So in the pharmaceutical sector the level of acceptance for GM animal applications is higher, ranging from 83% in developing coun- tries to 70% in Japan (Devlin et al., 2009), because of the expected advantages and the different array of political actors (Vàzquez-Salat and Houdebine, 2013). keywords: acceptance; adoption; animals; applications; benefits; consumer; et al; fish; food; gm animals; health; human; pharmaceutical; production; products; research; transgenic; welfare cache: bae-3231.pdf plain text: bae-3231.txt item: #65 of 208 id: bae-3232 author: Matthews, Alan title: Greening agricultural payments in the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy date: 2013-03-10 words: 14268 flesch: 45 summary: 17Greening agricultural payments in the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy sion had the choice to emphasise either greening Pillar 1 (by raising the cross compliance threshold or otherwise adding environmental conditions to part or all of direct payments) or to further modulate funds from Pillar 1 to Pillar 2 with a view to expanding the scale of AEMs. Assessment of CAP environmental measures This section briefly evaluates the experiences to date with the different CAP instru- ments to target environmental objectives. keywords: cap; commission; compliance; council; environment; european; farmers; farming; greening; land; measures; member; payments; pillar; policy; production; reform; standards; states; support; use cache: bae-3232.pdf plain text: bae-3232.txt item: #66 of 208 id: bae-3233 author: Dwyer, Janet title: Transformation for sustainable agriculture: what role for the second Pillar of CAP? date: 2013-03-27 words: 9487 flesch: 45 summary: Models for policy innovation adapted from experience in commercial organisa- tions are suggested as worthy of further research.

This highlights a very important aspect of culture as relat- ed with food and probably of the future of food systems, which is their growing embedding in social systems that are geographically organised in connection with ecosystems. keywords: agri; characteristics; culture; economics; ecosystem; et al; food; issue; landscape; role; services; supply; systems cache: bae-9959.pdf plain text: bae-9959.txt item: #208 of 208 id: bae-9992 author: Kehinde, Mojisola O.; Shittu, Adebayo M.; Ogunnaike, Maria G.; Oyawole, Funminiyi P.; Fapojuwo, Oluwakemi E. title: Land tenure and property rights, and the impacts on adoption of climate-smart practices among smallholder farmers in selected agro-ecologies in Nigeria date: 2022-07-20 words: 9171 flesch: 56 summary: Thus, the observed outcome of CSPs adoption can be modelled following a random utility-based estimation framework.
