FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. AFRA fosters regional cooperation in the use of nuclear techniques in the fields of animal production, crop improvement, soil fertility and water management, insect and pest control, and food safety. In animal production, AFRA promotes capacity building in the utilisation of nuclear techniques in programmes supporting artificial insemination. Cost-effective approaches to the selection of breeding stock and the development of feeding strategies are necessary for the conservation and sustainable utilisation of African animal genetic resources. AFRA continues to promote the use of serological and molecular techniques to diagnose and control transboundary animal diseases (TADs), such as peste des petits ruminants (PPR), by strengthening laboratory capacities. A strategy promoting a collaborative framework between AFRA and the African Union (AU) is suggested for the control of livestock diseases in Africa. In crop improvement, AFRA aims to enhance and strengthen the Member State capacities needed to transform and optimize land crops through breeding drought-tolerant crop varieties, using mutation techniques for underutilized crops, undertaking studies on consumer-focused approaches, and improving crops by mutation induction and biotechnology through a farmer-participatory approach. In the area of soil fertility and water, AFRA projects are geared towards protecting soil sustainability and combating desertification, as well as formulating strategies for changing agricultural patterns, using nuclear techniques to monitor water uptake by plants and losses through evaporation and/or drainage, and quantifying the efficiency of nitrogen applied under different irrigation and crop systems. AFRA facilitates regional cooperation in the utilization and improvement of these techniques as well as in up-scaling it to other regions. In the field of insect and pest control, the AFRA strategy is to facilitate the establishment of regional programmes on education and training in order to ensure the successful use of nuclear technology for control of insects and pests, including false codling moth, Mediterranean fruit fly, mosquitoes and tsetse fly. In food safety, AFRA activities aim to improve levels of food safety by promoting the importance of crop sustainability, food production and processing, and enhancing knowledge and skills in this field.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. For example, the price per average ton for grapes from the 2004 growing year shall be no less than the 95th percentile of prices reported in the 2003 Final Grape Crush Report for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in District 4. To determine the 95th percentile price, first calculate the total number of tons reported in Table 8, then multiply that number by 0.05. The resulting number of tons are counted back from the highest price reported to determine the 95th percentile price. If the Final Grape Crush Report or Table 8 thereof is discontinued, the most nearly comparable table or index shall be used in this pricing formula, as reasonably determined by Winery.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. In 1998 the Massachusetts Department of Food and Agriculture mandated IPM in all State owned buildings (xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxxxx.xxx). A procedure was implemented to qualify all pest control contracts for these buildings. In order to qualify to bid on the contract, bidders must attend a scheduled “walk-through” of a selected state facility. After the “walk-through” bidders submit a Mock Initial Inspection Report and an IPM based Pest Management Plan. These are used to evaluate the bidders’ general understanding of IPM. If the submittals are acceptable, the bidder is placed on a Statewide Pre- Qualified list. As of November 2001 there were 21 pest control companies on the list. Facility managers of all State-owned buildings will use this list to solicit pest control services. Contractors are subject to random audits.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE. Food security remains a major constraint limiting many development initiatives in Africa. Over $18 billion is spent annually on food imports and in the year 2000, Africa received 2.8 million tons of food aid, a quarter of the world’s total production. Over the past decade, the number of people receiving the World Food Programme (WFP) food aid in sub-Saharan Africa has doubled from 21.2 million in 1995 to over 43.04 million in 2005. Ensuring access to sufficient safe and nutritious food is the main priority. However, a new strategy is needed to address the root causes of food insecurity. Recent increases in food production observed in the continent have been due more to an increase in area cultivated than to agricultural intensification. AFRA shall promote the use of nuclear techniques to enhance food production. Such techniques can increase food production without demand for additional lands resources.
