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.
Agri-Labs Information Systems LIMS Software for labs that test soil, water, feeds forage, compost, plant tissue and manure. Internet reporting as well as fax, email and printed reports. For agriculture, environment and industrial labs. http://www.agri-labs.us/
Extractions: If you haven't looked at this LIMS software for agricultural, industrial and environmental labs recently, you owe it to yourself to take another look! For many, Y2K was "much ado about nothing," so in retrospect many laboratories are loathe to invest in change to their infrastructure without significant proof that it's a recoverable expense. Assuming that all commercially available LIMS are equally accurate, vendors must convince labs by a general improvement in productivity in the short-term and an overall boost in flexibility and scalability in the long run, that substitution is an economically viable option. That's a fair enough consideration for any potential customer to ask of any LIMS vendor. Desert Oasis addresses the fears some potential users may have of replacing pre-existing known software 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.

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.

Indigenous Agriculture Indigenous agricultural and environmental knowledge gained global recognition throughthe United Nations Conference on environment and Development (UNCED) in http://www.ciesin.org/TG/AG/iksys.html
Extractions: CIESIN Thematic Guides Indigenous knowledge is local knowledge unique to a given culture or society. Indigenous agricultural and environmental knowledge gained global recognition through the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992, and documents such as the World Conservation Strategy (International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) 1980) and Brundtland Commission's Our Common Future (World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) 1987). Indigenous knowledge is an immensely valuable resource that provides humankind with insights on how communities have interacted with their changing environment. Indigenous knowledge systems have never been systematically recorded in written form and therefore are not readily accessible to agricultural researchers, development practitioners, and policy makers. Warren (1991) provides a detailed overview of indigenous knowledge systems in "Using Indigenous Knowledge in Agricultural Development."
