This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Team Test tube propositions, Decreases risk of GHD, normalizes blood pressure, skin health, enhances vitamin/mineral intake Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment, Subsidize wtih $400 billion 4. Farmers committed to the local economy, 4. Farmers committed to the local economy Stimulates local economy, Limited fertilizer/pesticide use ???? Reduced GHG emission, mitigates "dead zone" eutriphication effect, 3. Grass-fed Cattle Farmers Reduce corn demand (for corn feed), Subsidize wtih $400 billion 1. Fruit and Vegetable Farmers, -Fosters community relationships/ community building -greater accountability between producers/consumers, reduces risk associated with negligent farming practices (ie "Kevin's Law" advocacy) Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment, 2. Farmers committed to environmentally sustainable practices: -crop rotation -green manure -biological pest control -use of compost ???? Limited fertilizer/pesticide use, Cheaper available fruits and veggies ???? Decreases risk of GHD, normalizes blood pressure, skin health, enhances vitamin/mineral intake, Subsidize wtih $400 billion 2. Farmers committed to environmentally sustainable practices: -crop rotation -green manure -biological pest control -use of compost, Health and Economic Benefits: -grass fed meat has lower fat and lower caloric content -higher CLA and omega-3 fatty acids -80% less E.coli than corn fed cattle -works to prevent "Western diease" -reduces health care demand/costs Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment, Healthier food Ex: Organic strawberries have higher antioxidant activity, longer shelf-life, and better flavor Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment, 3. Grass-fed Cattle Farmers Higher quality, more affordable meat, Higher quality, more affordable meat ???? Health and Economic Benefits: -grass fed meat has lower fat and lower caloric content -higher CLA and omega-3 fatty acids -80% less E.coli than corn fed cattle -works to prevent "Western diease" -reduces health care demand/costs, 1. Fruit and Vegetable Farmers Cheaper available fruits and veggies, Reduced GHG emission, mitigates "dead zone" eutriphication effect Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment, 2. Farmers committed to environmentally sustainable practices: -crop rotation -green manure -biological pest control -use of compost ???? Healthy Soil: -carbon sequestration -microbial biomass -enzyme activities -micronutrients -nitrogen, Stimulates local economy ???? -Fosters community relationships/ community building -greater accountability between producers/consumers, reduces risk associated with negligent farming practices (ie "Kevin's Law" advocacy), Healthy Soil: -carbon sequestration -microbial biomass -enzyme activities -micronutrients -nitrogen ???? Healthier food Ex: Organic strawberries have higher antioxidant activity, longer shelf-life, and better flavor, Reduces environmental impact of monoculture production (corn&soy): -soil erosion -GHG emissions -fertilizer "dead-zone" effect Greater Sustainability -Communities -Economy -Environment
