Download or read book Assessment and Governance of Sustainable Soil Management written by Katharina Helming and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of soils for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is multifarious. Soils are the essential basis for food and biomass provision in support of food security (SDG 2) and energy security (SDG 7). Soil carbon sequestration is paramount for climate action (SDG 13). Soil-mediated water purification and retention, nutrient and matter cycling, and soils habitat functions are essential for maintaining ecosystem services and biodiversity (SDG 15). Healthy soils perform well in all these functions simultaneously. However, the globally increasing demand for food, fiber, and bio-based products poses massive challenges to soil health. Minimizing trade-offs between biomass production and soil health requires systemic approaches to assessment and governance of sustainable soil management in agriculture and food systems. It provides interdisciplinary insights into key questions: What are the impacts of agricultural management practices on sustainability targets in specific geophysical and socio-economic contexts? What are the opportunities and risks of future trends such as climate change, digitalization, and emerging technologies for soil management and soil health? How can institutions and governance instruments be improved to enable decision makers to take action on sustainable soil management? The book was initiated in the frame of the National German research program ‘BonaRes—Soil as a sustainable resource for the bioeconomy’, and it is meant to trigger interdisciplinary thinking.

Download or read book Manual De Manejo Sustentable Del Cultivo De Jitomate En Invernadero written by A.C. Opic and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2013-05-03 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Como en todo el territorio nacional, la agricultura protegida en el estado de Quertaro se est convirtiendo en una estrategia de futuro para los agricultores pequeos. Esto no es una casualidad, ante la crisis en el campo, el cultivo de jitomate y otras hortalizas (pimiento, pepino, meln, etc.) se han anclado en la simpata de los agricultores debido a los resultados productivamente visibles, el uso de tecnologas viables y econmicamente rentables. Es decir, el esfuerzo invertido se traduce en resultados econmicos e inmediatos para las familias. De esta manera, la produccin en invernadero representa una alternativa viable de produccin y al mismo tiempo una oportunidad de negocio para los pequeos productores. Veamos por ejemplo, en una superficie de 1,000 m2 existe un potencial de produccin de 35 toneladas, mientras que a cielo abierto esta misma produccin se obtiene en una superficie de 10,000 m2. Esto significa garantizar y recuperar la inversin del capital en el corto plazo (2 a 3 aos). El cultivo de jitomate sigue siendo el principal producto que proporciona los mayores ingresos econmicos a los agricultores, es por ello, es urgente mejorar su manejo productivo con nfasis en la sustentabilidad. El documento recoge el conocimiento prctico del trabajo de campo de productores y promotores. Es decir, la experiencia proviene directamente de los productores. De ninguna manera pretende ser un texto acadmico, sino un manual de apoyo tcnico para ser utilizado en la prctica diaria del productor. No obstante, la informacin expuesta no es la ltima, ni tampoco intenta ofrecer un manojo de recetas tecnolgicas, sino un abanico de opciones tecnolgicas que incorpore en el productor principios y metodologas, con el fin de ir probando y cada vez descubriendo nuevas maneras de hacer las actividades en el cultivo, para adaptarse a cada invernadero segn su necesidad, sin perder de vista la eficiencia y el momento oportuno para hacer los trabajos. El manual sintetiza un plan de actividades que el agricultor debe hacer de manera eficiente y oportuna; es decir, bien hechas y en el momento clave, y para ello, se requiere una alta disciplina del productor. Slo de esta forma tendr altas probabilidades de lograr un aumento de su rendimiento. En otras palabras, el mejoramiento en el manejo del cultivo de jitomate como toda actividad agrcola es un trabajo de arte. Es decir, los productores deben estar convencidos de que el trabajo en el cultivo depende de la comprensin de las actividades que del estricto cumplimiento de una serie de recetas; adems de su entusiasmo, pero sobre todo, deben creer en su propia capacidad para aplicar los conocimientos con dedicacin y espritu innovador.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.
