This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À l’heure actuelle, la production alimentaire mondiale est confrontée à des défis importants, qui menacent la réalisation des Objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Malgré les progrès technologiques, la production alimentaire a du mal à répondre à la hausse de la demande et à l’amélioration des besoins nutritionnels en raison d’une population mondiale croissante, de l’urbanisation grandissante, de l’évolution des régimes alimentaires, d’un plus grand pouvoir d’achat au sein des économies émergentes, et d’une attention accrue portée aux résultats en matière de santé et de nutrition, entre autres facteurs. Parallèlement, la pression croissante sur les ressources naturelles et l’évolution rapide du climat représentent de formidables obstacles à l’expansion de l’approvisionnement alimentaire dans le futur. Outre la nécessité de produire suffisamment de denrées alimentaires plus nutritives pour nourrir le monde et de passer à des modèles commerciaux écologiquement durables, les systèmes alimentaires actuels doivent également devenir plus inclusifs en contribuant à la sécurité des moyens de subsistance et à la stabilité de tous les acteurs. L’inclusion dans les systèmes agricoles et alimentaires d’accords de financement de la chaîne de valeur et des innovations associées ouvrent de grandes perspectives, en particulier dans le contexte de chaînes de valeur liées à l’exportation et pour répondre aux besoins financiers à court terme des divers acteurs. Ces arrangements peuvent également contribuer à relier les acteurs financièrement exclus aux institutions financières du secteur formel.
Download or read book Global Value Chain Development Report 2021 written by Banque asiatique de développement and published by . This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical shift is underway in global value chains as they increasingly move beyond traditional manufacturing processes to services and other intangible assets. Digitization is a leading factor in this transformation, which is being accelerated by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The Global Value Chain Development Report, the third of a biennial series, explores this shift beyond production. The report shows how the rise of services value chains offers a new path to development and how protectionism and geopolitical tensions, environmental risks, and pandemics are undermining the stability of global value chains and forcing their reorganization geographically. It is co-published by the WTO, the Asian Development Bank, the Research Institute for Global Value Chains at the University of International Business and Economics, the Institute of Developing Economies, and the China Development Research Foundation.

Download or read book Innovation for inclusive value chain development written by Devaux, André and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments, nongovernmental organizations, donors, and the private sector have increasingly embraced value-chain development (VCD) for stimulating economic growth and combating rural poverty. Innovation for Inclusive Value-Chain Development: Successes and Challenges helps to fill the current gap in systematic knowledge about how well VCD has performed, related trade-offs or undesired effects, and which combinations of VCD elements are most likely to reduce poverty and deliver on overall development goals. This book uses case studies to examine a range of VCD experiences. Approaching the subject from various angles, it looks at new linkages to markets and the role of farmer organizations and contract farming in raising productivity and access to markets, the minimum assets requirement to participate in VCD, the role of multi-stakeholder platforms in VCD, and how to measure and identify successful VCD interventions. The book also explores the challenges livestock-dependent people face; how urbanization and advancing technologies affect linkages; ways to increase gender inclusion and economic growth; and the different roles various types of platforms play in VCD.
Download or read book State of World Aquaculture 2006 written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.

Download or read book The European Landscape Convention written by Michael Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000 European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the European Landscape Convention have been followed up and implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of participation in selected countries from northern, southern, eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of public participation in practice. However, while the book’s focus is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and management, as well as for professionals and others interested in land-use planning and environmental management.
Download or read book China the Health Sector written by Dean T. Jamison and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This review of China's health sector begins by noting China's achievements in population control, health status, and nutrition. The policies, sources of financing, and resource use that have contributed to China's successes are cited, and the evolution of several influences on health from outside the sector are discussed, including nutritional improvements, greater access to clean water and sanitary waste disposal, and fertility reduction. Two major challenges now face China's health sector: (i) extending the methods that have been successful to areas where mortality rates and deaths due to infectious diseases remain high; and (ii) developing and implementing approaches to management of chronic disease that combine prevention, low-cost treatment, rehabilitation, and humane care. Major innovation will be essential because resources are limited and plans for meeting the health needs of the population are ambitious. Institutions capable of innovation, experimentation, and analysis of public health problems must be developed. The report includes discussion of specific issues in the sector.

Download or read book Mechanization for Rural Development written by Josef Kienzle and published by Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO). This book was released on 2013 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication gives a wide-ranging perspective on the present state of mechanization in the developing world, and, as such, constitutes a solid platform on which to build strategies for a sustainable future. Farm mechanization forms an integral plank in the implementation of sustainable crop production intensification methodologies and sustainable intensification necessarily means that the protection of natural resources and the production of ecosystem services go hand-in-hand with intensified production practices. This requires specific mechanization measures to allow crops to be established with minimum soil disturbance, to allow the soil to be protected under organic cover for as long as possible, and to establish crop rotations and associations to feed the soil and to exploit crop nutrients from various soil horizons. This work is the starting point to help the reader understand the complexities and requirements of the task ahead.

Download or read book Innovation et promotion des cha nes de valeurs de produits agricoles locaux en Afrique written by CTA / FIDA and published by CTA. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’innovation est au coeur de ce volume, du point de vue des techniques de production, des plates-formes d’innovation et de l’accès au financement. L’innovation agricole, qui peut se définir comme l’ensemble des processus liés au développement de produits, de services ou de procédés agricoles, nouveaux ou améliorés, du maillon de la production à celle de la consommation, est un facteur déterminant de la modernisation et de la performance du secteur. Il s’agit d’un des domaines stratégiques dans lesquels il est crucial de davantage investir en Afrique. Certains articles traitent des actions réalisées par des plates-formes ’innovation, à l’image de celles mises en place au Bénin dans la filière riz, ou au Burkina Faso dans la filière niébé. L’importance de ces plates-formes n’est plus à démontrer. Il est important de mieux faire connaître leurs actions, de faciliter leur durabilité, de les connecter davantage aux systèmes nationaux d’innovation agricole (lorsqu’elles sont mises en place par des acteurs non gouvernementaux), de renforcer la prise en compte des savoirs locaux, l’implication du secteur privé, des chercheurs ainsi que celle des jeunes.
