Extractions: World Relief Office ... Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) Agriculture research plays a key role in reducing world hunger. The worlds population has grown enormously, yet the worlds land area is constant, and agricultural land area is continually reduced as urban areas expand. Thus agricultural research, which has a principal task to increase the productive capacity of agriculture resources, is vital. CGIAR is a worldwide network of agricultural research centers that play a key role in world agricultural research, together with the donors that support them. There are 16 research centers, including those for tropical agriculture, forestry, corn and wheat, dry lands agriculture, rice, potatoes, livestock and (saving) genetic resources. Two of them especially, those for corn and wheat, and rice, played a key role in the green revolution. Reach the centers individual web sites.

Centre For Rural Social Research Social Aspects of agriculture, environment Sustainability Members of theagriculture, environment and Sustainability research group include http://www.csu.edu.au/research/crsr/research/about_4.htm
Extractions: The Centre for Rural Social Research (CRSR) conducts research into the social aspects of environmental management, especially in agriculture, with specific reference to the Murray-Darling Basin. Qualitative and quantitative methods including Rapid Rural Appraisal, focus group discussions, unstructured interviewing, as well as large scale social surveys and GIS mapping have been undertaken to research, amongst other things, the social basis of adoption of sustainable agriculture. Research projects undertaken by CRSR in this area include:- Social Impacts of Drought : A report to NSW Agriculture (open PDF) Professor Margaret Alston and Jenny Kent, January 2004 Australian Farm Families' Experiences of Drought Severe drought has long term economic and social costs to all Australians. Research for this project focused on farm families in the Central Queensland and Riverina areas who have lived - and are still living - through drought, and explored the sociological variables which influence attitudes to drought. The work was conducted by CRSR researcher, Dr Ian Gray, in conjunction with the Rural Social and Economic Research Centre at Central Queensland University. The knowledge gained through the `lived' experience of drought has been analysed and interpreted in order to bring that knowledge to other farm families in Australia. It will also enable an informed long term management strategy to be developed which will assist rural adjustment and counselling agencies in their activities. A report was published by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation and is available at www.rirdc.gov.au.

Extractions: Reproduced, with permission, from: Chen, R. S. 1990. Global agriculture, environment, and hunger: Past, present, and future links. Environmental Impact Assesment Review Robert S. Chen Assistant Professor (Research) Alan Shawn Feinstein World Hunger Program Brown University December 1990 Recent attention to the threat of global environmental change has tended to focus on the possible impacts of a changing environment on agriculture and the implications for global and regional food security. From a policy viewpoint, however, it is also critical to understand the degree to which agriculturally related activities may contribute to global-scale environmental change and the extent to which policies to prevent, mitigate, or adapt to environmental change may themselves affect agriculture and hunger. These two issues are likely to become especially important in making decisions not only about how to reduce the magnitude of human perturbations to the environment but also about how to improve both food security and environmental quality in the more crowded world of the future. To help put this broad topic into a long-term context, this paper highlights the close linkages between agriculture, environment, and hunger in the past, reviews some of the ways in which the global food system interacts with the global environment in the present, and raises some key questions regarding agriculture, environment, and hunger in the future. The pritnary focus of the paper is on global-scale changes in the environment, including possible changes in the earth's climate induced by increasing atmospheric concentrations of radiatively active trace gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2). methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) and depletion of the stratospheric ozone (O3) layer caused by releases of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and other ozone-depleting substances. Interactions between agriculture and local- or regional-scale changes in the environrnent-which may also have important implications for human health and welfare-are not considered in detail.

When your current LIMS starts irritating you with its limitations, what do you do? Do you go buy the newest version of your current software? Do you scrap everything and build your own specialized software? Do you go through the long laborous process of trying to find something out there that may just do what you want? What about your lab people? Will they accept change? Will you be trading a known pain for unknown ones? Desert Oasis addresses the fears some potential users may have of replacing their existing software and its shortcomings with ALIS by emphasizing the following points: Productivity Similarly powerful to, yet far cheaper than, proprietary SQLs with front ends, this database engine with the ALIS graphic user interface, works very well.
