A Estratégia de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (ESAN II) resulta da evolução da

ESAN I aprovada pelo Governo de Moçambique em 1998, através da Resolução Interna

16/98. A ESAN I foi elaborada na sequência da Cimeira Mundial de Alimentação

(CMA), realizada em Roma em 1996, quando os diversos países se comprometeram a

reduzir a fome para metade até 2015. Este objectivo coincide com o Objectivo número

um do Desenvolvimento do Milénio (ODM), aprovado na Cimeira do Milénio, em 2000.

This paper presents such a stocktaking
of land reform and farm restructuring in four countries
(Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, and Moldova) that have
had particular difficulties with land reform, farm
restructuring, farm performance, or rural poverty. It is
organized by case studies, each of which is designed to
analyze a central conundrum about land reform and farm
restructuring in an individual country. Much of the

Este artigo estuda a procura do turismo em espaço rural (TER) em Portugal, tomando como referência dados recolhidos no território continental e, particularmente, em três aldeias. Conclui-se que a procura é composta por citadinos de classe média que se deslocam para o campo a fim de romper com o quotidiano e de obter uma experiência revigorante. O campo é para estes citadinos uma espécie de paraíso na terra, que integra muitas virtudes que se crêem inexistentes nos meios urbanos, como a tranquilidade, a natureza, a tradição e a autenticidade.

En este ensayo se analizan los principales enfoques sobre la pobreza con sus diversas orientaciones e implicaciones para las políticas públicas. Se argumenta que la pobreza se produce y reproduce a través de ciertas relaciones económicas, sociales, políticas y culturales existentes a nivel local, nacional y global. Para superar la pobreza y la desigualdad es necesario cambiar tales relaciones sistémicas a través de reformas significativas en todos estos niveles.

Malawi, like other countries in Africa, has a new land policy designed to clarify and formalise customary tenure. The country is poor with a high population density, highly dependent on agriculture, and the research sites are matrilineal-matrilocal, and near urban centres. But the case raises issues relevant to land tenure reform elsewhere: the role of ‘traditional authorities’ or chiefs vis-a-vis the state and ‘community’; variability in types of ‘customary’ tenure; and deepening inequality within rural populations.

The World Social Forum in Nairobi in January 2007 was a timely New Year rallying event for Kenyans to revisit the fundamental principles for building a democratic and sustainable society as we prepare for December 2007 elections.The current organizing principles of the institutions that govern us in Kenya are narrow and serve the few at the expense of the many millions of Kenyans that live in abject poverty. Yet, from all corners of the country it is acknowledged that it is within our collective ability to create a healthy and sustainable society that serves and work for all

Through this Land Update, KLA appreciates that for the first time in the history of Kenya a comprehensive Draft National Land Policy has been formulated.We therefore urge all Kenyans and the general public to read, debate and contribute to the finalization of the National Land Policy. This is because the final National Land Policy will provide the basis for the review and harmonization of the existing laws and enacting of new ones to facilitate the achievement of the objectives set out in the overall national development policy framework, Kenya Vision 2030

O presente artigo procura examinar a equação “povo-ruralidade” no quadro da transição democrática portuguesa, tomando como corpo empírico as Campanhas de Dinamização Cultural e Acção Cívica do Movimento das Forças Armadas (1974-1975). Procurando contrariar a versão folclórica do país promovida pelo Estado Novo, os protagonistas desta iniciativa constroem um campo discursivo paradoxal, onde se entretecem conceitos como cultura, tradição, subdesenvolvimento, descentralização e cidadania

The main objective of our research was to assess the social needs for the forest roles and propose how forest could further contribute to the sustainable development of the Upper Gorenjska region. The sustainability of hitherto development was assessed with the aid of a model, in which environmental, social and economic indicators were included. On the basis of advantages and disadvantages, social needs for the forest roles became evident, which were in continuation compared with the existing forest role.
