Название: Policy Guide to Improve Water use Efficiency in Small-scale Agriculture: The Case of Burkina Faso, Morocco and Uganda ISBN: 9251319987 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251319987 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 60060.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: According to this report, water use efficiency (WUE) is a vital concept in ensuring sustainable water management, food security, poverty alleviation and decent livelihoods. Despite significant investments in irrigation development in sub-Saharan Africa - where it is estimated that 80 per cent of farms are cultivated by smallholders - farmers and decision-makers still face shortcomings in scheme performance and water delivery services.
Better policies are needed to address these problems while taking into account the crosscutting impacts of water management. This is particularly important in countries where the majority of the population is reliant on agriculture, and where agriculture accounts for a high share of water consumption. As available water resources have a direct impact on livelihoods, the effective use of water is at the core of development and pro-poor strategies.
The policy guide is based on the results of the FAO project “Strengthening Agricultural Water Efficiency and Productivity at the African and Global Level”, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.
Название: Watershed Management in Action: Lessons Learned from FAO Field Projects ISBN: 9251300143 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251300145 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 76690.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Watershed management has gained momentum over the past decade as a holistic way of conserving water, land and biodiversity resources while sustaining livelihoods. This publication looks at how 12 projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America are using the approach to devise local solutions to global challenges. In Ecuador’s Mount Chimborazo for example, pilot schemes were put in place to compensate upstream inhabitants for sustaining ecosystem services, targeting users such as the hydroelectric company and flower nurseries. In Pakistan’s earthquake-affected areas, a watershed management project contributed not only to the rehabilitation of roads and irrigation channels but also to the diversification of food and income sources. These and other examples are presented in the publication, which looks at both the strengths and weaknesses of the approach and highlights the need for stronger governance and long-term sustainability.

About the Doublebit Press Legacy Edition Reprint Collection
Sometimes we need to remember our history to move forward. Sometimes, remembering our heritage is just fun or inspirational. But sometimes, remembering the old ways of doing things gives a human component to handcrafts and traditional arts. With technology playing a major role in everyday life, sometimes we need to take a step back in time to find those basic building blocks used for gaining mastery - the things that we have luckily not completely lost and has been recorded in books over the last two centuries. These skills aren't forgotten, they've just been shelved. It's time to unshelve them once again and reclaim the lost knowledge of self-sufficiency

Название: Vulnerability of agriculture, water and fisheries to climate change ISBN: 9401789614 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789401789615 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 130430.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Human activity is changing the global environment at an unprecedented rate while humanity faces a range of complex and interrelated challenges to local, regional and global development, human security and politics. Food security ranks high on the science, policy and development agendas. However, most research linking global change and food systems examines the impact of climate change on agricultural production, or the impact of agriculture on land use, pollution and biodiversity, overlooking interactions with other aspects of the food system – such as food processing, packaging, transportation and consumption and employment derived from these activities. This book demonstrates that new threats to food security which arise from environmental change require more than simply a focus on agricultural practices – what is needed is an integrated food system approach. The authors point out that the process of adapting food systems to global environmental change is not simply a search for technological solutions to increase agricultural yields. Tradeoffs across multiple scales among food system outcomes are a prevalent feature of globalized food systems. Within food systems, there are key underexplored areas that are both sensitive to environmental change and crucial to understanding its implications for food security and adaptation strategies. The authors assert that technical prescriptions alone will not efficiently manage the food security challenge. This book is their contribution to a new paradigm, which addresses food systems holistically by engaging researchers in multiple disciplines to understand the causes and drivers of vulnerability.
