over the past decade, organic agriculture has flourished around the nation. from 2015 to 2016, the number of organize anic -- certified organic farms increased. and the acres increased by 15% according to the usda. pennsylvania's been a leading state in organic agriculture with 800 farms across the commonwealth. organic is being supported in a variety of ways. through the pennsylvania certified organic, penn state activities, stakeholder organizations and the state department of agriculture, many are helping those who transfer to organic farming. and title 10 of the farm bill is the horticulture portion of the law which covers specialty crops, local and regional foods and organic agriculture. it included $34 million annually to organic producers. this supports the agriculture research and extension initiative. the national organic certification cost share program and national organic program and data initiative. the farm bill also authorizes the beginning farmers and ranchers program, the farmers market and local foods promotion program, the market access prog

night reading the tax code for fun, these organizations include social welfare, labor, and agriculture organizations, as well as chambers of commerce. this legislation went beyond what is required by the statute and thus beyond what congress wrote when requiring noncharity tax exempt organizations to disclose personal identifiable information, namely those who contributed $5,000 or mo to that particular -- to that particular welfare organization. these contributions are not tax deductible so the i.r.s. has less need for this information. and it's key to remember that the law generally requires the returns of tax-exempt organizations be made publicly available. taken together, this means that the i.r.s. has been forcing the collection of information it doesn't need that can easily get leaked out and cause problems for the i.r.s., the organizations, the individual donors, and the american people generally. as such, and in order to avoid these important privacy issues, the i.r.s. has had to spend very precious time and resources redacting this information. again, information that the agency did not nee

the international climate protection and development organization icimod began providing agricultural training to women in the region, giving priority to those whose husbands have left to find work. a project coordinator from a local ngo pays regular visits. today he's showing the women the correct way to plant tomatoes. roshan: we gather them in an area where we practically teach how to grow the plantsts, or hw they can change the chemical pesticides to the bio pesticides. so it's not about teaching them, it's about organizing demonstration projects, practicacal training, , organig field schools. so this is how we are training these womens. bimala: before, i wasn't all that interested in agriculture. and i only used traditional farming methods, which don't provide much income. after the first people left to find work, the ones left behind just sat idle. but now we understand agriculture, and we can put our time to good use. reporter: for many local dalits, the program has been a boon. the district administration believes that giving opportunities to the lowest caste is long overdue.

the food and agriculture culture organization of the united nations recognizes and i quote, climate change imperils the structure and function of already stressed coastal aquatic ecosystems. and for the record, mr. president, maine and rhode island are, indeed, aquatic. the oceans have absorbed approximately 30% of the excess carbon dioxide that we've pumped into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution. that is changing the ocean's chemistry. the oceans have also absorbed roughly 90% of the excess heat trapped in the atmosphere by those greenhouse gases. as a result of that excess carbon dioxide and that excess heat, our oceans are warming and they are rising and they are losing oxygen and they are growing more acidic. this puts marine life coastal communities and the global ocean economy all in jeopardy. commercial fishing is an important economy in the united states and both maine and rhode island celebrate our longstanding fishing traditions. according to the national marine fishery service, over 9.6 billion pounds of wild seafood valued at around $9.3 billion was commercially la

for filing a challenge to china's domestic agricultural support levels at the world trade organization. when china unfairly subsidizes its producers or limits market access to u.s. wheat, corn, and rice, the u.s. is right to contest them and to contest them strongly and firmly. while i remain unconvinced that tariffs are the best tool to change china's behavior, it does not mean we should not pursue strong enforcement of global trade rules. i'm also concerned that picking a fight on trade with the rest of the world reduces our ability to win the fight with china, a country that is most deserving of strong trade actions from the united states. by attempting to take the whole world on at once, the u.s. risks spreading our resources thin and reducing our focus on changing china's practices. the u.s. is not the only country with complaints about china's trade practices, yet instead of working with our allies to influence china and change their behavior, we have forced confrontations with our other -- with other countries who ought to be buy our side -- by our side in dealing with china. i

agricultural products, minerals and consumer goods such as handbags will be affected. in the midst of it's a trade war with the united states, the chinese trade practices are up for review at the world trade organizationn 17 years since china joined the wto. china said it would lower its trade tariffs on imports and open its market access in several key areas of the economy, such as agriculture, manufacturing and services sector. beijing promised to do a betterjob of protecting intellectual property rights. in exchange, china got access to the world's markets under better trade terms and along the way, grew to be the world's second largest economy. in addition, it was expected china would be recognised as a"market economy" by 2016. but that has not happened. our chief analyst explains why the us and the eu have blocked granting the chinese economy that status. although china has already done progress in a number of areas to reform and open up its economy, it is still lagging behind, especially on the intellectual property rights area, where china has now been enforcing the laws in place completely. that doesn't really deserve a market economy status. but on the flip side, does china really wa nt to on

organization. it's not actually natural in the sense that we talk about. it comes after the agricultural revolution because when we live in the tribes, the sleeves were a heavy resource you took the women and children may be that there wasn't a lot of slavery when you couldn't put them to work. it comes to the agricultural revolution. but since then, there've been a lot of slavery and what people don't seem to understand is the reason we should be horrified and teach about slavery in america is because of the grotesque hypocrisy we preach to all of us being equal in the eyes of god all men are created equal and so the reason we should teach about it is that hypocrisy illuminates the idea and instead what we did today is the argument that the ideal is self was oppressive and this idea that there are lots of people who think it is somehow racist to quote martin luther king but we should judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. so in my telling, the amazing things about the founding is that they drop these algorithms and put them in writing that the lo

workers have their occupations, particularly in agriculture and daily staffed by immigrant work forced and spanish speaking workers. for example our organization represented two indonesian fishermen in a trafficking lawsuit in 2016. through our work and researching the fishing industry, we discovered a lot of fish that are available and bought locally are coming from exploited and traffic late borbased in hawaii and fishing out of hawaiian waters and in the san francisco waters and were in san francisco when they made escape and were able to find help. we want to encourage the baseline assessment to look at labor standards and consider the standards particularly in hidden industry like fishing. we know there is a federal loophole that allows for exploitation outside of the normal labor standards that exist. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon. jen jackson with san francisco department of environment. thank you for bringing this to all of us. i want to express our support on behalf of the department of environment. it dovetails nicely with the work you have done regarding antibiotics use in food animals. last year the board of supervisors

promote non-organic industrial farming which tends to use lots of fertilizers to boost crop yields with lasting effects on the soil in germany for example nearly twenty percent of agricultural land is so polluted with fertilizers that the groundwater contains nitrate levels above the legal limits one way or another we all live off the land but the question is who owns it benefits and is it being well tended. now if you were a little unlucky when drawing up the borders of your country and have had to go to the extreme of actually reclaiming the land from the sea you'll know it's a difficult and costly job with negative effects on the environment but if you want to get it right the netherlands are the world leaders in land reclamation. this sand bar breakwater on the coast of nigeria didn't exist a few weeks ago it's brand new. it's made out of sand dredged from the ocean floor. it's designed to protect a refinery bets to be built nearby. the project was developed by engineers from a dutch based company. scraping the coastline bears a great responsibility. there you touch people's lives you touch environment and nature and all these points have to be addressed so being a coas

the organic transition program funded at $6 million, the national organic program funded at $15 million and sustainable agriculture research and education program funded at $37 million. all of these are historic funding levels that demonstrate the committee's commitment to a vital and rapidly growing american industry. what else does this committee bill do? it supports funding for farm ownership and farm operating loans. with farm incomes on the decline, access to credit is crucial for farmers to stay in business. farm loans serve the most disadvantaged in the farming sector including farmers who are just starting out as well as ranchers, minorities, women, and veterans. i'm also pleased that we were able to include $150 million in funding for the watershed and flood prevention operations program to protect our watersheds and help prevent floods to reduce erosion and to protect wildlife habit at that s been theats. for domestic nutrition programs our bill maintains funding to provide access for food for low-income during the summer months when school is out of session. beyond that, the bill provides for $30 millio

in particular both organizations, eu isn't a country but whatever you want to call it, they love agriculture. we've got a lot of them too. >> yeah. this idea of the three zeros is, you know, it's a good idea it's not original. it's hard to get to for exactly the reason you said. the way you get there is you keep taking things off the table until there's little left. say okay we're not going to talk about agriculture. that's off the table we're not going to talk about gmos or geographical indications. we're not going to do this standard because it's too hard pretty soon you have very little left then you can reach an agreement. i hope it doesn't go that way. i hope they buckle down and actually focus on some of these health, safety, and environmental differences that have been dividing us for years that would save companies literally billions of dollars in cost savings and production savings if we both had the same standards. >> can you drill down into that? that is the hurdle for decades now. right? that they have certain impositions that they want to place on products. can you take one exam
