Última La Ganadería Ovina en Pequeña Escala y su Impacto en el Desarrollo Rural, Chignahuapan, Puebla Colegio de Postgraduados Hernández Hidalgo, Lidia. El estudio se realizó para conocer la situación de la ganadería ovina como una componente del desarrollo rural en Chignahuapan, Puebla. El método de investigación fue el descriptivo-analítico, en el que se combinaron procedimientos cuantitativos y cualitativos, aunque el método principal empleado fue la encuesta que se aplicó a una muestra aleatoria de 79 familias productoras de ganado ovino. Los resultados indicaron que para las familias y el municipio de Chignahuapan, la ganadería ovina constituye una de las actividades económicas muy importantes por ser una fuente de ingresos y contribuir a la alimentación. Sin embargo, por falta de capacitación, asistencia técnica, apoyo de programas gubernamentales y precios justos, los niveles de producción...

About the limitations of environmental policies in the Amazon and the potential of achieving environmental goals through pro-poor policies Ecology and Society Pokorny, Benno; University of Freiburg; benno.pokorny@waldbau.uni-freiburg.de. Once again, the international community focuses on the preservation of Amazonian forests, in particular through a bundle of initiatives grouped under the term of REDD+. Initially focusing on reducing carbon emissions, the REDD+ process became increasingly linked with developmental goals that represent the primary interest of all Amazon countries. In consequence, REDD+ can be seen as another attempt to achieve the twin goals of environmental protection and rural development, and consequently, relies on the strategies and tools of past efforts. Against this background, we explore past experiences with key strategies for environmental protection and poverty alleviation in the Amazon to critically reflect about the potential of REDD+ to contribute to...

Ano: 2013 AGRICULTURAL POLICY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT AgEcon Lazanyi, Janos. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a cornerstone of EU policy relating to rural areas. Initially, it aimed to provide a harmonised framework for maintaining adequate supplies, increasing productivity and ensuring that both consumers and producers received a fair deal in the market. These priorities have shifted to environmental and animal welfare concerns, as well as food safety and security aspects. As a consequence, the CAP has gradually moved from a production-based structure of subsidies to a market-oriented system, integrating standards for food, environment and biodiversity, as well as animal welfare. In 2010, the EU launched an extensive debate on the future of the CAP, as the European Union needs a better tailored, reformed Common Agricultural...

An emerging requirement for the evaluation of the rural development policy is the adoption of an objective method accounting for both material and immaterial achievements, and measuring the performance in order to understand the degree of accomplishment of policy objectives. In this paper we propose a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) approach capable of dealing with economic and social indicators, to measure the (relative) technical efficiency of a set of Local Action Groups (LAGs) operating within the LEADER programme. An evaluation exercise referred to eight LAGs located in Italy, is provided to demonstrate the effects of the inclusion of social capital indicator in the evaluation of the LAGs’ performances. In particular, the DEA allows to measure the... Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Rural Development; LEADER; Social capital; DEA; Agricultural and Food Policy; Q18; R58. Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/99429 Rural networks in the funding period 2007-2013: A critical review of the EU policy instrument. AgEcon Marquardt, Doris. Rural Networks have been implemented as an instrument to enhance EU rural development policies in the funding period 2007-2013. Gaps in European programme documents concerning the networks’ purpose and their evaluation led to a survey of the National Network Units being conducted in 2010. Besides investigating how these gaps are bridged nationally, the survey aimed to provide an overview of the development of the networks, of the initial experiences and challenges faced in running the networks, and to assess their potential impact. Empirical findings show that the networks probably support rural development (policies) and create added value. However, ways of demonstrating this impact in quantitative terms are lacking. Member states tend to stick closely to...

The introduction of the Integrated Projects of Food Chain requires the development of models capable of interpreting the dynamics of vertical and horizontal coordination between agents and the definition of the issues that most affect the ability of professionals to provide value added to goods and products to acquire in exchange a competitive advantage. With reference to the Basilicata region, the production structure of the region and the recent development of the Integrated Projects of Food Chain, this research has developed a new model of territorial organization of rural development. Now connect a new food chain model that combines theories of productivity, typical of contract economic, with those of social welfare and environmental economics:...

Recentemente algumas políticas públicas foram organizadas com o intuito de dirigir recursos para agricultores familiares mais carentes e para estimular o “desenvolvimento local”, incorporando o debate de “Desenvolvimento Territorial”. No Brasil, as regiões Nordeste e Sul concentram a maioria dos agricultores familiares e é importante analisar o perfil dos municípios. Partindo de metodologia desenvolvida por Kageyama (2005), construímos um Índice de Desenvolvimento Rural e o calculamos para cada um dos municípios das regiões Sul e Nordeste do Brasil. No presente trabalho apresentamos a metodologia aplicada e os resultados encontrados, comparando os valores do IDR com os do IDH para mostrar como o primeiro capta aspectos diferenciados e é capaz de...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/108525 Traceability and the new CAP AgEcon Maraveyas, Napoleon N.; Doukas, Yannis El.. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) was strongly criticized for the food safety crises of the 1990s which included Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), dioxin, foot and mouth disease and swine fever to name a few. Even though the first rules on food safety date from the very early days of the EU, a need was recognized to replace a number of these rules accumulated through the years, whose implementation was difficult to monitor, with a simpler and more comprehensive approach. The result was the General Food Law (REGULATION (EC) No 178/2002). A core concept introduced was traceability, namely “the ability to trace and follow food, feed, and ingredients through all stages of production, processing and distribution”. Furthermore after the General...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/58089 A Theory of Standards-Driven Rural Development AgEcon Swinnen, Johan F.M.; Rozelle, Scott; Xiang, Tao; Vandemoortele, Thijs. Consumers have increasing demands for product standards. This has important implications for development. This paper develops a formal theory of the process of the introduction of high product standards in developing countries. The model endogenizes the introduction of high standards. Initial differences in income, the nature of capital constraints and transaction costs, the initial production structure and policies and institutions are shown to affect the likelihood of and the size of the high standards economy. Initial differences in some of these same factors—as well as inter-country differences in the distribution of the sizes of farmers—are also shown to determine which producers are included, and which not.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/51475 UMA ANÁLISE DAS LIBERAÇÕES DO PRONAF NAS REGIÕES NORDESTE E SUL DO BRASIL – A MANUTENÇÃO DA LÓGICA CONCENTRADORA? AgEcon Correa, Vanessa Petrelli; Silva, Fernanda Faria; Neder, Henrique Dantas. Nos anos iniciais da implantação do PRONAF, observou-se uma forte concentração de recursos nas regiões Sudeste/Sul e para produtores mais integrados. Recentemente, ocorreram algumas mudanças com o propósito de dirigir os recursos a agricultores mais carentes e de estimular o “desenvolvimento local”, incorporando o debate do paradigma de Desenvolvimento Territorial. O objetivo do artigo é o de mostrar que, mesmo tendo em vista a alteração recente da legislação, o PRONAF continua preso à lógica concentradora de recursos, definida pelas exigências do Sistema Bancário. Fizemos um estudo dos municípios captadores de recursos na região Sul e Nordeste e calculamos o Índice de Desenvolvimento Rural(IDR) de cada um deles. Este índice incorpora aspectos extra, além...

The introduction of the Integrated Projects of Food Chain requires the development of models capable of interpreting the dynamics of vertical and horizontal coordination between agents and the definition of the issues that most affect the ability of professionals to provide value added to goods and products to acquire in exchange a competitive advantage. With reference to setting up Local Production System of the Pollino - Lagonegrese, characterized by the development of an "atypical" food chain, for which the main factor of integration and competitive advantage lies in the strong link between companies and territory and in the social and economic value of the protected area agriculture, this research has developed a new model for food chain that combines...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/95310 An empirical analysis of the determinants of the Rural Development policy spending for Human Capital AgEcon Camaioni, Beatrice; Materia, Valentina Cristiana. The aim of the paper is twofold: to present a preliminary analysis of the distribution of the Rural Development (RD) expenditure for specific measures related to human capital across EU and to investigate which factors may explain the variation of intensity of spending between the regions. In particular, a descriptive analysis of the budget and of the expenditure for EU 27 will be presented. A linear regression model (OLS) is also presented in order to verify which factors weigh more in determining the spending decisions for the European regions. The analysis is carried out taking into account the EAFRD expenditures for the measures related to human capital for the period 2007-2008 at NUTS2 level.

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/48817 POTENTIAL OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT TO INCREASE RURAL EMPLOYMENT AgEcon Pemberton, Carlisle A.; Mgonja, Mary A.. The paper examined whether increasing agricultural output would lead to an expansion of employment in rural areas in the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The paper found that the agricultural development problems in the Caribbean and SSA are very similar, especially, declining export demand for products, adverse trade policies and the actions of nature, causing damage to agricultural production. The simulations performed showed that in both regions, even a 4% annual increase in agricultural output has the potential for annually increasing agricultural employment by over 6%, even with an annual technical progress of 1.5% in the case of SSA and 2% in the case of the Caribbean. Expanding rural employment through expansion of agricultural output is...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/6738 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS: SOME LESSONS FROM THE PILOT TISSUE-CULTURE (TC) BANANA PRODUCTION PROMOTION PROJECT IN KENYA, 1997-2002 AgEcon Mbogoh, Stephen G.; Wambugu, Florence M.; Wakhusama, Sam. This article is based on a socio-economic impact study of the introduction and adoption of tissue-culture (tc) technology in banana production in Kenya. It attempts to demonstrate that a prudent introduction and promotion of a new biotechnological innovation in farming can make a positive contribution to the socio-economic status of resource poor farmers in a developing country, such as Kenya. Adoption of tc technology in banana production in Kenya is considered a good example of biotechnological applications in agriculture. Hence the article hopes to make a contribution to recent debates at international levels as to whether biotechnology can make a difference in uplifting the living standards of people in the third world (Qaim, 1999; Graff, et al 2002;...

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25929 Village inequality in Western China: implications for development strategy in lagging regions AgEcon Xing, Li; Fan, Shenggen; Luo, Xiaopeng; Zhang, Xiaobo. Increased regional inequality has been a major concern in many emerging economies like China, India, Vietnam and Thailand. However, even a large inequality is observed within the lagging regions. The objective of this paper is to look into what are the sources of within region inequality using the community surveys and a census type of households in Western China. This snapshot view of inequality within and between rural villages in western China is based on a census-type household survey in three administrative villages and a sampling survey of 286 natural villages in the poor province of Guizhou in 2004. In contrast to coastal regions, nonfarm income is distributed unevenly in this inland western region. This accounts for the largest share of overall...
