This book was released on 2001-09-30 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta publicacion se presenta un analisis economico de la productividad de los suelos en el Africa subsahariana. La degradacion creciente y la perdida de fertilidad de estos suelos son factores importantes que dificultan el alivio de la pobreza y la consecucion de la seguridad alimentaria. Reconociendo la gravedad del problema, el Banco Mundial, la FAO y organismos asociados estan apoyando la implementacion de programas nacionales de accion en el ambito de la Iniciativa de fertilidad de suelos. Estudios realizados por centros de excelencia, donantes, universidades y organizaciones internacionales han aportado informaciones que permiten comprender mejor las cuestiones de fertilidad de los suelos desde una perspectiva tecnica. El analisis economico del fenomeno de la degradacion facilita la articulacion de recomendaciones estrategicas y de politica, que son de interes para los responsables de las politicas, planificadores y organismos que ejecutan programas de mejoramiento de la productividad de los suelos. Se debate tambien si la economia puede aportar una contribucion para el logro de los objetivos de la seguridad alimentaria y de la agricultura sostenible."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa is a critical development priority-it has some of the world's poorest countries and during the past two decades the number of poor in the Region has doubled, to 300 million-more than 40 percent of the Region's population. Africa remains behind on most of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and is unlikely to reach them by 2015. With some of the world's poorest countries, Africa is a development priority for the donor community. A major drag on Africa's development is the underperformance of the critical agriculture sector, which has been neglected both by donors and governments over the past two decades. The sector faces a variety of constraints that are particular to agriculture in Africa and make its development a complex challenge. Poor governance and conflict in several countries further complicate matters. IEG has assessed the development effectiveness of World Bank assistance in addressing constraints to agricultural development in Africa over the period of fiscal 1991-2006.

Download or read book Labor Markets And Agricultural Production written by Jan Douwe van der Ploeg and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the complex and often contradictory relationships between agricultural production and markets, Labor, Markets, and Agricultural Production examines the micro-macro linkages between farm production, farm labor issues, and the degree of autonomy or dependency vis-Ã -vis markets. By comparing the case of farmers in Peru, generally regarded as peripheral agricultural producers, with that of European farmers able to easily access the centralized markets of the EEC, Dr. van der Ploeg is able to draw general conclusions about the ongoing process of commoditization of agriculture and the roles farmers play in agrarian development.
Download or read book History and Hunger in West Africa written by Laura Bigman and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-06-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Africa entered the 1990s, the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission on Africa declared the continent incapable of feeding at least one-fifth of its peoples. Africa is the only region in the world where per capita food production is actually declining. Even with imports, the average African gets only enough nourishment to meet 85 percent of the minimum daily calorie requirement. This book analyzes the contemporary food crisis in Africa from an historical perspective, using two West African case studies. From the perspective of food production and entitlement, the volume traces the economic history of Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde beginning with the slave trade, through the colonial and postcolonial periods to democratization and structural adjustment. Using the theory and methodology of political economy, the study argues that the way in which African societies have been integrated into the world market diverted resources from food production, exacerbated exploitation, thus affecting entitlement to the food produced. Conditions for national food dependency and the degradation of the environment ensued.
