Take a look at how the United States government helps the farmers whose businesses were severely affected by the pandemic. The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program was recently fueled with an extra $ 6 billion directed to small-scale producers. Read also about other funds which include $ 20 million under the HEROES act for farmers and ranchers and $ 500 million dedicated to purchasing surplus milk.

Additional help for pandemic-hit producers


An additional $6 billion will reach American farmers whose businesses sustained pandemic-induced loss. USDA recently announced these extra funds to be fueled to the already existing Coronavirus Food Assistance Program but this time targeting also smaller-scale producers and disadvantaged companies. The program was launched in April 2020, but ongoing market instability calls for further measures to be implemented. The new initiative is deemed Pandemic Assistance for Producers under which the help will be directed at previously omitted producers. This includes $500 million in funds for accelerated support through already existing initiatives. Dairy farmers can apply for aid through the Dairy Donation Program which connects dairy goods with consumers in demand. Over 410,000 cattle producers can also be granted additional payments for which USDA anticipated around $1.1 billion.

Additional initiatives


In May 2020, USDA had already estimated the losses of dairy producers at $8.2 billion – a number that has only been growing ever since. The state acted quickly and introduced relief plans for American farmers such as the Families Food Box Program under which USDA initiated the purchase of dairy products for the estimated value of $317 million. The dairy foodstuffs reached food banks and non-profit organizations. Under the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act or HEROES Act, $20 million will be provided to strengthen the support for farmers and ranchers while $500 million will be used to purchase the milk and direct the products to non-profit entities.

Technische Aspekte

Milchsäure gehört zur Gruppe der Alpha-Hydroxysäuren (AHAs). Im menschlichen Körper bildet sich Milchsäure in den Muskelzellen und den roten Blutkörperchen, wenn der Körper einer intensiven Belastung ausgesetzt ist. Dies führt zu einem niedrigen Sauerstoffgehalt aufgrund des Abbaus von Kohlenhydraten. Sie spielt eine wichtige Rolle als Nährstoff und zentraler Metabolit für viele Organismen.

 


Anwendungen

Milchsäure findet zahlreiche Anwendungen in der Lebensmittel- und Pharmaindustrie, insbesondere in Frostschutzmitteln, Bioziden und Weichmachern. Sie ist in Milch, Joghurt, aber auch in verschiedenen eingelegten Produkten, fermentiertem Soja, Bier und Fleisch enthalten. In der Kosmetikindustrie sorgt es für eine glatte, ebenmäßige und straffe Haut und verhindert die Bildung von Falten und dunklen Flecken. Es hilft bei der Erneuerung der Hautzellen, aber auch bei der Entfernung von abgestorbenen Hautzellen auf der Epidermis.
