Book Description
The book lays emphasis on rural reconstruction which is the need of the date as 76 per cent of India's population dwells in rural areas. For the sustainable development we should integrate both science and spritualism. Natural and human resources are swiftly depleting due to lack of proper planning and non-cooperation amongst the scientists, society and NGO's.

Forests and Rural Development
Author: Jürgen Pretzsch
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642414044
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 405
Book Description
This book provides an overview of the complex challenges and opportunities related to forest-based rural development in the tropics and subtropics. Applying a socio-ecological perspective, the book traces the changing paradigms of forestry in rural development throughout history, summarizes the major aspects of the rural development challenge in forest areas and documents innovative approaches in fields such as land utilization, technology and organizational development, rural advisory services, financing mechanisms, participative planning and forest governance. It brings together scholars and practitioners dealing with the topics from various theoretical and practical angles. Calling for an approach that carefully balances market forces with government intervention, the book shows that forests in rural areas have the potential to provide a solid foundation for a green global economy.

Ecosystem Restoration for People, Nature and Climate
Author: United Nations Publications
Publisher: UN
ISBN: 9789211587470
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This report presents the case for why we all must throw our weight behind a global restoration effort. Drawing on the latest scientific evidence, it explains the crucial role played by ecosystems from forests and farmland to rivers and oceans, and charts the losses that result from our poor stewardship of the planet. While restoration science is a youthful discipline, we already have the knowledge and tools we need to halt degradation and restore ecosystems. Farmers, for instance, can draw on proven restorative practices such as sustainable farming and agroforestry. Landscape approaches that give all stakeholders - including women and minorities - a say in decision-making are simultaneously supporting social and economic development and ecosystem health. And policy makers and financial institutions are realizing the huge need and potential for green investment.

Forest Landscape Restoration
Author: John Stanturf
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400753268
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Restoration ecology, as a scientific discipline, developed from practitioners’ efforts to restore degraded land, with interest also coming from applied ecologists attracted by the potential for restoration projects to apply and/or test developing theories on ecosystem development. Since then, forest landscape restoration (FLR) has emerged as a practical approach to forest restoration particularly in developing countries, where an approach which is both large-scale and focuses on meeting human needs is required. Yet despite increased investigation into both the biological and social aspects of FLR, there has so far been little success in systematically integrating these two complementary strands. Bringing experts in landscape studies, natural resource management and forest restoration, together with those experienced in conflict management, environmental economics and urban studies, this book bridges that gap to define the nature and potential of FLR as a truly multidisciplinary approach to a global environmental problem. The book will provide a valuable reference to graduate students and researchers interested in ecological restoration, forest ecology and management, as well as to professionals in environmental restoration, natural resource management, conservation, and environmental policy.

Book Description
43 videnskabelige artikler fra et fællesnordisk projekt omkring indflydelsen af beskovning på økosystemer, landskab og regional udvikling. Projektet sammenligner skov, landskab og samfund i forskellige nordiske lande som har lignende samfundsstruktur, men er på meget forskellige niveauer med hensyn til beskovning og brug af skoven. I Danmark, Norge og Sverige har man arbejdet systematisk med at opbygge skovressourcerne igen, hvorimod man på Island og Færøerne kun lige er begyndt at planlægge arbejdet

Strategies in Agroecology for Sustainable Rural Development in Ecoregions of Araucaria Forest and Natural Grasslands
Author:
Publisher: Matheus Cavalher Solano Rossi
ISBN: 658624224X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Strategies in Agroecology describes a sustainable rural development model for the Araucaria Forest and Natural Grasslands Ecoregions of southern Brazil, outlining a series of context-adapted ecological agroecosystems and social technologies supported by a farming cooperative network. Ultimately aimed at professionals looking for innovative sustainable and socially just alternatives to the mainstream model of agriculture, this richly illustrated guide offers creative insights of how thriving ecological rural communities (ecovillages) can be designed through the use of interdisciplinary tools integrating regenerative crop systems (agroforestry/silvopasture), landscape design, architecture, social organization, and environmental conservation as part of the same dynamic equation.
