Now one third of all arable land is used to grow crops to feed livestock, not to grow staple crops for people.

Such staple food crops also can be modified to contain additional nutrients.

It is the key to the worldwide increase in food production since the 1960 s.

Iran estimates the alleged reduction in crop quality by comparing crop prices in the Southern Provinces in 1991 with national crop prices.

Harvest contaminated tobacco.

In East Africa, where millions of people already are dependent on food aid, a sharp rise in the cost of staple crops looms.

In terms of crop management, the options include the development and introduction of tolerant resistant crops, pest and soil studies, better cropping or farming systems, improved irrigation techniques and crop rotation, as well as changes in the timing of planting of crops.

Boosting yields of locally grown staple foods (rather than cash crops) would increase self sufficiency and strengthen resilience when international food prices are high.

Low productivity of licit agricultural crops, insufficient infrastructure and lack of access to technology, credits and markets all inhibit the generation of licit income beyond subsistence levels.

It has strengthened cooperation with the International Crops Research Institute in Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), and the Common Fund for Commodities (CFC) through the preparation of Memorandums of Understanding with the two entities.

Crop Environment Resources Synthesis model.

In general, farmers benefit from having an increase in crop yield and from being able to grow a variety of crops throughout the year.

Crops and food supplies have dwindled, leaving nothing but desperation behind.

GM crops also have significant economic benefits.

They started by boiling crops. When the crops finished, they would boil grass and plants...then insects.

Studies on five crops were being considered.

The first claim unit is for a reduction in crop yields the second claim unit is for a reduction in the quality of crops and the third claim unit is for a proposed long term monitoring and assessment project.

Second claim unit Reduced crop quality Iran seeks compensation in the amount of USD 174,648,879 for losses due to reduced quality of several varieties of agricultural crops in the Southern Provinces in 1991.

Iraq notes that Saudi Arabia did not provide baseline data on crops or evidence indicating the types of crops that were affected or their location.

The countries most affected by illicit crop cultivation need further capacity building, programme coordination, the establishment of monitoring and impact evaluation systems and long term socio economic development in order to sustain illicit crop eradication and alternative development efforts and to prevent the re emergence of illicit crops.

Article 3, paragraph 3 For the purposes of Article 3, paragraph 3, eligible activities are those direct human induced afforestation, reforestation and or deforestation activities that meet the requirements set forth in this annex and that started on or after 1 January 1990 and before 31 December of the last year of the commitment period.

Certain crops can be grown in their own homes.

NCHD National Commission for Human Development.

The establishment of a network of regional illicit crop monitoring experts based in Afghanistan, Myanmar and Peru contributed to the effective implementation of the illicit crop monitoring programme in the field.

Seeing the government take away their land to make room for refugees, the former are not happy with the support given to the latter. Hence, there's a certain distrust of the refugees.

Cropping systems that include a variety of crops (polyculture and or rotation) may also replenish nitrogen (if legumes are included) and may also use resources such as sunlight, water, or nutrients more efficiently (Field Crops Res.

Iran estimates its crop losses by comparing the actual production of each crop in each of the affected provinces during 1991 with the expected production of those crops, based on a statistical analysis of crop yields over a period of 11 years from 1986 to 1996.

Given their benefits, GM crops repeat index the proportion of farmers who, after trying a GM variety, choose to plant it again is very high.

In addition, we need to provide them with research and technology to ensure that they can grow the best quality produce, and storage capabilities so that they can sell at peak prices.

Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a software system that integrates crop growth models with crop, weather and soil data and estimates potential changes in crop yields and water use.

WK Yeah, I want to build another one to pump water and irrigation for crops.

Heartier crop varieties are helping farmers to weather tough conditions.

The first claim unit is for reduction in crop yields and the second claim unit is for claim preparation costs.

Yields of all major crops have been rising dramatically in recent decades, owing to higher yielding crop varieties and farmers greater use of fertilizer, pesticides, and irrigation.

ROME A severe food crisis currently threatens southern Sudan. In East Africa, where millions of people already are dependent on food aid, a sharp rise in the cost of staple crops looms.
