Book Description
Muchos de los programas de protección social, incluyendo los de transferencias monetarias, de obras públicas y de transferencias de activos, se dirigen a las mujeres como principales beneficiarias o receptoras de los beneficios. Extender la protección social a las poblaciones rurales tiene un gran potencial para fomentar el empoderamiento económico de las mujeres rurales. Sin embargo, para aprovechar este potencial, son necesarias acciones adicionales. Existe un amplio margen para hacer que las políticas y programas de protección social sean más sensibles al género y para alinearlos mejor con las políticas de desarrollo agrícola y rural para contribuir a enfrentar las desigualdades de género. Reconociendo este potencial y aprovechando la evidencia existente, la FAO busca mejorar la contribución de la protección social a la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres mediante la asistencia técnica a nivel país para el desarrollo de capacidades, la generación de conocimiento y el apoyo programático. Para avanzar en esta agenda, la FAO ha desarrollado la Caja de herramientas para programas de protección social sensibles al género orientados a luchar contra la pobreza y el hambre en el medio rural. La Caja de herramientas está diseñada para apoyar a los formuladores de políticas y profesionales en sus esfuerzos para aplicar sistemáticamente un enfoque de género que esté en línea con los acuerdos globales y los compromisos de la FAO para ampliar los sistemas de protección social inclusivos a las poblaciones rurales. Esta Caja se enfoca en el rol de la protección social para reducir las desigualdades sociales de género, así como la pobreza y el hambre en las zonas rurales.

VOLUNTARY GUIDELINES ON NATIONAL FOREST MONITORING
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251096198
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
National information needs on forests have grown considerably in recent years, evolving from forest area and growing stock information to key aspects of sustainable forest management, such as the role of forests in the conservation of biodiversity and the provision of other ecosystem services. More recently, information on changes in carbon stocks, socio-economic aspects including the contribution to livelihoods and poverty reduction, governance and broader land use issues has become critical for national planning.

A Passion for Difference
Author: Henrietta L. Moore
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745668054
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In this new book Henrietta Moore examines the nature and limitations of the theoretical languages used by anthropologists and others to write about sex, gender and sexuality. Moore begins by discussing recent feminist debates on the body and the notion of the non-universal human subject. She then considers why anthropologists have contributed relatively little to these debates, and suggests that this has much to do with the history of anthropological thought with regard to the conceptualization of "persons" and "selves" cross-culturally. Moore develops a specific anthropological approach to feminist post-structuralist and psychoanalytic theory. In subsequent chapters Moore pursues a series of related themes including the links between gender, identity and violence; questions of gender and identity in the context of intra-household resource allocation; the construction of domestic space and its relationship to bodily practices and the internationalization of relations of difference; and the links between the gender of the anthropologist and the writing of anthropology. This volume demonstrates anthropology's contribution to current debates in feminist theory.

The North American Mosaic

ISBN:
Category : Agriculture
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

The Rational Spirit in Modern Continuum Mechanics
Author: Chi-Sing Man
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9781402018282
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 918
Book Description
Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919–2000) was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W. Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will ?nd personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37 research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy. These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern continuum mechanics succinctly as “conceptual analysis, analysis not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning: logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251091870
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 37
Book Description
The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Land Tenure and Rural Development
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: FAO
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
This publication deals with key issues in land tenure, especially as they relate to food insecurity and rural development situations. Land tenure issues are frequently ignored in rural development interventions, with often long-lasting, negative results. This guide is designed to assist technical officers in governments and civil society in understanding why and how land tenure issues should be considered in rural development projects. It analyses important contexts such as environmental degradation, gender discrimination, and conflicts, where land tenure is currently of critical concern.
