The US animal insurance program: Rapid expansion at a growing cost to taxpayers por Glauber, Joseph W.

“…Despite this expansion, these liabilities are still only about 10 percent of the $136 billion in total liability for all crop policies in 2021.1 Nevertheless, the recent rapid growth in participation in the federal livestock program raises concerns that the cost to taxpayers of insuring livestock may far exceed what the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecasted when the expenditure cap was removed from the program. …”

The enabling environment is improving, but not quickly enough por International Food Policy Research Institute

“…Programs to address micronutrient deficiencies have been increasing in number, type, and scale in recent years, creating an ever-growing need to understand their combined coverage levels, costs, and impacts so as to more effectively combat deficiencies, avoid putting individuals at risk for excess intakes, and ensure the efficient use of public health resources.To analyze combinations of the two current programs—sugar fortification and Child Health Week (CHW)—together with four prospective programs—vegetable oil fortification, wheat flour fortification, maize meal fortification, and biofortified vitamin A maize—to identify Zambia's optimal vitamin A portfolio.Combining program cost estimates and 30-year Zambian food demand projections, together with the Zambian 2005 Living Conditions Monitoring Survey, the annual costs, coverage, impact, and cost-effectiveness of 62 Zambian portfolios were modeled for the period from 2013 to 2042.Optimal portfolios are identified for each of five alternative criteria: average cost-effectiveness, incremental cost-effectiveness, coverage maximization, health impact maximization, and affordability. …”

Influence of Field Environment and Fertilizer Management on Ammonia Loss From Flooded Rice por Fillery, I. R. P., Simpson, J.R., De Datta, S.K.

“…In contrast to the AT studies, floodwater pH at PI did not exceed 8.0 to 8.3. Apparently, shading of the floodwater by the rice canopy lowered the photosynthetic activity of the aquatic biomass and thus reduced the degree of CO2 depletion and the potential for NH3 loss. …”
