Specialty crops are defined as fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops including floriculture. The value of specialty crop production in the United States accounted for 18.44 % of the $433.569 billion in agriculture cash receipts collected in 2021. In 2020, that ratio was 21.47% of the $363.464 billion. Specialty crops are gaining increasing attention across nation as demonstrated in the 2018 farm bill (Agricultural Act of the 2018 Farm Bill (P.L. 115-334)) with the increased number of provisions addressing specialty crop issues, reflecting their growing role in the global economy.

Free Download Adaptation Online: Creating Memes, Sweding Movies, and Other Digital Performances (Studies in New Media) by Lyndsay Michalik Gratch
English | September 5, 2017 | ISBN: 1498547419 | 150 pages | EPUB | 7.58 Mb
Adaptation Online: Creating Memes, Sweding Movies, and other Digital Performances explores how traditional notions of the processes and products of creative adaptation are evolving online. Using a performance lens and a shift in terminology from the metaphor of the cultural meme to the framing that adaptation affords, Lyndsay Michalik Gratch considers online adaptations in terms of creative process and human agency, rather than merely as products. This book offers a glossary of strategies for online adaptation that is useful not only for scholars in performance studies, but also for scholars of cinema, communications, and new media studies.

Free Download Igor Linkov, Todd S. Bridges, "Climate: Global Change and Local Adaptation"
English | 2011 | pages: 590 | ISBN: 9400717695 | PDF | 13,7 mb
Rising sea levels and altered weather patterns are expected to significantly alter coastal and inland environments for humans, infrastructure and ecosystems. Potential land-use changes and population increases, coupled with uncertain predictions for sea level rise and storm frequency/intensity represent a significant planning challenge. While efforts to mitigate climate change continue, plans must be made to adapt to the risks that climate change poses to humans, infrastructure, and ecosystems alike. This book addresses integrated environmental assessment and management as part of the nexus of climate change adaptation. Risk analysis has emerged as a useful approach to guide assessment, communication and management of security risks. However, with respect to climate change, an integrated, multi-criteria, multi-hazard, risk-informed decision framework is desirable for evaluating adaptation strategies. The papers in Part 1 summarize societal and political needs for climate change adaptation. Part 2 includes papers summarizing the state of the art in climate change adaptation. Three further parts cover: the process of change in coastal regions, in inland regions, and, finally, the potential challenges to homeland security for national governments. Each of these parts reviews achievements, identifies gaps in current knowledge, and suggests research priorities.

English | 2009 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 0826424643, 0826444563 | PDF | 0,8 mb
Adaptation in Contemporary Culture: Textual Infidelities seeks to reconfigure the ways in which adaptation is conceptualised by considering adaptation within an extended range of generic, critical and theoretical contexts. This collection explores literary, film, television and other visual texts both as ‘origins’ and ‘adaptations’ and offers new insights into the construction of genres, canons and ‘classics’. Chapters investigate both ‘classic’ and contemporary texts by British and American authors, from Jane Austen, Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens to Bret Easton Ellis, P.D James and Sarah Waters.

It introduces evidences from studies and projects which show how climate change adaptation is being – and may continue to be successfully implemented in African countries. Thanks to its scope and wide range of themes surrounding climate change, the ambition is that this book will be a lead publication on the topic, which may be regularly updated and hence capture further works.
