This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Afrique de l'Ouest, une série de facteurs contribue à la baisse de la productivité agricole : la dégradation de l'environnement, la forte croissance démographique, les attaques acridiennes, la performance insuffisante des économies. De nombreux pays enregistrent d'énormes déficits alimentaires. Une telle situation ne peut être améliorée qu'à partir de l'adoption de nouvelles technologies visant à l'obtention de meilleurs rendements. Dans cet ouvrage organisé en quatre chapitres, les auteurs se penchent sur les déterminants d'une meilleure productivité agricole. L'accent est surtout mis sur les aléas climatiques de ces dernières décennies, marquées par de fortes irrégularités saisonnières et une baisse régulière de la pluviométrie. Aux aléas climatiques s'ajoute le problème de la fertilité des sols caractérisé le plus souvent par un faible taux de matières organiques : carence en phosphore et en azote, complexe absorbant insuffisant, petite capacité de rétention en eau, etc. Enfin, dans les régions à forte densité de population ( exemples du Ghana et du Togo ), le taux de croissance démographique élevé agit négativement sur le potentiel foncier, caractérisé par la dégradation des ressources naturelles. Les auteurs exposent ici les réalités de ces facteurs déterminants pour la sécurité alimentaire, afin de permettre aux décideurs de mieux les intégrer à leur politique de développement du secteur agricole.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Face aux défis de la sécurité alimentaire et de la réduction de la pauvreté, les Etats africains, avec le soutien des agences de développement, ont été amenés, notamment au cours des deux dernières décennies, à intensifier la recherche agricole visant à accroître la productivité, la rentabilité, la compétivité et le volume de la production agricole. Au regard de la raréfaction des terres arables, les résultats obtenus sont très encourageants. Des centres de recherche ont conçu de nouvelles technologies adaptées aux conditions écologiques de l'Afrique et destinées à améliorer la productivité, le volume et la rentabilité de la production agricole. Le " Nouveau riz pour l'Afrique ", une variété riche en protéines et plus résistante aux conditions climatiques austères de la sous-région ouest-africaine et aux parasites, en est un exemple palpable. Paradoxalement, ces innovations performantes sont rarement adoptées dans cette sous-région alors que les impacts négatifs des changements climatiques sur la production agricole, comme les sécheresses et les inondations, s'intensifient. La forte croissance démographique et l'exode rural de plus en plus accentué amplifient continuellement l'accroissement des besoins de produits alimentaires, notamment en milieu urbain. La production obtenue par les systèmes de culture actuellement pratiqués, à savoir l'agriculture extensive, demeurant insuffisante et les pouvoirs d'achat des populations restant trop faibles, ces besoins de denrées alimentaires ne peuvent être satisfaits. Pour réduire substantiellement l'insécurité alimentaire qui en résulte, l'accélération de la diffusion et de l'adoption des innovations technologiques performantes s'impose. Dans cet ouvrage, les auteurs se penchent sur les innovations actuellement observées sur le terrain et leur impact sur la productivité agricole afin de contribuer au développement de politiques et stratégies d'adoption de celles qui s'avèrent performantes.
Book Synopsis Transformation et consommation des denrées alimentaires en Afrique de l'ouest centrale by : Bernard Yapo Kouassi
Download or read book Transformation et consommation des denrées alimentaires en Afrique de l'ouest centrale written by Bernard Yapo Kouassi and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2008 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La croissance démographique de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, ses conséquences sur la croissance urbaine et les crises socio-politiques récurrentes ont complètement modifié les conditions de production et de consommation alimentaire dans la sous-région. La demande en nourriture dans les principaux centres urbains est devenue exponentielle, avec une forte dépendance du marché international. Cette demande ne concerne plus seulement les produits alimentaires à l'état brut, elle porte aussi sur les denrées transformées telles que les conserves alimentaires, les produits congelés et les huiles végétales. Par rapport à cette demande forte en aliments de base, les populations ouest-africaines cherchent elles-mêmes à s'adapter en mettant davantage l'accent sur des innovations. Celles-ci concernent à la fois les nouvelles cultures pratiquées, dont notamment un développement extraordinaire de l'agriculture périurbaine, la conception de nouveaux aliments et l'évolution des anciens mets traditionnels. Ces innovations concernent aussi la façon de présenter ces nouveaux mets aux consommateurs urbains. Ainsi, le faible pouvoir d'achat des populations urbaines entraîne désormais le développement extraordinaire des aliments de rue, en lieu et place de la restauration moderne où le coût des aliments reste élevé. Ce livre étudie ces diverses innovations à travers les expériences de transformation et de présentation des aliments prêts à être consommés, il évoque aussi les risques liés à ces innovations. L'ouvrage est structuré en quatre chapitres ayant trait à des études de cas centrées sur le Burkina Faso, le Ghana et la Côte d'Ivoire.

Download or read book Edible Insects written by Arnold van Huis and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible insects have always been a part of human diets, but in some societies there remains a degree of disdain and disgust for their consumption. Although the majority of consumed insects are gathered in forest habitats, mass-rearing systems are being developed in many countries. Insects offer a significant opportunity to merge traditional knowledge and modern science to improve human food security worldwide. This publication describes the contribution of insects to food security and examines future prospects for raising insects at a commercial scale to improve food and feed production, diversify diets, and support livelihoods in both developing and developed countries. It shows the many traditional and potential new uses of insects for direct human consumption and the opportunities for and constraints to farming them for food and feed. It examines the body of research on issues such as insect nutrition and food safety, the use of insects as animal feed, and the processing and preservation of insects and their products. It highlights the need to develop a regulatory framework to govern the use of insects for food security. And it presents case studies and examples from around the world. Edible insects are a promising alternative to the conventional production of meat, either for direct human consumption or for indirect use as feedstock. To fully realise this potential, much work needs to be done by a wide range of stakeholders. This publication will boost awareness of the many valuable roles that insects play in sustaining nature and human life, and it will stimulate debate on the expansion of the use of insects as food and feed.

Book Synopsis Governing Africa's Forests in a Globalized World by : Laura Anne German
Download or read book Governing Africa's Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Download or read book Investing in Cultural Diversity and Intercultural Dialogue written by Unesco and published by UNESCO. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyses all aspects of cultural diversity, which has emerged as a key concern of the international community in recent decades, and maps out new approaches to monitoring and shaping the changes that are taking place. It highlights, in particular, the interrelated challenges of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue and the way in which strong homogenizing forces are matched by persistent diversifying trends. The report proposes a series of ten policy-oriented recommendations, to the attention of States, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, international and regional bodies, national institutions and the private sector on how to invest in cultural diversity. Emphasizing the importance of cultural diversity in different areas (languages, education, communication and new media development, and creativity and the marketplace) based on data and examples collected from around the world, the report is also intended for the general public. It proposes a coherent vision of cultural diversity and clarifies how, far from being a threat, it can become beneficial to the action of the international community.
