Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Historically, the economic contribution of rural areas to regions was clear: it was the provider of farm produce and other raw materials such as coal. Rural employment was evidently based on the exploitation of natural capital. Today, natural capital still strongly characterises the profile of rural employment in the European Union but its effect now goes far beyond the traditional rural sector of agriculture. There are in fact four drivers of rural employment and rural economic prosperity, and these can be structured by two complementary analytical directions, namely production based on (a) renewable and (b) non-renewable resources, and consumption by (a) non-residents and (b) residents of a territory, hence Rural Europe 2+2+ . Thus, whether jobs are created through farming, mining, rural tourism or by attracting incomers who set up new businesses, natural capital is a common theme. However, the financial, human, physical and social capitals of rural areas must be improved in parallel with this via an integrated, territorial development approach. In this way, rural areas can become part of a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy in line with the priorities of Europe 2020. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In regions where substantial overproduction' of food crops has occurred, farmers have sought to diversify into non-food production and many plant species have been suggested as possible new crops. An example is evening primrose (Oenothera spp.), which has become established as a high value oilseed crop for temperate regions. The seed is an important source of gamma-linolenic acid, a relatively rare fatty acid with value as a pharmaceutical and nutritional supplement. This volume begins with a general review of the principles of crop physiology, including sections on crop canopy structure and light interception, crop photosynthesis and radiation conversion, crop productivity and biomass partitioning, and factors affecting seed lipid content. It then presents the results of field and controlled environment research on the productivity, canopy development and resource use of evening primrose. Amongst other findings, these results show why, despite a long growing season, evening primrose seed yields are much lower than the yields of major arable seed crops, and why commercial spring-sown evening primrose crops can yield as much as overwintered ones. 108 pp. Englisch.
