BMI View: The Australian agriculture sector is recovering from a decade of subdued production growth due to extreme weather and a lack of investment. The industry is expected to remain buoyant in 2013/14, largely supported by export demand from Asia and higher prices for grains and oilseeds. In the longer term, we see major export growth opportunities in the sugar and livestock sectors. Although Australia will face stiff competition from Asian countries such as Thailand for sugar, and from the US and Brazil for meat, the country will remain a key player in those industries. As well as growing competition in its own region, Australia will have to face high production costs and a vulnerability to extreme weather events.

The problem of water scarcity is rampant globally, creating the urgent need for water conservation. The use of micro irrigation systems is expected to result in increased crop yields in terms of volume and quality. The other important benefits of using micro irrigation systems include expansion in the area under irrigation, water conservation, optimum use of fertilizers and chemicals through water, and decreased labor costs among others. The worldwide population is increasing at a rapid rate and it is imperative that food supply keeps pace with this increasing population. Agriculture industry is adversely affected by a significant decrease in the ground water levels; hence, there is a need to locate efficient ways of supplying water to meet agricultural needs and conserve water for future use. Micro irrigation systems are the best option to achieve this purpose. It can be broadly categorized as sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation; center pivot irrigation, and lateral move irrigation are the other types of sprinkler irrigation that are currently gaining popularity. Drip irrigation is the most efficient method of irrigation, with efficiencies ranging between 90%-95%.

The joints carry the entire weight of the body. Additional weight places added pressure and strain on joints, oftentimes causing pain and discomfort. Even small reductions in weight can significantly affect the joints. With normal walking, joint forces in the hips and knees increase approximately 3 times that of one's weight. Simply put, this means that a person who is 15 pounds overweight increases the strain on the knees by approximately 45 pounds. Although thin people may also suffer from arthritis, and some heavy people may not; overall, research reveals a strong association between the development of arthritis and obesity. Studies also show that those with a high BMI (body mass index) tend to develop arthritis at a younger age and that undergoing joint replacement early in one's life may complicate treatment because the replacement is more likely to wear out in the patient's lifetime.

Flaxseed offers an abundance of health benefits essential in combatting a variety of diseases. In fact, some refer to flaxseed as one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. Preliminary studies show that flaxseed contains powerful Omega-3 essential fatty acids which aid in the prevention against a variety of diseases ranging from elevated cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease and even breast cancer and has gained a positive reputation for improving digestive health and relieving constipation. In accordance with the USDA’s health and nutrition guidelines, one ounce of flax provides 32% of the UDSA’s reference daily intake of fiber. Cultivated in Babylon as early as 3000 BC, King Charlemagne believed so strongly in the health benefits of flaxseed, that laws were passed requiring subjects to consume it. Flax helps to reduce blood clotting time, significantly reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
