Book excerpt: The report reviews the macroeconomic perspectives of Uruguay, focused on its rural development and natural resources intensive sectors, to form the basis for expanding agricultural production, and increasing productivity. It reviews the country's sectoral composition, exports of natural resource intensive products, and labor and capital use, as well as the tax burden. Although agriculture represents less than ten percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of Uruguay, the combination of agriculture, and agro-industry makes up twenty three percent of GDP, of which half of the output is exported, which represented in 2000, seventy three percent of the country's total export earnings, with the composition of exports, significantly diversified. Nonetheless, the agricultural sector remains vulnerable to both external shocks, and domestic factors, and, while the government's ability to ameliorate the impacts of these shocks is limited, the likely increasing importance of international trade calls for a long-term approach to agricultural, and agro-industrial development. Regarding the socioeconomic dimensions of the rural economy, its income distribution is the least-skewed in the region, but, regardless of the relatively small number of rural poor - highly dependent on wage labor - given the high levels of literacy, future efforts should be oriented towards improving secondary, and technical education. Although the agricultural sector has demonstrated a capacity to innovate by adopting technology, and diversifying both production, and markets, production expansion, and productivity increase must be compatible with the protection, and conservation of its natural resource base, with a supportive public framework in promoting rural areas, encouraged by the private sector.

Download or read book Land Management Style and Soil Erosion in the Western Area of Uruguay Local Farmers Vs Foreign Investors written by L. Caon and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments, companies and individuals with financial capital to invest, are worldwide buying or renting land in developing or third world countries. The introduction of transgenic crops in agriculture, the intensification of the production and the large amount of soybean demanded by the international market, are increasing the pressure on the resource soil. To take the right land management decision is fundamental to avoid soil erosion and to preserve soil productive capacity. Uruguay is a developing country whose economy is mainly based on agriculture. Since 2000 many foreigners started to invest in the agricultural sector and to practice intensive large scale agriculture in Uruguay. Nowadays the main crop planted by both foreigners and locals is transgenic soya. It is commonly said that foreigners investing in poor countries are exploiting the local natural resources aiming to get the highest possible profit from them. Is this a valid assumption in Uruguay? The purpose of this study is to compare the land management style of foreign and local farmers and to relate it to the soil erosion occurring in the study area. The land tenure (rented or owned fields) and the type of farmer interviewed (individual farmer or anonymous society) are taken into consideration during the analysis. Actual and future soil erosion rates are simulated and conclusions on the relation between the nationality of the farmer and the loss of soil are provided.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greenhouse gas emissions by the livestock sector could be cut by as much as 30 percent through the wider use of existing best practices and technologies. FAO conducted a detailed analysis of GHG emissions at multiple stages of various livestock supply chains, including the production and transport of animal feed, on-farm energy use, emissions from animal digestion and manure decay, as well as the post-slaughter transport, refrigeration and packaging of animal products. This report represents the most comprehensive estimate made to-date of livestocks contribution to global warming as well as the sectors potential to help tackle the problem. This publication is aimed at professionals in food and agriculture as well as policy makers.
