Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern African Development Community (SADC) and its Member States are making renewed efforts to revive agriculture in the region. Given that much of it is water-stressed, appropriate and sustainable land and water management practices are vital to achieving this objective. Recognising this, SADC's Land and Water Management Applied Research and Training Programme has convened two scientific symposiums. Held in Lilongwe, Malawi, in February 2006, the inaugural symposium brought together practitioners from 10 participating SADC countries to deliberate on land and water management for sustainable agriculture, and discuss how the most recent research and development advances in land and water management might be made more relevant to policymakers as well as the region's small-scale farmers. The edited contributions to this first symposium appear in this volume. The second symposium was held in Gaborone, Botswana, in February 2007, and brought together regional experts to discuss opportunities for improving water use and water use efficiency in agriculture in semi-arid and arid areas. The edited contributions to the second symposium appear in a companion volume entitled Land and Water Management in Southern Africa: Towards Better Water Use in Agriculture in Semi-Arid and Arid Areas (AISA 2008). It is hoped that these two volumes will help to disseminate regional expertise on land and water management to a wider audience, thus helping policy-makers and others to strengthen the agricultural sector in the region, and, in so doing, improve its food security and the wellbeing of its people.

Download or read book Shock Waves written by Stephane Hallegatte and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.

Download or read book Context Policy and Practices in Indigenous and Cultural Entrepreneurship written by April, Wilfred Isak and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are ongoing debates on the concepts surrounding the roles of Indigenous people in transforming the entrepreneurial landscape to promote socio-economic development. Arguably, the culture and ways of our lives, in the context of entrepreneurship, have a role in influencing social economic development. The ideals between the entrepreneurial practice of Indigenous people and their culture are somewhat commensal towards sustainable growth and development. The practice of Indigenous and cultural entrepreneurship is embedded in historical findings. Context, Policy, and Practices in Indigenous and Cultural Entrepreneurship provides insights into the policy, culture, and practice that influence the impact of local and Indigenous entrepreneurs within communities which transcends to socio-economic development. This is critical as the knowledge gained from our entrepreneurial diversity can provide a platform to reduce social ills as a result of unemployment and give a sense of belonging within the social context. Covering key topics such as government policy, entrepreneurial education, information technology, and trade, this premier reference source is ideal for policymakers, entrepreneurs, business owners, managers, scholars, researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
