Book excerpt: Brazil increased agricultural output about 4,5 percente a year from 1947 to 1965, mainly by expanding the cultivated area, but it has the potential to double the area cultivated. Agricultural production grew more rapidly than population in the 1950's and 1960's, but crop yields remained low and traditional practices were followed with low levels of fertilization. Human labor is the only source of power on three-fourths of the farms. Agricultural output increased rapidly enough to meet rising demands for farm products resulting from population and income growth and to permit some exports. Agriculture has remained the principal economic activity and source of foreign exchange earnings in Brazil with coffee being the major export. The agricultural labor force rose about 2 percent a year, and output per farmworker rose almost as fast.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Development in Brazil: A Case Study of Sao Paulo The rapid modernization of Brazilian agriculture, particularly in the southern half of the country, can be measured in part by the rapid increase in the use of farm machinery and chemical fertilizers. Between i96o and i97o, the number of tractors in use in Brazil increased by l47 percent, and fertilizer use increased 228 percent. Government policies during the period greatly increased the general availability of credit; provided credit at below market rates for the purchase of tractors, fertil izers, and other modern inputs; and removed taxes on tractor production. Labor legislation which increased the real wages and other benefits to farmworkers also provided farm owners with an incentive to adopt less labor-intensive techniques.

Download or read book Crop Production written by United States Crop Reporting Board and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crop Production: July 1, 1947 Current estimates of planted acreages, for the 17 creps included ln the prospective-plantings report, fall short by over 4. 6 million acres, or gpercent, of the total prospective plantings reported in March. Shifts between creps are more significant than usual. Particularly significant in this connection is the larger than expected acreage of winter wheat and rye for harvest, which accounts for nearly half of the difference between the March intentions and current estimates of actual plantings. Also cotton acreage is 3. 2 million acres larger than in 1946. These pwe shifts have been important factors in limiting the acreage available for sorghums in the Southwesto The planted acreage of sorghums is about million acres below the Intentions estimate. The planted acreage of cats falls nearly 4 million acres, about 8% percent, below that intended, chiefly in the North Central region where three-fourths of the cats acreage lies. Corn acreage is nearly million acres below that intended, chiefly in Iowa and adjacent parts of Nebraska, Minnesota and.wisconsin, and in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. On the other hand, spring wheat acreage is acres above the March estimate, chiefly due to heavy seedings in the strip of northern States from Washington to North and South Dakota. Part of this is at the expense of flax acreage, which is 176, 000 acres below that planned, largely in North Dakota and Montana. Barley acreage exceeds intentions by more than a half million acres, especially in North Dakota and California, the leading barley States. Part of the decrease in corn acreage is made up in soybeans, which increased more than a half million acres above the March estimate. Other changes were sli ght acreage decreases in potatoes, sweetpotatoes, dry peas, dry beans, and sugar beets, and increases in rice, tobacco, peanuts, and.cowpeas. The hay acreage is virtually the same as estimated in March. Since part of the computed difference in acreage has new been.planted to cotton or will be sewn to catch creps, such as buckwheat or millet, it is likely that less than a million acres of it may remain'uncropped., mostly where flood waters have made fields unworkable until too late. The flooded crep acreage, while serious locally, is a relatively small portion of the total. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents frontier knowledge on the drivers of agriculture productivity to derive pragmatic policy advice for governments and development partners on reducing poverty and boosting shared prosperity. The analysis describes global trends and long-term sources of total factor productivity growth, along with broad trends in partial factor productivity for land and labor, revisiting the question of scale economies in farming. Technology is central to growth in agricultural productivity, yet across many parts of the developing world, readily available technology is never taken up. We investigate demand-side constraints of the technology equation to analyze factors that might influence producers, particularly poor producers, to adopt modern technology. Agriculture and food systems are rapidly transforming, characterized by shifting food preferences, the rise and growing sophistication of value chains, the increasing globalization of agriculture, and the expanding role of the public and private sectors in bringing about efficient and more rapid productivity growth. In light of this transformation, the analysis focuses on the supply side of the technology equation, exploring how the enabling environment and regulations related to trade and intellectual property rights stimulate Research and Development to raise productivity. The book also discusses emerging developments in modern value chains that contribute to rising productivity. This book is the fourth volume of the World Bank Productivity Project, which seeks to bring frontier thinking on the measurement and determinants of productivity to global policy makers.
Download or read book The Global Food Crisis written by Jennifer Clapp and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2009-09-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global food crisis is a stark reminder of the fragility of the global food system. The Global Food Crisis: Governance Challenges and Opportunities captures the debate about how to go forward and examines the implications of the crisis for food security in the world’s poorest countries, both for the global environment and for the global rules and institutions that govern food and agriculture. In this volume, policy-makers and scholars assess the causes and consequences of the most recent food price volatility and examine the associated governance challenges and opportunities, including short-term emergency responses, the ecological dimensions of the crisis, and the longer-term goal of building sustainable global food systems. The recommendations include vastly increasing public investment in small-farm agriculture; reforming global food aid and food research institutions; establishing fairer international agricultural trade rules; promoting sustainable agricultural methods; placing agriculture higher on the post-Kyoto climate change agenda; revamping biofuel policies; and enhancing international agricultural policy-making.
