  • The Citrus Industry in the Sunshine State
    The Citrus Industry in the Sunshine State
    From Arcadia Publishing:
    From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can be considered works of art today.

    Father and son authors Brian Weaver and Richard Weaver have compiled over 150 postcards to create a visual record of Florida's citrus industry. As you flip through these pages, you'll learn about the oranges and grapefruit that grace millions of breakfast tables each morning, as well as the people whose hard work goes into getting that fruit from the tree to the plate. Blended with personal reminiscences, this fascinating history provides readers with a guided tour of the groves, packing houses, and juice plants at the heart of one of Florida's most important industries.

  • Understanding the National Organic Standards: What Service Providers Need to Know
    Understanding the National Organic Standards: What Service Providers Need to Know

    The overall purpose of these training modules is to provide agricultural service providers with enough knowledge to answer questions regarding the National Organic Standards of the USDA's National Organic Program. The development of the eight modules was accomplished through the contributions of individuals from the University of Florida, University of the Virgin Islands, and Kentucky State University. Each module is designed to actively engage participants in gaining knowledge about the key concepts and important components of the regulations. The modules require participants to utilize resources that are particular to the organic regulations and developed by both the private and public sectors. It is our goal that at the end of the trainings, service providers will know the resources that are available to them and will feel comfortable using the resources and addressing the needs of their stakeholders.

    The CD includes readings. ISBN 10: 0-916287-68-8. ISBN 13: 978-0-916287-68-9.
