61. UCSB General Catalog - Donald Bren School Of Environmental Science And Managemen
    20042005 UC Santa Barbara general Catalog Donald Bren School of Environmental management of soil and water Quality (4) Keller Prerequisite ESM 222.  
    http://www.catalog.ucsb.edu/esm.htm
    
    Extractions: Dean: Dennis Aigner Contents: U In the past, the diverse disciplines addressing environmental issues have developed independently. Research and teaching have reached the point where significant progress requires weaving together elements of formerly disparate disciplines and blurring traditional boundaries. The School brings together a range of natural and social scientists to research important environmental questions. Moreover, because environmental issues arise in legal, political, and business contexts, the School's faculty also brings together law and business professors who provide perspectives from professional arenas. The Bren School continues to engage in a campaign of faculty recruitment and will appoint several new faculty members over the next few years. A guiding principle of the School is that the analysis of environmental problems requires quantitative training in more than one discipline and an awareness of the physical, biological, social, political, and economic decisions that arise from scientific or technological decisions. The Bren School incorporates this view of environmental science and management into its programs and equips students with the scientific knowledge and managerial skills necessary to meet growing environmental challenges. The Bren School strives to provide a truly interdisciplinary program that goes beyond mere coursework in several disciplines to form a coherently integrated program blending teaching, research, and real-world problems.

62. About Organic
    Organic farming management relies on developing biological diversity in the soil organic matter contributes to good soil structure and waterholding  
    http://www.ofrf.org/general/about_organic/
    
    Extractions: Yes. Organic food is as safe to consume as any other kind of food. Just as with any kind of produce, consumers should wash before consuming to ensure maximum cleanliness. As cited above, organic produce contains significantly lower levels of pesticide residues than conventional produce. It is a common misconception that organic food could be at greater risk of E. coli contamination because of raw manure application although conventional farmers commonly apply tons of raw manure as well with no regulation whatsoever. Organic standards set strict guidelines on manure use in organic farming: either it must be first composted, or it must be applied at least 90 days before harvest, which allows ample time for microbial breakdown of any pathogens. Is organic food really a significant industry?

    Extractions: Publications ACT NOW! (Internet newsletter) ACT was initiated in 1998 at a workshop on Conservation Tillage for Sustainable Agriculture convened in Harare by GTZ, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) , the southern and eastern Africa-based FARMESA, the Zimbabwe Farmers' Union and the South African Agricultural Research Council. It consists of practitioners (farmers) and promoters who believe that the adoption of conservation tillage principles and practices in Africa can not only reduce but can reverse the environmental degradation that is devastating the continent. Its purpose is to identify, develop, disseminate and promote sustainable land use and rural livelihoods through the adaptation and adoption of natural (such as soil and water) and other (such as fuel, energy, time and capital) conserving tillage practices in Africa. The objectives of the Network are to: create fora for, and stimulate the sharing of, the exchange of information and experiences among researchers, extensionists and practitioners, and encourage farmers increasingly to apply methods of soil and water conservation that are environmentally sound and economically viable;

70. Science In Mozambique: Opportunities For US Collaboration
    soil and water conservation practices are needed to prevent or minimize land Integrated water resources planning and management at the river basin level  
    http://www.aaas.org/international/africa/moz/menete.html
    
    Extractions: The Need for Collaborative Research on Environment, Soil, and Water Management for Sustainable Agriculture M.Z.L. Menete Mozambique’s economy is heavily dependent on the exploitation of the natural resource base. Richly endowed in terms of land, with a considerable amount of coal and natural gas, some strategic minerals, important fisheries, and substantial hydropower potential, its relatively small economy has a high potential for growth. An enabling environment for foreign private investment further enhances this growth potential. The primary sector of the country’s economy is agriculture, contributing about 25 percent of GDP and 60 percent of exports in 1996. The high level of absorption of the labor force also indicates the relevance of the agricultural sector to the economy. In 1990 83 percent of the work force was engaged in agricultural activities and only 8 percent in industry (Diogo, 1997). Agriculture is in fact the engine to attain food security, to reduce poverty and, therefore, to build a sound basis for sustainable management of natural resources. Emphasis on agricultural sustainability arises out of increasing awareness about the finite nature of arable land resources, the widespread problem of land degradation, the rapid deterioration of environmental quality, and the vicious cycle of low crop yields, malnutrition, and famine.

It aims at bringing together scientists from various disciplines dealing with land use and soil and water management in tropical mountain areas. The main objectives of the symposium are: To exchange information and scientific findings on the effects of land use change on soil and water processes in tropical mountain areas in a broad sense. To identify the gaps in our knowledge and understanding of the response of soil and water dynamics in tropical ecosystems to land use change. To formulate research strategies and guidelines that will allow advancing our understanding of the response of soil and water processes to land use change in tropical mountain areas.

72. Best Management Practices-Soil & Water Conservation
    Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent theirundue mixing. These measures are known as Best management Practices or BMPs.  
    http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/forestry/bestprac.htm
    
    Extractions: Note: This is the second in a series of forestry-related articles to promote proper forestry practices, forestry education, and forestry extension. The series will also speak to some of the misconceptions about forestry. Forestry activities, particularly harvesting, can have serious consequences on soil and water quality. Any good forester is concerned about these impacts. Measures can be taken to preserve soil and water quality and to prevent their undue mixing. These measures are known as Best Management Practices or BMPs. Any activities that involve heavy machinery on mountainous or rolling terrain require cutting roads. Skid roads are used to move logs from stump to log desk by bulldozers and skidders (specially adapted, articulated four-wheel drive tractors). Haul roads are used to move logs from the log deck to the public road. When the roads are built, bare mineral soil is exposed. When soil is exposed, soil or sediment can be moved by the force of water. When sediment moves, it moves toward a stream. The purpose of implementing Best Management Practices is to minimize soil movement, particularly movement into a stream.

    http://www.catalogs.umn.edu/ug/cnr/cnr11.html
    
    Extractions: Academic Calendars College of Natural Resources (CNR) : Catalog Web Site E-mail Sustainable development of land and water resources requires an understanding of the connections between land management and water resources. Land management affects the quantity and quality of water and the long-term productivity of the soil. Water resource use and development affects the use and management of land resources. This area of specialization provides students with the background to understand these connections and the skills to organize and guide land and water resource use in order to manage multiple resources in an environmentally sound manner. Emphasis is on informed decision making; ecological approaches to water resource management; water movement, storage and the hydrologic cycle; preventing land degradation, soil erosion, and adverse impacts on resources. Students must choose one of the following sub-specializations (tracks): hydrology water resources conservation , or water quality Students completing the hydrology track will be eligible for state and federal certification as professional hydrologists. They can serve as hydrologists or water resource managers for local watershed districts; county, state and national governmental units; international organizations; and private consulting firms.
