Book Synopsis Forest Management and Conservation Agriculture by : Paul Borsy
Download or read book Forest Management and Conservation Agriculture written by Paul Borsy and published by Integrated Crop Management. This book was released on 2013 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines in great detail the design and implementation of a rural development project for smallholder farmers in Paraguay. Over a period of seven years, from 2003 to 2010, the project applied the basic concepts of conservation agriculture, forestry and agroforestry bene?ting 17 thousand farm families in the Eastern Province of the country. The practices promoted closely paralleled those being recommended for sustainable crop production intensi?cation by FAO which seek to enhance agricultural productivity while protecting the natural environment and improving ecosystem services. The book gives a clear-eyed analysis of the lessons learned and the factors for success and failure and so is an invaluable resource for those contemplating similar projects in the future.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pecuária bovina é uma atividade comum na Amazônia, porém, há controvérsias sobre a sua rentabilidade e que seja apropriada para essa região. Críticas negativas afirmam que o gado bovino é exótico e que o pasto prejudica os serviços ambientais da mata amazônica. Também, a degradação rápida da pastagem restringe o desempenho da produção bovina. Os defensores, que representam principalmente as comunidades locais, argumentam sobre a necessidade da pecuária bovina, que é considerada por eles como uma atividade adequada para esse meio ambiente. Porém os sistemas de produção animal apresentam grandes diferenças; são poucas as fazendas de grande porte que dispõem de muitas cabeças de gado, enquanto a maioria dos pecuaristas têm pequenas propriedades com pequeno número de animais. Em geral, os pequenos produtores também possuem cultivos agrícolas. Apesar das diferenças nos tipos de sistemas, a avaliação sobre produção bovina local realizada até esse momento não considerou suficientemente essas discrepâncias e utilizou técnicas de avaliação gerais que só incluíram a produção física das propriedades. Benefícios socioeconômicos, tais como o acesso e gerenciamento do capital, não foram considerados satisfatoriamente. Assim, foi levantada a hipótese de que se o gado não é produtivo como o cultivo agrícola, o gado é utilizado como um recurso complementar ou representa capital. Um estudo mensal foi realizado em 37 pequenas propriedades de três áreas da região Bragantina. Os produtores foram visitados durante 15 meses utilizando um questionário semi-estruturado. Informações sobre todas as entradas, saídas e transações internas da propriedade foram levantadas com enfoque na produção bovina. Questionários não repetidos sobre elementos menos dinâmicos complementaram o levantamento de dados. Além disso, estatísticas nacionais foram processados para estabelecer tendências gerais.

Book Synopsis Labour Strategies Among Smallholders Producing Perennial Tree Crops in Ghana and Indonesia by : M. Blowfield
Download or read book Labour Strategies Among Smallholders Producing Perennial Tree Crops in Ghana and Indonesia written by M. Blowfield and published by Practical Action Publishing. This book was released on 1995 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent policy reforms and technological innovations in perennial tree crop production have implications for smallholder labour strategies, but changes in these strategies are little understood. Modification in labour decisionmaking among four smallholder communities in Indonesia and Ghana is examined, and the consequences for policy and technology development are explored. The study concludes that there is a need to reassess the way the family is looked at: evidence suggests that the labour strategies are often enacted over a wide geographical area, and form a theme that is hidden by current research techniques used to inform planners and field workers. This publication will be of interest to agencies and individuals concerned with development issues and policy implementation.
Book Synopsis Largeholder Deforestation and Land Conflict in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon by : Stephen Peter Aldrich
Download or read book Largeholder Deforestation and Land Conflict in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon written by Stephen Peter Aldrich and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past thirty years research on land cover and land use change in Amazonia has indicated a number of human-environment interactions which have led to extensive deforestation in the world's largest and most diverse standing tropical forest. Various underlying socioeconomic causes of deforestation are well explicated in the existing primary literature, and include economic development, concerns of national security, and market influence. However, to date very little attention has been paid to the potential for social interactions between land managers to drive deforestation in the region. This dissertation focuses on one particularly contentious type of interaction--land conflict--in one of Brazil's most active and controversial deforestation fronts in the South of the state of Pará. Land conflict in this part of Brazil typically pits largeholder ranchers against the landless poor, with conflicts frequently escalating to the occupation of private property and even violent intimidation and murder. A number of factors contribute to this violence, but among the most important is constitutional law, which allows for the expropriation of private property for agrarian reform purposes if land is not considered "productive." In the Amazon, the most common measure of productivity is the amount of cleared land, leading to a significant incentive for deforestation. When this constitutional law is combined with a socially organized peasantry, largeholders are likely to take extreme measures to protect their property, including significant deforestation. This work draws from concepts in the land change science literature, a rich concept of geographic "place," and contentious politics in order to describe how conflict could be an underlying driver of deforestation. Drawing from this integration of political and ecological considerations, I develop a logistic regression model which shows that the social movement organizations which confront wealthy cattle ranchers do so with much greater likelihood on properties displaying various physical and legal characteristics. Drawing from the insights provided by this logistic regression model, I then specify a spatial error regression model which indicates, among other things, that land conflict increases the amount of deforestation on largeholdings in the region. The data used to develop these models involves an extensive archive of newspaper accounts, key informant interviews with a variety of actors on both sides of the ongoing struggle for land, geographic information systems, and remote sensing. Among the chief policy implications of this research is a potential need to rethink the current measure of the productivity of properties in the Amazon to include criteria such as labor conditions, number of people employed, ecologically responsible use, and actual productivity. A redefinition of productivity in this way could both limit environmental wrongs and begin to repair the rift between largeholders and the landless laborers of the region. (p. III-IV).
