This volume, derived from a workshop on 'Macroeconomic policies and rural development' held at the ILO in December 1989, assesses the changing role of agriculture in economic development against the background of world economic crisis and the response to it through structural adjustment programmes. Following an introductory chapter which sets the scene, the four studies in the first part of the book deal with the effects of world economic crisis on agrarian development at the global level, as well as in the three major developing regions of the world: Africa, Asia and Latin America. The second part consists of two studies which are concerned with the longer-term issues in relation to agricultural change and economic development. This volume will help to generate fresh perspectives on the role of agriculture in economic development during the crucial decade of the 1990s.

This volume applies interpretive video‑analysis to explore the intersections between the sociology of knowledge and interaction studies. Presenting a series of studies that draw on video‑analytic and videographic approaches to research, it examines the way video data can shed light on connections between social phenomena at the micro‑, meso‑, and macro‑levels, and the access that it grants to the temporality of social reality. With empirical research in fields such as care, consumption, gaming, military, music, science, and violence, the studies in this volume show how the video‑analytic approach provides an empirical basis for progress in social theory and aids the development of the concept of knowledge. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in social theory, the sociology of knowledge, and visual methods in social research.

Markets and the state are usually seen as opposed to each other as instruments of economic development. This important new book attempts to go beyond the state-market debate, which it sees as largely the intellectual legacy of neoclassical economics, and the related pendulum swings of opinion favouring one against the other. Arguing that development can be hindered and fostered by both the state and markets, the contributing authors suggest that the real challenge is not to choose between them but to find ways in which their virtues can be utilized jointly to further the goals of development. The first part provides some general perspectives which critically analyse mainstream neoclassical views on states and markets while also providing some alternative approaches. The contributors to the second part examine state-market interaction in Latin America, South Korea and India.

This contributed book covers forage crops grown in different parts of the world and focuses on the use of biotechnological and genomic techniques for breeding forage crops and their application in these crops.Forage crops are grown specifically to be utilized as feed for livestock and are typically high in nutritional value. They play a crucial role in animal husbandry, providing essential nutrients for the health and productivity of livestock, and are essential for sustainable livestock farming, as they can reduce reliance on purchased feeds and promote efficient nutrient cycling within agricultural systems. They also contribute to soil conservation and can be integrated into crop rotation systems to improve overall farm productivity and resilience. Forage crop research has seen significant advancements in the omics era, which encompasses disciplines such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and others. These technologies have revolutionized the way we understand, breed, and manage forage crops, leading to improvements in yield, quality, and resilience. This book covers the application of genomics, biotechnology, and the digital revolution in most forage crop species. The application of DNA molecular markers in these groups of plants has been elaborated. Further topics include the use of transgenic technology and genome editing in forage crops. The book also discusses the possibility of artificial intelligence application for precise breeding and production of forage crops.This book will serve as an essential resource for work done in recent years on the use of genomics and biotechnological applications for forage crop improvement strategies. Students, scientists, and breeding communities with an interest in forage crop cultivation, breeding, and the application of novel biotechnological approaches for the development of climate-resilient cultivars will find this book useful.
