Book excerpt: About the book: Socio-economic development in the rural mountainous area of Northern Vietnam depends to a high degree on the use and Exploitation of the natural resources. However, the population pressure is leading to an increasing demand on these resources and this in turn shows some kind of overuse and misuse of the natural resources. This again has a strong impact on the living standard and food security of the farmers in the region as well as has an implication on the sustainable development of the economy of the region and country. This book attempts to assess the socio-economic situation of families in the relevant to family resources especially natural resources and the living standard and food security of different settlement in three different altitude locations. These locations coincide with different ethnic groups and different level of remoteness, from urban centers. The study assessed the impact of future strategies concerning resources availability, use and management on the living standard and food security of farming families in the mountainous areas. The economic development trends in the mountainous areas show a link to the altitudinal, ethnical and commercial gradient and the availability of the production resources especially natural resources. The impact analysis of potential future strategies were simulated in multi-periodical (dynamic) linear programming models at family level. The results indicate that in order to improve farm and family incomes as well as living standards of the people in the area, sustainable use of natural resources through effective soils and forests protection, managed by the families themselves, will require greater emphasis since small changes in these resources - in the current stage of development - will have much greater impact on the living standard of the families than man-made resources such as capital.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Animal Production in Mountainous Farming Systems Development in Northwest of Vietnam by : Thi-Thanh-Huyen Nguyen

This book was released on 2004 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an analysis of the impact of animal production in mountainous farming systems development in Northwest of Vietnam. The research areas are located in a typical transect in the mountainous zones. This transect represents a gradient from urban to remote areas, with changes in production condition (livestock types and breeds), degree of market orientation (feed stuffs), and socio-economics conditions (knowledge and production habit) due to different ethnic groups of the families. Information used came from interviews in panel survey, collected twice over two years. The descriptive analysis, historical analysis and comparative analysis show that family resources become increasingly scarce along the gradient from the market proximity to remote areas. The economic success follows the same trend with increasing remoteness, and the farm, off-farm and family income decrease. The study also found a relation between resource availability for crop and livestock and the size of the land. The livestock contribution to income is important for the bigger farms with a low production potential as well as for the small farms with high production potential. Fluctuations of resource availability and use over two years show that the resources are over-used. There is increasing utilisation of land in order to increase income while land quality seems to decrease. Results of regression models show that a small change in the animal sector impacts greatly the income and living standard of the families, offering an opportunity for the development of mixed farming systems, and hinting at its high potential for their future development. The impact analyses of potential future strategies were made using linear programming models at family level. Increasing the capacity of stables in order to increase herd size as well as comprehensive veterinary care could improve income. Improving income for families in remote areas is usually very hard to achieve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obtaining enough food for survival is a fundamental challenges in most of the developing countries. The livestock sector is of paramount importance to sustain the agrarian production, where mixed farming system is practiced. The possibility of increasing the consumption of animal protein in such countries requires an acceleration of the livestock's productivity. One of the most feasible solutions in this regard is to enhance the efficiency of livestock farmers where intervention of development projects play decisive role. This book presents a stringent analyses of such interventions on socio-economic and environmental aspects at households level. The major issue is to isolate the impact on innovation in smallholder peasants, food self-sufficiency, natural resource management, institutional development, gender equity and production efficiency due to such intervention, and its overall effect on the living standard of beneficiaries and other stakeholders of the community. Besides, spillover impact was considered in terms of physical changes due to combined effect of activities transferred into the periphery as percolation. A With-Without project evaluation approach was applied as a research methodology. The findings are based on the primary information collected through household survey. The collected cross sectional information was analyzed using descriptive statistics, econometric models and qualitative analyses. The empirical findings obtained from such analyses confirm a substantial contribution of a project intervention as long as the activities are institutionalized for the sustainability of the accrued benefit over time.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Projects and Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in Benin by : Jacob Afouda Yabi
Download or read book Agricultural Projects and Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in Benin written by Jacob Afouda Yabi and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most criticisms of agricultural projects are that their design, management and monitoring are little efficient and consider little development needs of stakeholders. These weaknesses induce low impacts on sustainable development of beneficiaries, as well as low participation and adoption of modern technologies, which make the projects little sustainable. This book investigates therefore the impacts of the projects on sustainable development of stakeholders and the factors affecting their participation and adoption decisions, using a with-without approach and a structural modelling. The results show the impacts were positive, but depended closely on the area where the projects were implemented. As feedback, overall satisfactions that the stakeholders view from the impacts, human capital and access to production inputs were key factors of participation and adoption. Therefore, the solution for more sustainable impacts of agricultural projects lies on designing and implementing small-scale projects that target real development problems of stakeholders, improvement on human capital and access to production input.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rainforest zone in Brazil is under pressure through encroachment of farming and other sectors, which lead to ecologically unbalanced development, reducing the living potential of indigenous communities. The Bananal Island wetland is located in the transition zone between the Amazon and Cerrado (Savannah) ecosystems. The conflicting interest of the rural actors on using the natural resources lead to the demarcation of most of its territory as Indigenous Lands. This book attempts to analyze the socio-economic potentials of indigenous and non-indigenous systems presented in the adjacent zone of Bananal Island, along the Javae River. Special emphasis is given to the relationship of the indigenous communities with smallholders expelled out of the island and large-scale farm and ranch systems; and how this relationship may affect the living standard of the two less economically favorable groups. The results show that for indigenous communities some of the actions of the government had improved a few components of their living standard raising them up to the level of smallholders and the fishermen found in the region. The smallholders were allocated in settlements. The poor infrastructure of the settlement studied and the absence of financial incentives for agricultural activities push these smallholders to establish small enterprises in order to guarantee their living standard. The large-scale farms and ranches are mainly market oriented and are dependent mostly on the national economic fluctuation. They are high dependent of external labour to run their production activities. There is a concern about the scarcity of specialized technical labour in the region. The training of the smallholders could fill this gap and avoid future encroachments into Bananal Island as occurred in the past.
