Описание: This book explores the potential for policy reform as a short-term, low-cost way to sustainably enhance global food security. It argues that reforming policies that distort food prices and trade will promote the openness needed to maximize global food availability and reduce fluctuations in international food prices.
This study indicates that the agricultural production of Japan from 1873 to 1922 was higher than official records indicate, and that this higher rate of Japanese production was partially responsible for the swift economic growth of Japan.

Название: Production and Utilization of Fish Silage: A Manual on How to Turn Fish Waste Into Profit and a Valuable Feed Ingredient or Fertilizer ISBN: 9251305900 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251305904 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 19410.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: The processing of fish leads to a significant removal of fish parts, such as heads, bones, guts, etc. This manual will provide technical guidance on fish silage, a process that transforms fish waste into a liquid mix of hydrolysed proteins, lipids, minerals and other nutrients, easily digestible by both terrestrial and aquatic animals. Fish silage could make a difference in terms of: environmental impact, through reduced levels of waste; animal health; and economic gains, as waste is converted into a valuable product that can replace expensive feed ingredients or fertilizers.

Описание: This report updates the global assessment provided in the first report on The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, published in 2007. It focuses particularly on changes that have occurred during the period since the first report was published. It serves as a basis for a review, and potential update, of the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, which since 2007 has provided an agreed international framework for the management of livestock biodiversity.

Описание: Provides an introduction to irrigation. Agriculture is a major user of water resources and also contributes to water pollution from excess nutrients, pesticides and other pollutants. But the competition for water is increasing and the costs of water pollution can be high. The goal of irrigation management is to use water in the most profitable way at sustainable production levels.

With growing water scarcity in many parts of the world and projections that indicate the need to increase agricultural production and, concurrently, agricultural water use, it is increasingly advocated to focus efforts on improving agricultural water productivity and efficiency--and thus achieve more crop per drop. Many international organizations concerned with water management are also promoting these efforts, and significant public and private investments are being made in both developed and developing countries. Yet some serious problems are associated with this approach. They include conceptual issues, the methods used for measuring agricultural water productivity and efficiency, and the application of these concepts and methods in different contexts--all of which influence the choice of interventions and the evaluation of their implementation. The report aims to shed further light on these issues: first, by clarifying some of the underlying concepts in the discussion of agricultural water productivity and efficiency; second, by reviewing and analyzing the available methods for assessing water productivity and efficiency, including single-factor productivity measures, total factor productivity indices, frontier methods, and deductive methods; and, third, by discussing their application and relevance in different contexts. As a background for this analysis, the report highlights the central role of water use in irrigated agriculture and its link with increasing water scarcity. An underlying framework of the analysis is the view of the water economy transitioning from an expansionary to a mature phase. The report further develops this framework to reflect water management issues in irrigated agriculture. The framework is then applied to make the case that, with increasing water scarcity, the ongoing efforts for improving agricultural water productivity and efficiency need to move beyond crop per drop approaches, because they are in many circumstances an insufficient and sometimes counterproductive attempt to adapt agricultural water management to a maturing water economy.
