Book excerpt: This report begins with a review of the principal macroeconomic features affecting Ecuador's agricultural sector and of the institutional system for the generation and dissemination of agricultural technology. It presents an historical summary of the development of Ecuador's national agricultural research system, the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias (INIAP), which was created in 1959 and carried out more than 14,000 trials and delivered 98 varieties of various crops to farmers. The core of this report begins with a description of the existing constraints on better interaction between the national research system and the international centers. The report goes on to describe the major types of interactions that have taken place in Ecuador, which include the exchange of genetic material; the exchange of information; personnel training; advisory assistance by scientific personnel; and equipment and financing. A product-by-product analysis of the relationships between the national program and the corresponding international centers focuses on potatoes, wheat, rice, maize, beans and other legumes, pastures and livestock, sorghum and other oil crops and cassava.
Download or read book Economics of Deforestation written by Sven Wunder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-07-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tropical forests are disappearing at an unaltered pace, giving way to alternative land uses. This book gives an economic perspective on deforestation. Following a survey of different deforestation definitions, theories and empirical evidence, a case-study of Ecuador provides a versatile historical picture of factors affecting forest loss throughout different periods, regions and ecosystems. It is shown that policy and market failures alone cannot explain rapid deforestation; decision-makers follow a composite economic rationale in their continuous clearing of forests which can only be counteracted by concerted action.

Download or read book Plant Quarantine and the International Transfer of Germplasm written by Donald L. Plucknett and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the history of quarantine services, discusses principles for successful quarantine operations and identifies major constraints to the exchange of plant materials due to quarantine restrictions and procedures. It also explores some of the difficulties faced by quarantine services, plant breeders, and genebank curators in attempting to detect diseases or pests and clean up seeds and vegetative materials. The paper examines disease and pest screening techniques, with an emphasis on emerging biotechnologies that are revolutionizing diagnostic and clean up work for plant germplasm. It underscores the importance of intermediate quarantine, particularly for tropical cash crops. Finally, the paper analyzes ways to strengthen quarantine services worldwide so that crop improvement programs can operate more efficiently and effectively.
