The idea that tractors used in broadacre farming may have peaked in size and will someday be replaced by groups of smaller, autonomous machines has been kicking around for at least a decade. In theory, theres certainly still a case to be made for smaller machines that cost less and reduce soil compaction, while having Read More The idea that tractors used in broadacre farming may have peaked in size and will someday be replaced by groups of smaller, autonomous machines has been kicking around fo

Yesterday I had the distinct privilege of hosting 20 navy and coast guard officers from 15 foreign countries attending a U.S. Coast Guard two-month international program. The U.S. Coast Guard officers in charge of this program put Polyface on their itinerary last year as an example of American agriculture ecological entrepreneurism. We had officers from Mozambique, Madagascar, Italy, Poland, Sri Lanka, Moldives, Mauritania and several other countries.

Several authors and groups have defined the term conservation in different ways. Three of such definitions are given in this article. Various issues related to conservation, such as conservation legislation and the constraints of implementing Agenda 21 in Nigeria, are also discussed.
The laws governing natural resources in Nigeria include the Exclusive Economic Zone Decree of 1978, the Sea Fisheries Decree, and several others that regulate these resources. There is a need to enforce these laws to ensure the proper functioning of the fisheries sector.
Hundreds gather in Oklahoma City to shape national policyOKLAHOMA CITYWisconsin Farmers Union (WFU) members were in Oklahoma City this week for the National Farmers Union 123rd Anniversary Convention.

Fisheries enhancement involves activities aimed at supplementing or sustaining the recruitment of one or more aquatic organisms and raising the total production of selected elements of a fishery beyond a level that is sustainable by natural processes. This article highlights five forms of fisheries enhancement.
A study led by Griffith University researchers in Australia found that compost applied to agricultural land contains significant amounts of microplastics. In Australia, 51% of organic waste is composted and 26% applied to agricultural lands, but scientists suggest that composting may become an environmental crisis, rather than a solution, if the issue of plastic contamination isn’t addressed.
Fisheries management systems in Nigeria involve both formal (government) and informal (traditional) institutions. Traditional management systems regulate fisheries activities and resources through traditional authorities or communities, which are united by common beliefs, norms, languages, and interests.
University of Arkansas research comparing conventional and slow-growing broiler breeds showed that the slow-growing chickens displayed behaviors more closely associated with positive welfare. In this study, a larger percentage of slow-growing broilers that need up to 12 weeks to reach maturity were observed standing, walking, and preening, while more conventional broilers (raised for six to eight weeks) sat in a lateral posture.
The non-traditional system of fisheries management involves the control of fisheries by the state or its agents, as opposed to management by traditional authorities. This article explores the modern systems of fisheries management, similarities between traditional and modern methods, the mixed system of management, and the challenges associated with enforcing laws.

Fisheries management is a process which entails information gathering, analysis, planning, consultation, decision-making, allocation of resources, formulation and implementation, and enforcement of regulations covering fisheries activities to ensure continued productivity and the accomplishment of fisheries objectives.
Nigeria possesses a vast fisheries resource base, comprising inland and marine fisheries. Various institutions, including federal, state, local governments, and non-governmental organizations, are involved in fisheries management, each with distinct responsibilities such as the Federal Department of Fisheries, the Nigerian Navy, among others.
This article is designed to enable understanding of the concept of fisheries development. Fisheries development aims at achieving the full potential of the sector through growth and improvement. It involves the expansion of fishing effort, improvement in post-harvest technology, marketing and transportation of fishery products, and the provision of infrastructure and other related facilities.
Fish diversity, ranging from individual populations to entire species and complex communities, has been declining due to the reduced health of aquatic ecosystems and invasions by nonnative species.
Aquatic environments include freshwater, brackish water, and marine systems, each existing in various forms. Freshwater habitats may include static or standing bodies such as lakes and ponds (lentic habitats), while rivers, marine water, or oceans are moving or running (lotic habitats). The study of freshwater ecosystems is known as limnology.
Given the growing importance of both production and consumption of global fish products in developing countries, the fish sector offers significant opportunities for poor farmers to increase their income through sustainable fish production and to improve and diversify their diets by increasing fish consumption.

Nigeria is dominated by two main river systems, namely the Niger-Benue and Chad systems. These systems have several tributaries and support activities such as agriculture and fishing. Water in Nigeria is managed by the Federal, State, and Local Governments concurrently. The Federal Government manages marine fisheries, while the State Governments manage rivers within their jurisdiction.
