Agrarian Capitalism in Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780807857106 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Susan Mann focuses on a longstanding controversy in sociological theory: why has agriculture been traditionally resistant to wage labor? Capitalist develoment has been slower and more uneven in agriculture than in other spheres of production, and major parts of the rural economy remain almost preindustrial in their reliance on family labor, lack of separation between industry and household, and failure to develop a highly specialized division of labor. Emphasizing the agriculture of the American South, Mann adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing insights from history and economics as...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In recent years, the integrity of food production and distribution has become an issue of wide social concern. The media frequently report on cases of food contamination as well as on the risks of hormones and cloning.

In Food Chains, Warren Belasco and Roger Horowitz present a collection of fascinating case...

New Seeds and Poor People
ISBN: 9780415595377 / Angielski / Twarda / 492 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) First published in 1989, this book deals with the impact of cereal production upon the Third World, specifically Modern Varieties' (MVs). Using evidence from plant breeding, economics and nutrition science, the authors seek to pinpoint what has been achieved, what has gone wrong and what needs to be done in future. Although the technical innovations of MVs mean more employment, cheaper food and less risk for small farmers, the reduction in crop diversity increases the risk of danger from pests and though MVs enlarge cereal stocks, many are too poor to afford them. The book concludes that...

The Green Revolution Revisited: Critique and Alternatives
ISBN: 9780415592499 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Green Revolution - the apparently miraculous increase in cereal crop yields achieved in the 1960s - came under severe criticism in the 1970s because of its demands for optimal irrigation, intensive use of fertilisers and pesticides; its damaging impact on social structures; and its monoculture approach. The early 1980s saw a concerted approach to many of these criticisms under the auspices of Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). This book, first published in 1987, analyses the recent achievements of the CGIAR and examines the Green Revolution concept in...

The world population is growing fast. From six billion people in 2000, it is expected to pass nine billion by 2050. The urban population will double.

Food for the Few: Neoliberal Globalism and Biotechnology in Latin America
ISBN: 9780292726130 / Angielski / Miękka / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Recent decades have seen tremendous changes in Latin America's agricultural sector, resulting from a broad program of liberalization instigated under pressure from the United States, the IMF, and the World Bank. Tariffs have been lifted, agricultural markets have been opened and privatized, land reform policies have been restricted or eliminated, and the perspective has shifted radically toward exportation rather than toward the goal of feeding local citizens. Examining the impact of these transformations, the contributors to Food for the Few: Neoliberal Globalism and Biotechnology...

A Comprehensive Assessment of the Role of Risk in U.S. Agriculture
ISBN: 9781441949240 / Angielski / Miękka / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) After all the research on agricultural risk to date, the treatment of risk in agricultural research is far from harmonious. Many competing risk models have been proposed. Some new methodologies are largely untested. Some of the leading empirical methodologies in agricultural economic research are poorly suited for problems with aggregate data where risk averse behavior is less likely to be important.
This book is intended to (i) define the current state of the literature on agricultural risk research, (ii) provide a critical evaluation of economic risk research on agriculture to date and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The contributions in this publication are an outcome of growing concerns around the world about the prevailing inefficiencies in agriculture and agribusiness and the need to improve productivity, profitability, and financial sustainability of agriculture and agribusiness by privatizing state- owned enterprises and eliminating unnecessary government regulations.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The process of rural-urban transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for development. If managed effectively, it can result in growth that benefits everyone; if managed poorly, it can lead to stark welfare disparities and entire regions cut off from the advantages of agglomeration economies.

Focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, this book picks up where the WDRs left off,...
