This book discusses knowledge-based sustainable agro-ecological and natural resource management systems and best practices for sustained agricultural productivity and ecosystem resilience for better livelihoods under a changing climate. With a focus on agriculture in Africa, the book assesses innovative technologies for use on smallholder farms, and addresses some of the key Sustainable Development Goals to guide innovative responses and enhanced adaptation methods for coping with climate change. Contributions are based on 'Capacity Building for Managing Climate Change in Malawi' (CABMACC), a five-year program with an overall goal to improve livelihoods and food security through innovative responses and enhanced capacity of adaptation to climate change. Readers will discover more about sustainable crop production, climate smart agriculture, on-farm energy supply from biogas and the potential of soil carbon sequestration in crop-livestock systems.
Imagine a world where vehicles drive themselves, roads are free of congestion, and air quality has improved dramatically. This book takes you on a fascinating journey into the future of transportation, exploring how autonomous vehicles and sustainable mobility are transforming our lives and our planet. Discover how technology is revolutionizing the transportation industry, from cars that communicate with each other to take more efficient routes to solutions that reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. But it's not all plain sailing; the book also addresses the ethical and social challenges that arise with these advances, such as security, data privacy and the impact on employment. As we move into this new era, it is crucial that we consider both the opportunities and the risks. This book is a call to action to innovate and collaborate in creating a safer, more efficient and sustainable transportation system for all.
This publication contains the proceedings of a consultative workshop, held in Bangkok, Thailand in April-May 2002, to discuss a range of issues relating to protein needs and supply for the animal feed industry including: scientific aspects of protein nutrition of farm animals; local protein resources and supplementation for livestock production; the agricultural alternatives for the production of increased supplies of protein feeds from oilseeds, legumes and by-products; and innovative developments in the production and delivery of protein raw materials; present and future trends, problems and perceptions of feed safety and developments in the feed industry.
Silage has always been an integral component of temperate feeding systems worldwide, as a means to ensure year-round feed supply for high production animals. However, its use in the tropics has been restricted to isolated cases, usually involving higher-return enterprises and, in particular, the dairy industry. What are the reasons for its apparent lack of application in the tropics? The paper "Silage making in the tropics with particular emphasis on smallholders" documents the proceedings of an electronic conference that examined both this question and the various aspects of silage making in the tropics. Specifically, it reviewed the potential for use of tropical silage for livestock production, with special reference to the smallholder situation.

Este libro te lleva a un viaje fascinante hacia el futuro del transporte, explorando cómo los vehículos autónomos y la movilidad sostenible están transformando nuestras vidas y nuestro planeta. Descubre cómo la tecnología está revolucionando la industria del transporte, desde coches que se comunican entre sí para tomar rutas más eficientes hasta soluciones que reducen nuestra dependencia de los combustibles fósiles. Pero no todo es tan sencillo; el libro también aborda los desafíos éticos y sociales que surgen con estos avances, como la seguridad, la privacidad de los datos y el impacto en el empleo. A medida que nos adentramos en esta nueva era, es crucial que consideremos tanto las oportunidades como los riesgos. Este libro es una llamada a la acción para innovar y colaborar en la creación de un sistema de transporte más seguro, eficiente y sostenible para todos.
El ensilaje ha sido siempre un componente integral de los sistemas de alimentacion del ganado en las zonas templadas del mundo y se ha utilizado para asegurar el suministro de piensos durante todo el ano con el fin de alcanzar una mayor produccion de los animales. Sin embargo su uso en los tropicos se ha limitado a casos aislados, generalmente involucrando empresas de alto redito, especialmente la industria lechera. Cuales son las razones de su aparente falta de aplicacion en los tropicos? Esta publicacion contiene las memorias de una conferencia electronica que examino este asunto y varios aspectos del ensilaje en los tropicos. Concretamente se revisa el uso potencial del ensilaje tropical para la produccion de ganado, con referencia especifica a la situacion de los productores en pequena escala."
