The developing world has made substantial progress in reducing hunger since 2000. The 2016 Global Hunger Index (GHI) shows that the level of hunger in developing countries as a group has fallen by 29 percent. Yet this progress has been uneven, and great disparities in hunger continue to exist at the regional, national, and subnational levels.

Land Use Policy Volume 59
Publication évaluée par des pairsdécembre, 2016Brésil, Trinité-et-Tobago, États-Unis d'AmériqueWe propose a causal analysis framework to increase understanding of land-use change (LUC) and the reliability of LUC models. This health-sciences-inspired framework can be applied to determine probable causes of LUC in the context of bioenergy. Calculations of net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for LUC associated with biofuel production are critical in determining whether a fuel qualifies as a biofuel or advanced biofuel category under regional (EU), national (US, UK), and state (California) regulations.

Land Use Policy Volume 57
Publication évaluée par des pairsnovembre, 2016Italie, PanamaCase studies of social-ecological landscapes that consider local, spatially explicit land cover changes are necessary for the development of generalised knowledge on deforestation. This study focussed on two indigenous territories of eastern Panama that share the same settlement history, size and location but are perceived by local dwellers to differ in terms of land cover.

Na representação da realidade, as implicações que o real traz para a ficção vão além da mera imitação. Na Literatura, o modo como se representa a realidade expressa, usualmente, a cosmovisão de uma determinada época. Isso é perceptível no modo realista de composição ficcional, que atinge seu ápice na segunda metade do século XIX, quando “o romance realista autêntico tem assumido a herança da tragédia clássica” (AUERBACH, 2011, p. 446).

Options for Improved Water Pricing
Rapports et recherchesArticles et Livresjuin, 2016Mali, AfriqueLarge-scale agricultural land investments in Africa are often considered solely from the land perspective. Yet land, water and other natural resources are closely interlinked in agricultural production and in sustaining rural livelihoods. Such investments involving irrigation will potentially have implications for water availability and utilization by other users, making it imperative to regard water as an economic rather than a free good.

Land Use Policy Volume 58
Publication évaluée par des pairsdécembre, 2016Nouvelle-ZélandeAs the global population continues to increase, rural areas are expected to accommodate future growth at the same time as continuing to feed growing populations. This tension is greatest on those who farm land that is earmarked for future urban growth. Yet, little is known about the attitudes and values of the affected rural farming communities or farmers’ perceptions of the challenges and opportunities that population growth presents.

Land Use Policy Volume 57
Publication évaluée par des pairsnovembre, 2016États-Unis d'AmériqueFarmland ownership fragmentation is one of the important drivers of land-use changes. It is a process that in its extreme form can essentially limit land management sustainability. Based on a typology of land degradation and its causes, this process is here classified for the first time as an underlying cause which through tenure insecurity causes land degradation in five types (water erosion, wind erosion, soil compaction, reduction of organic matter, and nutrient depletion).
