The mineral composition of crops with particular reference to the soils in which they were grown : a review and compilation / by Beeson, Kenneth C.(Kenneth Crees),1903-1998.(CARDINAL)306045;
Introduction. pp. 1 -- Some soil characteristics cited in relation to the occurrence of certain nutritional diseases of man and animals. pp. 4 -- Factors affecting the mineral composition of plants. pp. 22 -- Literature cited. pp. 59 -- Sources of unpublished material. pp. 91 -- Appendix: Tables of crop composition. pp. 92.The nutritional value of such inorganic elements as calcium, phosphorus, iodine, copper, and iron has been demonstrated by many investigators, and it is generally recognized that quantitative variations of these elements in foods and feeds are important factors in human and animal health. These and other mineral elements, especially those occurring in trace amounts, are receiving greatly increased attention in both popular and scientific literature dealing with soils, fertilizers, plant growth and composition, food quality, and animal and human health and nutrition.Includes bibliographical references (pages 59-90)."Sources of unpublished material": page 91.

The farm bill : a citizen's guide / by Imhoff, Dan,author.(CARDINAL)276800; Badaracco, Christina,author.(CARDINAL)797508;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Farm bill basics. What is the farm bill? -- Why does the farm bill matter? -- Who benefits from the farm bill? -- How does the farm bill work? -- The history of food policy. Origins of the farm bill -- The changing face of agriculture -- The changing face of hunger -- The conservation era -- Key policy issues. Crop subsidies -- Nutrition, SNAP, and healthy eating -- Agribusiness versus family farms -- Job creation -- Trade -- An alternative system -- Reforming the farm bill. Opportunities for change -- Public health -- Food security -- Ethanol -- Energy and climate change -- Conservation -- National security -- The future of food policy. Ecosystem-based agriculture -- Local food -- A citizen's farm bill -- Twenty-five solutions -- A vision of sustainable food."The farm bill is one of the most important pieces of legislation the American president signs. Negotiated every five to seven years, it has tremendous implications for food production, nutrition assistance, habitat conservation, international trade, and much more. Yet at nearly 1,000 pages, it is difficult to understand for policymakers, let alone citizens. In this primer, Dan Imhoff and Christina Badaracco translate all the "legalese" and political jargon into an accessible, graphics-rich 200 pages. Readers will learn the basic elements of the bill, its origins and history, and perhaps most importantly, the battles that will determine the direction of food policy in the coming years. The authors trace how the legislation has evolved, from its first incarnation during the Great Depression, to today, when America has become the world's leading agricultural powerhouse. They explain the three main components of the bill--farm subsidies, food stamps or SNAP, and conservation programs--as well as how crucial public policies are changing. With a new farm bill just signed into law, we all need to understand the implications of food policy. What's the impact of crop insurance? How does SNAP actually work? What would it take to create a healthier, more sustainable food system? These are questions that affect not only farmers, but everyone who eats. If you care about the answers, The Farm Bill is your guide." --Publisher's description.

It traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Although they didn't know each other, their individual research led to startlingly similar conclusions: degenerative diseases could usually be prevented--and in many cases reversed--by adopting a whole food, plant-based diet. Despite the profound implications of their findings, their work has remained relatively unknown to the public. The filmmakers explore the ancient idea of food as medicine, following "reality patients" who have adopted a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments.MPAA rating: Rated PG as some material may not be suitable for children, some thematic elements and incidental smoking.Digital video disc.System requirements:
