The use of mixed species cropping to manage pests and diseases – theory and practice

This paper was presented at the UK organic research 2002 on behalf of colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR). Mixed species cropping is often perceived as a viable tool to increase on-farm biodiversity in organic agriculture and is a potentially important component of any sustainable cropping system. Apart from increasing total farm productivity, mixed species cropping can bring many important benefits such as improvement of soil fertility management and suppression of pests and/or diseases. In this sense it can be seen as performing different eco-services in the farm system. This paper discusses mixed cropping in this context while focusing on its potential and actual use as a tool to manage pests and diseases in organic farming systems

Meeting the Healthcare Needs of a Rural State

The question of how to provide timely and effective healthcare to residents of rural states is being discussed at both local and national levels. Idaho is included in these discussions because many of the state’s residents live in rural and frontier areas and have limited healthcare access. Telehealth, the use of technology to deliver healthcare remotely, has the potential to change the healthcare landscape throughout Idaho. Currently, the state is lacking a much-needed integrated telehealth system to deliver quality care in rural areas. This presentation will identify the many factors which create a need for telehealth services in Idaho. These findings will be contrasted with findings from states with a current integrated telehealth system. Finally, the presentation will conclude with an evaluation of the remaining obstacles to establishing a statewide-integrated telehealth system
