This book was released on 2011-02-16 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report MPs recommend changes to the way money from the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is used to support hill farmers. Farming, in particular grazing livestock, is an essential part of the landscapes and traditional systems of land management in these beautiful and fragile areas. A return to headage payments in limited circumstances, with appropriate environmental conditions to prevent overstocking, would provide fairer funding to hill farmers. The Committee also calls on the Government to do more to enable hill farmers to diversify into other land management activities-such as carbon storage and water quality schemes. The report calls on the Government to demonstrate a stronger commitment to upland communities. Having abolished the Commission for Rural Communities - the public body that advised Government on rural issues -the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs must ensure that rural policies and their delivery are not neglected. Ministers should: publish a strategy for the uplands that sets out a clear action plan with practical measures to be implemented immediately; provide strong leadership to make sure that rural and upland communities get a fair deal; create a statutory definition of the uplands to assist in targeting policy; ensure all farmers and rural communities can get access to development grants once RDAs have been abolished; work across Government to put in place policies that support those that live and work in the uplands, in particular rolling out super-fast broadband for remote rural communities and increasing the availability of affordable housing.

Book excerpt: The history of British agriculture in the first half of the twentieth century has focused on productivity and the contribution of the industry to feeding the nation in wartime. The 'national farm' has been the object of study and even where regional differences have been acknowledged the spotlight has been on the cereal producers of the south and east of Britain. Through a study of the county of Westmorland, this thesis turns attention to the pastoral areas of the north and west. It also shifts the focus from productivity to profitability and seeks to uncover the viability of fanning in terms of cash flow and profit. The study recognizes that the uplands are not homogenous and varying geography and micro climates mean units in close proximity offer different opportunities for production and profit. The study therefore analyses the financial outturns for three different upland zones which reflect the physical variations of the landscape and climate, and whilst acknowledging the wide range of factors contributing to financial results, the study identifies the broader patterns in the mosaic of detail. The research has revealed a reversal in fortunes for farmers in different upland locations over the study period. Prosperity moved down valley after 1929 as dairy production replaced sheep rearing as the farmers' insurance policy. The legislative intervention of the 1930s followed by wartime pricing and production policy further marginalised the upland hill farmer to leave him vulnerable to the catastrophic winter of 194 7 when disaster relief funding was required to prevent some abandoning their farms. Yet, the picture of upland farming was not one of unrelieved gloom and the research concurs with recent revisionist work on innovation and change in the interwar period. The study makes a regional contribution to revisionist national histories and shows that although war was good for the farming industry not all farmers had a good war.

Download or read book Transforming the Indonesian Uplands written by Tania Li and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-06-27 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon current theoretical debates in social anthropology, development studies and political ecology, and presenting original research from across the Archipelago, this book addresses the changing histories and identities of upland people as they relate in new ways to the natural resource base, to markets and to the state. It is an engaged study, which fills important analytical gaps and addresses real-world concerns, exploring the uplands as components of national and global systems of meaning, power, and production. It offers a significant re-assessment of concepts, processes, histories, relationships and discourses, many of which are not unique to either the uplands or Indonesia, making the book essential and compelling reading for both scholars and practitioners.

Fröhlich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the findings of a long-term (2000-2014) interdisciplinary research project of the University of Hohenheim in collaboration with several universities in Thailand and Vietnam. Titled Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Mountainous Areas in Southeast Asia, or the Uplands Program, the project aims to contribute through agricultural research to the conservation of natural resources and the improvement of living conditions of the rural population in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Having three objectives the book first aims to give an interdisciplinary account of the drivers, consequences and challenges of ongoing changes in mountainous areas of Southeast Asia. Second, the book describes how innovation processes can contribute to addressing these challenges and third, how knowledge creation to support change in policies and institutions can assist in sustainably develop mountain areas and people’s livelihoods.
