Synopsis
Tropentag is an annual international conference on food security, natural resource management and rural development. Tropentag 2017 is organised by the University of Bonn, Germany, jointly with the Council for Tropical and Subtropical Research (ATSAF e.V) in cooperation with the GIZ Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development (BEAF). This year’s Conference theme is “Future social-ecological transitions and bio-cultural shifts”. Future agriculture is by definition an emerging phenomenon. It is continuously in the making, while present visions of the future turn into history. Vast stretches of land in developing countries are being put to new uses, with new forms of governance, new ownership patterns and new forms of production. Particularly agricultural systems are undergoing drastic changes, unfolding an enormous transformative power and affecting millions of people. System-immanent attributes such as visions, aspirations, cultural specifics and production factor availability shape the response of land users to growing external pressures such as climate change, market demands, land degradation, emerging diseases and policies. In addition to such social-ecological transitions, substantial bio-cultural shifts occur and are imposed by centrally-planned establishments of large-scale intensification (or conservation) corridors and protection zones, or are associated with infrastructure development and urbanisation processes. A wide array of resulting response pathways and land use or production strategies emerge that may be beneficial for rural and urban populations, but can also lead to abandonment of land, migration and conflicts.

Print on DemandSeller: BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -About a billion people in the world are chronically hungry. They live at the margin of our society, without enough food to live normal productive lives. A high proportion is of women and children. More than 130 million of children under five years of age are underweight, that is they are well below the standard weight for their age. This represents nearly a quarter of the under fives in the developing countries. The numbers increase each time there is a food price spike and we face the daunting prospect of feeding a growing population over the next 40 years, in the face of deteriorating land and water resources and the damaging effects of climate change. We have the science and technology that can help us produce more food, but we need much more than this. There are no magic bullets. People on the margin have limited access to resources, to technologies, to markets and to sources of income. We need a new Doubly Green Revolution that is not only productive, but stable, resilient and equitable. Everyone must benefit. If we do not act more and more people will become hungry. 638 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9783869558790
