However, his contributions were largely overlooked during the green revolution of the 1960s and the subsequent and more-inclusive farming systems research/extension (FSR/E) development approach of the early 1970s that sought sustainable agricultural alternatives.
These data support a non-agricultural alternative to traditional models of Gulf Olmec emergence at San Lorenzo, the premier Early Formative Gulf lowlands center.
They have identified a number of areas with high growth potential, such as water management, agricultural science, alternative energy and of course security, in which Israel already has world-beating technology.
Topics covered include agricultural stability, alternative energy sources, transportation, green buildings, wastewater treatment, efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, and attempts to reverse the effects of deforestation and desertification.
Ben is leading a new JNF initiative called "the Summit" which will focus on the scalability and cross-border collaboration around Israeli as well as other best in class water, agricultural and alternative energy initiatives in April 2013.
The interdisciplinary research project "Sustainable land-use management in the North German lowlands" investigates the opportunities, challenges and potential conflicts in the fields of agriculture, forestry and water management by analysing the effect of silvicultural and agricultural management alternatives on natural resources, their economical evaluation and the ecological value.
Meanwhile, other agricultural policy alternatives, such as agricultural trade policy and agricultural support policy, should be attempted to improve food security.
A habitat-change model was used to compare past, present, and future land cover and management practices to assess potential impacts of alternative agricultural practices on wildlife in two agricultural watersheds, Walnut Creek and Buck Creek, in central Iowa, USA.
Nevertheless, health education and alternative agricultural practices can achieve improvements in agricultural productivity (similar yields with fewer input costs) and human health (better neurobehavioral function) [ 8].
Growing concerns regarding food safety, environmental degradation and human health have generated interest in alternative agricultural systems like organic farming.
They assert that several other important factors were also not accounted for: the value of distillers grains, a protein-rich livestock feed that is a by-product of ethanol; rising conversion plant efficiency; and carbon sequestration by alternative agricultural methods such as no-till farming.
