Organic and Sustainable Agriculture News
Why $7-Per-Gallon Milk Looms Once Again
National Public Radio - 12/4/2013. By Tamara Keith, The Salt - The leaders of the House and Senate agriculture committees are meeting Wednesday as they continue to try to work out the differences between their respective farm bills. If they fail, the country faces what's being called the "dairy cliff" – with milk prices potentially shooting up to about $7 a gallon sometime after the first of the year.
BPA Sales Are Booming
Mother Jones - 12/3/2013. By Tom Philpott - Bisphenol A, a chemical used in can linings and plastic bottles, is pretty nasty stuff. Last year, the Food and Drug Administration banished it from baby bottles (at the behest of the chemical industry itself, after baby bottle producers had already phased it out under consumer pressure). BPA, as it's known, is an endocrine-disrupting chemical, meaning that it likely causes hormonal damage at extremely low levels. The packaging industry uses it to make plastics more flexible and to delay spoilage in canned foods.
Regulators shut down Gulf of Maine shrimp fishery, say stock has ‘collapsed’
Bangor Daily News - 12/3/2013. By Seth Koenig - Northeastern regulators shut down the Gulf of Maine shrimp fishery for the first time in 35 years Tuesday afternoon, worried by reports of what researchers called a fully “collapsed” stock that could be driven to near extinction with any 2014 catch.

By last week’s close of the public comment period on the FDA’s proposed regulations to implement the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), more than 20,000 farmers, concerned consumers and grassroots organizations had weighed in.
