Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les dernières estimations que des progrès vers la réalisation de l'objectif du Sommet mondial de l'alimentation (SMA) sont possibles. Elles indiquent également et de façon irréfutable que sans un engagement redoublé, aux niveaux national et mondial, l'objectif de réduire de moitié le nombre des personnes souffrant de la faim d'ici à 2015 ne sera pas atteint. Dans toutes les régions en développement, un certain nombre de pays ont réussi à réduire la faim, de manière sensible et constante, depuis 1990-1992, la période de référence du Sommet mondial de l'alimentation. Malheureusement, ces pays sont une exception et non pas la règle. En 1999-2001, le nombre des personnes sous-alimentées dans l'ensemble du monde en développement était estime à 798 millions, soit à peine 19 millions de moins que pendant la période de référence du SMA. Pire encore, au cours de la période de quatre ans pour laquelle on dispose de données récentes, aucune diminution du nombre estimatif des personnes sous-alimentées n'a été enregistrée dans les pays en développement, En réalité, ce nombre a augmenté de 4,5 millions par an. Cette cinquième édition de L'état de l'insécurité alimentaire dans le monde présente en détail les récentes tendances observées dans les pays en développement et dans les pays en transition. Elle contient également une analyse des facteurs qui ont favorisé ou entravé les efforts déployés vers l'objectif du SMA. D'autres articles analysent l'impact sur la sécurité alimentaire de facteurs aussi divers que la pandémie de VIH/SIDA, la gestion améliorée des ressources en eau et l'intégration croissante des pays en développement dans les marchés et les accords commerciaux internationaux. La présente édition du SOFI met en relief l'existence de signes prometteurs indiquant que de nombreux pays considèrent la persistance de la faim non pas comme un motif de désespoir, mais plutôt comme une incitation urgente à l'action. Divers pays ont lancé des campagnes agressives pour la réalisation de l'objectif du SMA sur le territoire national. Plusieurs d'entre eux se sont engagés à éradiquer totalement la faim. Les stratégies mises en œuvre pour y parvenir renferment les éléments clés d'une action sur deux fronts conjuguant des interventions immédiates destinées à garantir l'accès des personnes souffrant de la faim à la nourriture, et des initiatives de développement visant à augmenter l'emploi, le revenu et la production vivrière dans les communautés appauvries. Ces pays montrent le chemin à suivre. Avec un engagement comparable à l'échelle mondiale, l'objectif du SMA est encore réalisable.

Book excerpt: A best seller in France, and already translated into Spanish, Italian, Greek, and Korean, Hervé Kempf'sHow the Rich Are Destroying the Earth now appears in its first English edition. Bringing to bear more than twenty years of experience as an environmental journalist, Kempf describes the invincibility that many of the world's wealthy feel in the face of global warming, and how their unchecked privilege is thwarting action on the single most vexing problem facing our world.In this important primer on the link between global ecology and the global economy, Kempf makes the following observations: First, that the planet's ecological situation is growing ever worse, despite the efforts of millions of engaged citizens around the world. And second, despite environmentalists' emphasis that "we're all in the same boat," the world's economic elites--who continue to benefit by plundering the environment--have access to "lifeboats" that insulate them from the resulting catastrophes.Societies have not been able to effectively combat the expanding ecological crisis because it is intimately linked to the social crisis in which the ruling form of capitalism has been organized to impede democratic initiatives. This link explains the failure to make progress against the greatest emergency of our time, because in this relationship the oligarchy plays an essential and destructive role. For this reason, solving the ecological crisis depends on disrupting the power of the world's elite.We cannot understand the entwined ecological and social crises, Kempf argues, if we don't see them as the two sides of the same disaster--a disaster that comes from a system piloted by a dominant social strata that has no drive other than greed, no ideal other than conservatism, no dream other than technology. But Kempf also calls for measured optimism: "Despite the scale of the challenges that await us, solutions are emerging and--faced with the sinister prospects the oligarchs promote--the desire to remake the world is being reborn."

Download or read book The HIV Pandemic written by Peter Piot and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-12-14 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the 25th anniversary of the first recognition of HIV/AIDS in 1981, this book reflects on the international impact of the disease. It has persistently remained a global issue, with more than 50 million people worldwide estimated to have been infected since that date. This ambitious book, written by 165 authors from 30 countries, offers a multi-country comparative study that examines how the response to the common, global threat of HIV is shaped by the history, culture, institutions and health systems of the individual countries affected. Increasingly the shift of health systems has been from prevention only as the main containment strategy, to a strategy that includes scaling up HIV treatment, and care and prevention services, including antiretroviral therapy. Thus, all parts of the health system must be involved; policy makers, healthcare professionals and users of the services have been forced to think differently about how services are financed, how resources are allocated, how systems are structured and organized, how services are delivered to patients, and how the resulting activity is monitored and evaluated in order to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, equity and acceptability of the response. This book is unique in attempting to describe and assess a range of responses across the globe by situating them within the characteristics of each country and its health system. Most chapters combine a health policy expert with an HIV specialist, allowing both a 'top down' health system approach and a 'bottom up' HIV-specific perspective. There are thematic and analytical sections, which provide an overview and some suggestions for solutions to the most serious outstanding issues, and chapters which analyse specific country and organisational responses. There is no perfect health system, but the evidence provided here allows the sharing of knowledge, and a opportunity to assess the impact and reactions, to an epidemic that must be considered a long term issue.

Download or read book New Geographies of Global Policy Making written by Carolina Milhorance and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International institutions and agencies from the Global North are no longer the sole initiators of development norms and best practices. The proliferation of exports and imports of social, economic and policy management models have called for a rethinking of South-South relations. To date, most studies have focused on the drivers and strategies of international initiatives made by emerging powers; none have analysed the impact of these initiatives on the receiving country’s institutions, and on the structures of international organisations. In this book, Carolina Milhorance examines the content, process and consequences of the internationalisation of Brazil’s rural public policy instruments. Brazil earned wide international recognition in the early 2000s for its agricultural modernization and social policies; its increasing influence illustrated the specific political interests of coalitions that are embedded in domestic and international struggles. Drawing on extensive field research -- including more than 280 interviews -- conducted in Brazil, Mozambique, South Africa, Malawi, France and Italy, Milhorance analyses the effects of the internationalisation of Brazilian policy solutions on national and local political systems in recipient countries, highlighting specifically the case of Mozambique. Relying on a new theoretical approach to International Relations -- one based on public policy analysis and international political sociology -- she moves beyond a debate about conventional notions of international power. New Geographies of Global Policy-Making will be interest to scholars and researchers of international relations, public policy analysis, political sociology, comparative politics, and Latin American studies.

Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture Reviews 14 written by Harry Ozier-Lafontaine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world.

This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New evidence this year corroborates the rise in world hunger observed in this report last year, sending a warning that more action is needed if we aspire to end world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. Updated estimates show the number of people who suffer from hunger has been growing over the past three years, returning to prevailing levels from almost a decade ago. Although progress continues to be made in reducing child stunting, over 22 percent of children under five years of age are still affected. Other forms of malnutrition are also growing: adult obesity continues to increase in countries irrespective of their income levels, and many countries are coping with multiple forms of malnutrition at the same time – overweight and obesity, as well as anaemia in women, and child stunting and wasting.
