Book Description
The Agricultural Sector's Development In spite of the country's semi-arid character, the Namibian agricultural sector, over centuries, sustained the rather small, but stable population of about 245,000 inhabitants before the arrival of the first colonialists in the form of missionaries and foreign hunters. [...] The establishment of the EMU may be seen as a belated reaction to the drought of the 1930s, when about 25 per cent of all subsistence farmers in the north of Namibia starved to death. [...] Government Action Plans The Government of Namibia has implemented and continues to implement a set of measures to counteract the effects of climate change and rising food prices on the national food security situation of the country. [...] The most important issue is the designation of Namibia as an NFIDC, since this will provide the country with more policy space in the implementation of the longer term measures to increase national food production within the limits of the climatic and soil conditions prevailing in Namibia. [...] The Government of Namibia has implemented and continues to implement a set of measures to counteract the effects of rising food prices, droughts and floods on the national food security situation of Namibia, such as establishing the EMU.

Book Description
Structural change is a process in which the amount of labour, capital and land dedicated to agriculture (and other sectors) changes over time. In this study, we focus on the cases of Peru and Nicaragua using their two most recently administered agricultural censuses. The agricultural censuses permit us to identify dimensions and information available to study the process of structural change in Latin America over the last 20 years. The study includes a comparative analysis and policy recommendations based on the two most recent agricultural censuses administered in Nicaragua (2001 and 2011) and Peru (1994 and 2012). Processing and analysing information from these censuses contribute to identifying dimensions and information available to study the process of structural change in Latin America over the last 20 years. Evidence-based policymaking is increasingly more at the core of the United Nations and member countries’ activity. In the case of FAO, this type of study is crucial to build the knowledge body on which projects and activities are carried forward. The Hand-in-Hand (HiH) initiative is a key example in this context, as it aims at quantitatively identifying high-impact and high-agricultural potential areas in which to invest within developing countries. As Nicaragua and Peru are HiH’s target countries, this study will show very useful to learn about their recent experiences in agricultural transformations.

Book Description
Since the agricultural sector is a crucial factor in the development of the Peruvian economy, the country has recently established five national priority programs in coordination with several international agricultural research centers (IARCs) to enhance crop production and farm output. These five programs concentrate on crops such as potatoes, maize, rice, grain and grain legumes. The report also discusses each of the five products in relation to international cooperation, indicators of crop production, improved varieties and improved cultivation techniques, commercial varieties and price policies. In addition to discussing the crop programs, the report relates highlights of the Peruvian farm sector, examines the National Agricultural Research System (NARS), and impact of the IARCs on NARS and farm production itself.

Book Description
Forest tenure reforms are occurring in many developing countries around the world. These reforms typically include devolution of forest lands to local people and communities, which has attracted a great deal of attention and interest. While the nature and level of devolution vary by country, all have potentially important implications for resource allocation, local ecosystem services, livelihoods and climate change. This book helps students, researchers and professionals to understand the importance and implications of these reforms for local environmental quality, climate change, and the livelihoods of villagers, who are often poor. It is shown that local forest management can often be more successful than top-down management of common pool forest resources. The relationship of local forest tenure reform to the important climate change initiative REDD+ is also considered. The work includes a number of generic chapters and also detailed case studies from China, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda. Using specific examples and a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives, including quantitative and qualitative analytical methods, the book provides an authoritative and critical picture of local forest reforms in light of the key challenges humanity faces today.
