This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores potential links between the agriculture and tourism sectors that could strengthen infrastructure development and inclusive growth in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Over the last 3 decades, the Lao People's Democratic Republic has seen remarkable economic growth, with per capita income quadrupling between 1989 and 2019. However, this growth has been accompanied by widening inequality as the economy generated limited job opportunities beyond agriculture. In the aftermath of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, this report emphasizes the need to develop synergies between agriculture and tourism. It recommends investing in infrastructure, human capital, and digital connectivity among other development areas in the country's agriculture and tourism sectors.

Book Synopsis Food Security and Safety by : Olubukola Oluranti Babalola
Download or read book Food Security and Safety written by Olubukola Oluranti Babalola and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 926 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on food security and safety issues in Africa, a continent presently challenged with malnutrition and food insecurity. The continuous increase in the human population of Africa will lead to higher food demands, and climate change has already affected food production in most parts of Africa, resulting in drought, reduced crop yields, and loss of livestock and income. For Africa to be food-secure, safe and nutritious food has to be available, well-distributed, and sufficient to meet people’s food requirements. Contributors to Food Security and Safety: African Perspectives offer solutions to the lack of adequate safe and nutritious food in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as highlight the positive efforts being made to address this lack through a holistic approach. The book discusses the various methods used to enhance food security, such as food fortification, fermentation, genetic modification, and plant breeding for improved yield and resistance to diseases. Authors emphasize the importance of hygiene and food safety in food preparation and preservation, and address how the constraints of climate change could be overcome using smart crops. As a comprehensive reference text, Food Security and Safety: African Perspectives seeks to address challenges specific to the African continent while enhancing the global knowledge base around food security, food safety, and food production in an era of rapid climate change.
Book Synopsis Issues and Challenges of Inclusive Development by : R. Maria Saleth
Download or read book Issues and Challenges of Inclusive Development written by R. Maria Saleth and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores inclusive development in the Indian context, not only within each of the country’s major economic and social sectors, but also across countries in the particular context of globalization. In the emerging scenario of most expanding economies, including India, this topic remains particularly significant. The book’s sixteen chapters are divided into eight sections that address burning issues related to inclusive development – historical setting and policy context; current issues and future challenges; inclusiveness in the agricultural sector; inclusiveness in the industrial sector; inclusiveness in the health sector; inclusiveness and poverty; inclusiveness in the social context; and inclusiveness in the globalization context. The book highlights several positive developments displayed by the Indian economy in recent years, including the current growth rate of about 7 percent, which is among the highest rates around the globe. At the same time, it draws attention to the fact that while there is every reason to feel proud of these achievements, we cannot ignore the strains and brewing distress, especially in rural areas, or the concerns in environmental and social sectors, including health and education, relating to sociological divisions and disturbances, water and air pollution, and ecosystem and biodiversity losses. Important and relevant from both academic and policy perspectives, the book includes essays from some of the most eminent economists and social scientists in the South Asian region, providing vital takeaways for researchers and NGOs, as well as corporate sector and government decision-makers.

Book Synopsis Political Settlements and Agricultural Transformation in Africa by : Martin Atela
Download or read book Political Settlements and Agricultural Transformation in Africa written by Martin Atela and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ways in which political settlements can contribute to positive changes in Africa’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Contemporary Africa has seen many governments, donors, and commercial private enterprises supporting innovative agricultural and agroprocessing schemes with the purpose of diversifying economies. However, many of the schemes collapse or at best fail to generate the needed jobs. Focusing on case studies in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, this book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines economic analysis, life histories, policy approaches methods, and political economy theory to reframe the field with new questions. The contributors offer alternative explanations for the failure of employment creation schemes in Africa and show how political settlements can bring together stakeholders to settle on win–win approaches to productive employment schemes and inclusive development. Providing new insights on the political economy of agrarian and labour relations in Africa, this book will be of interest to policy actors and development practitioners wishing to support inclusive growth in Africa, as well as to scholars of African politics and economics, public policy, and development.

Book Synopsis Transforming Agribusiness in Nigeria for Inclusive Recovery, Jobs Creation, and Poverty Reduction by : Elliot Mghenyi

This book was released on 2022-02-08 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria has for decades placed enormous emphasis on diversifying its economy beyond oil and into sectors such as agribusiness and manufacturing. Lack of progress on the diversification agenda could be blamed on weak implementation and misalignment of public spending, but it also reflects more profound underlying issues. For example, declarations that any particular sector should drive diversification without offering clarity on specific investment priorities and expected outcomes will not persuade budget holders to allocate development resources. The lack of clarity also deprives policy makers and practitioners of the information, inspiration, and conviction to develop and execute sector plans that could operationalize diversification. Transforming Agribusiness in Nigeria for Inclusive Recovery, Jobs Creation, and Poverty Reduction: Policy Reforms and Investment Priorities aims to provide that clarity by illustrating the potential of the agribusiness sector to accelerate inclusive growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty. Building on an early finding that this sector provides the best prospects for inclusive growth and more and better jobs, the book identifies the specific agricultural value chains with the highest potential to create jobs, reduce poverty, and improve nutrition outcomes. The findings demonstrate, however, that the value chains with the most potential to pursue one policy objective are not necessarily as effective for other objectives, clearly calling for selectivity of value chains, depending on policy objectives. The book also estimates the level of growth required to meet specific jobs targets and finds that the growth burden is lower when on-farm and off-farm segments of agribusiness grow in tandem and higher if either segment stagnates. It concludes that a whole-of-agribusiness approach that emphasizes coordinated investments between on-farm and off-farm segments is needed to enable the sector to meet its potential in creating jobs and generating inclusive growth.
Book Synopsis Water Management and Inclusive Growth of Agriculture by : Prof. Bharat Daga Patil
Download or read book Water Management and Inclusive Growth of Agriculture written by Prof. Bharat Daga Patil and published by Lulu Publication. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Employing nearly on half of the world’s workforce, agriculture is clearly of great economic and social importance. An incredible variety of methods is used globally; the Western world has the latest scientific and industrial advancements at its disposal, yet in some parts of the Third World a living is made using tools that have hardly changed in two thousand years. Thus the study of agriculture geography is clearly important. The subject may be simply defined. Agricultural geography seeks to describe and explain spatial variations in agricultural activity over the earth’s surface. The heart of this task is to explain the great diversity of agriculture. It has been estimated that there are over 250 million farmers in the world. Between them they grow many different crops—at least 1000 species are in use—and they raise these crops in a variety of ways. Thus on some British farms aircraft spray the land with pesticides and computers control the day to-day running of the farm; yet in parts of the Middle East fellahin still raise wheat with implements little changed since biblical times. Equally great are the differences in organization and social conditions. Many farmers in Britain or the USA are rich and successful, owning their land; in parts of Latin America peons toil on land they do not own under conditions not far removed from slavery. Even more striking are the differences in productivity. One American farm worker can produce enough food to feed nearly fifty other people, yet throughout Africa and Asia many farmers are hard-pressed to feed themselves and their families. (David Grigg 1995).

This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian growth story has been one of high Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth but primarily driven by the growth in services sector. Growth may be higher in the last two decades but inclusive growth or equitable development has been missing. Inclusive growth thus seeks to broaden the flow of benefits of globalization towards the currently excluded sections. Economic growth in Karnataka primarily driven by services (55.17%). The Contribution of the industrial sector is smaller which contributes only 16.22 percent to overall growth compared to 30.20 percent at the All-India level. Economic growth particularly pro-poor growth in terms of concentrating on agriculture and employment are important in order to reduce poverty. However, economic growth alone will not be sufficient to lift some people above poverty. Despite achieving the MDG on poverty, a large number of SC, STs will remain poor even if the growth rate is hiked. Karnataka economic growth may be improving but Karnataka is lagging behind southern states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Karnataka is need to operationalize a plan to accelerate growth in agriculture, employment, and social sector development and in reducing regional disparities for achieving inclusive growth during the 12th Five Year Plan period and beyond in Karnataka. The action plan should cover the priority areas like agriculture, employment and social sectors. It should have a plan for removing economic and social deprivation across all regions.
Book Synopsis Agricultural Development and Technical Cooperation toward Green and Inclusive Growth in East Asian APEC Economies by : Shinyoung Jeon
Download or read book Agricultural Development and Technical Cooperation toward Green and Inclusive Growth in East Asian APEC Economies written by Shinyoung Jeon and published by 길잡이미디어. This book was released on 2013-12-31 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Development and Technical Cooperation toward Green and Inclusive Growth in East Asian APEC Economies East Asian APEC economies should expand cooperation, as they have common goals to achieve greater food self-sufficiency and food security by 2020. In Asia, the issues of undernourished (particularly China), small-scale farming due to limited farmland and consequently low levels of mechanization, aging and feminizing farm workforce are crucial. These problems will be exacerbated to be solved due to increasingly open markets through the proliferation of free trade agreements. To tackle these challenges, through increasing agricultural productivity and production, and adequate agricultural trade development, economies should improve food security and tackle related social issues. In this regard, agricultural technical cooperation among East Asian APEC economies has advantages: they share relatively common problems of and approaches to agricultural labour force and agricultural economy; in addition, agricultural trade among APEC Asian economies is growing faster than any other region. They can form collective responses while sharing best practices and experiences, technical and financial assistance, common responses to environmental and climate change issues, development of data infrastructure, minimizing the negative impact from agricultural open market. Concretely, East Asian APEC member economies can better gather and share alternative indicators that measure emerging contemporary agricultural issues by including them into statistical systems. Through this, they can build more adequate policies. It is also necessary to create collective solutions for transition of agricultural labour force, especially small-scale farmers, into higher-value and ecological farming or productive non-farm sector through skills development and for better coping with consequent shocks and adjustments from increasing free trade agreements. In order to do so, they need to bring up collective commitment to agricultural development and investment for the long term. Achieving such cooperation will require strong, effective, and well-resourced driving agents. Despite the limitations of APEC’s current institutional bodies on agricultural technical cooperation, if APEC is committed to the Food Security Road Map of improving food security by 2020, then it must extend its cooperative efforts such as the Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group (ATCWG) and Policy Partnership on Food Security (PPFS) to be increasingly focused and include a wider range of actors, including farmers ? the true agents of change in any agricultural system.
