Book (stand-alone)Technical reportSoil nutrient loss assessment in Malawi, Technical report 2018
Also available in:
No results found.Soil loss is a major threat to agricultural development in Malawi, and the size of the agricultural sector in the Malawian economy renders it a major limitation to the overall economic development of the country. Soil loss reduces cultivable soil depth, but also takes away fertile soils from farmlands. The net effect is a loss of agricultural productivity, increased expenditure on fertilizers, and a general decline in profitability of crop production. The study aimed to assess soil nutrient dynamics in Malawi for informing economic assessment of soil loss in the country. In order to assess changes in soil nutrient levels, the study reviewed past and present literature as well as soil data, and compared their results with those that were generated during the study. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2020
Agricultural markets and sustainable development: Global value chains, smallholder farmers and digital innovations
2020The State of Agricultural Commodity Markets 2020 (SOCO 2020) aims to discuss policies and mechanisms that promote sustainable outcomes – economic, social and environmental – in agricultural and food markets, both global and domestic. The analysis is organized along the trends and challenges that lie at the heart of global discussions on trade and development. These include the evolution of trade and markets; the emergence of global value chains in food and agriculture; the extent to which smallholder farmers in developing countries participate in value chains and markets; and the transformative impacts of digital technology on markets. Along these themes, SOCO 2020 discusses policies and institutions that can promote inclusive economic growth and also harness markets to contribute towards the realization of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookRural structures in the tropics
Design and development
2011Also available in:
No results found.This book is an effort by FAO to compile an up-to-date, comprehensive text on rural structures and services in the tropics, focusing on structures for small- to medium-scale farms and, to some extent, village-scale agricultural infrastructure. The earlier edition, entitled Farm structures in tropical climates. A textbook for structural engineering and design, published in 1986, has been used for over two decades as a standard textbook for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses on rural structures and services in universities throughout sub-Saharan Africa. This second edition will help to improve teaching – at all educational levels – on the subject of rural buildings in developing countries of the tropics and it will assist professionals currently engaged in providing technical advice on rural structures and services, from either agricultural extension departments or non-governmental rural development organizations. This book will also provide technical guidance in the context of disaster recovery and rehabilitation, for rebuilding the sound rural structures and related services that are key to development and economic sustainability. While this book is intended primarily for teaching university- and college-level agricultural engineering students about rural structures and services, resources might be made available to produce textbooks based on this material for teaching at other educational levels. Although parts of the background material relate specifically to E ast and Southeast Africa, the book’s principles apply to the whole of tropical Africa, Latin America and South Asia because, while building traditions may vary, the available materials are similar.
