Abstract The Viticulture and Enology Research Center at California State University, Fresno, is a current and historic driver of grape and wine research, with much of this research captured in internal reports rather than published articles. This case study details the method by which the V.E. Petrucci Library described and digitized this research grey literature collection. In addition to providing a workflow for other specialized commodity collections, this study discusses challenges encountered, including description of non-standardized documents and intellectual property concerns of grey literature. This case study also presents the value of describing and digitizing such collections for the agricultural community.

Abstract In this paper, we provide a review of the research dedicated to applications of data science techniques, and especially machine learning techniques, in relevant agricultural systems. Big data technologies create new opportunities for data intensive decision-making. We review works in agriculture that employ the practice of big data analysis to solve various problems, which reveal opportunities and promising areas of use. The high volume and complexity of the data produced pose challenges in successfully implementing precision agriculture. Machine learning seems promising to cope with agricultural big data, but needs to reinvent itself to meet existing challenges.

The United Nations launched the Decade of Family Farming (2019–2028) in recognition of the central importance of family farming to world food security; over 90% of the world’s farms are family-operated (United Nations General Assembly, 2018). Yet today, family farms throughout the world struggle to maintain solvency. The farm share of the average dollar a consumer spends on food is at all-time lows, 14.6% in 2017 in the United States and 21% in the European Union in 2011 (De Schutter, 2019; U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] Economic Research Service, 2019). At the same time, it is challenging for consumers in many areas to obtain high quality food, with limited food access in some areas, described as food deserts. Innovative strategies to connect family farmers with local consumers are addressing these needs. Community supported agriculture (CSA) is one strategy that is growing across the globe; it is the “only model of farming in which consumers deliberately agree to share the risks and benefits with farmers” (Urgenci, n.d.i). Founded by farmers in 2006, Urgenci: International Network of Community Supported Agriculture (urgenci.net) advocates for this innovative approach to support family farms and local food sovereignty.
联合国启动了家庭农业十年(2019-2028)，以认识到家庭农业对世界粮食安全的核心重要性;世界上90%以上的农场是家庭经营的(联合国大会，2018年)。然而今天，世界各地的家庭农场都在努力维持偿付能力。消费者在食品上花费的平均美元中，农业所占的份额处于历史最低水平，2017年美国为14.6%，2011年欧盟为21% (De Schutter, 2019;美国农业部(USDA)经济研究处，2019)。与此同时，许多地区的消费者很难获得高质量的食品，一些地区的食品供应有限，被称为食品沙漠。将家庭农民与当地消费者联系起来的创新战略正在满足这些需求。社区支持农业(CSA)是一种正在全球发展的战略;它是“唯一一种消费者有意同意与农民分享风险和利益的农业模式”(Urgenci, n.d.i)。由农民于2006年创建的“社区支持农业国际网络”(urgenci.net)倡导采用这种创新方法来支持家庭农场和地方粮食主权。

Abstract The U.S. Food Safety Modernization Act, administered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), requires animal feed and pet food facilities to conduct a hazard analysis by identifying and evaluating potential hazards in animal food. This paper describes the creation of an information tool designed to help animal food facilities comply with this requirement. A thorough search of the scientific literature and FDA recall data identified the occurrence of hazards in animal food, assessed the severity of the hazards, and provided a scoring system useful for the identification and prioritization of specific animal food-hazard-species combinations.

Abstract Information required by food security decision-makers is multidisciplinary and must be timely and accurate. A survey conducted in three Caribbean countries determined that e-resources are highly important; print, frequently used; and e-mail, used daily. There is a distrust of social media, and problems accessing reliable, local, up-to-date information. Some interviewees (33.3%) evaluated online resources and 95.0% consider access to food and agricultural information professionals an asset. Though 84.3% rated themselves as competent or better at finding information, 89.3% would attend information literacy training. The results reveal the need for improved information management systems and understanding of the workplace information environment.
