Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Southeast Asia: Innovations and Policies for Mountainous Areas
Author: Holger L. FröhlichPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364233377X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
This book is based on the findings of a long-term (2000-2014) interdisciplinary research project of the University of Hohenheim in collaboration with several universities in Thailand and Vietnam. Titled Sustainable Land Use and Rural Development in Mountainous Areas in Southeast Asia, or the Uplands Program, the project aims to contribute through agricultural research to the conservation of natural resources and the improvement of living conditions of the rural population in the mountainous regions of Southeast Asia. Having three objectives the book first aims to give an interdisciplinary account of the drivers, consequences and challenges of ongoing changes in mountainous areas of Southeast Asia. Second, the book describes how innovation processes can contribute to addressing these challenges and third, how knowledge creation to support change in policies and institutions can assist in sustainably develop mountain areas and people’s livelihoods.

In most developing countries, the rural labor force is growing rapidly, but rural employment opportunities are dwindling. This paper brings together empirical evidence on the nonfarm sector and analyzes policies for its future development. It examines the linkages between the farm and nonfarm sectors and between the nonfarm sector and urban enterprises, and considers ways the government can promote rural employment.
A Perspective on U. S. Farm Problems and Agricultural Policy

Book Description
Today's American farmers struggle constantly with a financial crisis. News reports chronicle the dreary events-- foreclosures, protests, governmental debates, distress sales. There is great pressure on the U.S. government to ease the current farm financial situation, but there is opposing pressure to wean the farm sector from government support, to move agriculture toward a market-oriented economy, and above all, to reduce government outlays. Because the financial crisis permeates the agricultural community, critical choices must be made regarding the role of government in the farm sector, and alternate policies must be conceived. A Perspective on U.S. Farm Problems and Agricultural Policy provides a framework for evaluating national policy alternatives and attempts to improve our understanding of the nature of the farm sector and its problems. The discussion covers important issues such as farm size, the process of dynamic adjustment to changing technology, and financial disruptions associated with periodic land booms and busts. The issues are presented in historical perspective and in relation to past agricultural policies. The authors move to more specific examination of the current financial crisis by looking at various sizes and types of midwest farms. They establish different categories of financial stress in the context of both historical data for the national farm sector and more recent data on individual farms, drawing conclusions about the primary determinants of financial stress and the manner in which individuals are adjusting to it.

Book Description
Trade liberalisation affects the pattern and structure of agricultural production, with consequences for the environment. But what are these impacts? And do agri-environmental policies affect international competitiveness? This study takes an in-depth look at the pig sector in OECD countries and draws some conclusions about the most appropriate forms of policy intervention. Further trade liberalisation is likely to strengthen market trends in the pig sector. Production is expected to slow, if not contract, in OECD European and Asian countries. In these countries, government support for pig production in the form of tariffs and/or export subsidies is generally the highest, and the environmental impacts of pig production on water and air pollution are of greatest concern. This book argues that liberalising trade is therefore likely to generate some environmental benefits. Regulatory requirements are the most important type of agri-environmental measures affecting pig production, and these mainly focus on the appropriate management of manure to reduce water pollution. Using comparative analysis, this study concludes that while manure management regulations do differ among countries, the cost effect on pig producers is not significant in explaining differences in international competitiveness.€ This is the first in a series of in-depth studies being undertaken by the OECD to investigate the linkages between agriculture, trade and the environment. Other studies examining the dairy and arable crop sectors are underway.
