The only previous U.S. case, confirmed in December 2003, was in a dairy cow that had been imported from Canada, where three other cases have been found. Even that 2003 case involving an imported animal prompted some 50 nations to ban U.S. beef imports.In the year before the ban, Taiwan imported more than $76 million in American beef and beef products, according to the Agriculture Department.While Johanns would not say where the cow turned up, he said there was no evidence it was imported.Johanns said the new case was no surprise, given that the department is testing about 1,000 cattle a day.

The developed world has a love affair with refrigeration that spreads way beyond the domestic chiller: It the backbone of the world food supply industry, keeping food fresher for far longer than mother nature intended. But it could be about to ruin us. Nicola Twilley has written a wonderful feature for Modern Farmerabout the dangers of mass refrigeration, and how easily it can be affected by extreme weather event

Twilley cites, for example, how 26 million pounds of chicken rotted at New Orleans Cold Storage when Hurricane Katrina struck; and how thousands of dollars ; worth of fresh food went to waste when Hurricane Sandy hit. Note that 70 percent of America food supply is refrigerated at some point between origin and dinner table, and it easy to see that if m

So, what to be done As Twilley points out, experts are just now coming to grips with the issue, with the city of New York only kicking off a project to work out what the weak links are in its food supply chain this very year. Ultimately, though, less predictable extreme weather events demand less reliance on refrig
