Search biotechnology Among food animals, only engineered fish are under active consideration by US regulators. Other engineered plants, animals, and microbes are farther down the research pipeline but few are poised for introduction in the near future. To protect human health and the environment from engineered products, we need strong federal oversight and active citizen participation. We urge you to join in our efforts to strengthen US regulation of agricultural biotechnology products. Our current priorities are to: Convince the federal government to establish regulations to protect the food supply and environment from contamination by engineered pharm and industrial crops Persuade the Environmental Protection Agency to conduct rigorous reviews of ecological risks and require strong resistance-management plans before approving crops producing Bt toxins Press the federal government to strengthen oversight of environmental risks of engineered fish Urge the Food and Drug Administration to require safety testing and labeling before biotech foods are allowed on the market.

If you haven't looked at this LIMS software for agricultural, industrial and environmental labs recently, you owe it to yourself to take another look! To upgrade, to buy or to build, that is the question... For many, Y2K was "much ado about nothing," so in retrospect many laboratories are loathe to invest in change to their infrastructure without significant proof that it's a recoverable expense. Assuming that all commercially available LIMS are equally accurate, vendors must convince labs by a general improvement in productivity in the short-term and an overall boost in flexibility and scalability in the long run, that substitution is an economically viable option. That's a fair enough consideration for any potential customer to ask of any LIMS vendor. Desert Oasis addresses the fears some potential users may have of replacing pre-existing known software shortcomings with ALIS by emphasizing the following points: Productivity Similarly powerful to, yet far cheaper than, proprietary SQLs with front ends, this database engine with the ALIS graphic user interface, works very well.

Back to Conservation Programs Our Mission A Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee farm may have a varied landscape that includes a community watershed, forest reserves, streams, and worker housing and schools. The mission of the sustainable agriculture program is to protect ecosystems and the people and wildlife that live within them by developing and implementing best management practices and standards for commodity crops, providing incentives to farmers to meet those standards, and encouraging the marketing industries and consumers to support farmers who are making on-farm improvements toward sustainability. Farmers, companies, cooperatives, and landowners that participate in our programs meet comprehensive, rigorous standards for protecting biodiversity conservation and sustainability by integrating productive agriculture, conservation, workers, and local communities.
