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. 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. 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...

ISBN: 9780821386231 / Angielski / Miękka / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The process of rural-urban transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for development.

The importance of rural-urban transition has been confirmed by two consecutive World Development Reports: WDR 2008 Agriculture for Development; and WDR 2009 Reshaping Economic Geography. Focusing on Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, this book picks up where the WDRs left off,...

Dealing with consumer uncertainty: Public Relations in the Food Sector
ISBN: 9783642076381 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. My studies on the "uncertain consumer" began with a research project c- ducted by the Dr. Rainer Wild-Stiftung - Foundation for healthy nutrition - on the negative image of processed food. Ever since then I have been asked whether or not growing consumer uncertainty is linked to information po- cies of the food sector and if so, how. Intensive three-year research showed that industrial methods of food production are predestined to result in wayward fears and worry over its healthiness. This is due to the fact that during the process of industrialisation, we gradually passed responsibility for...

ISBN: 9781108024730 / Angielski / Miękka / 582 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sir James Caird (1816 1892) was a Scottish agriculturalist and M.P., who wrote widely on agricultural matters, not only in Britain but in Ireland, Canada, America and India.

Investments in public Research and Development, extension, education, and their links with one another have elicited high returns and pro-poor growth, but these investments alone will not elicit innovation at the pace or on the scale required by the intensifying and proliferating challenges confronting agriculture. Experience indicates that aside from a strong capacity in Research and...
