Journal of agriculture, food systems, and community development 2019 v.8 no.4 pp. 45-60
ISSN:
2152-0801
Subject:
African Americans; agricultural land; ancestry; case studies; extension agents; farmers; sharecropping; teachers; United States
Abstract:
... The oppressive histories of slavery, sharecropping, and discriminatory lending practices contribute to a modern American agricultural landscape where black farmers are underrepresented. While African Americans once made up 14% of the United States’ farmer population, today they only make up 1.4%. Moreover, the American farmer population overall is aging, and currently only 6% of farmers are under ...

This study aims to clarify these links in the Lake Geneva basin by analysing each step of the local plastic life cycle.Two distinct approaches have been compared: (i) a top-down approach based on modelling socio-economic activities, pl ...

Abstract:
... Floodplains are prone to plant invasions, which increase their roughness and decrease their flood conveyance capacity. In recent decades, extremely high floods have occurred in the Tisza River (Hungary) without an increase in discharge. This could be partly explained by land cover changes, as plough fields and pastures have been replaced by forest plantations and invasive plants have become widesp ...

Since blood sampling is costly and stressful for the animals, we evaluated whether milk could be used as an inexpensive and easily collectable matrix for SRLV detection. We therefore compared SRLV detection via two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...

Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic analyses, X-ray diffraction, and equivalent circulating density (ECD) calculations. Compound 1 possesses a 5/6/6/5/5 fused ring system with unique 2-aza ...

Abstract:
... Oxidative stress and impaired insulin secretion is an underlying major risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) is involved in the regulation of reactive oxygen species production, insulin secretion, and lipid metabolism. Based on this we aimed to find an association of UCP2 (G-866A) polymorphism with the risk of T2D in South Indian population.A total o ...
