ABSTRACT Food-borne diseases are a threat to human health and can cause severe economic losses. Nowadays, in a growing and increasingly interconnected world, food-borne diseases need to be dealt with in a global manner. In order to tackle this issue, it is essential to consider all possible entry routes of human pathogens into the production chain. Besides the post-harvest handling of the fresh produce itself, also the prevention of contamination in livestock and agricultural soils are of particular importance. While the monitoring of human pathogens and intervening measures are relatively easy to apply in livestock and post-harvest, the investigation of the prevention strategies in crop fields is a challenging task. Furthermore, crop fields are interconnected with livestock via fertilizers and feed; therefore, a poor hygiene management can cause cross-contamination. In this review, we highlight the possible contamination of crop plants by bacterial human pathogens via the rhizosphere, their interaction with the plant and possible intervention strategies. Furthermore, we discuss critical issues and questions that are still open.

The Impact

Developing sustainable production systems based on the disease resistant apple cultivars (DRACs) and IPM techniques is a key objective of this multidisciplinary project involving 19 principle investigators across 5 cooperating institutions. Cultivar selection is a crucial decision for an apple grower which will impact the farm's competitiveness and profitability for many years. Factors that growers consider when deciding what cultivars to plant include consumer acceptance and marketability; winter hardiness; yield potential; fruit storage qualities, color, taste, and size; and potential pest management problems. These factors are being researched in this project. Disease resistant orchards will undoubtedly present new economic considerations to growers, wholesalers, and processors. A further objective is to provide economic analyses of alternative techniques and to forecast the impact of changes in production systems on the Northeast apple industry. Apple growers must have access to research-generated information that addresses the critical issues facing them Rapid information dissemination is a high priority of this project. The Northeast Sustainable Apple Production Newsletter has over 1200 active subscribers across the United States and in 7 foreign countries. The Management Guide for Low-Input Sustainable Apple production has been well received and continues to be requested world-wide.

This article summarizes development of the Azurite field as a way of providing context for evolution of the Floating, Drilling, Production, Storage and Offloading (FDPSO) concept. It also reflects on the project’s technical and economic drivers that led the Azurite project team to select the FDPSO concept. The paper also highlights other application for FDPSOs and discusses some of the key variables that determine the suitability of the FDPSO concept for use in field developments. The step change in economics afforded by the incorporation of a drilling rig onboard a conventional FPSO brings new hope to fields of similar geometry and in similar environments that heretofore were considered marginally economic or uneconomic. The FDPSO concept also has application as an early production system, in advance of full-field developments. The concept has tremendous potential as a ‘game changer’ for field developments, whether it is employed to unlock the value of marginal fields in deepwater – even in a low oil price environment – or as an early production system. As the concept employs a drilling rig onboard the vessel, traditional challenges regarding deepwater drilling rig day rates and availability are eliminated.

Floating early production systems (FEPS) are becoming more important to the successful exploitation of Australia's deep water oil and gas. Importantly, FEPS help oil and gas operators reduce deep water full field development risk, as uncertainty in the reservoir characteristics are reduced by obtaining dynamic data (that is, partially producing some of the reservoir). This paper will present a review of existing FEPS that are now in use or have previously been in use worldwide and will discuss where they are headed in the future. The paper focuses on: The selection of the floating and subsea-vessel, mooring, riser, mechanical connection, etcetera; Technology presently available; and, Addressing the requirements in situations where new floating and subsea technology is needed. The qualification limits of existing technology will be discussed in the context of what systems are ready and off-the-shelf for operators to make use of now. The choice of appropriate FEPS will be discussed as a function of: proximity to pipeline infrastructure, potential production rate, capability to re-inject associated gas, prevailing variation in year-round environmental conditions, waterdepth, and, geotechnical description of sea bottom. A high level conceptual case study showing typical costs for the implementation of a deep water FEPS will be presented as a way of understanding the potential upside and downside exposure for an operator considering undertaking a deep water FEPS program.
