Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access book examines the central role of rice in Guinea-Bissau, where per capita consumption is estimated at 100 120 kg per year and rice provides more than half of both caloric and protein intake. It explores how this high dependence shapes livelihoods, food systems, and social practices, while situating current conditions within a longer-term transformation of the sector. Over the past fifty years, Guinea-Bissau has shifted from a net exporter to a net importer, now relying on more than 60,000 tons of milled rice annually. Rice also functions as a medium of exchange, including within the cashew sector.Rice is produced in three ecosystems: rainfed uplands, lowlands, and mangrove swamps. Mangrove cultivation relies on reclaimed coastal land protected by dykes, which regulate seawater entry and support soil desalinization. Seasonal saline inundation contributes to nutrient supply, weed control, and soil management, although water regulation remains limited.This book examines interventions to support mangrove rice systems, including varietal improvement based on local biodiversity, farmer-managed seed systems, and enhanced hydraulic design through a basin-level approach. It also addresses efforts to improve milling efficiency while preserving nutritional value.Drawing on contributions from multiple institutions, the volume presents results from initiatives supported by the European Union and situates technical developments within the broader socio-economic and cultural context of rice in Guinea-Bissau.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Climate change is dramatically affecting freshwater supplies, particularly in the developing world. The papers in this volume present a powerful case for and exploration of different freshwater adaptation strategies in the face of global climatic change. The volume centres on six detailed case studies, from India, China, Mexico, Brazil, the lower Danube basin and Tanzania, written by experienced local academics and practitioners. They assess autonomous adaptation in the freshwater sector, drawing out key lessons about what motivated these societies to change, which factors led to more successful adaptation, and how interventions may best be sustained. The volume also contains a global overview of the lessons derived from these experiences. It sheds light on two key theories: that vulnerability to climate change is best reduced by reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development first, or by reducing bio-physical risks from climate change. The publication also highlights the need to ensure that access to more precise climate change impact data is not used as an excuse to delay implementation of no regrets adaptation measures.…
