Название: Voluntary Guidelines for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers` Varieties/Landraces ISBN: 9251316872 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789251316870 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 43430.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: These guidelines outline the process for preparing a National Plan for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Farmers’ Varieties/Landraces, in support of national authorities seeking to develop a systematic approach to the management of these genetic resources. They focus on the common elements required to ensure a systematic, national approach to conservation and sustainable use of farmers’ varieties/landraces.
The cultivation of diverse farmers' varieties/landraces, which tend to be well-adapted and suited to local production systems, confers increased resilience for crop production. Unfortunately, many of these genetic resources have been replaced by modern cultivars in recent decades, resulting in a reduction in the number of varieties grown and/or loss of heterogeneity. Such losses make farming systems less resilient, especially to shocks from abiotic and biotic stresses.
These guidelines will contribute to addressing this continuing loss of diversity. They are a useful tool for development practitioners, researchers, students and policymakers who work on the conservation and sustainable use of these valuable resources.

Описание: Today hop growing remains a viable commercial enterprise only in parts of the far western United States - notably in Washington. But, as James Fenimore Cooper remembered, the mid-nineteenth century in Cooperstown, New York, was a time when ""the 'hop was king,' and the whole countryside was one great hop yard, and beautiful"".In Tinged with Gold, Michael A. TomIan explores all aspects of hop culture in the United States and provides a background for understanding the buildings devoted to drying, baling, and storing hops. The work considers the history of these structures as it illustrates their development over almost two centuries, the result of agrarian commercialism and nearly continuous technological improvement. In examining the context in which the buildings were constructed, Tomlan considers the growth, cultivation, and harvesting of the plant; the economic, social, and recreational activities of the people involved in hop culture; and the record of mechanical inventions and technical developments that shaped hop kilns, hop houses, and hop driers and coolers in the various areas where the crop flourished. The work challenges assumptions about the noncommercial nature of American agriculture in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and raises important questions about the ""folk"" tradition of hop houses, arguing that the designs of these buildings were rational responses to commercial imperatives rather than the continuance of arcane English or European customs.Tinged with Gold brings hop culture to life as it explores the history of this neglected aspect of rural agriculture. Because the work demonstrates that the significance of a relatively obscure building type can be fully appreciated if placed in its historical context, it provides a model for studying other rural structures. Drawing upon an impressive array of primary and secondary sources, this work is a definitive history of hop culture in the United States.

Identification and Adaptation of Common Grasses, Legumes and Non-leguminous Forbs of the Eastern United States provides a description of the most common grasses, legumes and non-leguminous forbs of the Eastern United States. It covers many of the most important grassland, turf and non-crop plants and their seeds. Unlike many publications that include plant identification, this book emphasizes Vegetative Identification. Most plants flower for a relative short period; so the person in the field is frequently faced with identifying a plant without a flower and this book facilitates that identification need.
Also included are Floral Identification as this method can be definitive and can sometimes greatly simplify the identification process. The hundreds of color photographs and other illustrations are important for these determinations. The book covers 23 forage legumes, 61 grasses and more than 100 non leguminous forbs found in pastures and grasslands of Eastern US. Besides identification of important species, it describes other key characteristics such as adaptation, favorable and unfavorable soil types, seasonal growth patterns, toxicity, etc. For plants harvested for hay or silage or by grazing, there is discussion of cutting and grazing management, quality factors, and potential yields.
Features full-color ilustrations of both seed and plant allowing for rapid identification at multiple stages of development
Includes image, identification methods, use cases and control for over 180 plants
Presents information in clear and concise language for foundational and advanced application

Автор: Gifford John Название: Pecan America: Exploring a Cultural Icon ISBN: 0700628355 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780700628353 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 27580.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Inspired by the mystique of a uniquely American tree, the pecan, Oklahoma writer John Gifford Set out to explore the US pecan industry, which provides 80 percent of the world's supply of this special tree nut. What he discovered during his two-year immersion was a nut—one that’s suprisingly symbolic of America itself—that’s poised to become the next superfood and an industry that today finds itself in the most important juncture in its history.Though the US pecan belt extends from the Carolinas to California, the pecan tree, which was revered by some of our nation’s founders, has its origins in the South Central United States, where wild pecans still grow along the region’s rivers and streams, and in its floodplain forests. The pecan is the only native tree nut that has been developed into a significant agricultural crop. Though native pecans continue to figure into the 280-million-pound annual US crop, wild pecan trees face an uncertain future as worldwide demand centers on the larger and more lucrative “improved” varieties.Pecan America provides readers with a look at how the rising demand for pecans around the world is transforming the way this nut is grown, promoted, and consumed here in the United States. Along the way, Gifford explores its presence in American folk art and culture, documents the pecan industry’s quest for share of stomach in a market brimming with other tree nuts, examines the pecan’s surprising array of health benefits, and profiles some of the fascinating people who bring this food to our tables. In the end, Gifford reveals the pecan to be much more than a food, but also a cultural curiosity and even a metaphor for America itself, one whose diverse nature may be its greatest quality.
