Download or read book Feeding a Hungry Planet written by James Lang and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rice is the food crop the world depends on most. In Feeding a Hungry Planet, James Lang demonstrates how research has benefited rice growers and increased production. He describes the life cycle of a rice crop and explains how research is conducted and how the results end up growing in a farmer's field. Focusing on Asia and Latin America, Lang explores lowland and upland rice systems, genetics, sustainable agriculture, and efforts to narrow the gap between yields at research stations and those on working farms. Ultimately, says Lang, the ability to feed growing populations and protect fragile ecologies depends as much on the sustainable on-site farm technologies as on high-yielding crop varieties. Lang views agriculture as a chain of events linking the farmer's field with the scientist's laboratory, and he argues that rice cultivation is shaped by different social systems, cultures, and environments. Describing research conducted by the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in Colombia, he shows how national programs tailor research to their own production problems. According to Lang, the interaction of research programs, practical problem solving, and local extension efforts suggests a new model for international development.

Book excerpt: Scientists working on upland rice and rice diseases representing national rice research programs from 11 countries and 5 international agricultural research organizations participating in the Travelling Blast/Upland Rice Workshop in Brazil, March 9-14, 1981. The workshop was jointly sponsored by EMBRAPA, IRRI, and CIAT. Brief review papers summarized the various classifification systems in use to describe the upland rice environment and the current status and thrust of upland rice improvement programs of the national and international organizations on 3 continents (Latin America, Africa, and Asia). Presentations were also made outlining the merits of various blast control strategies through breeding (horizontal/polygenic and vertical/monogenic resistance) and chemical control. Management practices needed to increase production were also outlined. Discussions at the workshop and while visiting experimental and farmers' fields resulted in the following specific recommendations for priority research activities to estimulate upland rice production increases around the world.
