Agreement blends country agriculture with urban youth

OMAHA, Neb. - An agriculture college in southwestern Nebraska is bringing a little bit of country to the city, and to the farm where urban youth can learn about raising crops and livestock.


Next fall, high school students in Omaha area schools and adult learners interested in boosting their knowledge of horticulture and farm animals can enroll in courses offered by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) and the Omaha Home for Boys at the Cooper Memorial Farm, 8502 Mormon Bridge Road.


Officials unveiled class details Friday at the Farm, located 3 miles north of downtown Omaha.


"The joint effort between NCTA and the Omaha Home for Boys is a pilot project for anyone in the Omaha area. It is designed to support locally-produced food, produce job-ready agricultural graduates, and foster social and economic development for youth and adults," said Ron Rosati, NCTA Dean. "Omaha Home for Boys is a real gem in guiding young men and women on their life path.

UMass professor to design agricultural systems in Himalayas

Carey Clouse, an Assistant Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at University of Massachusetts, has been awarded a Fulbright Flex Award to conduct research and prepare sustainable high-altitude agricultural systems for farming communities secluded in the Himalayan mountains.


This award is presented by the Fulbright Scholar Program from the U.S. Department of State to researchers who will be conducting projects in foreign countries while also sharing their knowledge of their field with that country’s students.


Clouse will be working in the rain-deprived regions of Zanskar and Ladakh, which are currently experiencing the consequences of climate change. According to the Centre for Science and Environment in India, these regions, which are home to various Himalayan glaciers, are experiencing a water shortage because the glaciers are shrinking at an alarming rate.

India Meteorological Department's Pune arm warns of poor rains

PUNE: India should brace for a weak monsoon season as El Nino conditions are likely to develop, but before rains dry up, the ongoing wet spell will continue until June, weather scientists have forecast, casting a shadow on the rabi harvest and the planting of summer crops such as paddy


This is not the official monsoon forecast of India Meteorological Department (IMD), but the outlook prepared by the Pune-based Regional Climate Centre, which is a part of IMD. Forecasters from Australia, China, Korea and the US have issued El Nino warnings, but so far the Indian weather office has rubbished the concerns as western propaganda to rattle Indian markets.


Monsoon outlook is indeed sensitive for the economy and the market. Although the country has sufficient stock of foodgrain, a negative monsoon adversely affects the entire economy. In 2009, when an El Nino severely disrupted monsoon rains, India saw a sudden burst of food inflation, which continued relentlessly for years, forcing the Reserve Bank of India to keep interest rates high despite persistent protests by industry. Weak rainfall in the country in 2009 raised global sugar prices to the highest in decades, and this year the price of the sweetener in India, the world's second-largest producer, is already rising.

Gloomy picture for Indian agriculture, says UN panel

India stares at an agriculture loss worth Rs 42,000 crore ($7 billion) by 2030, due to the dangerous consequences of climate change, says the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in its latest report.The loss will mostly be on account of a sharp drop in wheat productivity because of the heat stress in the Indo-Gangetic plains, which produce almost 90 million tonnes of wheat annually.Ranging from Punjab and Haryana to West Bengal, this belt account for almost 15 per cent of global wheat production. The productivity decline could be as high as 51 per cent in the most favourable and high yielding area due to heat stress and heavy carbon dioxide load in the atmosphere.
