Book Synopsis Communication Among Agricultural Policy Influencers by : Victor Kingsley Salazar

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural policy affects the agricultural industry in its entirety. It affects everything from the type of food that is grown to how it is processed and distributed. Agricultural policy influencers impact the development of the policy and ultimately impact the future of agriculture. Understanding how these policy influencers impact policy is important to understanding policy development. Knowing where agricultural policy influencers get information, how they prefer to have it presented and how they prefer to communicate with other agricultural policy influencers is vital to understanding and impacting the agricultural policy process. The purpose of this study was to describe agricultural policy influencers' preference for three aspects of the communication process; (1) sources of information, (2) formats of information, and (3) methods of communication with other agricultural policy influencers. Two Delphi studies were administered to distinctly separate but intersecting expert groups: Congressional agricultural aides, and agricultural lobbyists. These Delphi studies determined each group's preference for sources of information on agricultural policy, their preference for formats of information, and their preference for methods of communication while communicating with other policy influencers. Since communication is relational, the study broke communication into three sections; (1) communication with peers, (2) communication with members of the opposite expert group with whom there is a close relationship, and (3) communication with members of the opposite expert group with whom there is not a close relationship. Consensus was developed separately for each question and for each group of experts. Data are presented separately throughout this study. In discussing the findings, this study looks at preferences from both sides of the communication interaction. In this way, the study takes two separate Delphi processes and develops them into one clear picture of communication during the policy process. Both groups of experts preferred to have written communication in the form of email and verbal communication in the form of face-to-face and telephone conversations. In addition, both groups preferred to have information presented in the most concise and least time consuming fashion. The data points to the importance of interpersonal relationships, and the need concise and efficient communication methods throughout the policy process. Recommendations for future research and for practitioners are included at the end of the study. The electronic version of this dissertation is accessible from http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/155308

Building on the previous editions, Communication for Rural Innovation maintains and adapts the insights and conceptual models of value today, while reflecting many new ideas, angles and modes of thinking concerning how agricultural extension is taught and carried through today. Since the previous edition of the book, the number and type of organisations that apply communicative strategies to foster change and development in agriculture and resource management has become much more varied and this book is aimed at those who use communication to facilitate change in agriculture and resource management.

Book Synopsis The Communication Scarcity in Agriculture by : Jessica Eise
Download or read book The Communication Scarcity in Agriculture written by Jessica Eise and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, the general public craves information on food and agriculture with an unprecedented passion. But the agricultural sector, unaccustomed to an interested and inquisitive society, has largely failed to respond to the public’s demands for information. Instead, corporations, time-pressed journalists, bloggers, media celebrities, film-makers, authors and concerned consumers jumped in to fill the void. Food is emotional, and these players - some well-intentioned and others not - got a lot of traction playing off consumer fears of the unknown. This critical and timely book explains how changing demographics, cultural shifts, technological advances and agriculture’s silence all combined to create the perfect storm – a great chasm between those who know, and those who don’t know, agriculture. The ramifications of a poorly-informed consumer base are now becoming clear in our policy debates and consumer-driven business decisions. There is a lot of common ground between the agricultural sector and their consumer base, but each group largely fails to appreciate it, and the consequences of such a divide grow increasingly dire. Drawing on a wide-range of expertise, from leading agricultural researchers to major agribusiness leaders to consumer advocates, Eise and Hodde lay out exactly why communication is so urgently critical to our modern-day agricultural system. They outline the major themes affecting agricultural communication – perception, emotion, technology, science - and what we can do now to improve the debate and safeguard our future food supply for generations to come.This book is suitable for those who study agriculture, environmental economics and mass media and communication.

Book Synopsis Communicating Health by : Mohan J. Dutta
Download or read book Communicating Health written by Mohan J. Dutta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-05-13 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture-centred approach offered in this book argues that communication theorizing ought to locate culture at the centre of the communication process such that the theories are contextually embedded and co-constructed through dialogue with the cultural participants. The discussions in the book situate health communication within local contexts by looking at identities, meanings and experiences of health among community members, and locating them in the realm of the structures that constitute health. The culturecentred approach foregrounds the voices of cultural members in the co-constructions of health risks and in the articulation of health problems facing communities. Ultimately, the book provides theoretical and practical suggestions for developing a culture-centred understanding of health communication processes.
Book Synopsis Facilitating Sustainable Agriculture by : N. G. Roling
Download or read book Facilitating Sustainable Agriculture written by N. G. Roling and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-21 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A move towards more flexible, sustainable agricultural practices is increasingly being seen as the way to address or avoid environmental and economic problems associated with existing, predominantly intensive, farming systems. Through case studies taken from around the world, this book examines the implications of adopting more ecologically sound agricultural practices, both at the level of individual farmers and at the level of larger-scale agro-ecosystems such as water catchments. The emphasis of the book is on human and social aspects, rather than on agronomic or economic considerations, focusing on the learning processes necessary for change to be implemented and, in turn, on the facilitation of that learning through participatory approaches and appropriate institutional support and policy structure.

Book Synopsis Global Challenges For Future Food And Agricultural Policies by : David Blandford
Download or read book Global Challenges For Future Food And Agricultural Policies written by David Blandford and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the current and future challenges facing the food and agricultural system and their implications for policymaking at the national and international level.The growth in global population and income is expected to result in increasing demand for food and agricultural raw materials, intensifying concerns over food security and increasing pressure on the planet's natural resources. Moreover, climate change — a challenge on its own — is likely to increase the urgency for reforms in the food and agricultural sector. As a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, the sector will need to participate in efforts to slow global warming and to adjust to the effects of climate change, while ensuring global food security and resource sustainability. These pressures define a new set of priorities for policymaking at the national and international level. They also necessitate changes in the framework of global institutions for effective governance of the food system.Global Challenges for Future Food and Agricultural Policies presents a comprehensive analysis of the inter-related policy challenges of food security, management of natural resources, climate change, and international governance. The book also offers valuable insights into options for effective policymaking with the goal of inducing positive policy changes to the food and agricultural sector.

Book Synopsis Mapping the Influencers in EU Policies by : Dan Luca
Download or read book Mapping the Influencers in EU Policies written by Dan Luca and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-05-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a novel approach to mapping the people and organisations working in EU affairs, allocating much of the volume to a discussion of non-EU institutional representation in Brussels. Complementary to this, a distinct section focuses on those entities situated in EU capitals connected with EU policy dynamics. The intention of the book is to describe each sector within Brussels’ eco-system, including statistics and numbers, but also to have practical examples of organisations that are represented in EU affairs. The second part of the book is dedicated to interviews with relevant influencers from within the Brussels scene. This publication is a working tool for experts in EU affairs, academics and students. It could also be an interesting read for those seeking a job in EU affairs, as well as entrepreneurs, who want to set up a sustainable business.
