Which of These Four Areas is a Wetland?

Poster reads: Q: Which of these 4 areas is a wetland? A: All four. An area doesn\u27t need to have standing water to be considerd a wetland. History of drainage, soil type and other factors are considered. To stay eligible for USDA programs, know the status of wetlands on your land.https://digitalcommons.cwu.edu/government_posters/1031/thumbnail.jp

Natural resources conservation management and strategies in agriculture

This paper suggests a holistic framework for assessment and improvement of management strategies for conservation of natural resources in agriculture. First, it incorporates an interdisciplinary approach (combining Economics, Organization, Law, Sociology, Ecology, Technology, Behavioral and Political Sciences) and presents a modern framework for assessing environmental management and strategies in agriculture including: specification of specific “managerial needs” and spectrum of feasible governance modes (institutional environment; private, collective, market, and public modes) of natural resources conservation at different level of decision-making (individual, farm, eco-system, local, regional, national, transnational, and global); specification of critical socio-economic, natural, technological, behavioral etc. factors of managerial choice, and feasible spectrum of (private, collective, public, international) managerial strategies; assessment of efficiency of diverse management strategies in terms of their potential to protect diverse eco-rights and investments, assure socially desirable level of environmental protection and improvement, minimize overall (implementing, third-party, transaction etc.) costs, coordinate and stimulate eco-activities, meet preferences and reconcile conflicts of individuals etc. Second, it presents evolution and assesses the efficiency of diverse management forms and strategies for conservation of natural resources in Bulgarian agriculture during post-communist transformation and EU integration (institutional, market, private, and public), and evaluates the impacts of EU CAP on environmental sustainability of farms of different juridical type, size, specialization and location. Finally, it suggests recommendations for improvement of public policies, strategies and modes of intervention, and private and collective strategies and actions for effective environmental protection

CONSERVATION OF NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCES IN INDIA

This study finds that the consumption of minerals and oil reserves of India has grown several times faster than the GNP. This has reduced the estimated reserves of several Non-renewable Resources (NRRs), whose estimated life spans in India vary from 9 to 47 years. It uses the Liontief Input Output tables to decompose the gross demand for NRRs, and finds that private consumption expenditure is responsible for nearly half of their demand, followed by investment (28%), and exports (12%). However, the NRR intensity per rupee of expenditure is twice as high in investments and exports when compared to private consumption. Imports meet about half of the demand for NRRs in the Indian Economy. Direct imports of NRRs which were about 28% of total imports in 1989-90, satisfied about 35% of the total demand for NRRs in the Indian Economy. Other imports had an NRR content which met about 11% of the total NRR demand. In general, the NRR intensity of non-NRR imports is much higher than the NRR intensity of exports, indicating that India's foreign trade conserves Non-renewable resources on the whole. Looking at the different industrial sectors, it is found that the demand for NRRs is highly skewed, with about half of the total demand for NRRs being accounted for by three sectors, and 86% of the NRR demand being due to only nine sectors. Any strategy aiming to conserve non-renewable resources should concentrate on these sectors. Consumption expenditure in about 20 sectors of consumption was more NRR intensive (per rupee spent at 1989- 90 prices) than others. Likewise, exports in about 11 sectors were more NRR intensive than the average. An economic strategy to conserve non- renewable resources would do well to attempt to reallocate expenditures and exports away from these sectors to other sectors that are less NRR intensive.non-renewable resources, conservation, Liontief Input Output Tables, exponential reserve index, Indian economic growth, life span, Liontief Inverse, limits to growth
