Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study contains general background material on Colombia's physical resources -- topography , climate , soils , forests , and minerals. It analyzes the factors influencing demand for agricultural products; reviews general policies and goals toward agricultural production and trade; and examines production practices and transportation and marketing facilities. The report gives location, area, and production of all leading crops grown in the country; production of vegetable oils; and location of livestock and agricultural production centers. The study also traces Colombian economic development during the past two decades. Statistical data relate to economic growth, land use, agricultural trade, and production of all principal crops and livestock products.

Download or read book Advances in Information and Communication Technologies for Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change written by Plamen Angelov and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents novel communication technology solutions to address the effects of climate change and climate variability on agriculture, with a particular focus on those that increase agricultural production. It discusses decision support and early warning systems for agriculture; information technology (IT) supporting sustainable water management and land cover dynamics; predictive of crop production models; and software applications for reducing the effects of diseases and pests on crops. Further topics include the real-time monitoring of weather conditions and water quality, as well as food security issues. Featuring the proceedings of the International Conference of ICT for Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change (AACC’17), held on November 22–24, 2017, in Popayán, Colombia, the book represents a timely report and a source of new ideas and solutions for both researchers and practitioners active in the agricultural sector around the globe.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 846 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural research was probably the first and is the most widespread form of organised research in the world, and one in which both the most developed and underdeveloped countries are engaged. Whilst most forms of research activity, such as in the field of medicine, have world wide application, agricultural research, by its very nature, has to be regional; practically no research finding can be adopted without studying the results of its application under the infinite number of ecological situations with which the farmers of the world are faced. The improvement of agricultural production is the essential first step whereby developing countries can hope to raise their standard of living. Research is therefore an activity in which no underdeveloped country can afford not to engage; nor can countries in which agriculture has reached a high level of development and sophistication afford to neglect agricultural research. It is not because of inertia or vested interests that highly industrialised countries maintain, mostly at public expense, a costly and complex infrastructure for agricultural research. Even when problems of overproduction weigh heavily on the economy, agricultural research is considered the essential key to further progress: the objectives and goals are simply changed and adapted to the needs of the economy.

Download or read book Policy Recommendations to Improve the Competitiveness of Small Scale Farmers in Colombia Through Information and Communication Technologies written by Natalia Carolina Maya Ortiz Maya and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half of the Colombian population lives in regions dependent on primary activities such as agriculture, livestock, and fishing. This sector is characterized for being a mix of two kinds of productive systems: large-scale commercial enterprises and small-scale peasant farms. It is estimated that peasants comprise around a third of Colombia's population, contribute more than 60% of the agricultural production and around 30% of the livestock production. The amount of direct consumption goods that come from small scale producers goes from 22% to 65%, depending on the product. Despite its economic and social relevance, small-scale agriculture receives less attention from the government than the large-scale agriculture. This is reflected in the lack of policies aimed to help improve the competitiveness of small-scale farmers. Over the last decade, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been recognized by their impact in the development of countries, and their incorporation in strategies to help the agriculture sector is considered essential. Unfortunately, just large-scale production systems have been able to take advantage of the advantages of an ICT-supported development paradigm. The goal of this thesis is to make policy recommendations as to how ICT could effectively stimulate the development of small-scale agriculture. In order to do this an analysis of the food market supply chain is conducted, including learnings from two detailed cased studies in major markets in Colombia (Bazurto and Corabastos). This thesis argues that, in order to overcome some of the current challenges of small-scale agriculture, a systemic view of the food supply chain system is needed. Traditional approaches like local regulation, infrastructure "modernization" and disintermediation, tend to be myopic and are unable to achieve long-term impact. A description of the multiple actors and stakeholders of the small-scale agricultural supply chain is presented, alongside with learnings of successful (and failed) ICT strategies. Specific policy recommendations are made that aim, through the use of mobile technologies, to improve the coordination among the different supply chain agents.
