Strengthening Producer Organizations to unleash productive potential of smallholder farmers in Uganda
Producer organizations (PO) can improve market access, lower transaction costs and increase the profits of smallholder farmers by offsetting diseconomies of scale (Heyer et al., 1999; Hill et al., 2008; The World Bank, 2008). Yet, evidence for Sub-Saharan Africa shows that POs often fail to attain these objectives. Instead of...

可持续农业 - 丰富农业生物多样性
据生物学家估计,当前物种每年消失的速度比历史上高出 1000 倍。语言学家预测,到21 世纪末期,世界上50—90%的语言将会消失。 基于这些研究结果,最近发表的一篇文章指出:生物多样性丧失和语言 灭绝有着很强的相关性。这些研究结果使我们震惊,若我们的自然和文 化以很快的速度被破坏,那么世界将向何处去?
因此,让我们携手与破坏生物多样性的力量作斗争,保护好现有种 类繁多的动植物种类,让所有人都享受生物多样性带来的颜色、味道、 纹理和食物的营养价值。从中美洲“米奇”飓风之后,大家观察到:树 木大、作物品种多的农场受到的损失最小。对于不可预测的气候,生物 多样性提供了保障,其作用远远优于所谓的高产转基因种子。所以,让 我们珍惜小规模家庭农业、捕鱼业和畜牧业在维护全球生物多样性中的 作用。小规模农户拥有宝贵的传统知识,为人类的发展做出了巨大的贡 献。遗憾的是,由于他们对全球经济的影响小,所以得不到社会的重 视。
生物多样性与小规模农业的功能联系紧密,生物多样性与农户的知 识、 语言和文化密不可分。如果小规模农业不再作为一种生计方式,我 们的食品体系、全世界的生物多样性、语言和文化都将面临着严重的威 胁。只有扭转生物多样性急剧下降的趋势,生物多样性才能得到保留, 小规模家庭农业才能得到发展!
