Smart Technologies for Sustainable Smallholder Agriculture: Upscaling in Developing Countries defines integrated climate smart agricultural technologies (ICSAT) as a suite of interconnected techniques and practices that enhance quantity and quality of agricultural products with minimum impact on the environment. These ICSAT are centered on three main pillars, increased production and income, adaptation and resilience to climate change, and minimizing GHG emissions.
This book brings together technologies contributing to the three pillars, explains the context in which they can be scaled up, and identifies research and development gaps as areas requiring further investigation. It stresses the urgency in critically analyzing and recommending ICSAT and scaling out the efforts of both developing and disseminating these in an integrated manner.
The book discusses, synthesizes, and offers alternative solutions to agriculture production systems and socio-economic development. It brings together biophysical and socioeconomic disciplines in evaluating suitable ICSAT in an effort to help reduce poverty and food insecurity.
Highlights the research gaps and opportunities on climate smart agricultural technologies and institutional arrangements
Provides information on institutional engagements that are inclusive of value chain actors that support partnerships and the development of interactive platforms
Elaborates some of the effects of climate extremes on production and socioeconomic development on small farms whose impact has potentially large impact

Описание: Globalizing Wheat: Success and Failure of the Green Revolution by Marci Baranski tells the scientific history of how wheat cameto cover more land than any other food crop on the planet and explores the impact that globalizing trends in wheat breeding have had on local innovation and foodinsecurity. In the 1960s, a small group of scientists and administrators, led chiefly by Norman Borlaug in his time with the Rockefeller Foundation, popularized a controversial new paradigm of wheat research—a paradigm that is still as disputed as it is dominant in leading agricultural research and development institutions around the world. Delivering the first sustained study of Borlaug’s concept of “wide adaptation,” Baranski reveals how Borlaug and his colleagues managed to influence thinking and practices so profoundly worldwide. Drawing on extensive new research, including interviews with scientists in India, Baranski further demonstrates how the legacy of this group’s work stillguides policy and research decisions, often with unintended consequences. In Globalizing Wheat , the author sheds new light on the future of foodsecurity in India and offers an important new critique of the Green Revolution.
