欧盟"多功能农业"探析

自20世纪90年代以来,“多功能农业”越来越引起世界的关注,欧共体/欧盟在“多功能农业”的发展过程中扮演着重要的角色,它积极支持、广泛推广这一新型的农业模式。本文在说明“多功能农业”的提出过程、内涵、具体措施的基础上,分析欧共体/欧盟提出“多功能农业”的原因。     

山西省农业产业结构分析

采用纵向与横向相结合的研究方法,分析了山西农业产业结构。认为目前山西农业产业结构不尽合理,与发达省份存在较大差距。需要采取提高产品竞争力、强化市场意识、推进农业产业化经营、调整种植业内部结构、加强农业基础设施建设等措施,以促进山西农业产业结构的优化。     

如何建立社区支持农业中的消费者信任——惠州四季分享有机农场的个案研究

信任对 CSA 经济的可持续至关重要。 文章基于信任建立过程和信任发展的阶段性理论,通过单案例的研究方法探讨如何构建社区支持农业中的消费者信任。 研究结果表明:消费者信任的建立分为初始信任与持续信任两个阶段。 在潜在消费者的初始信任阶段,直接或间接关系、公开的信息、农 场主特征和消费体验会引发消费者的计算过程、转移过程、预测过程、意图过程和能力过程而建立消费 者初始信任。 在会员的持续信任阶段,用户体验和社会联系会引发消费者的预测过程和意图过程而维 持会员对农场的信任。     

Social impacts evaluation and insider-outsider paradigm: Floodwater spreading project on the Gareh-Bygone plain as an illustrative case

Selection of the appropriate social impact evaluation approach has become an important issue in agricultural and rural development projects in developing countries. The aim of this research was to use the lens of insider-outsider or mutual social impact assessment approach to assess the social impacts of floodwater spreading project (FWSP) on the Gareh-Bygone plain, Iran. A survey methodology with systematic sampling techniques was used to select 138 households as insider group in four villages’ of the Gareh-Bygone plain which is covered by FWSP. Furthermore, key person interview was used to assess the viewpoints of experts (outsider group) who had close, ongoing involvement with the project. Result indicated that the experts’ viewpoints were more positive towards social impacts of the project. Whereas, the project had some negative and positive social impacts from the local people point of view.     

Fostering CHANGE: Lessons from implementing a multi-country,multi-sector nutrition-sensitive agriculture project

Using agriculture to improve nutrition is an approach growing in popularity, with programs becoming increasingly complex and multisectoral. While there is an active line of research assessing the impacts of such programs, little has been written about the process of successfully implementing them. As such, this paper uses a multisectoral nutrition-sensitive agriculture program implemented in four African countries as a case study to address key challenges in and lessons learned from implementation. We highlight the overall flexibility of nutrition-sensitive agriculture but also the need to adapt certain aspects to the particular context, as well as the opportunities for cross-context learning (and the limits to this). Integrating rigorous evaluation into such complex programs and forging diverse cross-sectoral partnerships offer both rewards and challenges, upon which we reflect. Main lessons learned from the program include the importance of carefully sequencing interventions, retaining flexibility in implementation, allowing for considerable time for cross-sector integration and coordination, and considering community impacts when designing research.     

21世纪中国学界辽金经济史研究回顾与展望

辽金经济史一直是学者研究的重点,21世纪以来学界在辽金农业概况、发展原因、土地制度,畜牧业结构,货币种类、税收制度及贸易几个方面研究深入,取得了丰硕的成果。但对区域农业特点、土地买卖及粮食供给、辽金农业思想史等问题缺乏深入研究。     

Planning an integrated agriculture and health program and designing its evaluation: Experience from Western Kenya

Multi-sectoral programs that involve stakeholders in agriculture, nutrition and health care are essential for responding to nutrition problems such as vitamin A deficiency among pregnant and lactating women and their infants in many poor areas of lower income countries. Yet planning such multi-sectoral programs and designing appropriate evaluations, to respond to different disciplinary cultures of evidence, remain a challenge. We describe the context, program development process, and evaluation design of the Mama SASHA project (Sweetpotato Action for Security and Health in Africa) which promoted production and consumption of a bio-fortified, orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP). In planning the program we drew upon information from needs assessments, stakeholder consultations, and a first round of the implementation evaluation of a pilot project. The multi-disciplinary team worked with partner organizations to develop a program theory of change and an impact pathway which identified aspects of the program that would be monitored and established evaluation methods. Responding to the growing demand for greater rigour in impact evaluations, we carried out quasi-experimental allocation by health facility catchment area, repeat village surveys for assessment of change in intervention and control areas, and longitudinal tracking of individual mother-child pairs. Mid-course corrections in program implementation were informed by program monitoring, regular feedback from implementers and partners’ meetings. To assess economic efficiency and provide evidence for scaling we collected data on resources used and project expenses. Managing the multi-sectoral program and the mixed methods evaluation involved bargaining and trade-offs that were deemed essential to respond to the array of stakeholders, program funders and disciplines involved.     

国立西北农学院的合组经过与历史意义——基于历史档案的考察和述评

基于抗战时期的历史档案,梳理了国立西北农学院(西北农林科技大学前身)合组成立的历史经过。地处后稷教民稼穑之地武功的国立西北农林专科学校与抗日战争期间西迁的国立北平大学农学院合组是现代农业文明的一次重要融汇。在强大的师资力量支撑下,国立西北农学院办学水平和科学研究方面表现卓越,成为当时国内惟一的独立农学院,并在合组后逐步形成扎根西北、融汇世界的教育思想和办学抱负,成为当代兴学强国的宝贵精神财富。     

“入世”后我国农业参与国际市场竞争需要的支持

我国是农产品生产和消费大国,同时又是蔬菜、茶叶、水果、花卉以及部分畜产品出口贸易占一定优势的国家。"入世"后增强农业的国际竞争力是党和政府高度关注的问题。本文通过与美国、欧盟、日本等西方发达国家横向比较的方式,着重论述了"入世"后我国政府应在技术、协会、补贴等方面加大对我国农业扶持力度的重要性。     

中国加入世贸组织后的农业剩余劳动力问题探索

中国入世后，农业现代化进程的加快、社会主义市场经济体制的日益健全必将使农业所需劳动力出现锐减趋势。而对即将出现的新的农业剩余劳动力如何安排他们重新就业，适当分流，是亟待研究的重大社会问题。为此，笔者提出一些建设性意见。
