C-082N BIOPESTICIDES AND ALTERNATIVE AGRICULTURE $2,450.00 for full report ERIKA SMITH PROJECT ANALYST Anna Crull PROJECT DIRECTOR INTRODUCTION STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This technical/marketing study was prepared as an analysis to forecast and trace the significant changes in the pesticide and agricultural chemical business, as well as document the emerging trend toward integrated and low input agriculture. Changes in the concepts of hard and soft pesticides are coming about as the new biological pesticides become available. This report identifies these expanding technological innovations and identifies the impact of governmental regulations and legislative actions. It then identifies what these developments mean for manufacturers, suppliers, and users of pesticides and crop protection chemicals in terms of alternative agriculture. REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY Rapid changes are coming about in the conventional crop protection business as well as in what chemicals are allowed for use. This study identifies the emergence of biological pesticides against a framework of alternative agriculture and integrated pest management concepts. This technical/marketing report examines the viable alternatives to traditional hard (chemical) pesticides in the form of biologically-based, or soft, pesticides. These are presumably safer to the environment and less likely to cause resistance in pest populations. Pesticides, by type, include fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. These compounds have continued to come under close government scrutiny and public attack.

Topics in Sustainable Agriculture Index: The Assault on Alternative Agriculture Statement of Purpose: Needs of Sustainable Agriculture: The Promise of Sustainable Agriculture: ... Links: The Assault on Alternative Agriculture There is a battle waging within agriculture today, a battle that is pitting large segments of agribusiness against the sustainable agriculture movement. Opponents of sustainable agriculture control much of the media and therefore their opinions dominate the debate and the minds of the masses. They assert that if farmers stop using chemicals (that they just happen to produce) the world would starve. They cite biased economic studies, such as the one conducted by Thomas Foster (an agricultural economist for the Tennessee Valley Authority and the National Fertilizer Development Center) in which he claims "Taking chemicals out of agriculture could mean cutting exports in half, 217,000 fewer jobs, rampant inflation, and a huge increase in food costs. . . Yields generally fell in all scenarios while costs per unit of crop increased in all cases." ( Omaha World-Herald 15 November 1990, 19). This type of economic study (even if totally correct) is extremely irresponsible. It is obvious that the conversion away from chemically based agriculture "is a slow, methodical, step-at-a-time procedure"(p.94

Towards Alternative Self-Reliant Agricultural Development George Kurzom Preface It is a pleasure to introduce this invaluable work that debates an important issue pertaining to the agricultural sector. For historical, economic and cultural reasons, the Palestinian people have depended on the land for their wellbeing. Though the agricultural sector faces many obstacles that have greatly staggered its development, concern for the sector has diminished, particularly with the ending of the Intifada. Israeli policies meanwhile have focused on destroying the agricultural capacity of Palestine and imposing it to sub serve the Israeli economy. At the same time, assistance programs do not give adequate attention to the sector, indicated by the marginal apportionment of international assistance to agriculture, funds that are far sufficient from bringing about necessary change. We hope this study receives the consideration it deserves from policy-makers, and researchers and that it contributes to the formulation of a developmental framework for Palestine, one that considers the human aspects involved. This paper was made possible through the joint partnership of two Palestinian institutions working in development: MA'AN Development Center (MA'AN) and the Development Studies Program at Birzeit University.

WHAT IS "SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE?" In earlier sections of this unit on agriculture, we've seen that we are simultaneously decreasing the carrying capacity ("K") of Earth for humans through land degradation , while at the same time human population (and the demand for agricultural products) continues to increase. Such contrasting trajectories (decreasing "K" and increasing population) would, over time, result in disaster, or something close to that. Fortunately, many agronomists, ecologists, economists, and others involved with food and population issues recognize this, and increased attention is being paid to "sustainable" or "alternative" agriculture. What do "sustainable" or "alternative" agriculture mean? "Alternative" agriculture is more loosely defined than is sustainable agriculture, and it generally refers to agricultural practices that are different than those used in conventional Green Revolution style agriculture. For example, farming practices that decrease reliance on inorganic fertilizers as the primary source of fertility (see "Soil fertility"

Discussion Papers Discussion Paper No. 107 Abstract Opportunities and Challenges in Agriculture and Garments: A General Equilibrium Analysis of the Bangladesh Economy Channing Arndt, Paul Dorosh , Marzia Fontana , and Sajjad Zohir with Moataz El-Said and Christen Lungren November 2002 For the past two decades, Bangladesh has enjoyed steady growth in per capita incomes enabling a significant reduction in poverty. An increase in rice productivity, achieved through a combination of improved seeds, increased fertilizer use, and public and private investments in irrigation, played a major role in the increase in incomes. Among the other major factors were a large expansion in textile exports, made possible by changes in world demand, Bangladesh trade liberalization, and macro-economic stability; and increases in workers. remittances. In order to accelerate or even maintain income growth rates and poverty reduction, future policies must be carefully designed to capture the benefits and minimize the risks of international trade and a constantly changing international environment. A proper assessment of the impact of such policies and economic developments on the poor requires a comprehensive framework to analyze interactions between different sectors as well as linkages between macro and micro levels. In this paper we construct a social accounting matrix for 1999/2000 and develop a computable general equilibrium model (CGE) with special treatment of the rice and wheat sectors. We then present simulations of the effects of (i) rice productivity shocks, (ii) a decline in the world rice price, and (iii) a reduction in RMG exports, reflecting an end to preferential access to RMG markets for Bangladesh goods.

November 2003 Taxation - Alternative Minimum Tax Introduction Implemented in 1986, Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) was introduced to address concerns that some individuals and trusts with high gross incomes paid little or no income tax. It usually arises in agriculture tax situations when farm property such as land is sold and the combination of regular taxable income and 60% of the non-taxable capital gains exceeds $40,000. This amount is subject to a flat tax currently set at 16%. Retiring farmers selling farm property and incurring significant capital gains are most likely to be affected. Tax legislation continues to change and the information contained in this Information Update is based on the prevailing tax legislation information at the date of publication. If you have a tax situation that might trigger the Alternative Minimum Tax, it is strongly recommended that professional taxation and legal advice be obtained to manage the potential taxation liability. This Information Update will illustrate how AMT can affect the estate plans of farmers.

(1988) A guidebook is available to assist rural and farm residents who are considering alternative enterprises. Farming Alternatives: A Guide to Evaluating the Feasibility of New Farm-Based Enterprises, NRAES-32 , takes the reader through a step-by-step analysis of a potential new business. The guidebook uses a case study and workbook format to evaluate personal and family considerations, available resources, alternative enterprise options, market potential, production feasibility, profitability, cash flow, and a final evaluation of all factors combined. In addition to providing a format for evaluating an alternative enterprise, the guidebook provides sources of information for specific materials. Starting a new venture requires resources, careful management, hard work, and risk. Before committing time and resources to an enterprise, it is important to look at the feasibility of the idea on paper. Each chapter of Farming Alternatives includes exercises-self-tests, checklists, and work sheets-that allow the reader to analyze an enterprise idea and build business management skills. The reader will take an inventory to identify underutilized resources that can be used in a new enterprise, perform market research to determine who will buy a product or service, and plan the production aspects of the enterprise. An income statement and cash flow analysis will be prepared to determine profitability and the financial feasibility of starting and operating the enterprise. The guidebook even explains how to combine the documents to present a proposal to a lender.
