    Current U.S. farm programs make payments to farmers based in part on historical base acres planted in particular program crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat and soybeans. Eligibility for payments includes regulations on the crops allowed to be grown on base acres, and there are restrictions on planting horticultural crops on such base acres. The fruits and planting restriction on base acres has potentially influenced the number of acres planted to fruits and vegetables over the past two decades.

    El seguro agrícola es un instrumento eficaz en la gestión de riesgos rurales. Paradójicamente, su uso por los agricultores es relativamente bajo en la mayor parte del mundo. Una notable excepción son los Estados Unidos de América, país donde tiene éxito. El proceso, sin embargo, fue lento, muy costoso y con la participación del Estado. Así, los países que deseen incorporar este instrumento entre las prioridades de su política agrícola, como parece ser el caso de Brasil, deben tomar en cuenta los requisitos necesarios para tener éxito, y los problemas que genera.

    Herbicides account for approximately 2.2% of total farm expenses and are applied to more than80% of farmland in the USA. The widespread adoption of herbicides contributed to the increasedand relatively cheaper productivity of modern intensively managed agricultural systems indeveloped countries. The present study uses a hedonic framework to analyze the effect ofselected attributes on the price of corn and soybean herbicides.

    There is a trend to acquire high accuracy land-cover maps using multi-source classification methods, most of which are based on data fusion, especially pixel- or feature-level fusions. A probabilistic graphical model (PGM) approach is proposed in this research for 30 m resolution land-cover mapping with multi-temporal Landsat and MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data. Independent classifiers were applied to two single-date Landsat 8 scenes and the MODIS time-series data, respectively, for probability estimation. A PGM was created for each pixel in Landsat 8 data.

    Mangroves are valuable socio-ecological ecosystems that provide vital goods and services to millions of people, including wood, a renewable natural capital, which is the primary source of energy and construction material for several coastal communities in developing countries. Unfortunately, mangrove loss and degradation occur at alarming rates. Regardless of the protection and close monitoring of mangrove ecosystems in Mexico during the last two decades, mangrove degradation and the loss of biodiversity is still ongoing.

    Agricultura para el desarrollo es el resultado de un proceso de análisis y consulta realizado por Oxfam Internacional entre finales de 2007 y la primera mitad de 2008, antes de que el impacto de la crisis financiera se hiciera sentir a lo largo de todo el mundo en desarrollo. Se publica ante un escenario de futuro lleno de inestabilidad e incertidumbre, donde la percepción de riesgo es elevada, pero también la de estar ante una oportunidad única de generar el cambio político que conlleve a un nuevo equilibrio mundial.
