Book Description
Excerpt from Elements of Philippine Agriculture The general principles and a large part of the facts to be taught in most subjects in the elementary schools are the same in every land. Some subjects might be taught in the Philippine Islands from American texts, except as they gain in presentation by the use of local examples and illustrations. With agriculture the case is very different. The subjects to he studied are almost all different from those in the United States; the climate is different, the economic conditions are different. A useful text-book must be adapted to all of these differences. Our text-books are the products of evolution, those in use to-day having the good features hut, as far as can he helped, not the weaknesses of their predecessors. The teaching of agriculture in any large number of schools is so recent that this selection has not yet gone far. Even in temperate countries, there has not yet been time for general experience to decide what material, from the almost unlimited amount available, should he chosen for school use; the methods of presenting it are as diverse as the limited number of hooks permits, and a logical relation of the material seems as yet to have been less considered by most authors than the exercise of the eves and hands and the teaching of mere facts. In a subject in which texts are still so undeveloped, and in the first attempt in a tropical field, it is inevitable that this hook will he far from what many will think it should he. Under the circumstances, I trust that their criticisms will he constructive, and that they will he sent to the author. There is nothing unreasonable in good agriculture, and the fact that a text on the subject must he practical does not involve its being disconnected or illogical.

Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment in the Humid Tropics
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309047498
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
Rainforests are rapidly being cleared in the humid tropics to keep pace with food demands, economic needs, and population growth. Without proper management, these forests and other natural resources will be seriously depleted within the next 50 years. Sustainable Agriculture and the Environment in the Humid Tropics provides critically needed direction for developing strategies that both mitigate land degradation, deforestation, and biological resource losses and help the economic status of tropical countries through promotion of sustainable agricultural practices. The book includes: A practical discussion of 12 major land use options for boosting food production and enhancing local economies while protecting the natural resource base. Recommendations for developing technologies needed for sustainable agriculture. A strategy for changing policies that discourage conserving and managing natural resources and biodiversity. Detailed reports on agriculture and deforestation in seven tropical countries.

The Philippine Agricultural Review
Author: The Future of Philippine Agriculture under a Changing Climate

ISBN: 9814818356

Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
The Philippine economy has grown rapidly since 2010, but despite this growth, poverty and inequality remain high. Two-thirds of the poor live in rural areas, and the weak performance of the agriculture sector has contributed to the slow improvement in livelihoods. The challenge for agriculture will further increase, with climate change posing a growing threat to the sector. But agricultural transformation to spur sustained growth and reduce poverty is still possible under climate change with aggressive institutional reforms and implementation of the right mix of policies and programmes. The identification of the suitable policy and programme combination requires an accurate assessment of the key drivers of agricultural growth and food security; the impacts of climate change on agriculture and the overall economy; and the effectiveness of policies for adaptation and growth. This book addresses these big issues, focusing on enhancing the adaptation capacity of the Philippine agriculture sector. It is designed to provide a much-needed base of knowledge and menu of policy options to support decision- and policymaking on agriculture, climate change, and food security. The volume uses newly generated data, modelling outputs, and innovative analyses to provide a scientific basis for a variety of adaptation measures under different sets of climate change scenarios to guide decision-makers in strategic planning and policy formulation. “As we have actually experienced in Leyte, an island province in the Visayas where Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) struck, disasters caused by natural hazards could completely negate economic gains, devastate families and shatter dreams. Our greatest challenge is to make ourselves better prepared for and be more resilient to such disasters. Natural hazards need not always lead to loss of so many lives and properties. This book shows us ways and provides tools to draw up climate change and socioeconomic scenarios at the regional and provincial levels, allowing us to identify strategies for mitigating climate change risks.” — Ernesto M. Pernia, Secretary of Socioeconomic Planning, National Economic and Development Authority, Philippines “This book by top Philippine researchers combines state-of-the-art biophysical and economic modeling of climate impacts and adaptation policies with in-depth synthesis of agriculture, natural resources, climate trends, and policies. It provides a comprehensive assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture and the broader economy to provide important insights for Philippine policymakers.” — Dr Cynthia Rosenzweig, Head, Climate Impacts Group, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Co-Founder of the Agricultural Model Inter-comparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP)
