Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive effort to bring together Water, Food Security and Nutrition (FSN) in a way that goes beyond the traditional focus on irrigated agriculture. Apart from looking at the role of water and sanitation for human well-being, it proposes alternative and more locally appropriate ways to address complex water management and governance challenges from the local to global levels against a backdrop of growing uncertainties. The authors challenge mainstream supply-oriented and neo-Malthusian visions that argue for the need to increase the land area under irrigation in order to feed the world’s growing population. Instead, they argue for a reframing of the debate concerning production processes, waste, food consumption and dietary patterns whilst proposing alternative strategies to improve water and land productivity, putting the interests of marginalized and disenfranchized groups upfront. The book highlights how accessing water for FSN can be challenging for small-holders, vulnerable and marginalized women and men, and how water allocation systems and reform processes can negatively affect local people’s informal rights. The book argues for the need to improve policy coherence across water, land and food and is original in making a case for strengthening the relationship between the human rights to water and food, especially for marginalized women and men. It will be of great interest to practitioners, students and researchers working on water and food issues.

Book excerpt: The agricultural research system in Syria is composed of several agencies with no coordination between them. Two directorates of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform (MAAR), the Scientific Agricultural Research Directorate (SARD) and the Soils Directorate (SD) conduct most of the research work. Other research bodies focus on commodities. For the International Center for the Improvement of Maize and Wheat (CIMMYT), these activities include the utilization of germplasm for wheat and maize cultivation as well as the annual provision of training opportunities. The strategy of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has followed two directions: first, it has emphasized the building up of Syria's research capacity; and second, it has stressed the importance of increasing the productivity of dry-farming crops, especially barley and chickpea. A collaborative Research and Training Program, agreed upon by MAAR and ICARDA, has been the vehicle used to implement ICARDA's strategy. Under the program, new varieties of wheat, barley and chickpea have been developed; some of them have been prematurely released and need further verification. Research on farm practices is promising, but understandably more time is needed for concrete results.

Download or read book Durum Wheat: Globally Minor, Locally Major Crop written by Reza Mohammadi and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, experienced scientists in the field describe the importance of durum wheat as an adapted cash crop for drylands in detail, as well as a valuable food crop that must be paid more attention in relation to climate change, global warming, world population growth rate and declining food production resource. It is a ready valuable reference on the subject and reinforces the understanding for durum wheat production promotion as an environmentally sustainable and profitable crop and also its health benefits for its consumers. Various elements of durum wheat are described, highlighting associated breeding and analyzing the experiences and challenges. It proposes some practical innovations and new areas of research for promotion of durum production in drylands and also its consumption instead of major food crops that are not as water-use efficient and have lower nutritional value than durum wheat, such as rice that are over consumed by people in dryland areas. This book also describes the trends in grain yield and quality of durum wheat and its importance as main sources of calories and proteins in many developing countries. It also reports genetic gains achieved by plant breeding in the last decades; and gathers known functional information on the genes conferring biotic and abiotic stresses in durum wheat to cope with climate variable environmental conditions. This book is an invaluable source of information for scientists, teachers, students, agricultural policy makers, and pasta and other durum products companies. Moreover, nutritionists must read the chapter about the importance of durum as a valuable food crop, to realize that in their food recommendation to people they must take into consideration the Earth and its diminishing food production resources.

Book excerpt: "While water professionals have been advocating comprehensive water reforms for years and many countries have improved their water policies and institutions, some of the most politically sensitive elements of reform remain untouched. This report suggests that a series of factors are now emerging that represent a potential opportunity to break this impasse." "Making the Most of Scarcity will be of interest to readers working in the areas of agribusiness and markets, agriculture, urban and rural development, water supply, and water resources, as well as to those responsible for setting policies in the areas of environment, economics, and social protection."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Wheat Landraces written by Nusret Zencirci and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landraces possess a very large genetic base in population structure and are dynamic populations of cultivated plants with historical origin, distinct identity, and without any formal crop improvement. They are often genetically diverse, locally adapted, and associated with traditional farming systems. Resistance genes to biotic and abiotic stress factors, which are especially diversified in landraces, are of great interest to plant breeders, faced with global climate challenge. In addition, gene pools made of different landraces grown in different ecological conditions can be used for wheat breeding to enhance quality; yield and other desirable agricultural parameters. An estimated 75% of the genetic diversity of crop plants was lost in the last century due to the replacement of high yielding modern varieties. There is, thus, an urgent need to preserve existing species, not only for posterity but also as a means to secure food supply for a rising world population. In this book, we provide an overview of wheat landraces with special attention to genetic diversities, conservation, and utilization.
