Indigenous Fruit Trees in the Tropics: Domestication, Utillization and Commercialization
ISBN: 9781845931100 / Angielski / Twarda / 438 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It has been recognized that an important factor in improving the viability of rural livelihoods in developing countries is the promotion of sustainable agriculture. As opposed to relying solely on cash crops, this can be more easily achieved through the domestication of various indigenous fruit trees that can be cultivated and owned by smallholder farmers. Through multi-functional and integrated farming systems, these tree crops can support environmental and social sustainability by providing food as well as promoting economic growth. Twenty years ago, little was known about the biology,...

Biological Control of Tropical Weeds Using Arthropods
ISBN: 9780521877916 / Angielski / Twarda / 495 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Weeds are a major constraint to agricultural production, particularly in the developing world. Cost-efficient biological control is a self-sustaining way to reduce this problem, and produces fewer non-target effects than chemical methods, which can cause serious damage to the environment. This book covers the origin, distribution, and ecology of twenty model invasive weed species, which occur in habitats from tropical to temperate to aquatic. Sustainable biological control of each weed using one or more arthropods is discussed. The aim is to provide ecological management models for use across...

Tropical Vegetable Production
ISBN: 9781845937539 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sustainable crop production is vital to ensure that supplies of fresh vegetables and their products are readily available. However, food security still remains a huge problem in areas of the world, including the tropics and sub-tropics, where communities rely solely on subsistence farming to meet their day-to-day food demands. It is evident that food production needs to become more sustainable to ensure economic stability and poverty reduction. With this in mind, Tropical Vegetable Production addresses the problems surrounding vegetable production in developing countries. Divided into...

Economics of Banana Production and Marketing in the Tropics. a Case Study of Cameroon
ISBN: 9789956726547 / Angielski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In most African countries, banana production has been consigned to subsistence production. However, a few countries, especially in Francophone West Africa, have recognised the commercial importance of banana, and have used their special relationship with France to export bananas. This has led to the dualization of the banana sector, with the traditional system existing side by side with a modern sector geared towards export trade. This book is one of the few comprehensive studies that have incorporated both the agronomic and economic aspects of banana production and marketing in Africa. It...

Cabi
ISBN: 9780851993881 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Diseases caused by Ganoderma species cause major losses of palms and other perennial crops throughout the world, and these are particularly significant in Asia. Successive replanting of crop monocultures can be rapidly exploited by soil-borne fungi such as Ganoderma, and the problem will become more serious in the 21st century, as more areas become due for second or even third replanting. Environmental considerations will reduce exploitation of new forest areas, making further replanting of these crops inevitable. Thus, appropriate, integrated management systems for these diseases are vital....

There is an urgent need to increase agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa in a sustainable and economically-viable manner.

Power Generation in China: Research, Policy and Management
ISBN: 9781844643356 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This timely book examines the reform of China's vast power generation network and its future energy efficiency and environmental policies. Coal being used for power generation accounts for 54% of China's sulphur dioxide emissions. In 2009, electricity generation consumed 50gce more coal than the international advanced level, which means 180 million tons of standard coal equivalent was over consumed in that year (3681.2 billion kWh). In 2009, the line loss rate of the PRC's power grid reached 6.49%, which is 1% higher than the world's advanced level. More than 30 billion KWh of electricity was...

Crops and Carbon: Paying Farmers to Combat Climate Change
ISBN: 9781849713757 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. Rich countries are paying poor countries to fight climate change on their behalf - and one way they are doing it is through carbon sinks. These are reservoirs of organic carbon tied up in plants and in the earth, rather than being in the atmosphere as greenhouse gases. This book looks critically at this mode of climate change mitigation. Can it work? Is it just? Will poorer countries benefit? The book considers the scientific, economic and ethical basis for this type of mitigation. Previous attention has been focused mainly on reducing emissions from deforestation and land...
