Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first and the foremost act of human being in this world is to communicate. The first cry of the newly born child is meant to communicate to the world that he is born alive and well. Since birth every living moment of his/her consists of a series of learning through communication by cries, symbols, gestures and language. Communication is the mechanism through which human relations exist and develop. In the terminology of social sciences the process of transmitting meaningful symbols between individuals is designated a 'communication'. It is only through transmission of meaning from one person to another that information and ideas can be conveyed.

Download or read book Family Farming In Europe And America written by Boguslaw Galeski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has happened since agricultural economists and rural sociologists met at the University of Chicago in 1946 to discuss family farming. The problems and issues related to the structure of agriculture have been intensified by current economic considerations, which promote the growth of larger-scale commercial farming operations and edge out many smaller farms owned, operated, and worked by families. In this book, contributors from eleven nations in Europe and North America provide a comparison of farm structure under different economic and political systems, including Poland as an example of a non-market economy. In addition to providing information on how local, state, and international policies have affected the agricultural enterprise, they look at the role of farmers' organizations in policy formulation and take note of changes in farm patterns and policies that have had an impact on farm production, off-farm work, and the welfare of farm families and rural communities.

Download or read book The Economics of Managing Crop Diversity On farm written by Edilegnaw Wale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to assess a variety of economic issues as they relate to agro-biodiversity and show how addressing these issues can assist in agro-biodiversity policy-making. This is illustrated using empirical data from some of the countries (Ethiopia, Nepal and Zambia) which are part of the Genetic Resources Policy Initiative. The empirical chapters apply the relevant economic methods, including regression analysis, choice experiments, hedonic pricing, contingent valuation and farm business income analysis. The authors discuss the economics of managing crop diversity on-farm in the context of crop variety attribute preferences, farmers' perception of agro-biodiversity loss, and value addition and marketing of the products of traditional crop varieties. The case studies include detailed analysis of traditional varieties of groundnut, maize, rice, sorghum, and teff. The results are relevant not only to GRPI countries but also to other countries concerned with the sustainable utilization of these resources. Overall, the studies illustrate how genetic resources issues can be integrated into rural development interventions.

Download or read book Agricultural Extension Worldwide written by William M. Rivera and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, Agricultural Extension Worldwide presents an international perspective on agricultural extension and highlights extension as an integral function of agricultural development. Agricultural extension is one of the largest nonformal problem-solving educational systems in the world. It is generally concerned with transferring knowledge and research to farmers but may include services to other target audiences such as farm families and rural youth, as well as serve for developing rural community resources. In sixteen chapters, various major systems of extension are discussed along with factors that make for their success or failure, including the linkages required and the policy and financial supports necessary to make them effective. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers of agricultural economics, agricultural policy and agriculture in general.
Download or read book Global Warming and Agriculture written by William R Cline and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2007-07-30 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How will global warming affect developing countries, which rely heavily on agriculture as a source of economic growth? William Cline asserts that developing countries have more at risk, such as their production capacity, than industrial countries as global warming worsens. Using general circulation models, Cline boldly examines 2071–99 to forecast the effects of global warming and its economic impact into the next decade. This detailed study outlines existing studies on climate change; Cline finds the Stern Report for the UK government's estimates most reliable; estimates projected changes in temperature, precipitation, and agricultural capacity; and concludes with policy recommendations. Cline finds that agricultural production in developing countries may fall an average of 16 percent, and if global warming progresses at its current rate, India's agricultural capacity could fall as much as 40 percent. Thus, policymakers should address this phenomenon now before the world's developing countries are adversely and irreversibly affected.
