    Como muestran los artculos de este nmero, los bosques contribuyen a la seguridad alimentaria y al sustento sostenible de diversos modos, directa e indirectamente, sirviendo de apoyo a los sistemas agrcolas, correspondindoles un papel en el desarrollo rural y en el mantenimiento de la integridad ecolgica y en la creacin de oportunidades de empleo y generacin de ingresos. Convendra que los gobiernos consideraran estas contribuciones cuando se esfuerzan por alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria, y que integraran la silvicultura en sus polticas y planificaciones, junto con otras disciplinas como la agricultura y la nutricin.

    Temas Actuales y Emergentes para el Análisis Económico y la Investigación de Políticas
    2001
    Also available in:
    Esta publicación analiza cuatro situaciones actuales o que están surgiendo en el ámbito de los alimentos, la agricultura y el desarrollo rural. Estos análisis son obra de académicos reconocidos de este campo. La selección de los temas de análisis se hizo a partir de un estudio realizado por el personal de la FAO que trabaja en actividades de asistencia para las políticas en las principales regiones en desarrollo. De esta manera, la opción refleja la opinión de las personas encuestadas y, por ext ensión, la de los encargados de elaborar las políticas, respecto a las principales prioridades de investigación en materia de análisis económico de la agricultura, el desarrollo rural, la pobreza y la seguridad alimentaria. El informe presenta un capítulo con un resumen de los resultados del estudio mencionado. Los cuatro temas analizados a fondo son: i) las nuevas tenencias del pensamiento sobre el desarrollo y sus repercusiones en la agricultura y el desarrollo rural (por Simon Maxwell and Rob in Heber Percy); ii) las causas, características y estrategias de lucha contra la pobreza rural, con particular énfasis en América Latina (por Alberto Valdés y Johan A. Mistiaen); iii) instituciones, reforma y rendimiento agrícola (por Pranab Bardhan); y iv) cuestiones relacionadas con la emigración y la pobreza (por J. Edward Taylor).

    Planning in government forest agencies how to balance forest use and conservation: agenda for training workshop. 1998

    The purpose of planning for forestry development is to establish a workable framework for forest use and conservation which incorporates the economic, social and environmental dimensions on a sustainable basis. The framework is about creating a shared vision of how forests will be used and protected. This can be summed up in a single central question: Trees and forests for whom and for what? The question is not new but what is new is the perception that so many different groups have an interest in the reply. Forestry planning has traditionally been mainly concerned with the production of timber for industry and other wood products, and with forest industry development. Planning for environmental goals also has a long history but was largely restricted to designated areas for exclusive conservation. National forestry development agencies were essentially responsible for the sustained yield management on protected public forest lands and for reserved forests. The term "sustained yield " was mostly limited to wood production and therefore excluded the majority of other forest products and services. Although most forestry agencies have made progress towards multiple-use management, planning remains often biased towards timber in a wide range of countries. Many of the actions taken in order to stimulate forestry development in the immediate failed to sustain the momentum of growth in the longer term. Short term achievements sometimes resulted in degradation or destruction of the stock of natural capital needed in order to maintain growth in the future or reduced options for future end uses by degrading the forest capital.

    The Protocol of 8-9 July 1946 relative to the dissolution of the International Institute of Agriculture, transferred the functions and assets of the said Institute to FAO. Of these assets, the Library is unquestionably the most outstanding and is a lasting record of the Institute's work and its achievement in the field of agriculture. This catalogue will undoubtedly contribute towards a better knowledge of this international Library. This volume in its present form, represents the systematic card-index, by subject of the Brussels Decimal Classification, in French and English, and it's supplemented by the general alphabetical index of authors.

    This is Part 1 of 4 - Books - sections General, Bibliographies, Periodicals, Philosophy and Social Sciences.
