Language: English Descriptors: China; Alternative farming; Agricultural research; Applied research; Anabaena; Animal manures; Ferns; Pig feeding; Poultry feeding Abstract: An explanation is provided of why and how one group of researchers in a Chinese village setting came to focus on what the authors call biological recycle farming. An explanation of applied agricultural research in China is provided. One conclusion reached is that application of research at the village level was largely successful because it was founded on community development principles. Another conclusion is that food production in very marginal Chinese villages can be increased significantly. While the alternative approach discussed cannot be exported wholesale to many other countries of the world, the concepts are very useful for international economic and agricultural development. 33 NAL Call.

September 1989. Includes bibliographical references (p. 37-39). Language: English Descriptors: Pesticides; Economic aspects; Pesticide residues in food; Pesticides; Environmental aspects Abstract: Serious risks of cancer and other chronic illnesses from pesticide residues in our food remain despite 40 years of federal regulation of these chemicals. The major sources of the gaps in federal protection include: the continued use of risk-benefit analysis to decide which pesticides to allow on the market; the failure to set tolerance at safe levels; and the inability of monitoring programs to prevent unsafe levels of residues from reaching consumers. This report is a product of the first year of the Food Forum Project, which is implemented jointly by Public Voice for Food and Health Policy and the League of Women Voters Education Fund. The report examines federal and state regulation of pesticide use, the impact of food markets on the adoption of safer pest-control methods, the development of sustainable agricultural methods, and the need for enhanced citizen participation in the national policy process. 35 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Uk; Organic foods; Consumer attitudes; Food acceptability; Food quality; History; Standards; Water quality; Nutritive value; Purchasing habits Abstract: The apparent conflict between what is scientifically known and what is perceived concerning food acceptability by consumers provides an interesting paradox. Some of the leading international contributions concerned with organic farming system food products are thus reviewed in the light of consumer beliefs and attitudes. It is concluded that, in a market economy, consumer opinion will gradually prevail and that agricultural farming systems will have to adjust to more extensive lower input farming approaches. 45 NAL Call.

Bozeman, Mont. : Rural Sociological Society; 1990. Rural sociology v. 55 (4): p. 590-616; 1990. Literature review. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: U.S.A.; Traditional farming; Alternative farming; Beliefs; Values; Conflict; Models; Agricultural development; Literature reviews 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. 47 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Nutrition education; Dietary guidelines; Food preferences; Agricultural policy; Conservation; Natural resources Abstract: A broad-range perspective on the content and implications of nutrition education is presented. The perspective stresses the importance of recognizing effects of food choices on the food supply, global resources (agricultural, economic, natural) and the long-term stability of the food system, as well as on individual nutrition and health. The term "sustainable diets" is proposed to describe recommendations for food choices that support life and health within natural system limits into the foreseeable future. General suggestions are provided to help nutritionists incorporate the sustainability concept into their teachings about food choices. The following "Dietary Guidelines for Americans" are discussed as a framework for addressing issues of sustainability in dietary guidance: 1) Eat a variety of foods, 2) Maintain ideal weight, 3) Avoid too much fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, 4) Eat foods with adequate starch and fiber, 5) Avoid too much sugar, 6) Avoid too much sodium, 7) Drink alcoholic beverages only in moderation. Learning to view foods as more than just sources of nutrients may guide consumers toward sustainable food choices. A shift to sustainable diets would be an important first step in widespread adoption of a sustainable agriculture policy that promotes the conservation of natural resources and regional self- reliance in food production and consumption.(aje) 52 NAL Call.

Results indicate that in the noncrop sector, two groups of industries are most affected by farm policy. The first group relates to production directly (agricultural services, banking and credit, and nondurable manufacturing) and the second group relates to households (retail trade and services). Farm policies which reduce production but increase net returns cause losses for the first group while benefitting the second group. Both groups are made worse off by farm policies which reduce agricultural production and the value of output. 120 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Developing countries; Alternative farming; Vocational training; Work experience programs Abstract: The frequent assumption that there are relevant and meaningful parallels between agriculture in the U.S. and in Less Industrialized Countries (LICs) is critically examined. Based on the results of a survey of LIC students enrolled in the College of Agriculture at the University of Minnesota, recommendations are made to more carefully focus the approach and direction of LIC student eduction. We conclude that the education and training of agriculturalists in U.S. institutions of higher learning does not relate sufficiently to the resource base and domestic needs of farming cultures in the LIC countries. A case is made for the benefit of practical experience through work with farmers whose practices and applications accommodate and reflect the realities of low- input farming practices in the LICs. Appropriate paralleled farming systems in the U.S are typified as "organic," "biological," "regenerative," or "sustainable," and LIC students could be given experience on these farms as a part of their degree program in school. 126 NAL Call.

Rural sociology v. 56 (3): p. 432-460; 1991. Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: Washington; Alternative farming; Beliefs; Values; 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. 155 NAL Call.

Includes references. Language: English Descriptors: South eastern states of U.S.A.; South central states of U.S.A.; Alternative farming; Diversification; Farm income; Non-traditional crops; Livestock enterprises; Aquaculture; Commodities; Surveys 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. 173 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: New York; Alternative farming; Organic farming; Crops; Farmers' attitudes; Farm surveys; Decision making Abstract: One of the major gaps in the empirical literature comparing conventional and organic farmers is the degree to which conventional farmers would prefer or can be motivated to use reduced-input practices comparable to those of alternative agriculturalists. This paper presents the results of a 1987 survey of a random sample of New York farm operators and a two-thirds sample of the membership list of the New York State chapter of the Natural Organic Farmers Association (NOFA-NY). The results show that while conventional farmers tend to have a lower preference for reduced-input practices than do alternative agriculturalists (NOFA-NY members), conventional farmers tend to prefer pest- and disease-resistant crop varieties, nonpurchased, on-farm-produced sources of fertility, and nonchemical means of disease control over high- input, chemically-based production practices. The largest differences between conventional and alternative agriculturalists are with respect to preferences for weed control practices. For six of the eight practices assessed, operators of small farms (annual gross sales less than $40,000) were intermediate in their preferences between commercial-scale farmers (gross sales $40,000 or more) and alternative agriculturalists. There was, however, virtually no difference between conventional and organic farmers in their tillage practice preferences; similar percentages of the NOFA members and commercial-scale farmers preferred minimum tillage practices, while the percentage of small farmers preferring to use as few tillage operations as possible was lower than that of both commercial-scale and organic farmers. Differences between cnventional and organic farmers in their production practice preferences are far smaller than differences in their environmental orientations. 178 NAL Call.

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. 198 NAL Call.

Language: English Descriptors: Sweden; Vegetables; Organic farming; Consumption; Marketing; Consumer attitudes; Consumer surveys; Consumption patterns; Consumer preferences; Quality; Demand 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. 254 NAL Call.
