This book was released on 2018-06-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este librito, el lector que parta de cero en conocimiento agrícola encontrará no un texto sobre una ciencia y una práctica tan complejas, las más complejas al par de la Medicina, sino los conceptos básicos en los que se fundamenta tal ciencia y tal práctica: seres vivos, tierra, agua, aire… qué son variedades y razas y cómo hay que manejarlas, ¿tienen valor estratégico el agua dulce y la tierra laborable…?, ¿qué problemas del pasado vuelven a ser los del futuro…? Cuando lo termine, el lector podrá hablar con conocimiento de causa no sólo en la barra de un bar sino en los salones más selectos. Sandías y melones se cogen en árboles; los tomates no tienen genes; las plantas y animales que nos alimentan y visten han estado siempre ahí a nuestra disposición… Sesudos personajes afirman que parte de sus genes son de sus padres y parte “de ellos”… Esas y otras muchas cosas se oyen no sólo en la barra de un bar sino en los ambientes más selectos. Por otro lado, la palabra “agricultura” la esconden los políticos, y hasta la hacen desaparecer como hace poco en nuestro país, al darle nombre a los ministerios que justamente van a tratar de la agricultura. ¿Por qué esa ignorancia, por qué ese despego cuando la Agricultura es la que nos da de comer, de beber y de vestir…?

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Historical Ecology and Applied Archaeology written by Christian Isendahl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Historical Ecology and Applied Archaeology presents theoretical discussions, methodological outlines, and case-studies describing the field of overlap between historical ecology and the emerging sub-discipline of applied archaeology to highlight how modern environments and landscapes have been shaped by humans. Historical ecology is based on the recognition that humans are not only capable of modifying their environments, but that all environments on earth have already been directly or indirectly modified. This includes anthropogenic climate change, widespread deforestations, and species extinctions, but also very local alterations, the effects of which may last a few years, or may have legacies lasting centuries or more. With contributions from anthropologists, archaeologists, human geographers, and historians, this volume focuses not just on defining human impacts in the past, but on the ways that understanding these changes can help inform contemporary practices and development policies. Some chapters present examples of how ancient or current societies have modified their environments in sustainable ways, while others highlight practices that had unintended long-term consequences. The possibilities of learning from these practices are discussed, as is the potential of using the long history of human resource exploitation as a method for building or testing models of future change. The volume offers overviews for students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in conservation or development projects who want to understand what practical insights can be drawn from history, and who seek to apply their work to contemporary issues.

Download or read book Urban Allotment Gardens in Europe written by Simon Bell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although urban allotment gardening dates back to the nineteenth century, it has recently undergone a renaissance of interest and popularity. This is the result of greater concern over urban greenspace, food security and quality of life. This book presents a comprehensive, research-based overview of the various features, benefits and values associated with urban allotment gardening in Europe. The book is based on a European COST Action project, which brings together researchers and practitioners from all over Europe for the first detailed exploration of the subject on a continent-wide scale. It assesses the policy, planning and design aspects, as well as the social and ecological benefits of urban allotment gardening. Through an examination of the wide range of different traditions and practices across Europe, it brings together the most recent research to discuss the latest evolutions of urban allotment gardening and to help raise awareness and fill knowledge gaps. The book provides a multidisciplinary perspective, including insights from horticulture and soil science, ecology, sociology, urban geography, landscape, planning and design. The themes are underpinned by case studies from a number of European countries which supply a wide range of examples to illustrate different key issues.

Download or read book Agricultural Development in Brazil written by Antonio M. Buainain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, Brazilian agriculture has experienced a seismic transformation, and its contradictory facets have fed different and opposing narratives regarding recent changes. This book covers these changes, exploring the issues from several empirical and analytical angles, including the role of agriculture in the contemporary Brazilian economy, the dynamics of Brazilian agricultural value chains, environmental challenges and the processes of social differentiation. Brazilian agriculture continues to be viewed in the international literature, either through the lenses of the past century – those of former problems relating to land use and land tenure – or apologetically. This collection of essays aims at updating the current interpretations, providing objective accounting of the main transformations, its determinants, results, contradictions and limitations. As it covers the most relevant traits of Brazilian agricultural and rural development, the book will provide the reader with an encompassing view of contemporary Brazilian agriculture, including the positive and negative sides of the so-called tropical agriculture revolution. It highlights the tremendous economic potential as well as the continuing structural heterogeneity, concentration of production and marginalization of millions of small farmers. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book will be perfect for all those interested in learning about Brazilian agriculture. It will be of particular interest to undergraduate and graduate students of economic development, agricultural economics, rural sociology, comparative economic development, rural development and agricultural policies.
