Описание: This publication presents the achievements of the International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project, which include capacity development, training, information-sharing and several country studies. The project notably contributed to feasibility studies in Botswana, Ecuador and Ethiopia, as well as a case study on Italy that showcased conservation agriculture as a successful approach to overcoming soil fertility loss and erosion in 15 regions. The publication demonstrates how the project has laid the foundations for a strong knowledge community to support climate-smart agriculture (CSA) implementation across countries and regions, thereby contributing to international climate commitments and sustainable development in the field of agriculture and food security. The International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture project was funded by the Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea of Italy (IMELS) and implemented by FAO, in order to advance knowledge-sharing, learning and partnership-building around the CSA approach and to create a Global Alliance for Climate-Smart Agriculture (GACSA).

Описание: Food production and consumption processes are largely governed via control mechanisms that affect food accessibility and environmental efficiency. Food resource marginalization, inequality, and deleterious consumption urgently require new governance and developmental systems that will provide food security and create consumption patterns that protect the natural environment and food resources. Global Food Politics and Approaches to Sustainable Consumption: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that discusses the challenges and solutions of food security and consumption control. Food politics can be linked to persistent challenges of inequitable access, food resource inefficiency, and control and consumption, which form part of the local development realities that can address global sustainable development. While highlighting topics such as rural agriculture, capitalism, and food chain management, this publication is ideally designed for policymakers, sustainable developers, politicians, ecologists, environmentalists, corporate executives, farmers, and academicians seeking current research on the policies and modalities of food efficiency and equality.

Автор: Leighton Naraine Название: Optimizing the Use of Farm Waste and Non-Farm Waste to Increase Productivity and Food Security: Emerging Research and Opportunities ISBN: 1522579346 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781522579342 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 150610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Traditional farming systems have dominated the agricultural sector for the past few centuries. However, the past few years have proven that new, non-traditional farming methods, such as passive and non-passive solar drying, are essential in the wake of diminishing food production globally.Optimizing the Use of Farm Waste and Non-Farm Waste to Increase Productivity and Food Security: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a crucial reference source that provides vital research on the application of enhanced productivity, flexibility, competitiveness, and sustainability within an individual farming enterprise to promote food security. While highlighting topics such as biogas production, food distribution network, and aquaculture diversification, this publication explores utilizing farm waste in a circular approach to optimize material utilization in a farming system to realize a zero-waste scenario and the methods individual farms can practice to operate sufficiently to become successful and contribute to the attainment of national food security. This book is ideally designed for policymakers, farmers, researchers, agriculture engineers, environmental engineers, and development specialists seeking current research on non-farm waste contributions as sources of raw materials.

Описание: The issue of how to assess the sustainability of governance structures is one of the most topical for researchers, farmers, investors, administrators, policymakers, interest groups, and the public at large. In the opening chapter the authors suggest a practical and holistic approach to assessing the sustainability of governing structures in the Bulgarian agri-business sector. Next, the authors propose that nanotechnology has the potential to significantly impact all sectors of agribusiness in the next decade, and may be used to enhance the possibility of re-developing conventional agribusiness resources. The objective of the closing paper is to assess and measure the current growth on the agribusiness of coffee in Mexico, its trends and challenges, the technology being used, and the constraints and goals towards the sustainability of the value chain.

Описание: Value addition in meat industry has always attracted the consumers and processors world over for the reason it gives variety, choice of products to suit their purse. Introduction of new varieties of meat product is constantly attempted by the processors and is also carefully watched by the consumers. Another aspect of value addition, which is gaining momentum, is the value added health foods. These products are designed to suit the nutritional requirement, diet restrictions of different categories of people. Energy foods for sports men, defense food and irradiated foods are developing with the specific purpose. Naturally when the value addition is done with the specific purpose the cost of the products takes the back seat while the quality with purpose is a priority like designer eggs, low fat meat recipes, high protein diets for children and self-heating cans etc. These are prepared as per the dietary guidelines and often have become an advertising tool for the manufacturing companies. While discussing about meat processing optimum utilization of by products is equally important for increasing profit and minimizing environmental pollution.

Описание: Smallholder farms or smallholdings comprise livestock and livestock, livestock and crops and crops and crops farming systems. It involves nutritional inter-relationships of integration and interdependency between livestock and crop systems and crop and crop systems. There are an estimated 500 billion smallholder farms worldwide supporting livelihoods of about 2 billion people, most of who are in Sub-Sahara Africa and Asia. Smallholders make more than 60% of agricultural producers supplying local and international food markets, and employ about 70% of farming communities in Sub-Sahara Africa and Asia. However, these farming systems experience financial, technological, infrastructural, market access, environmental and policy and institutional framework challenges. Considering the importance of smallholder farming systems, attempts should be geared towards mitigating the challenges and promoting productivity and sustainability of these farming systems. This is expected to lead to improved food and nutrition security and food safety and translate to improved livelihoods of smallholder farmers and increased income from agriculture products. The authors of this book focus on the challenges and opportunities of smallholders and smallholding systems all over the world.
