Evaluating Animal Agriculture Impacts On Water Quality: Data Gaps In West Central Minnesota Case Study, Ed Brands Apr 2015

Evaluating Animal Agriculture Impacts On Water Quality: Data Gaps In West Central Minnesota Case Study, Ed Brands

Environmental Studies Publications

Balancing the economic and food system contributions of animal agriculture with negative impacts such as water quality degradation has been a recurring question in Minnesota and other agricultural states (e.g., Iowa and North Carolina). Over the past 15 years significant federal- and state-level changes in the regulation of animal feeding operations (AFOs) and associated practices have attempted to improve water quality. The impacts of these changes are unclear; therefore, the main purpose of this project was to evaluate policies designed to protect water quality from manure runoff and spills within the context of a manageable geographic area. Project work was …

The Land-Grant Movement And Its Influence On Scientific Agriculture In Minnesota, Bill W. Kennedy Jan 1962

The Land-Grant Movement And Its Influence On Scientific Agriculture In Minnesota, Bill W. Kennedy

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Agriculture is the most basic of all human enterprises. Quantity and quality, as related to food production, are founded upon principles of science; a situation whereby man can use his own ingenuity to instrument selected benefits by modifying the course of nature. History provides evidence of a correlation between development of a primitive agriculture and a numerical increase in human population. Furthermore, records of the past show that food supplies have delimited man's geographic distribution, frequently have directed the policies of his government, and ultimately have seemed to mark the boundaries of his social progress. In modern times the United …
