Biopesticides and Economic Democracy
Kloppenburg, Jack Jr. (NABC, 1989-02-15)The central social and economic issue in the development of biopesticides—indeed, in the development of biotechnology globally—is the question of economic democracy. -
Biopesticides and the Environment
Pimentel, David (NABC, 1989-02-15)Risk of greatly increased use of pesticides, including biopesticides, demands investigating more natural means of integrated pest management -
Biopesticides: An Overview
McManus, Michael L. (NABC, 1989-02-15)Overview of biopesticides from bacteria, nematodes, fungi, protozoa, viruses. The problem of developing resistance -
Biotechnology and Disease Control in Animals: Social and Ethical Issues
Mason, James (NABC, 1989-02-15)By quietly researching and developing biotechnological products before the impacts are known, those who have the greatest investments in the present modes of agricultural production could work to resist rather than to ... -
Biotechnology and Sustainable Agriculture—Policy Alternatives
MacDonald, June Fessenden (NABC, 1989-02-15)Biotechnology—the use of an organism or its product(s)—is a centuries old technology. Humans have selected, improved, and used organisms and their products for decades: yeasts for bread, wine and cheese making, domesticated ... -
Biotechnology, Sustainable Agriculture, and the Family Farm
Hassebrook, Charles (NABC, 1989-02-15)There is a need to make agricultural biotechnology products available to family farms, not only to corporate farms. Agriculture is more sustainably done on the smaller scale of the family farm. -
Disease Control in Animals
Curtis, Stanley (NABC, 1989-02-15)This presentation details aspect of animal husbandry that remote her health. -
Economic Aspects of Biopesticides
Reichelderfer, Katherine H. (NABC, 1989-02-15)Factors influencing biopesticides use -
Economic Aspects of Disease Control in Animals
Kliebenstein, James B.; Hallam, L. Arne (NABC, 1989-02-15)Producers need to have healthy management in order to successfully utilize new products and technology, and appropriate management information needs to accompany the introduction of new technologies. -
Environmental, Health and Safety Issues
Black, Gail (NABC, 1989-02-15)The issue of disease control in farm animals has far-reaching implications and cost and benefits must be carefully examined. -
Environmental, Human and Target Animal Safety Issues of Animal Growth Promotants
Steele, Norman C.; Zimbleman, Robert G. (NABC, 1989-02-15)The farm of the future will be more management intensive, and that management will require a wider range of tools—that is technology—to be successful in producing an abundant safe food supply. Genetic manipulation is the ... -
Herbicide Resistance in Plants
LeBaron, Homer M. (NABC, 1989-02-15)Economic effects of herbicide resistance. How resistance develops and how its pathways can be used for crop improvement. -
Impact of Animal Growth
Kalter, Robert J. (NABC, 1989-02-15)A socially acceptable policy to remove excess capacity in dairy production must be implemented including the removal or price supports. Public income should emphasize education, human services, and social safety nets. ... -
Impact of Animal Growth Promotants on the Meat Industry
Hayenga, Marvin L.; Buhr, Brian L. (NABC, 1989-02-15)It is not necessarily size, but management sophistication that really makes a difference in the successful use of PST. Larger, more specialized operations are more likely to make effective use of this relatively sophisticated ... -
Is Genetically Engineered Herbicide-resistance (GEHR) Compatible with Low-input Sustainable Agriculture (LISA)?
Comstock, Gary (NABC, 1989-02-15)An adequate discussion of the morality of agricultural biotechnological research designed to facilitate the prevention or killing of weeds must take into account a broad range of issues. -

Should the Development of Herbicide-tolerant Plants be a Focus of Sustainable Agriculture Research?
Goldburg, Rebecca J. (NABC, 1989-02-15)Public sector funding could help the development of weed control alternatives that, unlike herbicide-tolerant plants, the industry has not found potentially profitable. -
Social and Ethical Implications of Animal Growth Promotants
Hoiberg, Eric O.; Bulfetta, Gordon; Nowak, Peter (NABC, 1989-02-15)Pre-introduction research into the economic and social impacts of new technologies play an important role by identifying institutional barriers to the equitable transfer of new technologies and by providing needed information ...
