Meeting future food needs without compromising environmental integrity is a central challenge for agriculture globally but especially for the Asia Pacific region – where 60% of the global population, including some of the world’s poorest, live on only 30% of the land mass. To guarantee the food security of this and other regions, growers worldwide are rapidly adopting genetically modified (GM) crops as the forerunner to protect against many biotic and abiotic stresses. Asia Pacific countries play an important role in this, with India, China and Pakistan appearing in the top 10 countries with acreage of GM crops, primarily devoted to Bt cotton. Genetically Modified Crops in Asia Pacific d...
This book aims to identify, present and discuss key driving forces and pressures on ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are the contributions that ecosystems provide to human well-being. The scope of this atlas is on identifying solutions and lessons to be applied across science, policy and practice. The atlas will address different components of ecosystem services, assess risks and vulnerabilities, and outline governance and management opportunities. The atlas will therefore attract a wide audience, both from policy and practice and from different scientific disciplines. The emphasis will be on ecosystems in Europe, as the available data on service provision is best developed for this region and recognizes the strengths of the contributing authors. Ecosystems of regions outside Europe will be covered where possible.

Pangan merupakan kebutuhan dasar manusia paling utama. Namun kecukupan pangan dari produksi dalam negeri hampir belum pernah tercapai secara meyakinkan. Sebagai upaya mewujudkan kedaulatan dan ketahanan pangan, Kementerian Pertanian menjabarkan melalui kebijakan pembangunan pertanian dalam program “Swasembada Padi, Jagung dan Kedelai“ dan menggandeng perguruan tinggi mitra antara lain UGM untuk menerjunkan dosen dan alumni/mahasiswa selama 6 bulan (2015) atau 3 bulan (2016 dan 2017) di Jawa Tengah dan DIY. Kegiatan Pendampingan Mahasiswa dalam Upaya Khusus Peningkatan Produksi Padi, Jagung dan Kedelai (UPSUS PAJALE) adalah salah satu kegiatan Kementerian Pertanian untuk mewujudka...
