Technological Change in Agriculture and Poverty
The challenge for developing country agriculture in the next 25 years is enormous, particularly if it is not only to satisfy the growing effective demand for food, but also help reduce poverty and malnutrition, and do it in an environmentally sustainable fashion. Due to population growth and rising incomes, demand in the developing countries is predicted to increase by 59% for cereals, 60% for ...

متن کاملIntegrated modelling of climate change impacts in Northeastern Brazil
Societies in semi-arid areas in developing regions are amongst those, most vulnerable to climate variability and potentially most vulnerable to climate change. The vulnerability to climate variability is caused by the strong restrictions that limited water availability poses on the use of natural resources, by the generally low reliability of water availability and, on the other hand, an often ...
متن کاملClimate change mitigation for agriculture: water quality benefits and costs.
New Zealand is unique in that half of its national greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory derives from agriculture--predominantly as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), in a 2:1 ratio. The remaining GHG emissions predominantly comprise carbon dioxide (CO2) deriving from energy and industry sources. Proposed strategies to mitigate emissions of CH4 and N2O from pastoral agriculture in New Zealand are:...

Slash and burn agriculture, largely dependent on the duration of the fallow period to restore the productivity of the land, is extensively practiced by small landholders in Pará State, Brazil. Due to a mounting demographic pressure, fallow periods have been shortened, and signs of agronomic and ecological failure such as decreasing crop yields and structural and compositional depletion of the s...
