Описание: Innovation in agriculture has been critical to developing East Asia's economic transformation. The focus on productivity has come at a cost to environmental sustainability, however. This report examines the potential that a new generation of agricultural innovation holds for addressing these challenges and outlines an agenda for public action.

Описание: First published in 1997, this volume reflects concern about the environmental impact of modern agricultural practices, agriculture`s increasing reliance on non-renewable resources, and provides a review on the determinants of adoption and diffusion of sustainable agricultural technologies, including concepts and theories related to this theme.
Описание: This paper examines evidence regarding climate variability and extremes in agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security.
The case studies presented provide an integrated picture of how increasing climate variability and extremes are negatively affecting agriculture, resulting in destructive secondary impacts on livelihoods, income, food prices and coping capacities. These in turn lead to increased food insecurity.
According to the study, the challenge is to scale up and accelerate actions that strengthen the resilience of food systems and livelihoods to climate variability and extremes. Integrated, rather than dissociated, disaster risk reduction and management, as well as climate adaptation policies, programmes and practices are critical.
Описание: Discusses policies and mechanisms that promote sustainable outcomes - economic, social and environmental - in agricultural and food markets, both global and domestic. The analysis is organised along the trends and challenges that lie at the heart of global discussions on trade and development.

Описание: Eurasian Crossroads is the first comprehensive history of Xinjiang, the vast central Eurasian region bordering India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia. Forming one-sixth of the People`s Republic of China (PRC), Xinjiang stands at the crossroads between China, India, the Mediterranean, and Russia and has, since the Bronze Age, played a pivotal role in the social, cultural, and political development of Asia and the world. Xinjiang was once the hub of the Silk Road and the conduit through which Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam entered China. It was also the site where Chinese, Turkic, Tibetan, and Mongolian empires communicated and struggled with one another. Xinjiang`s population comprises Kazakhs, Kirghiz, and Uighurs, all Turkic Muslim peoples, as well as Han Chinese, and competing Chinese and Turkic nationalist visions continue to threaten the region`s political and economic stability. Drawing on primary sources in several Asian and European languages, James Millward studies Xinjiang`s history and people from antiquity to the present and takes a balanced look at the position of Turkic Muslims within the PRC today.
