Download or read book Comparative Agriculture written by Hubert Cochet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first section dedicated to theoretical thoughts on comparative agriculture, Hubert Cochet introduces the notion of “agricultural development”, the very subject of comparative agriculture, with a restored endogenous dimension. He then describes how this approach was slowly consolidated, around the concept of agrarian system in particular. The comparison of agricultural transformations in time and space highlights the importance of the comparatist approach to production processes, their trajectories and differentiation on a worldwide scale. The second section which focuses on the methods and expertise of comparative agriculture, tackles the issues of landscape analysis, field surveys and the historical approach underlying comparative agriculture. It sums up the economic tools mobilised as well as the evaluation perspectives opened up by comparative agriculture.
Download or read book Sustainable Development and Tropical Agri chains written by Estelle Biénabe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-20 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book links tropical agri-chain dynamics – with which CIRAD and AFD have been involved for decades – to that of sustainable development. Increased environmental and social concerns urge agri-chain actors and development practitioners to design innovations, and public and private actors to invent regulations in connection with agri-chains to improve sustainability.With a view to contributing towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book examines the different roles of agri-chains: as vectors of development, as spaces of innovation, as objects of evaluation, and as arenas of regulation. It builds upon the findings and experiences of CIRAD and its researchers together with their Southern partners, and of AFD and its officers.Linking agricultural production with the other economic sectors, agri- chains are key spaces where local and global challenges to sustainability meet and where local and global actors experiment interlinked or common solutions.

Book excerpt: La première édition de cet ouvrage remonte à 1980. Ni somme théorique, ni simple manuel d'instructions, il se voulait surtout un " pont " entre ces deux approches, un guide pratique pour faciliter l'application des diverses méthodes utilisées, en matière d'évaluation des projets, dans les pays en développement et les institutions internationales. Ses éditions successives témoignent de l'intérêt que lui ont porté de nombreux étudiants et professionnels du monde francophone. La crise mondiale a fait peser depuis lors des contraintes macroéconomiques accrues sur les politiques nationales et sur le choix des investissements. La réalisation des " projets " n'en reste pas moins l'instrument obligé du développement économique et leur analyse en est plus que jamais une étape essentielle. C'est dans cette perspective que s'inscrit la cinquième édition de notre " guide pratique ". Profondément remanié pour répondre aux préoccupations actuelles, il comporte notamment, plusieurs contributions nouvelles sur l'utilisation de l'outil informatique et sur les études d'environnement.
Download or read book The Discovery of the Third World written by Christoph Kalter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative account of how the concept of the 'Third World' emerged in France from the mid-1950s through to the mid-1970s alongside a new leftist movement. The book reveals how, in an age of Cold War, decolonization and development thinking, French activists rose to prominence within the political Left, established transnational contacts, and developed a new global consciousness. Using the 'Third World' concept to reinvigorate anticolonial solidarity, they supported the Algerian FLN, the Cuban Revolution, and the liberation movements in Vietnam and Portuguese Africa. Insisting on the postcolonial character of France after the end of empire, they promoted new forms of cooperation with developing countries and immigrant workers. Examining the work of French leftists in publications such as Partisans, parties such as the PSU, and associations like the CEDETIM, Kalter sheds new light on a crucial moment in France's history, the global contexts that prompted it, and its worldwide ramifications.
Download or read book Benefit cost Analysis written by A. Allan Schmid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice is the name of the game. Government sets the size of the public budget and decides which public projects it will invest in and which transfers and regulations it will implement. To do this systematically the government must have a procedure that displays the consequences of the alternatives. This book is an exposition of benefit-cost analysis (BCA), an analytic framework for organizing thoughts, listing the pros and cons of alternatives, and determining values for all relevant factors so that the alternatives can be ranked. A major question illuminated by this text is whether the results of such an analysis can instruct government--in the sense of telling it what it must do to avoid being labelled stupid, corrupt, irrational, and/or inefficient. How and when, we will ask, can the benefit-cost analyst label a particular governmental investment, policy, or regulation as political (in the pejorative sense) as opposed to economic (in the laudatory sense of being economically justified)? This book will argue that BCA is much like a consumer information system. Consumer information neither tells consumers what to do nor tells them what they should want. However, it does tell them which products will perform in selected ways and at what costs. And this information, together with the independently arrived at wants, helps the consumer make intelligent choices.

Book excerpt: La microfinance a déjà quelque histoire. Le défaut de prendre en compte la complexité des relations et conceptions humaines peut donner quelques effets de mode. La nécessité de mieux travailler les relations essentielles entre les valeurs humains et leurs rapports aux sciences, dans une sorte de bon art de la "consiliance" doit et redéfinir des pratiques économiques, plus en rapport avec la maitrise approximative démocratique de la complexité. Pour cela d'explorer aussi bien des formes schématiques plus agiles et d'avoir confiance dans les capacités cognitives humaines. De prendre acte enfin, des limites de trop peu de pensées uniformisantes, qu'il s'agisse de cartésianisme pseudo-scientifique imposé par les technocrates ou de pragmatisme exécutif réducteur imposé par les utilitaristes monétaristes.
