Mexican Agricultural Biotechnology $111.53 Brazil, India and China are the leading agricultural biotechnology innovators on the developing country arena. Indeed, 2010 was the first year that agricultural biotechnology products created by developing countries reached the market. This was only possible after years of investment on their local RD programmes and the promotion of public policies that supported agricultural biotechnology. Can Mexico be among this group of innovators? This book examines the institutional drivers currently being used in Mexican agricultural biotechnology policy. Firstly, this book analyses the Mexican science and technology policy and agricultural research policy, and then it explores the Mexican regulatory framework for agricultural biotechnology, which includes its intellectual property and biosafety regime. Thus, some of the questions posed in this book are: Which are the legal, political and social obstacles that could be hindering growth or support on RD in agricultural biotechnologies? How does the current policy impact the performance of the agricultural biotechnology research? Is maize an opportunity for Mexico? The answers will surprise our readers.

Impact of Agricultural Cooperatives $113.11 Agricultural cooperatives in Ethiopia are charged with the purpose of becoming market outlet for smallholder farmers. Though cooperatives are constrained by different problems, the development strategy of the country advocates the expansion of the cooperatives in rural Ethiopia for better agricultural market participation and commercialization of the smallholder agriculture. Before two and three decades, the impact of these cooperatives on the betterment of the vast majority of smallholders was trivial. Specifically, the services of these cooperatives had little impact on earning, bargaining power and commercialization of smallholders agriculture. Therefore, in view of the current role of agricultural cooperatives in Ethiopia and the commercialization of smallholder agenda, this book shows the major economic impact of agricultural cooperatives on price, income and commercialization of smallholder agriculture.

Models Contributing to Agricultural Policy Analysis $113.11 Quantitative models are necessary tools to represent the extremely complex interrelationships between agricultural activities and their environmental and socioeconomic consequences. It is a wellestablished fact that reactions to policy intervention on bionatural and socioeconomic structures are rarely satisfactorily explainable or predictable on the basis of simple intellectual constructions. This contribution provides a review and assessment of different types of applied modeling allowing for informed discussion. A global framework is drawn up for market structures and policy measures in developed and developing countries. Salient policy issues on agricultural trade and emerging challenges including environmental sustainability and poverty alleviation are discussed as an introduction to the core survey of the quantitative tools currently used in tackling these issues.

Poverty Oriented Agricultural and Rural Development $251.72 Over the last twenty years the proportion of development cooperation resources earmarked for agricultural development has dwindled to between six and seven per cent of total bi and multilateral Official Development Assistance. This is despite the fact that eighty per cent of the worlds poor live in rural agricultural areas and that the poor are disproportionately affected when political, military and natural events lead to regional or global food shortages. Brandt and Otzens key book fills a gap in current literature, undertaking a wideranging conceptual reorientation of development cooperation, criticizing the current orthodoxy and its bias towards urban areas, and arguing that in order to effectively alleviate poverty across the world, agricultural and rural development measures need to be implemented both by central and subnational governments, aid agencies and the private sector. The authors investigate the world food question, the current pressures it is under and its link to rural poverty, and set out the policies that need to be undertaken to reduce global poverty.

The Economic Theory of Agricultural Land Tenure $197.55 Originally published in 1981, Dr Curries main emphasis in this book is on the economic theory of agricultural land tenure, but he also makes extensive reference to the historical development of land tenure in England. After consideration of the history of economic thought on this important topic, he employs an essentially neoclassical approach, though one that pays due attention to the nature of institutional arrangements and particular forms of property rights. In dealing with these latter aspects, he considers not only the economic effects of particular institutional forms but also their economic causes. The careful use of the history of land tenure development gives this work especial relevance for agricultural development and for issues of land reform. The Physiocrats and Classical economists gave land tenure an important place in their work. Following a long period of neglect by NeoClassical economists, land tenure arrangements again received considerable theoretical attention in the years preceding publication. Dr Currie draws on and develops this work. Moreover, he investigates the importance of a number of crucial issues that were being neglected at the time. Author: Currie, J. M.

Agricultural Residue Management in Developing Countries $111.53 As a result of economic growth, development and increased consumption, waste generation has globally increased over the last decades. Although waste management has traditionally relied on disposal, the trend is currently shifting towards resource recovery. Consequently, new approaches for waste recovery such as agricultural residue management have become a main interest among researchers. This book offers a first attempt to examine the feasibility of agricultural residue management in developing countries as an approach to minimize waste disposal and optimize resources use. Lebanon is taken as a case study in which residue generation is estimated and current management practices described. Various commonly used methods such as composting, combustion, gasification, fermentation, ethanol conversion and animal feed are assessed and compared using MCDA and a management plan is proposed within the Lebanese institutional, legislative and operational framework related to waste management. This book can be of particular interest to professionals as well as decision makers willing to explore unconventional methods for waste management and resource recovery.
