Agriculture product utilization

The second topic addressed is that of the American farmer. The remarks of one farmer at the Com Utilization Conference in November, 1988 (Columbus, Ohio) defined the situation "The soil and rainfall on my farm in Colorado are not good enough to compete with those in South America we have to find new applications for agricultural products". Perhaps because he was not a traditional farmer (he had entered farming as a result of land acquisitions and resigned from a marketing position with an electronics company), he clearly saw the marketing need. One of the objectives of the annual Corn Utilization...

Utilization of solar energy Antibiotics are produced by utilizing agricultural products which are obtained from biological photosynthetic conversion of solar energy. The production of antibiotics does not much consume the stored energy such as oil and coal. 

The situation of biomass energy in Japanese society is different from that in western countries to some degree. In western countries, biomass energy is tied to the utilization of surplus agricultural products. On the other hand, in Japan, local utilization of organic waste is brought into focus, because of difficulty of intensive production of energy crops.

A serious difficulty in afforestation arises in ensuring the preservation of the land. The development of the land is strongly restricted by the policies and traditions of the nation and the community. Involved in many developing countries, food shortage has become a serious problem due to the increasing population. This means that much land must be utilized for agricultural production rather than for afforestation. This is why arid land must be considered for afforestation. The most essential and serious problem in afforestation of arid land is the difficulty in maintaining a water supply. 

Three major advances have moved the technique closer to equal utility with chromatographic methods for release testing. The first advance was the development of suitable hardware. While useful for food and agricultural products, early interference type filter instruments and scanning grating monochromators were neither sensitive nor quiet (instrument noise, not operating noise) enough for certain pharmaceutical applications. The development of stable, sensitive, and precise...
