The role of wetlands in lake ecological functions and sustainable livelihoods in lake environment: A case study on cross border Lake Jipe - Kenya/Tanzania
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Ndetei, Robert.
Wetlands are highly productive ecosystems. Their values and functions support other ecosystems and are significant to economic development. They once covered large areas of the world and are now among the rarest and most at-risk ecosystems. They are highly valued for their recreational, educational, scientific, aesthetic, spiritual and cultural values; and form an important component of lakes that provide critical functions influencing lake ecological functions. Despite the important roles in sustaining vibrant lake ecology, supporting economic development and elevating poverty, almost all wetlands in the world are threatened by diverse human induced factors. Lake Jipe striding across the Kenya-Tanzania international boundary is an important ecosystem to...

Distribution of economic benefits from the fisheries of Lake Victoria
Provedor de dados: 20
Autores: Abila, R.O.; Odongkara, K.O.; Onyango, P.O.
The Lake Victoria fishery contributes immensely to the socio-economic development of the riparian states. The East African Community has designated the lake basin as an ‘economic growth zone’, with the potential to develop into a major economic region. The fisheries are vital in creating employment opportunities, mostly rural-based, thereby helping to reduce rural-urban migration. Fish is also a rich source of animal protein for human consumption and provides raw material (fishmeal) for processing animal feeds. The fish industry contributes to GDP and has continued to be an important source of foreign exchange earned from fish exports. Besides, the fish industry contributes to the national and local government revenues through levying of various taxes,...

Pressures and Preferences Affecting Willingness to Apply Beef Manure on Crops in the Colorado High Plains
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Hoag,   Dana L.; Lacy,   Michael G.; Davis,   Jessica.
Little is known about producers' willingness to use manure. Past studies have focused on substitutability for fertilizers. We surveyed crop producers in a cattle-dense region of the Colorado Plains about whether and why they apply manure, focusing on how pressures (like owning cattle) or preferences (pro and con) affect their adoption. Using logistic regression, findings show that pressure and preference (PS/PF) significantly affect adoption. A producer with high PS/PF was 10 times more likely to use manure than one with low PS/PF. Policy and decision makers can use such findings to inform education and policy aimed at increasing the land application of manure.

Out of the pot and into the money: Managing the Western Rock Lobster Fishery by ITE's or ITQ's?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McLeod,   Paul; Lindner,   Robert K.; Nicholls,   John.
The West Coast Rock Lobster fishery is Australia's most valuable commercial fishery. Around 550 vessels harvest an average of 10,500 tonnes of lobster per annum. The industry has an enviable track record of biological management based on a variety of input controls, although three significant pot reduction interventions have been necessary in recent years. An evaluation of a range of possible future management regimes is reported in this paper. The results were derived from a purpose built bio-economic model three separate biological zones in the fishery using non linear optimization to produce ten year steady state solutions for alternative management options. Management options included the current pot control system, and versions of variable...

Control of Footrot in Small Ruminants of Nepal
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: McLeod,   Ross.
Footrot, a bacterial disease which attacks the feet of sheep and goats causing lameness and high levels of flock mortality, was endemic in the western districts of Nepal. As a result of the collaborative efforts between Nepalese, Australian and British scientists within ACIAR projects AS2/1991/017 and AS2/1996/021, the virulent form of this disease has been eradicated from the livestock industries of the country. The economic benefits stemming from this achievement are described and quantified in this report. Over the 1993–2022 period, ACIAR invested $A1.5 million in research designed to improve the management of footrot in Nepal. Based on levels of disease prevalence reported at the beginning of the projects and a probability of the disease spreading to...

THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF BREASTFEEDING: A REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Weimer,   Jon P.
A minimum of $3.6 billion would be saved if breastfeeding were increased from current levels (64 percent in-hospital, 29 percent at 6 months) to those recommended by the U.S. Surgeon General (75 and 50 percent). This figure is likely an underestimation of the total savings because it represents cost savings from the treatment of only three childhood illnesses: otitis media, gastroenteritis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. This report reviews breastfeeding trends and previous studies that assessed the economic benefits of breastfeeding.

Potential Benefits of Bt Brinjal in India — An Economic Assessment
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kumar,   Sant; Lakshmi Prasanna,   P.A.; Wankhade,   Shwetal.
The potential economic benefits of Bt brinjal hybrids in terms of yield gain, reduction in insecticide-use, and increase in net returns per hectare have been reported in this study. Results have shown that adoption of Bt brinjal hybrids would provide yield gain of 37 per cent and reduction in total insecticide-use of about 42 per cent over non-Bt hybrids. Other benefits like increase in additional brinjal production (30 thousand tonnes), savings from insecticides (` 47 crore) against Fruit and Shoot Borer (FSB), increase in net returns (` 11029/ha), and reduction in price of brinjal output (3%), etc. would be at 15 per cent adoption level. With increased adoption level of 60 per cent of Bt brinjal hybrids would provide, additional production of 119...

CONSUMERS' WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR FOOD SAFETY: A PATHOGEN SPECIFIC ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mukhopadhaya,   Kaushik; Adhikari,   Bishwa B.; Mumma,   Gerald A.; Teisl,   Mario F.
Estimates of the economic benefits of intervention strategies to make food safer from specific pathogens for different durations of protection are not available.  We estimated consumers' willingness to pay for a hypothetical vaccine that would deliver a 1-year, 5- years, 10-years, or lifetime protection against Salmonella, E. coli, or Listeria.  We used logit and Tobit models to estimate the economic benefits of food safety measures against these major foodborne pathogens.  Based on FoodNet 2002 population survey data, consumers were willing to pay for protection against foodborne pathogens.  They were willing to pay more for longer protection and for protection against E. coli compared to Salmonella or Listeria.  However, they were less willing to pay if...

EVALUATING TELEMEDICINE IN RURAL SETTINGS: ISSUES AND APPLICATIONS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Capalbo,   Susan Marie; Heggem,   Christine N.
Changes in health care policies, demographics, and technology have presented new opportunities for the delivery of medical care services and information to rural communities. Telemedicine—the use of electronic information and communications technologies to provide and support health care when distances separates the participants—is one technology that has impacted the efficiency of delivery of rural health care services. This paper presents an overview of the telemedicine technologies, government involvement in support of telemedicine, evaluation efforts to date for these technologies, and issues that need to be addressed in designing an economic-based framework to evaluate the net benefits of telemedicine technologies to rural communities and consumers....

Objective of this study was to assess health economic benefits of published standard of aflatoxin residue in peanut by measuring the cost of illness. Data were carried out from the total number of 99 producers and 100 consumers in the Northeast and the North of Thailand. The results showed that 3.8 persons in 100,000 persons would be at the risk of liver cancer due to consumption of contaminated peanut. The benefit gain of 1,793 to 2,658 million baht per year was estimated in case of the enforcement of new standard. However, other benefits of all  stakeholders along supply chain of peanut must be considered for implementation of the policy. The fair comparison of benefits and costs of policy implementation of aflatoxin residue standard must also be taken...
