(e) Crop production

The projects focus mainly on fisheries, poultry production, nutrition, crop production, forestry and livestock raising.

Iran estimates its crop losses by comparing the actual production of each crop in each of the affected provinces during 1991 with the expected production of those crops, based on a statistical analysis of crop yields over a period of 11 years from 1986 to 1996.

For the fifth consecutive year, rain shortfalls resulted in crop failure and poor livestock production.

The number of farmers reached by such schemes in illicit crop production areas is still insufficient.

Involving African women in decision making about crop production turns out to enable environmentally sustainable farming practices.

The livelihood component includes learning processes concerning skills development involving existing alternative sources of income such as abaca fibre production, handicraft making and cash crop production.

These are places where water is so scarce year after year that crop production is marginal at best.

Meanwhile, the benefits of GM crop cultivation include higher yields, lower use of chemical pesticides, and biofuel production.

These systems in turn produced crop yields that could sustain much higher population densities than competing methods of food production.

These conditions render the rural population vulnerable to the influence of drug trafficking and increase dependence on illicit crop production.

Likewise, food scarcity is a growing problem for Asian countries, with crop yields and overall food production growing more slowly than demand.

Overview The wild relatives of crop plants constitute an increasingly important resource for improving agricultural production and for maintaining sustainable agro ecosystems.

The symposium, held in Brussels, looked at the future of the rice crop in terms of improving its production and enhancing nutrition

For each crop, Iran calculates the compensation sought by multiplying the decrease in production in 1991, which it considers to be the result of Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait, by the market price of that crop.

Annual crop residues (including pressed seedcake) can be burned throughout the year in local electricity generation plants, thereby smoothing out the production income cycle.

Rural Pakistani women are not only responsible for time and energy consuming household tasks but are also major contributors to the rural economy particularly in three sub sectors crop production, livestock production and cottage industry.

The threats to sustaining such systems, such as monoculture cash crop production, mineral extraction, environmental contamination and genetically modified seeds and technology, should be addressed.

What they want are implements to increase their production something to fertilize the soil, something to protect their crop and to bring it to a market.

Not only would this reduce hunger by increasing food production and lowering food prices it would also protect biodiversity, because higher crop productivity would mean less deforestation.

Iran estimates the alleged reduction in crop quality by comparing crop prices in the Southern Provinces in 1991 with national crop prices.

These include crop rotation, increased crop diversification, and introducing integrated pest management systems.

The effects are unpredictable but likely to be huge, in terms of crop production, diseases, costs and availability of irrigation and drinking water, coastal erosion, and so forth

Women had succeeded in breaking into male dominated cash crop production, and had benefited from the opportunities brought by community radio stations and multimedia telecommunications centres in rural areas.

GIEWS has been providing regular bulletins on food crop production and markets at the global level and situation reports on a regional and country by country basis since 1975.

Protection of the environment is a high priority, as illicit crop cultivation and illicit drug production result in environmental degradation and the safe disposal of seized chemical substances is essential.

The Panel, therefore, finds that Saudi Arabia has not provided sufficient evidence either to establish the nature and extent of the losses incurred by Shadco due to the reduction of crop production, or to demonstrate a link between crop damage at Shadco's farms and Iraq's invasion and occupation of Kuwait.

18. Invites States to sustain and increase international cooperation and, where needed, technical assistance to countries implementing policies and programmes against drug production, including illicit crop eradication and alternative development programmes

Although alcohol was banned in Islam, the Jewish and Christian communities were allowed to maintain wine production and grapes, a major cash crop in the city, were exported mainly to Egypt.

However, GHG emissions are generated in sugar cane production (because of the use of the fertilizers and burning at harvest) and in transporting the crop from the field to the plant.

Production of paddy rice, the main staple crop, has increased by 20 per cent over the past two years but has reached only 50 per cent of the pre war level.

Crop eradication and alternative development

Crop Environment Resources Synthesis model.

Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) is a software system that integrates crop growth models with crop, weather and soil data and estimates potential changes in crop yields and water use.

The old tool for managing farmers risks is crop insurance, which responds directly to the failure of a crop.

This is why private crop insurers are in short supply, and why crop insurance often requires expensive government subsidies.

The winds destroyed much of the corn crop, about half of the peach crop, and about 1.5 million bushels of apples.

The tomato crop is of good quality.

The oilseed crop comprises three essential parts.
