This introductory discussion positions midscale food value chains as business models for a "third tier" in the U. S. system, distinct from direct marketing to local consumers and global of agricultural commodities. Responding growing demand that is differentiated conventional products, are developing strategic alliances among small medium sized farms or ranches other agri-food enterprises. These supply chain alliances: (a) handle significant volumes high-quality, products; (b) operate...
Despite 2 decades of effort by the public health community to combat obesity, obesity rates in United States continue rise. This lack progress raises fundamental questions about adequacy our current approaches. Although causes population-wide are multifactorial, attention food systems as potential drivers has been prominent. However, relationships between broader and not always well understood. Our efforts address can be advanced improved use approaches that consider outcomes interconnected...
Farmed oysters are one of the most valuable aquacultured products in United States (U.S.), highly perishable, and increasingly shipped live year-round. Supply chain actors must work together to bring refrigerated market quickly, while maintaining product value, safety traceability information. In light these demands, this study assesses performance conduct supply chains for U.S. farmed (Crassostrea virginica, C. gigas). Over two-year period, we conducted interviews with 56 businesses tracked...
Food system advocates have made attempts for over a decade to overcome the resistance of planners inclusion food issues in their portfolios. Two recent surveys illuminate reasons this neglect: they range from turf problems, lack perception that any problem exists, funds. Given these barriers, author suggests engage on specific, well-targeted at local or regional level and join forces with other organizations common concerns, such as “sustainable communities,” approach collaboration assistance.
Emphasis on local foods and food systems has often meant that the importance of other scales goes unrecognized or underappreciated. While each scale limitations, some system experts now assert benefits regional for its ability to foster a more sufficient, diverse, affordable, resilient system. This paper contributes this debate by exploring people's perceptions regionally produced foods. Seven focus groups were conducted with total 51 participants across four locations in U.S. Northeast....
Vibrio bacteria can accumulate in molluscan shellfish and cause human diseases. The United States (U.S.) has implemented Control Plans to mitigate risks associated with these bacteria, which include time temperature requirements for post-harvest processing maintaining an unbroken cold chain. In this study, we tracked the performance of chains U.S. farmed oysters distributed nationally internationally using sensors. Boxes bags (n = 125) were shipped from farms Washington State Chesapeake Bay...
Partnerships between U.S. universities and industries have existed for several decades in recent years become generally more varied, wider scope, aggressive experimental higher public visibility. In addition, the last few decades, private interests advocated government policies laws to globally promote commercialization of university science. This paper examines persistence or convergence two cultures science implications this university-industry relationships agriculture biotechnology. The...
Farmland protection and farm viability are two important aspects of urban-edge farming. Surveys landowners informant interviews were completed between 2005 2007 in 15 U.S. counties to examine the opportunities constraints that farmers face these areas. Landowners' perceptions about future outlook for their county's agriculture varied greatly. Many operators producing long-established crops, such as corn soybeans, rely heavily on wholesale markets sales. In other counties, depend a mix direct...
Following on my columns scale (fall 2012) and feedback loops (spring 2013), I want to turn another systems concept that is difficult sometimes risky, but one has be embraced if we are reach our goal of sustainable, resilient food systems. The governance, which in general understood as "managing, steering guiding public affairs by governing procedures institutions a democratic manner" (Pisano, Berger, Endl, & Sedlacko, 2011, p. 3). Governance resonance many different settings, two particular...
Temperature-controlled supply chains (cold chains) require an unbroken chain of refrigeration to maintain product quality and safety. This study investigated cold for farmed oysters raised in the Chesapeake Bay, one largest shellfish-growing regions United States, sold live half-shell market surrounding states. Temperature sensors were used boxes from February September 2017, which generated 5,250 h temperature data. Thirty-nine businesses participated sensor study, 26 those interviews...
Predictive models to forecast the likelihood of specific outcomes after surgical intervention allow informed shared decision-making by surgeons and patients. Previous studies have suggested that existing general risk calculators poorly head neck outcomes. However, no large study has addressed this question while subdividing subjects surgery performed.To determine accuracy American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) Risk Calculator in estimating length...
Objectives/Hypothesis The objective of this study was to demonstrate the impact preoperative education, patient risk stratification, and a postoperative pain management protocol for common head neck procedures on opioid prescribing patterns reporting. Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods A developed implemented patients undergoing surgical procedures. Medical charts were queried satisfaction surveys administered. Opioid evaluated in cohorts with anticipated mild (e.g.,...
Background Acute cannabis use is associated with a higher risk of motor vehicle crashes (MVC). This study aimed to determine if self-reported past-year MVC or traffic stops among older drivers.Methods cross-sectional analysis used data from multi-center enrolling active drivers aged 65-79 years. Data regarding use, MVC, and (i.e., being pulled over by police, whether ticketed not) within the previous 12 months were collected through participant interviews. Log-binomial regression models...
