Egg management system not all it's cracked up to be, says Nova Scotia farmer

HALIFAX - Canada's egg supply management system, which has landed one Nova Scotia farmer in court over the size of his flock, must be flexible if it wants to satisfy the varying tastes of consumers, says an expert in agricultural economics.


Some critics say supply management, which regulates the number of laying hens a farmer can own, is unfair to newcomers and small producers who can't afford to buy into the system.


Rakhal Sarker, a professor at the University of Guelph in Ontario, said the system remains the best way to manage the country's supply of eggs. But he said provincial egg marketing boards have to meet consumer demand for different types of products, including organic, free-range and free-run eggs.

Agriculture is hot again at Montana State University

The college department at Montana State University with the most scholarships and steadily rising enrollment? Could it be agriculture?


Yep.


Agriculture is the rising star at Montana State University in Bozeman, where President Waded Cruzado recently elevated the dean’s chair to a vice president position. The move means the head of agriculture will be at the table for all major decisions at the university.


“Any way we can elevate the importance of our No. 1 industry — agriculture — at our institutions of higher learning is a win,” said Dave Kelsey, of Lakeview Land and Livestock in Molt. “The vice president of agriculture will sit in on all decisions made by the executive council, even though some of those won’t affect agriculture. Agriculture will have some input on them.”

Immense challenges for world hunger: agriculture ministers

Paris: Efforts to rid the world of hunger face immense challenges as farmers deal with resource scarcity, climate change and loss of soil fertility, agriculture ministers from 65 countries said.

Economic and financial crisis and excessive price swings create uncertainty that endangers investment in agriculture, the policy makers gathered in Berlin wrote in a joint statement published by the German agriculture ministry.

Food production will have to rise 60% between now and 2050 as the world population expands to 9 billion, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization estimates. The FAO estimates about 870 million people were undernourished in 2010-12. International food prices in the past three years have been higher than ever before, FAO data show.

Agriculture as an occupation fails to entice youths

In spite of the fact that farming has been a major livelihood for the people of Himachal Pradesh, agriculture as an occupation has failed to attract the youths of the state.


The national policy for farmers that was framed in 2007, endorsed the participation of youth in farm activities, but failed to entice enough youngsters in the state towards farming.


According to the statistics provided by the state agriculture department, nearly 30 youngsters approached it in 2013 for launching self-employment ventures under the national policy for farmers.Under the policy, interested youths would be helped and supported for setting up agri-clinics and production-cum-processing centres to undertake outsourcing jobs both from within and outside the country.
