摘要:

A soundly conceived and well executed programme of multi‐disciplinary research has allowed the evolution of modern locust control on a sound scientific basis. What is still required, if further disaster is to be avoided, is the exploitation of those results by carefully recruited cadres of anti‐locust personnel in those countries where locusts are important, both to the countries themselves and to the countries likely to receive those locusts if not properly control

摘要:

The 1978–1979 drought in Bangladesh affected three crop seasons, reducing rice production by an estimated two million tons. Rainfall deficiency varied regionally and locally, and drought effects varied with soils, crops and management. Farmers used new practices such as irrigation of crops normally grown rainfed, cultivation of famine millets, and – when rain eventually fell – transplanting crops that normally are direct seeded (including replanting to fill gaps in drought‐affected fields). Crop rotations also were adjusted to compensate for crop losses or late planting and to take advantage of reduced flood‐levels or changed market prices. The various and location‐specific responses by farmers provide useful lessons for planners and administrators in a disaster‐prone country: production plans and programmes must be flexible; relevant environmental factors, crop areas sown and crop condition must be closely monitored and the implications promptly assessed; and the farmers' repertoire of disaster‐mitigating practices should be recorded so as to provide a basis for more pragmatic research, extension and development programmes. A method for monitoring and assessing rainfa

摘要:

The severe drought of 1973–1975 in Somalia had major impacts on pastoral populations, many of whom moved into specially established camps where food, water and medical assistance were provided by the government and international agencies. At the end of the drought it was decided to settle the remaining 120,000 people in six settlements, three of which were agricultural and three oriented towards fishing. This paper analyzes these settlements, with particular attention paid to agricultural systems, organization and socioeconomic characteristics. Some of the problems facing the settlements included their location, administrative structure and relative overemphasis on social services as opposed to development of production and income generating activities. It is shown that the socioeconomic viability of settlements would be enhanced if careful studies were undertaken beforehand and if a diversified development strategy were employe

摘要:

Tropical cyclones and hurricanes have a severe impact on the social and economic activities of affected communities. For small island nations in the Pacific region, the effects can be devastating because of their smallness. FQi and several other countries in the region are vulnerable to such disasters as they are situated in the zone where cyclones occur frequently.During the last decade, the frequency of natural disasters and their adverse impact on die economic and social development of small nations like Fiji, has aroused awareness mat relief efforts must go beyond immediate “mopping up” operations to those which contribute to attaining longer term benefits through reconstruction and rehabilitation.The paper outlines the 1985 agricultural rehabilitation program and discusses related issues and probl
