Book (series)BulletinTesting and Evaluation of Agricultural Machinery and Equipment
Principles and practices
1994Also available in:
No results found.Formal testing of agricultural machinery was instigated during the industiial revolution at the tum of the century, but it was only with the wide adoption of engine powered equipment that testing began to make a serious and valuable contribution to manufacturers and users of agricultural machinery. Testing, in which the engineering parameters of a machine are determined, has, without doubt, received the greatest attention. The evaluation of machines, in which their characteristics of handling an d performance, their economic impact, as well as their engineering parameters, are determined, came at a much later stage in development, despite the greater potential benefits provided to the user and manufacturer by these activities. There is no universal terminology which can be used to distinguish the activities of testing and evaluation. -

No results found.Climate change poses a major threat to reducing poverty, eradicating hunger, and achieving sustainable development. It accelerates the frequency and intensity of extreme natural hazards, thus affecting the lives and livelihoods of those living in rural areas.

This brief stresses the important role social protection plays in supporting inclusive climate risk-management strategies that contribute to safeguarding livelihoods and increasing the resilience of households.
