Titre(s) : Science for Agriculture and Rural Development in Low-income Countries [Texte électronique] / edited by Reimund P. Roetter, Herman Keulen, Marijke Kuiper, Jan Verhagen, H. H. Laar
Publication : Dordrecht : Springer Netherlands : Springer e-books, 2007
Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Note(s) : Since 1998, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management and Food Quality
(LNV) promotes development-orientated agricultural and environmental research and
strengthening of North-South partnerships through its International Cooperation (DLO-IC)
research programme. By 2005, some 70 collaborative North-South projects had been carried
out. All science groups in Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) were involved
in the implementation of the programme and at least half the projects and activities
undertaken were directly related to Rural Development and Sustainable Agriculture
(RDSA). Facing new challenges with respect to sustainable development strategies for
low-income countries, related to global environmental change and globalization of
markets, an interdisciplinary Wageningen research group set out to draw lessons from
the DLO-IC projects of the last eight years, stimulate discussion and support identification
of a future research agenda for RDSA. In that process, special emphasis was given
to lessons for future thinking about the contribution of agriculture to: 1) poverty
alleviation and rural livelihoods; 2)food security, human nutrition and health; 3)
environmental sustainability and natural resource management. In discussing the way
ahead, a number of major research challenges, as well as policy questions are outlined.
These include the interrelations between climate change and food security and environmental
degradation, increased demand for biofuels and animal feed, and competing claims on
natural resources, and rural development and livelihood strategies in low-income countries
