Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However,
the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations
on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the
literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as endorsement or disapproval.

Abstract: This book is designed for use by policy makers,
researchers, educators, and organization leaders. The chapters are
divided into five major parts. The first part dealing with the
National and International Economic environment, states that the
current condi tions of the US agriculture and food policy are quite
different from earlier ones. It also deals with the world food
production and trade environment. The
economic problems and possibilities of the rural sector, in farm
and rural nonfarm families have been examined in the next chapter.
Strategies for rural development and farm enterprise options are
explored. In part III the budgetary implications for agriculture
and food policy are presented. Part IV
describes an emerging priority agenda for agricultural and
food policy makers that includes the effects of farming
practices, sustainable or low input agricultural systems on water
quality, and consumer concerns about food quality. The last chapter
focuses on research findings and implications of both qualitative
and quantitative studies of farm commodity, trade and food issues
of existing policy.

Abstract: Cultivar differences, seasonal variations, and
farming practices on the carotenoid composition of a leafy
vegetable (kale) were studied. Although the samples were taken from
commercial farms, sampling was planned so that the effect of each
factor could be assessed. The carotenoids and the
vitamin A value were significantly higher in the cultivar
Tronchuda in the summer; the same tendency was observed in the
winter, but the differences were not statistically
significant. The beta-carotene, lutein-violaxanthin, and total
carotenoid levels, as well as the vitamin A value, were
significantly higher in the winter than in the summer for cv.
Manteiga kale. On the other hand, the neoxanthin content was
significantly higher in the summer for the Tronchuda cultivar. All
the constituent carotenoids were significantly higher in the
samples from the "natural" farm as compared to those from the farm
that used agrochemicals.

Abstract: Analysts have described conflict between the
economically dominant industrial sector of society and the
environmental movement as representing competition between two
opposing worldviews or social paradigms. There appears to be a
similar schism developing in agriculture. The conventional
paradigm of large-scale, highly industrialized agriculture is being
challenged by an increasingly vocal alternative
agriculture movement which advocates major shifts toward a
more "ecologically sustainable agriculture." Some have
suggested that alternative agriculture represents a
fundamentally new paradigm for agriculture. This paper seeks to
clarify and synthesize the core beliefs and values
underlying these two approaches to agriculture into a
"conventional agriculture paradigm" and an "alternative
agriculture paradigm." The writings of six major proponents of
alternative agriculture are compared with those of six leading
proponents of conventional agriculture to document the major
components of the two agricultural paradigms. The two sets of
writings reveal dramatically divergent perspectives on a wide range
of agricultural issues. The competing paradigms can be synthesized
into six major dimensions: 1) centralization vs. decentralization,
2) dependence vs. independence, 3)
competition vs. community, 4) domination of nature vs. harmony with
nature, 5) specialization vs. diversity, and 6)
exploitation vs. restraint. The emerging controversy over
"low-input, sustainable agriculture" (LISA) illustrates the
paradigmatic gulf between alternative and conventional
agriculture, as well as the pitfalls facing alternative
agriculturalists as they attempt to replace conventional
agriculture as the dominant paradigm.

International trade; Consumer preferences; Environmental
impact; Research support
Abstract: Poultry is one of the world's major and fastest
growing sources of meat, representing over 22% of all meat
production in 1989. Because of their high nutrient content and
relatively low caloric value, egg and poultry products are
natural candidates to meet emerging consumer demands. The
United States poultry industry must continue to meet the
challenge of designing foods that meet consumers' definition of
what is safe and what is healthy. Any agricultural
production system should stand the test of scientific
scrutiny, economic analysis, and social acceptance and impact. The
agricultural science sector should develop best management
practices that continue to provide profitability and
sustainability for producers. The poultry industry in the
United States and many other countries has progressed probably more
than any other branch of livestock production in the
trend toward intensive production systems. Voluntary codes of
practice adhered to by producers of farm animals is an
effective option that can be employed to help solve concerns about
animal welfare. The poultry industry of the future will need to
meet steadily consumer demand for wholesome meat,
while addressing issues of health and safety waste management, and
water and air pollution.

Abstract: A linear programming model was used to determine which
crop rotations and weed management systems result in the highest
net farm income for each of three farm sizes (120,
240, and 480 hectares) under alternative tillage systems. Test plot
data for the years 1981 through 1988 from the Purdue
University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive, well-drained
soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems on
all farms in the model were consistently and
significantly lower than incomes for moldboard and chisel plow
tillage systems due to slightly lower yields and substantially
higher herbicide costs. Generally, net farm incomes were
slightly higher with a moldboard plow versus chisel plow
tillage system. Also, as farm size increased, per hectare net
incomes increased. About 80% of the time under moldboard or chisel
plow tillage systems, the model chose as optimal the lowest of
three herbicide application rates. A corn/soybean rotation was
chosen as optimal on 56% of the farm area
analyzed, versus 25% for continuous corn and 13% for a
corn/soybean/wheat rotation.

Abstract: The Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research (ACIAR) has funded a 4-year project to
develop sustainable food crop production systems on acid, low
fertility soils. Field trials were commenced in mid-1986 at four
sites in Malaysia to evaluate crop responses to
amelioration of acidity in three Ultisols and one Oxisol, and to
relate these responses to both solid and solution phase
soil chemistry. Ground magnesium limestone (GML) (21% Ca, 12% Mg)
was applied at rates up to 8 t per ha-1. The UPM trials involved
rotation cropping of groundnut and sweet corn, with two crops per
year. The RRIM trials involved these two crops and grain corn,
intercropped with young rubber trees for 2 to 3 years before canopy
closure. Liming gave strong responses in crop yield. Initial
applications of 4 and 8 t per ha-1 were effective after 3 years in
the UPM trials. Yield responses of all crops occurred up to the
maximal rate of 2 t per ha-1 in the RRIM trials. Rubber tree growth
benefitted from the
intercropping and earlier commercial tapping has occurred.
Application of GML to groundnut and sweet corn was
economically viable, while earlier rubber tapping has further
economic benefits.

Models; Farmers' attitudes
Abstract: Current debates and conflicts in agriculture appear to
reflect the competing perspectives of two increasingly
distinct camps of agricultural stakeholders: proponents of
"alternative agriculture" and proponents of "conventional
agriculture." Several analysts have argued that members of
these two camps hold fundamentally divergent paradigms of
agriculture, and thus, literally see the world quite
differently. The purpose of this paper is to describe an
instrument-the Alternative-conventional Agriculture Paradigm Scale
(or ACAP Scale)-developed to measure the basic beliefs and values
assumed to constitute the two competing
perspectives in agriculture. Items designed to tap all of the major
dimensions identified in the alternative-conventional agriculture
debate were included in surveys of known groups of alternative and
conventional agriculturalists, as well as in a statewide survey of
farmers. The items discriminate
significantly between the three samples (with the statewide farmer
sample taking the intermediate position), suggesting their validity
as measures of the elements of the competing agricultural
paradigms. The items also exhibit a high degree of internal
consistency, indicating the appropriateness of
combining them into a single instrument to measure adherence to
alternative versus conventional agriculture. As expected, the known
groups provide more consistent responses than do the statewide
sample of farmers, presumably reflecting the greater ideological
coherence of social movement and interest group members. However,
the alternative agriculturalists are far
more consistent than are the conventional agriculturalists, and
potential explanations for this finding are drawn from
recent work on social movements.

Abstract: A number of researchers, extension specialists, and
state department of agriculture personnel have initiated
investigations of alternative enterprises in order to evaluate the
economic growth potential they offer an area. To obtain a better
perspective on the number and type of activities under
investigation in various southern states, open-ended
questionnaires were sent to 44 individuals in 14 Southern
states. This article reports on some findings obtained from this
survey. Approximately one-half of the 80 projects
identified by respondents were directed toward horticultural crop
commodity investigations while 19 of the total projects
investigated aquacultural-related activities. Survey results
indicate that horticultural crop alternatives will continue to be
investigated and emphasized by personnel in southern land grant
institutions over the next several years.

Abstract: The growing problem of nonpoint source ground water
contamination from agricultural chemicals is conceptualized as an
historical outcome of the production environment of
capitalist agriculture in the Corn Belt. Chronic
overproduction and ground water contamination reveal different
aspects of the same technological treadmill. The debate over Iowa's
1987 Ground Water Protection Act symbolizes the
contradiction between popular demand for clean water and
structural limits on policymaking. Although the Act does
provide for expanded research, education, and monitoring, a
coalition of commercial farmers, local chemical dealers, and the
national chemical industry defeated a tax on pesticide
use. Analysis of alternate policy responses--Best Management
Practices (BMPs), cross compliance, site-specific regulation of
chemical use, and taxation of synthetic chemicals--reveals that all
tend to founder on the same structural constraints. Without
practical, profitable, low-input technologies that
farmers, over time, would choose to adopt, both voluntary and
regulatory approaches encounter major political or
implementation difficulties. The public agricultural research
agenda, therefore, emerges as a central control variable for ground
water quality management and a central focus for
political struggle.

Abstract: Target-MOTAD was used to assess the risks and
returns of sustainable cotton crop rotations from Auburn
University's 92-year "Old Rotation." Study results analyze
rotations of continuous cotton, with and without winter
legumes; two years of cotton-winter legumes-corn, with and
without nitrogen fertilization; and three years of cotton-
winter legumes-corn and rye-soybeans double-cropped. Ten years of
observations on deviations from target income were used to identify
optimal sustainable rotation(s). Study results
suggest that diversification in rotations, as well as in
crops, results in the least risk for a given level of target
income.

Abstract: For agriculture to be sustainable, it must maintain
productivity and environmental conservation for many
generations. Long-term field studies are essential to the
development of sustainable agricultural systems because they are a
primary source of scientific knowledge about agronomic conditions
during long periods of farming. In addition to
knowledge generated by monitoring fields during the past
century, there is also a need for information on a longer time
scale. Ancient agricultural sites are potential sources of
information about agronomic conditions after centuries to
millennia of use. Although only the end results of farming can be
directly observed at these sites, partial reconstruction of the
agricultural history is possible. Studies in Peru and New Mexico,
in which ancient agricultural soils were evaluated
relative to uncultivated soils, are presented here to
illustrate the potential of ancient agricultural sites to
extend the time perspective of long-term research on soil
tilth, fertility, and conservation. Studies of ancient
agricultural sites can also contribute to ideas about land
stewardship and agricultural sustainability.

sociology; Agricultural sciences; Agrarian reform; Theory;
Projects; Alternative farming
Abstract: As a result of environmental and agrarian activism and
of academic critique, a substantial amount of space is
available now for moving agricultural technoscience onto new
trajectories. A critical rural sociology has played a key role in
pushing forward the deconstructive project that has been
instrumental in creating this space. And rural sociologists can be
active agents in the reconstruction of the alternative science that
must emerge from "actually existing" science and that must be
developed if there is to be a truly alternative agriculture. But to
be effective in this effort we need to
enlarge not only the canon of our colleagues in the natural
sciences, but our own canon as well. This article suggests
that the theoretical resources for such reconstruction are
available in contemporary sociological and feminist
interpretations of science. Material resources for the
reconstruction of a "successor science" are to be found in the
"local knowledge" that is continually produced and reproduced by
farmers and agricultural workers. Articulations and
complementarities between theoretical resources are suggested and
potentially productive research areas are outlined.

Abstract: Reductionist science with its positivistic
philosophical roots and experimental research practices has
generally served agriculture well for around 150 yr.
Technological innovations based on the propositions generated
through this paradigm have played a profound role in the
extraordinary productivity growth that has occurred in
agriculture across the globe. Yet with recognition of its
success in this context is the realization of its inadequacies from
broader perspectives. There is an increasing sense of
unease about degradation of biophysical environments,
distortions of socio-economic environments, and dislocations of
cultural environments too often associated with
agricultural practices. There are calls for a new science and
praxis of complexity to deal with these problematic
relationships between agriculture and the environments in
which it is conducted. Systems thinking and practices are
emerging as useful in this regard. Two schools are apparent within
this broad movement. The first ("hard') approach comes from a
pedigree that includes systems analysis, systems
engineering, cybernetics, and ecosystem biology. Assuming a world
of transforming systems, the "hard" systems scientists in
agriculture seek to design new agro-ecosystems that are at once
productive, stable, equitable, and sustainable. In the "soft"
approach, with its foundation in cognitive science, the systemicity
is transferred from the world to the way of
investigating the world. This new paradigm presents
considerable challenge to conventional methods and
methodologies in research, education, and extension in
contemporary agriculture.

Abstract: During the 1980s there was decentralization of the
concentrated marketing of fresh vegetables in Sweden. Field
production in regions north of the traditional, southernmost
province Scania (Skane) increased. The latter were marketed
alongside imports to the large-scale marketing system with the
flows of goods from south to north. This paper deals with
consumer aspects, the demand side of the market, as a
determinant of the expansion of production to new regions. In this
marketing system, organically grown products play an
increasingly important role. After an analysis of the
development of vegetable consumption during the 1980s, the
results of a study of consumer attitudes are presented. The results
show that one third of a sample of 530 interviewees said that they
sometimes searched for organically grown
products. The motivations for buying were the absence of
'poison', or personal health reasons. More than half of the persons
claimed to be willing to pay more for organically
grown products.
