Risorse genetiche agrarie in Italia
   

Il Monitoring Institute for Rare Breeds and Seeds in Europe ha pubblicato lo studio "Risorse genetiche agrarie in Italia". In oltre 200 pagine la ricerca illustra la situazione delle risorse genetiche di animali da allevamento e piante coltivate in Italia. Partendo dal rispettivo grado di minaccia, vengono quindi presentate le iniziative di conservazione statali, universitarie e private, per procedere poi ad una stima della necessità di intervento. Lo studio è concepito come opera di consultazione ed è pubblicato in italiano. La versione integrale in tedesco è allegata in CD-Rom.

Farming systems and poverty
    Dixon, John A. | Gibbon, David P. | Gulliver, Aidan

Small farmers produce much of the developing world's food, yet they are generally much poorer than the rest of the population in these countries. This book looks in detail at some 20 farming systems that are judged to have the greatest potential for poverty and hunger reduction and economic growth in the next few decades, and asks the crucial question: What are likely to be the most successful strategies for small farmers in each system, and what sort of initiatives can best help farmers to realize them?

The bitter fruit of oil palm : dispossession and deforestation
   

The impacts of oil palm plantations have been widely ignored, and given widespread promotion of these plantations throughout the tropics, the World Rainforest Movement decided to bring together research and local struggles in this book, aimed as a tool for action. Presented are three representative cases for each continent -- Cameroon, Ecuador and Indonesia -- as well as a general overview and examples from other countries.

Evolution's workshop : God and science on the Galapagos Islands
    Larson, Edward J. (Edward John)
More than any other place on Earth, the Galápagos Islands are the workshop of evolution. Isolated and desolate, they were largely overlooked by early explorers until Charles Darwin arrived there in the 1830's. It was Darwin who recognized that Galápagos' isolation and desolation were advantages: the paucity of species and lack of outside influences made the workings of natural selection crystal clear. Since then, every important advance and controversy in evolutionary thinking has had its reflection on the Galápagos. In every sense-intellectually, institutionally, and culturally-the history of science on these islands is a history of the way evolutionary science was done for the past 150 years. Evolution's Workshop tells the story of Darwin's explorations there; the fabulous Gilded Age expeditions, run from rich men's gigantic yachts, that featured rough-and-ready science during the day and black-tie dinners every night; the struggle for control of research on the Galápagos; the current efforts by "creation scientists" to use the Galápagos to undercut evolutionary teaching; and many other compelling stories.

Agricultura salud y ambiente
    Sandia, Luis A. | Cabeza, Miguel A. | Arandia, Johnny | Bianchi, Guillermo

La degradación ambiental, producto de un conjunto de actividades económicas, entre ellas la agricultura, produce efectos negativos sobre la salud de las personas comprometiendo, de esta forma, el desarrollo sostenible. Éste es uno de los enfoques presentados en la publicación, como resultado de varios años de investigación adelantada por los autores, en tres localidades de producción agrícola venezolana.
