Download or read book Guidelines for the Integration of Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development Into Agricultural Policies written by J. B. Hardaker and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy objectives for Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD) may be summed up as the pursuit of the goals of growth, equity, efficiency and sustainability. Growth is important to meet the food needs of growing populations with rising incomes and to provide continued sustainable livelihoods for rural people in the future . Equity is important in terms of the relief of poverty and deprivation for this and future generations. Efficiency matters since we cannot afford to waste resources. Finally, sustainability is the objective that has come into increased prominence with the recognition of the significant threats that exist to future welfare and the environment. Sustainability has many dimensions and interpretations but, in the context of agriculture, embraces food security, responsibility in resource use and environmental management, and the resilience of production systems to shocks and challenges. There is interdependence between each of these four objectives, so that the pursuit of SARD requires an integrated approach to policy making in which all four aspects are considered.--Publisher's description.
Book Synopsis Sustainability in Agricultural and Rural Development by : Gerard E. D’Souza
Download or read book Sustainability in Agricultural and Rural Development written by Gerard E. D’Souza and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this book provides a broad but in-depth description of the issues, concepts, methods of analysis, and empirical results related to the sustainable development of agriculture and rural communities. Specifically, it examines the relationships between sustainability and individual topics such as technology, information, population, gender, land use, community, and public policy. A unique aspect of this book is that the topics addressed have not previously been explored together in one publication. With sustainability as the common link, data and evidence are presented and then interpreted in light of individual perspective and experience, in the process advancing our knowledge of this important field. The book comprises of 12 chapters written by prominent authors who come from government and non-government organizations as well as from various academic institutions and disciplines. This book is ideal for a seminar course. It is particularly intended for students in production agriculture, rural sociology, economics and public policy, environmental sciences, geography and land use planning, and other social sciences. Its rich insights make it a useful source of information for policy makers. It can also be used as a reference by professional economists and other researchers interested in issues relating to sustainable agricultural and rural development. While the coverage of some topics is, by necessity, more technical, the book is compiled with a general audience in mind. Thus, it should be of interest to anyone concerned with agriculture, natural resources and rural issues, particularly as they relate to the future of agriculture and of rural communities.
Book Synopsis Sustainable Rural Systems by : Guy Robinson
Download or read book Sustainable Rural Systems written by Guy Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a neo-liberal era where society in the Developed World is reliant on mass-produced cheap foods, and living standards are based on high consumption of non-renewable energy and materials, this book investigates the growing significance of sustainable systems in rural areas. Drawing on a wide range of topical case studies, primarily in the UK, it provides an in-depth analysis of the progress made towards sustainability within rural systems, focusing specifically upon sustainable agriculture and sustainable rural communities. The authors provide an overview of the various systems of sustainability currently being applied in the Developed World. They highlight key environmental, economic and social issues, including post-productivism, 'alternative' food networks, organic farming, GM foods, conservation, rural development programmes, sustainable tourism, local training schemes and community participation. The various studies provide important lessons in the ongoing search for greater sustainability and suggest positive directions for future policy practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the ways in which communities can strengthen the links and set the stage for long-term partnerships between sustainable agriculture and sustainable rural community development initiatives. It provides lessons learned, first, from the community development literature that can help shape sustainable agriculture strategies, and second, from the sustainable agriculture literature that can prove useful in moulding sound and effective community development strategies. The threads that weave the chapters together is the commitment to a building and expanding the community capital resources that have important bearing on the sustainability of agriculture and the broader community of which it is a part. Certainly, the success of the agriculture/community partnerships is rooted in one critical ingredient – "social capital." To be effective over the long-term, sustainable development depends on a network of people, drawn from a wide array of interests, who have a strong trusting relationship with one another, and who are willing to work together in responding to the economic, environmental, and social challenges facing agriculture and community alike. At the same time, strategies that work to strengthen the stock of all seven types of community capitals are important to pursue. It is balanced investments in all seven types of community capitals that will contribute to the emergence of "community agency" -- the ability of local people to act in a proactive manner in managing, utilizing, and enhancing local resources. With the emergence of "community agency," an important step in the pursuit of a sustainable future for both agriculture and community is possible. This book was published as a special issue of Community Development.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book stems from the FAO/Winrock International Workshop on Integration of SARD Issues in Agricultural Policy held May 22-24 1995 at FAO headquarters in Rome. The workshop centered on a paper written by Edward Schuh and Sandra Archibald, which had been prepared at the request of FAO. They were asked to work closely with the FAO to analyze agricultural policies and planning processes in relation to economic adjustment in developing countries. Second task was to discuss key issues in natural resource management and environmental protection for sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD) in these countries, and based on these analyses, to develop a methodological and operational framework for the integration of environmental and sustainable development considerations into the mainstream of agricultural planning and policy analysis in the developing countries

Abstract: Abstract of the thesis entitled "Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD) in the Pearl River Delta Region and China's Accession to the WTO" submitted by Chan Pun Ho for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Hong Kong in December 2003 China's 1978 Open Door Policy and the associated economic and rural reforms have affected agriculture and rural developments in the PRDR. With specific reference to six "original" and "self-developed" assessment principles derived from a synthesized theoretical framework of sustainable agriculture and rural development (SARD), Agenda 21 and China's Agenda 21, it is found that SARD cannot be fully achieved in the Delta region before China's accession to the WTO (1979-2000). The key SARD component of "relative self-sufficiency of agricultural production" was not considered in the national and provincial Ninth (1996-2000) and Tenth (2001-2005) Five-Year Plans. Furthermore, those agricultural and rural legislations, embedding the idea of "sustainability," have not been enforced properly at local levels. As a result of few consultation channels and absence of civic education among the rural people, they have been inactive to express ideas in rural policy-making. For the local officials, in order to get promoted, they have only pursued economic growth in the region and they have not been well-trained in rural resources management and environmental protection. Inadequate supplies of modern machinery and facilities have led to low quality production systems of seeds and breeds. Although education and training programs on the practices of science and technology in sustainable agriculture have been provided for the rural people, the number of local agricultural scientists has been small, hindering the developments of science and technology for SARD. The converted "marginal land" is neither fertile nor productive, rather unsuitable for farming. Since December 11, 2001, China has become one of the 146 WTO members. Her WTO accession marks another turning point for agriculture and ruraldevelopment in the PRDR. Referring to the SARD assessment principles, the accomplishment of SARD in the PRDR may be enhanced after China's entry into the WTO. Existing and new laws, integrated with the idea of "sustainability," will be further revised and made in consistence with the WTO rules. There will probably be more FDIs, and hence bringing in advanced foreign science and technology, and scientists in the PRDR. More education and training on SARD and the WTO rules will be given to government officials and local residents. Making the best use of "green box" policies, monetary and technical supports from the provincial and local governments on the reinforcement of SARD will be further provided for the farmers. Although SARD may be promoted in the region after China's WTO accession, the attainment of SARD is not complete. It is suggested that rural community and social groups should be involved in rural policy-making. Besides, environmental and political education should be extended to kindergarten level. In addition, sustainable farming practices should be advocated through various schemes and legislations. Moreover, employment guarantee schemes should be established to provide social safety nets for the rural unemployed. DOI: 10.5353/th_b2928839 Subjects: Sustainable agriculture -...

Download or read book Sustainable Agricultural Development written by Mohamed Behnassi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to many challenges (i.e. climate change, energy, water and land shortage, high demands on food, land grabbing, etc.), agriculture production potential is expected to be seriously affected; thus, increasing food insecurity and hunger in many already affected regions (especially in Africa). In this context, sustainable agriculture is highly recommended as an eco-system approach where soil, water, plants, environment and living organisms live in harmony. Innovative technologies and research should be developed to ensure sustainable agriculture and productivity using modern irrigation systems, improved varieties, improved soil quality, etc. In the meantime, the preservation of natural environment should be based on resource conservation technologies and best management practices. Sustainable Agricultural Development, not only raises the serious ethical and social issues underlying these huge environmental problems, but also aims at presenting successful experiences from all over the world in relation with sustainable farming, sustainable management of water and land resources, and innovative processes in livestock production. It also aims at providing inputs to decision making processes and encouraging the transfer of relevant know-how, technologies and expertise to different countries where similar agro-climatic conditions may exist; thus saving precious resources and promoting sustainable agricultural development as a relevant approach to tackle the food security challenge. Finally, this book focuses on the paradigmatic and policy dimensions and call for an innovative approach by analyzing the key themes in a complex and interrelated manner.
