Methods Outbreak 58 Microsoft Access ® tables structured using systematic queries pivot by source, pathogen, date. Trends examined graphical representations, smoothing splines, Spearman’s rho rank correlations, non-parametric testing trend. Hazard Identification was conducted based on number severity illnesses. Results The evidence does not support increasing disease, though strongly observed other sources. Morbidity mortality dominated person-to-person transmission; accounted small portions burden. Foods representing greatest hazards associated with four major bacterial diseases identified. Fatal fruits, vegetables, peanut butter, pasteurized dairy.

Qualitative research related to humans, dairy cows, calves, and farming has been published by scientists from a variety of disciplines in many journals targeting science audiences. We aimed investigate how scientific communities other than those working describe, analyze, discuss farming, because we found it important bring this the attention scientists. In total, 117 articles were identified as involving one or more qualitative methods relation cattle. The review brought out wealth perspectives, new insights, discussions cattle, farmers, sector, societal issues food ecological landscapes.

Digital agriculture is generally depicted as a new technological frontier allowing both the efficiency and sustainability of agri-food sector to be increased through introduction innovative “green” cost-effective solutions. However, there still little empirical evidence on wider environmental socio-economic implications ongoing agricultural digitalisation processes. The paper makes point that political ecological process representing an important element uneven combined patterns capitalist development agriculture. At same time, practices inform are shaped by social, economic factors change according context. Starting from these premises, authors propose critical framework for equipping research digital with more comprehensive understanding local contexts, while also retaining economy perspective inspired concept “just transition”.
