agrícolas sostenibles permiten un uso más eficiente de los recursos naturales, mitigan el impacto de la agricultura en el medio ambiente y fortalecen la capacidad de adaptación al cambio climático y la variabilidad climática. Debido a que estas prácticas generalmente requieren un esfuerzo sustancial o la asignación de recursos por parte de los agricultores, se necesitan incentivos para apoyar la adopción por parte de los agricultores. A pesar del creciente interés, ha habido poca evaluación sistemática de los incentivos-adopción-cadena de resultados, es decir, qué incentivos promueven mejor la adopción y cuáles conducen a los resultados de sostenibilidad deseados. Este informe presenta los resultados de una revisión de la literatura que examinó (1) la adopción de prácticas agrícolas bajo tres tipos de incentivos, de mercado y no de mercado, regulatorias y las transferecias condicionadas, y (2) el impacto en la productividad, la rentabilidad y la sostenibilidad ambiental. Con base en esta revisión, ofrece un conjunto de siete principios probados a seguir en el diseño e implementación de incentivos para la agricultura sostenible.

Para esto, se recolectó información de la misma muestra analizada para los meses de Febrero a Mayo pero esta vez para el período comprendido entre Agosto y Noviembre del 2020. Específicamente, esta Fase 2 del análisis busca identificar los problemas que han persistido o se han acentuado en la agricultura familiar de ALC a causa de la pandemia, así como medir el nivel de inseguridad alimentaria de los pequeños productores. Los resultados de este estudio muestran que la mayoría de los agricultores familiares se encuentran en una situación de inseguridad alimentaria y que varios de los problemas encontrados en la Fase 1 de la encuesta persisten 6 meses después del inicio de la pandemia. Específicamente, la continua exposición a la crisis parece haber incrementado los efectos negativos sobre la producción agropecuaria y los ingresos de los hogares rurales.

Abstract:
Available data provide a picture for the macro-economy of Colombia, agriculture, and infrastructure. Recent data on trends on public procurement were difficult to find within the scope of this rapid review. In 2020, macro-level employment figures show a large drop between February and April when COVID-19 lockdown measures were first introduced, followed by a gradual upward trend. In December 2020, the employment rate was 4.09 percentage points lower than the employment rate in December 2019. Macro-level figures from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) show that a higher percentage of men experienced job losses than women in November 2020. However, the evidence presented by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia based on the DANE great integrated house survey shows that a higher proportion of all jobs lost were lost by women in the second quarter. It may be that the imbalance shifted over time, but it is not possible to directly compare the data. Evidence suggests that women were disproportionately more burdened by home activities due to the closure of schools and childcare. There is also a suggestion that women who have lost out where jobs able to function during lockdowns with technology are more likely to be held by men. Literature also shows that women have lower levels of technology literacy. There is a lack of reliable data for understanding the economic impacts of COVID-19 for people living with disabilities. A report on the COVID-19 response and disability for the Latin America region recommends improving collaboration between policymakers and non-governmental organisations. Younger people experienced greater job losses. Data for November 2020 show 3.3 percent of the population aged under 25 lost their job compared to 1.8 percent of those employed between 24 and 54. Agriculture, livestock, and fishing increased by 2.8% in 2020 compared to 2019. And the sector as a whole grew 3.4% between the third and fourth quarters of 2020. In terms of sector differences, construction was harder hit by the initial mobility restrictions than agriculture. Construction contracted by 30.5% in the second quarter of 2020. It is making a relatively healthy recovery with reports that 84% of projects being reactivated following return to work. The President of the Colombian Chamber of Construction predicting an 8.4% growth in the construction of housing and other buildings in 2021.
