Feeding The Future Meat Doesn’T Come Cheap, Lukas C. Southard

Capstones

Meat from animal cells grown in a lab seems like science fiction but it is around the corner from hitting your supermarket shelves.

Re-Integrating Crops And Livestock In Maine: An Economic Analysis Of The Potential For And Profitability Of Integrated Agricultural Production, Aaron K. Hoshide

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines the profitability of and sustainability indicators for potato and dairy farms in Maine integrating crops and livestock in two different ways. The first is inter-farm coupling, where two or more specialized producers are close enough to exchange manure applications for crops used as livestock feed. Land base is shared between farmers. The second is where farms are on-farm integrated. Here crops and livestock are raised on the same farm and manure is applied to cash crops and livestock feed crops. Face-to-face interviews with Maine producers were used to construct integrated and non-integrated representative budgets. Assuming …
