LADA - Land Degradation Assessment in Drylands
2011Also available in:
No results found.The WOCAT-LADA-DESIRE mapping tool is based on the original WOCAT mapping questionnaire (WOCAT, 2007). It has been expanded to pay more attention to issues such as biological and water degradation, it also places more emphasis on direct and socio-economic causes of these phenomena, including their impacts on ecosystem services. It evaluates what type of land degradation is actually happening where and why and what is being done about it in terms of sustainable land management (SLM) in the form o f a questionnaire. Linking the information obtained through the questionnaire to a geographical information system (GIS) allows the production of maps as well as area calculations on various aspects of land degradation and conservation. The map database and mapped outputs provide a powerful tool to obtain an overview of land degradation and conservation in a district, province, country, region, or world-wide. -

Este documento, elaborado por Gustavo Gordillo, contiene información y análisis respecto a: a) La evolución en la utilización de los conceptos de seguridad alimentaria y nutricional, y de soberanía alimentaria, b) El concepto y las implicaciones de la soberanía alimentaria: globalización, papel del Estado y de la ciudadanía en la construcción de las políticas públicas, c) La seguridad alimentaria y nutricional y la soberanía alimentaria: ¿conceptos antagónicos o complementarios? d) Con clusiones y elementos para el debate a nivel regional. En este resumen, estos puntos se sintetizan y relacionan entre sí. -

Also available in:
No results found.The October issue of the publication summarizes the salient trends and drivers of market developments and significant public policy changes in 2022. The review finds that a confluence of factors, including sluggish import demand from leading meat importers and rising national production, led international meat prices to trend downwards in the second half of the year, The review also shows that global meat production growth was challenged by disease outbreaks, high input costs and extreme weather events, while global economic downturn led to a drop in world meat trade.
