Описание: This publication, companion to the “Main results and metadata by country” study published in 2019, presents a methodological review of national agricultural censuses and provides comparable global data on key variables characterizing the structure of agriculture. It offers a distinctive outlook on country census practices across the world and a cross-country comparison of the structural characteristics of national agricultural sectors.
FAO, as the leading United Nations agency for censuses of agriculture since 1945, regularly provides guidelines for the conduct of agricultural censuses worldwide. The guidelines are published under the umbrella of the World Programme for the Census of Agriculture (WCA). Besides disseminating the guidelines to all member countries, FAO provides capacity-building to countries in the use of best practices in census-taking, as well as standard concepts, definitions and classifications in order to ensure internationally comparable data on the structure of agriculture.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters.
As we realize the ways in which our food systems contribute and respond to climate change, sustainable agriculture becomes increasingly crucial. It is a complicated, multi-dimensional issue, which should be considered from a variety of angles. This compendium includes the perspectives of science, economics, sociology, and policy. The editor and contributors present an international and comprehensive perspective that examines the concept of sustainability as it applies to the food supply chain from farm to fork.
Food and the global agricultural system has become one of the defining public concerns of the twenty-first century. Ecological disorder and inequity is at the heart of our food system. This thoughtful and confronting book tells the story of how the development of modern agriculture promised ecological and social stability but instead descended into dysfunction. Contributing to knowledge in environmental, cultural and agricultural histories, it explores how people have tried to live in the aftermath of 'ecological imperialism'.
The Broken Promise of Agricultural Progress: An environmental history journeys to the dry inland plains of Australia where European ideas and agricultural technologies clashed with a volatile and taunting country that resisted attempts to subdue and transform it for the supply of global markets. Its wide-ranging narrative puts gritty local detail in its global context to tell the story of how cultural anxieties about civilisation, population, and race, shaped agriculture in the twentieth century. It ranges from isolated experiment farms to nutrition science at the League of Nations, from local landholders to high profile moral crusaders, including an Australian apricot grower who met Franklin D. Roosevelt and almost fed the world.
This book will be useful to undergraduates and postgraduates on courses examining international comparisons of nineteenth and twentieth century agriculture, and courses studying colonial development and settler societies. It will also appeal to food concerned general readers.

Описание: One of the main reasons why nonlinear dynamic models are so interesting to economists is that they are able to produce a great variety of possible dynamic outcomes - from regular predictable behavior to the most complex irregular behavior - rich enough to meet the economists` objectives of modeling.

Описание: This volume presents a bio-economic modeling approach designed to deal with natural resource issues from an economic perspective. The method itself is the result of two prominent developments: improved bio-physical simulation models applied to agricultural systems, and the evolution of agricultural assessment.
