Описание: This book covers more than 40 indigenous goat breeds and several ecotypes around the globe and describes genotypic and phenotype traits related to species adaptation to harsh environments and climate change. It also addresses sustainable global farming of local goat breeds in different production systems and agro-ecosystems. Discussing three main global regions: Asia, Africa, and Europe, it particularly focuses on adverse environments such as mountain, semiarid and arid regions. The topic of this highly readable book includes the disciplines of animal physiology, breeding, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and veterinary science, and as such it provides valuable information for academics, practitioners, and general readers with an interest in those fields.

Описание: By adopting a holistic multi-disciplinary approach which identifies key themes and case studies, this book sets the scene for the debate surrounding sustainable agriculture in post-conflict environments. Seeing `fixing` agriculture as more than merely a technical matter, the volume focuses on this critical post-conflict challenge with social.

Описание: World milk production is almost entirely derived from cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep and camels. Other less common milk animals are yaks, horses, reindeers and donkeys. The presence and importance of each species varies significantly among regions and countries. The key elements that determine the dairy species kept are feed, water and climate. Other factors that may influence the presence of a dairy species are market demand, dietary traditions and the socio-economic characteristics of individual households. Although cattle are kept in a wide range of environments, other dairy species make dairying possible in adverse environments that often cannot support any other type of agricultural production. Sheep allow milk production in semi-arid regions around the Mediterranean, goats in regions with poor soils in Africa, horses in the steppes of Central Asia, camels in arid lands, buffaloes in wet tropical regions, and yaks in high mountainous areas such as the Tibetan Plateau. In developing countries, milk producing animals are often raised in subsistence and smallholder systems. These animals are usually multi-purpose and grow and produce under difficult conditions, such as low inputs, minimum management and harsh environments. They are well adapted to local conditions, but have low genetic potential for milk production. Dairy cattle are cattle cows bred for the ability to produce large quantities of milk, from which dairy products are made. Dairy cows generally are of the species Bos taurus. Historically, there was little distinction between dairy cattle and beef cattle, with the same stock often being used for both meat and milk production. Today, the bovine industry is more specialized and most dairy cattle have been bred to produce large volumes of milk. Dairy cows may be found either in herds on dairy farms where dairy farmers own, manage, care for, and collect milk from them, or on commercial farms. Herd sizes vary around the world depending on landholding culture and social structure. The book Dairy Animal Production: Scientific and Sustainable Methods deals with basic management aspects and production methods of dairy animal. The informations are carefully presented in concise manner and to the point.

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.

Описание: Satoyama is a Japanese term describing mosaic landscapes of different ecosystems —secondary forests, farm lands, irrigation ponds and grasslands —along with human settlements managed to produce bundles of ecosystem services for human wellbeing. The concept of satoyama , longstanding traditions associated with land management practices that allow sustainable use of natural resources, has been extended to cover marine and coastal ecosystems ( satoumi ). These landscapes and seascapes have been rapidly changing, and the ecosystem services they provide are under threat from various social, economic, political, and technological factors. Satoyama–Satoumi Ecosystems and Human Well-Being presents the findings of the Japan Satoyama Satoumi Assessment (JSSA), a study of the interaction between humans and ecosystems in Japan. It was written by the 200-plus authors, stakeholders, and reviewers from Japan and elsewhere who make up the JSSA team. The study analyzes changes that have occurred in satoyama–satoumi ecosystems over the last 50 years and identifies plausible future scenarios for the year 2050, taking into account various drivers such as governmental and economic policy, climate change, technology, and sociobehavioral responses. This provides a new approach to land-use planning that addresses not only economic development but also cultural values and ecological integrity. This book is a key reference text for development planners, policymakers, scientists, postgraduate students, and others interested in the environment and development.
