Once widely abundant, most subpopulations of the endangered Atlantic sturgeon are now estimated to be only 1–10% of their historical levels. The Edisto River has been sampled for a long period and extensively for juvenile Atlantic sturgeon from separate spring- and fall-spawned cohorts. Our objectives are to characterize the genetic diversity, stab...
A study of the effects of discharges from point and nonpoint sources near Greenville, South Carolina, on the water quality of the Reedy Rive was conducted from October 1979 through September 1989. Streamflow and water-quality data were collected at 17 stations October 4-8, 1979 and September 28-30, 1980.

... The core activity is composed by the first three parts of the system showed in Figure 2.1, that is, the input providing, producing, and processing sectors. Following Hughes (1995), Hughes in Carpio, Isengildina, and Hughes (2008), Deller (2004), and Rephann (2008), the multiplier-based impact analysis is limited to the three core components. This approach was based on the simplifying assumption that economic activity in food processing is primarily dependent on Horry County (NESA) production agriculture and wood, paper, and furniture products is primarily dependent on wood supplied by Horry County (NESA). ...

Based in part on the local foods movement and on concerns about shipping costs and carbon footprints, many food processors are looking to source locally or regionally. Milk-based value-added product processors currently in Tennessee (for example, ice cream manufacturers) might consider sourcing from a possible, new, in-state milk plant. Based on farmer survey data, dairy costs of production for Tennessee as reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and discussions with industry experts, an IMPLAN-based, hybrid input-output model is constructed with a focus on Tennessee milk production and processing. This model is used to draw inferences concerning the possible economic impact of a new milk plant on the state economy.
This study examines farmer-consumer interactions from the perspective of 30 Alabama farmers that are predominantly selling their produce directly to consumers via farmers’ markets, on-site sales, and roadside markets. The findings demonstrate that respondents are actively engaged in educating consumers in several ways; for instance, providing recommendations and food tastings, while those growers that are involved in agritourism are—whether consciously or unconsciously—also educating visitors about the farm and its produce. Clearly, the importance of direct sales may be a compelling argument for farmers to be involved in educational activities. However, given the current emphasis that government, consumer groups, and consumers themselves are placing on healthier diets and the social aspect of local food consumption, the future implications for food growers with regard to consumer education may extend beyond the sales aspect.
