China, the Health Sector
Author: Dean T. Jamison
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This review of China's health sector begins by noting China's achievements in population control, health status, and nutrition. The policies, sources of financing, and resource use that have contributed to China's successes are cited, and the evolution of several influences on health from outside the sector are discussed, including nutritional improvements, greater access to clean water and sanitary waste disposal, and fertility reduction. Two major challenges now face China's health sector: (i) extending the methods that have been successful to areas where mortality rates and deaths due to infectious diseases remain high; and (ii) developing and implementing approaches to management of chronic disease that combine prevention, low-cost treatment, rehabilitation, and humane care. Major innovation will be essential because resources are limited and plans for meeting the health needs of the population are ambitious. Institutions capable of innovation, experimentation, and analysis of public health problems must be developed. The report includes discussion of specific issues in the sector.

Innovation in Resource Management
Author: L. Richard Meyers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
The theme of the 1989 agricultural symposium was " innovation in resource management ". It directs attention to the importance of technological and institutional innovation with which to conserve, as well as to increase, the productivity of the natural resource base on which agricultural development depends. In a period when many areas of the world are under pressure to increase agricultural production and/or are subject to increased ecological stress, innovation is urgently required to respond to these challenges. The symposium revolved around discussion groups on natural resource management ( water resource management, watershed management and soil conservation, the use of ground water, land tenure and productivity ), biotechnology, and livestock and cropping system interactions.

Integrating Food into Urban Planning
Author: Yves Cabannes
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 178735377X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
The integration of food into urban planning is a crucial and emerging topic. Urban planners, alongside the local and regional authorities that have traditionally been less engaged in food-related issues, are now asked to take a central and active part in understanding how food is produced, processed, packaged, transported, marketed, consumed, disposed of and recycled in our cities. While there is a growing body of literature on the topic, the issue of planning cities in such a way they will increase food security and nutrition, not only for the affluent sections of society but primarily for the poor, is much less discussed, and much less informed by practices. This volume, a collaboration between the Bartlett Development Planning Unit at UCL and the Food Agricultural Organisation, aims to fill this gap by putting more than 20 city-based experiences in perspective, including studies from Toronto, New York City, Portland and Providence in North America; Milan in Europe and Cape Town in Africa; Belo Horizonte and Lima in South America; and, in Asia, Bangkok and Tokyo. By studying and comparing cities of different sizes, from both the Global North and South, in developed and developing regions, the contributors collectively argue for the importance and circulation of global knowledge rooted in local food planning practices, programmes and policies.
