Extractions: Anti-Dumping ... Links When the Cancun Ministerial Conference collapsed in September 2003, WTO members had made no progress in agriculture negotiations. Decisions on major issues such as export subsidies, trade access, and domestic support hang in the balance as trade delegates scramble to get negotiations back on track. The Chairman of the General Council has renewed negotiations through a series of General Council meetings in Geneva in which trade delegates will plan the timely conclusion of the Doha Round that was initially set for 2005. Cancun and Beyond Instead of bringing delegates closer to an agreement, they seemed more polarized than ever at the Ministerial Conference. Leading up the meeting, developing countries and agriculture exporting countries, such as the Cairns Group , demanded that developed nations move to liberalize their markets by phasing out export subsidies and massive domestic supports, both of which distort trade in agriculture products. The developed countries, specifically the US, EU, and Japan, are reluctant to remove these supports because of concerns for the social and environmental consequences of an open agriculture market. Particularly in the US and EU, the trade representatives also face pressure from strong agriculture lobbies who oppose the removal of the subsidies and supports that are the lifeline of the farming industry in those countries.

Extractions: AGRICULTURE Thailand Table of Contents Much of the impressive economic growth recorded by Thailand in the 1970s and the early 1980s was owed to the steady expansion of the agricultural sector. This sector provided adequate food for the rapidly growing population and produced substantial surpluses of some commodities for export. Agriculturecrops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries employed about three-quarters of the labor force, and it was estimated that some four-fifths of the total population was dependent on the sector for its livelihood. During the mid-1980s, agriculture accounted for an average of about 25 percent of GDP, and agricultural commodities accounted annually for over 60 percent of the value of all exports. The type of agriculture engaged inwhether cash crop, subsistence, or a combination thereofvaried from region to region and within regions. In the central plain, there were farmers whose sole activity was the raising of such cash crops as maize, sugarcane, vegetables, and fruit. In the rice bowl region of the central plain, farmers grew rice for sale as a main crop. Elsewhere, rice was raised basically for subsistence purposes, but many farmers also cultivated secondary crops for the market. In areas without developed access roads and services, such as parts of the upper Northeast, participation in the market economy was limited. Farmers in these areas practiced subsistence cultivation, selling only an occasional surplus locally.

Organic Agriculture Erosion Global Warming Climate Weather Chemical agricultural practices are contributing to global warming, climate change, weather pattern disruption, erosion, and starvation. http://supak.com/end/organic_agriculture.htm
Extractions: Hawaii Modern agriculture has given the once proud abbreviation agri a bad name. Chemical agricultural practices, using petroleum to supply essential plant nutrients, has become conventional farming, while organic farmers and organic farms that practice permaculture and alternative food production, are still considered outside the mainstream. Chemical agricultural parctices release nitrous oxide into the atmosphere and cause erosion, contributing to the geometric progression of global warming and climate change. This further damages our food supply.
