     Extractions: Colonial Spanish agriculture (1565-1764), British agriculture (1764-1784) and the return of Spanish agriculture after the American Revolution (1784-1821) preceded the American experience, begun in 1821 when Florida was acquired as a territory of the United States. Statehood was achieved in 1845 at a time when a handful of antebellum plantations slowly spread throughout northern and north central Florida, and agriculture, citrus, cattle and naval stores were major economic resources for the new State. Nevertheless, the Seminole Wars, Civil War, Reconstruction took a toll on the State’s development. Agricultural literature for this period is sparse and did not become significant until formal agricultural experimentation began at the State’s land grant colleges. At the turn of the century 90% of the state's population was still rural and Florida's frontier-like character persisted well into the twentieth century. This changed significantly after World War II, which represents a watershed in agriculture and the application of engineering to solve everyday problems. In 1941 the UF Engineering and Industrial Experiment Station was established to assist in the development of Florida's agriculture, home life, and industry. It is this period of early agricultural development up to its modern changes (1820-1945) and the early development of engineered solutions to Florida's needs (1933-1970s) that is documented in these collections. Included are a bibliography, full-text copies of IFAS, FDACS, and EIES publications (not all series have been converted, but will become available over time), and photographs.

111. User Benefits Of Urban Agriculture In Havana, Cuba
     Complete MSc thesis (McGill University, December 2000) examining the benefits of urban agriculture in Havana.  
     http://www.cityfarmer.org/havanaBenefit.html#havanaCUBA
     
     Extractions: The "Abstact" and "Conclusion" are included on this HTML page. The complete thesis (136 pages) is available as a PDF (360K) here. Abstract 5. Conclusion "...It seems that urban agriculture makes sense on ecological, social, and economic grounds virtually everywhere on Earth. Governments should see it as an idea whose time has come" (Rees, 1997). Opportunities for Cuba to develop within the global market may take a toll on the support for urban agriculture in Havana. For example, tourism is very important in this city, and using more urban land to serve that industry is already part of the management plan for land presently used for UA. If the city can have access to foreign food supplies, urban land used for agriculture may be used for hotels and shops for tourists. This is a policy issue where economic valuation can contribute by estimating the welfare impacts of such transitions and make the most socially efficient choice. What would be, for example, the impact of taking one hectare of land in usufruct in Havana and using it for a hotel complex? According to environmental cost-benefit frameworks, the impacts of such a change are economic, social and environmental. It is also an issue directly linked to the concept of sustainability in urban systems.

The Andes mountain range runs along the spine of the country, with the Pacific Ocean lying along the entire western border. It is Chile's unusual shape, proximity to the Pacific Ocean, and its varied terrain that together dictate the country's widely variable climate. Humans have always tried to predict the weather but it wasn't until the 1940's that any formal attempt at forecasting began to take shape. We take weather forecasts for granted these days. But forecasting is a recent technological advance. It was with the rise of computers, radar systems, satellite, and television that weather prediction took-off during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

119. 1995 SAA Paper
     Paper presented by Peter Bogucki at the annual meeting for the Society for American Archaeology, Minneapolis, May 1995.  
     http://www.princeton.edu/~bogucki/saa1995.html
     
     Extractions: Paper presented at the annual meeting for the Society for American Archaeology, Minneapolis, May 1995. Please do not circulate or quote until publication in final form. Agriculture came to central Europe somewhat over 7,000 years ago. In the last century of archaeological research, we have been able to establish the archaeological record of these communities in some detail and have good, but not perfect, control over the chronology. The "how" and "why" of the establishment of agricultural communities in central Europe has been much more elusive. In the millennia that preceded agriculture in this region, postglacial climatic conditions and vegetation had been established, and by the sixth millennium B.C., central Europe enjoyed somewhat wetter and warmer conditions than today, by about 2 degrees centigrade. The forested terrain sheltered modern forest fauna along with bands of postglacial foragers. Within the upland basins, there was one habitat that was of greatest interest to the early farming populations. This was the valleys of the smaller streams which drained patches of the loess. Loess is fertile but dry, and these stream valleys were oases of moistness from runoff from the adjacent watersheds and from upstream. Early farming populations settled in these habitats along the smaller rivers and creeks. In the lowlands of the North European Plain, there was also one very important habitat. This was among the chains and clusters of lakes left in meltwater valleys and dead-ice features that interrupt patches of ground moraine in several parts of the plain. In some respect, these features are analogues of the upland creeks, in that they are moist habitats in the midst of drier areas of fertile soil.
