| Summary/Abstract |
Over fifty percent of the world's population is urbanized-living in cities- and cities almost entirely depend on imported food to meet daily needs. Different factors such as population growth, urbanization and increasing global demand for food are intensifying; urban agriculture is an important tool for enhancing food security in response to the food related restraints faced by city dwellers. Through a historical retrospective of urban agriculture to an analysis of current practices and policies, these article explores urban agriculture's potential ability to manage the lack of land and water in cities through the development of innovate growing techniques that optimize the access, quality, and quality of foods for millions of people in developing cities around the globe.

| Summary/Abstract |
The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) significantly overhauled the statutory tools used by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to meet its public health mandate, many of which had not changed for more than 70 years. The law focuses on preventing foodborne illness but also strengthens the agency`s ability to detect and respond to food safety issues from any source. Although none of the food safety episodes that (at least in part) prompted the law`s passage resulted from acts of terrorism, Congress included in FSMA a number of provisions intended to address the threat that terrorism could pose to the food supply. This article introduces 4 of those provisions, discusses the status of each one`s implementation, and offers a recommendation for addressing a major impediment to effective implementation of the law.

| Summary/Abstract |
The price of oil could play a significant role in influencing the expansion of biofuels, but this issue has yet to be fully investigated in the literature. Using a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this study analyzes the impact of oil price on biofuel expansion, and subsequently, on food supply. The study shows that a 65% increase in oil price in 2020 from the 2009 level would increase the global biofuel penetration to 5.4% in 2020 from 2.4% in 2009. If oil prices rise 150% from their 2009 levels by 2020, the resulting penetration of biofuels would be 9%, which is higher than that would be caused by current mandates and targets introduced in more than forty countries around the world. The study also shows that aggregate agricultural output drops due to an oil price increase, but the drop is small in major biofuel producing countries as the expansion of biofuels would partially offset the negative impacts of the oil price increase on agricultural outputs. An increase in oil price would reduce global food supply through direct impacts as well as through the diversion of food commodities and cropland towards the production of biofuels.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article presents a comparative macroeconomic analysis of the results of agricultural policy in the area of food security in Russia. China, and Japan. Russia has a lot more agricultural land - a factor of basic importance in food production - than its eastern neighbors China and Japan. China is the leader in terms of gross agricultural production, especially in cereal crops and grain legumes, stone fruits, berries, citrus fruits and grapes, vegetables, melons and gourds, as well as eggs. With respect to those products, China has complete self-sufficiency, but at the same time, the country experiences shortages in its own production of potatoes, meat, and milk. Japan cannot fully supply its own stone fruits, berries, citrus fruits and grapes, vegetables, melons and gourds, as well as meat and milk. Russia also has a shortage in its production of those products, with the exception of meat, of which it has ample supply. The average Russian citizen does not consume enough vegetables, melons and gourds, as well as milk and dairy products, for which there is a low level of self-sufficiency and economic accessibility in the country.
