...struggle to provide for themselves and their families due to the low prices paid by exporters, importers, and middlemen for their raw coffee beans. Some countries, however, have begun to implement regulations and guidelines in order to divert the uneven economical effects on the livelihoods of small farm owners and workers. We will discover that fair trade is the most vital system for small farm owners and workers who are looking to prosper in the coffee industry. Additionally, we will explore the façade that fair trade imposes to mainstream society and how the reality of fair trade is being obstructed by said façade. From raw coffee beans to the liquid cup of coffee we know and love, let’s now set out on a voyage to uncover the strains that are evoked on the people involved in the production process of this highly sought after commodity and ways in which the industry is evolving to facilitate small farm employees needs for sustainable livelihoods. Fair trade can provide peripheral economies with a sustainable coffee industry. Our journey begins in the southern part of the globe, around the equator, where coffee beans are harvested from trees located on small plots of land usually consisting of one or two hectares. These small farms are often owned and operated by a family or small group of people who put in the work to harvest the beans as well as negotiate prices in which they are compensated for them. However, small producers often have...

...BIOFUELS 50 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS NEW MARKET Ministério das Minas e Energia BIOFUELS 50 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS NEW MARKET Presentation T he history of biofuels in Brazil began with pioneering tests carried out between 1905 and 1925 with ethanol. In 1931, the Brazilian Government passed a decree which obliged the mixing of 5% of alcohol in gasoline imported in to the country; seven years later, Decree-Law No. 737 extended the obligation of mixing 5% of alcohol also to gasoline produced within Brazil. In the 60s, the discovery of vast oil reserves in the Middle East lessened the world’s interest in biofuels. However, with the first world oil crisis in 1973, the search for new energy sources restarted. In 1975, Brazil launched the National Alcohol Program (known as Proálcool) – the largest program for the commercial use of biomass for energy purposes in the world. Two years later, Professor Expedito Parente, of the Ceará Federal University, discovered biodiesel made from cotton oil and, in 1980, he registered the first world wide biodiesel patent, now in the public domain. Throughout the world, with the passing of the years and the intermittent energy crises, associated to a greater demand for fossil fuels, new and strong stimuli emerged for the development of production technologies both for ethanol and biodiesel. These two products are starting to have a leading role in the world’s energy matrix and in the international fuel market. Thanks...

...A FACTORIAL DESIGN TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF SPACINGS AND FERTILIZER LEVELS ON CROP GROWTH, SEED YIELD AND QUALITY IN LABLAB BEANS (Lablab purpureus.) (A CASE STUDY OF MAIN AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH STATION FARM, UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD ) BY ADENIYI OBANLA A. ABSTRACT This research work is an attempt to apply experimental design to boost the yield of vegetables (Lablab purpureus) through the application of fertilizer levels and spacing. The field experiment consists of two spacing viz., 45x15 cm (S1) and 60x15 cm (S2) and eight fertilizer levels viz., F1-25:50:25 kg NPK per ha (RdF), F2-33:50:25 kg NPK per ha, F3-25:67:25 kg NPK per ha, F4-25:50:33 kg NPK per ha, F5-33:67:25 kg NPK per ha, F6-25:67: 33 kg NPK per ha, F7-33:50:33 kg NPK per ha and F8-33:67:33 kg NPK per ha. This is laid out in RBD with factorial concept in three replication. Significantly higher pod yield (20.19 q/ha), seed yield (16.81 q/ha), were recorded in S1 compared to S2 spacing, Whereas, pods per plant (20.60), seeds per pod (19.29), seed yield per plant (16.54g), 100 seed weight (28.43 g), germination (70.65%), and field emergency (66.92) were higher in S2 compared to S1 spacing. More pod yield per ha (22.24 g), seed yield per ha (18.50 q), and seed yield per plant (19.95 g), 100 seed weight (32.26 g), and germination percentage (73.35) and field emergency (83.97) were higher in F8 fertilizer level compared to F1 fertilizer level. The interaction effects of S1xF8 recorded significantly more...

...RATIOS OF POWDERED FISH AND MUNG BEAN FELOMENA E. APILAN A RESEARCH PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF ZAMBOANGA STATE COLLEGE OF MARINE SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY, FORT PILAR, ZAMBOANGA CITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN FISHERIES (Major in Fish Processing Technology) November 2009 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This study is concerned on the making of nutri-curls using three different ratios of fish powder and mung bean powder. To achieve high growth or development, there is a need to conduct research about food products. It is important to have constant and standard procedure coming up with new and creative ways to satisfy customers. There is a need of careful study on the process until desired results of the finished products will be attained. Today, junk foods are very common as food snacks by great mass of customers without the realization of getting nothing advantageous from the said snack. Since nutritious food is necessary for our health such as growth and strength, this study is envisioned to manufacture food products with enough aggregates of nutritional considerations. Proper and essential nutritive contents such as right amount of calories, protein, minerals, vitamins, fats and oils. Nutri-curls unlike other curls will be a cheaper food product enrich with natural flavors without artificial additives and preservatives. Thus, this study aims to produce acceptable and...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Philippines is an agricultural country. The geographical location of this country in the Tropic plays the major role to this fact. Aside from rice, Filipinos produce most of the crops that they use to make food that they serve in their dining tables. In the countryside, houses have different kinds of vegetables, fruits and root crops planted on their backyards. Unfortunately, people living in urban places don’t have backyards. There are a few plants that will grow with only one light in a windowless office or a one-room apartment whose single window faces into an air shaft. (House Plants, 1975) Artificial lighting is the answer for almost any kind of plant that can be grown if enough artificial light is provided, even in situations where no other light is available. Artificial lights allow regular people to plant whole gardens in places where no plant would ordinarily grow. A lesson in cell metabolism-energy and photosynthesis mentions that “chlorophyll absorbs most red, orange, blue, and violet light. It reflects green and yellow light, giving its body a green coloring”. This statement got the researchers curious and wondered if plants act differently to the green and yellow colors of light, then they should have different reactions and effects to every color of light. (Capco C., Yang G., 2010). This study aimed to find if there exist a significiant difference in the growth of plants when exposed to different...

The first includes, for example, a toxin produced by a fungus that has contaminated a food, or a pathogenic bacterium or virus, if the amount present in the food may be injurious to health. An example of the second is the tetrodotoxin that occurs naturally in some organs of some types of pufferfish and that ordinarily will make the fish injurious to health. In either case, foods adulterated with these agents are prohibited from being introduced, or offered for introduction, into interstate commerce. Our scientific understanding of pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins is continually advancing....

...PART 1 NUTRITION AND ATHLETE HEALTH The sport of athletics includes a wide range of events whose requirements range from speed to endurance, from a light physique to explosive power, and from multiple events lasting less than a minute to a single race lasting more than 2–3 hours. Despite the extreme contrast in these characteristics, all athletes share some common nutrition goals (see Table 6-1). This chapter will briefly explore these goals. Table 6-1. The athlete’s nutrition goals. Characteristic Everyday eating or training diet The athlete’s nutrition-related goals • Achieve and maintain a physique that is suited to the event • Eat to stay healthy and injury-free • Train hard and promote optimal adaptations and recovery from the training programme • Practice competition eating in training to fine tune strategies • Prepare adequate fuel stores for the event • Eat and drink well on competition day to prepare for an event and to recover between multiple events • During prolonged events (> 1 hour), replace fluid and carbohydrate to enhance performance • Achieve competition strategies when traveling • Make use of specialised sports foods to meet nutritional goals when it is impractical to eat everyday foods • Make wise decisions about the use of nutritional ergogenic aids based on cost: benefit analysis Competition eating Sports foods and dietary supplements A. The Training Diet 1. Achieving Energy Needs Energy needs vary according to body size, the energy cost of training...
