Agronomy & crop productionAugust 1997Intensive Sugarcane Production
Meeting the challenges beyond 2000
by Edited by Brian A Keating, John R Wilson
Increasing competition in the world sugar industry, combined with the need to maintain the resource base and minimise negative impacts on the environment, mean that sugar industries around the world face many complex problems. These challenges are shared by many other intensive cropping industries. However, advances in crop physiology, biotechnology, management systems, systems analysis and modelling and economics and policy initiatives offer great opportunities for these industries to meet these challenges. This book appraises the current situation and set the agenda for sustainable sugarcane production into the future. The book has been developed from papers presented at the Sugar 2000 symposium held in Brisbane, Australia, in August 1996. All the elements of successful intensive crop production are discussed. These include the biological, climatic, economic and social aspects which must be taken into account and judiciously managed. Topics addressed include new gene technologies and their potential value for sugarcane, along with using knowledge of crop physiology to bring about high levels of yield. Other issues considered include the economics of resource use, such as irrigation, and the impact of sugarcane production on the environment. The book is essential reading for all research scientists working with sugarcane, including plant breeders, physiologists, agronomists and food technologists. It also provides general agronomists with a model system for intensive crop production that will be relevant to other sustainable cropping systems. It is also relevant to economists, regulatory authorities, and commodity traders.

2021Sugar
Sweet knowledge for practice
by Reinhild Berger
A sweet treat is tempting, but the lurking dangers should not be underestimated. However, it is just as wrong to demonise all types of sugar in general as to avoid it altogether. In this entertaining mini reference book, Reinhild Berger takes the reader on an interesting journey through the labyrinth of sugar, sugar substitutes and sweeteners and gets to the bottom of many questions in the process: How much is too much? What alternatives are there, and which are advisable? How can one select the right one from the deceptive variety in the supermarket? What is the right way to read the food labels on the packaging? What knowledge does one need to be protected against misleading advertisements? - Learn how to recognise differences between the many types of sugar - Read where dangers lie, and which sugar does us good – and in what quantity - Understand how to interpret nutritional values – and that “no artificial sweetener ” does not mean “sugar-free” Welcome to the promising world of the sweet taste!

Agronomy & crop productionNovember 2004Environmental Impacts of Sugar Production
by Oliver Cheesman
Pressure from conservationists and increasing regulation, means that environmental considerations are increasingly important for the sugar industry. This book examines the environmental impacts of the sugar industry in relation to the cultivation of sugar crops (cane and beet) and the processing of the raw materials that they yield. These include soil erosion, loss of natural habits leading to a reduction in biodiversity, excessive water consumption, water and air pollution, and runoff and leaching of nutrients. Whilst some of these impacts are essentially generic impacts of agriculture, others, such as those relating to irrigation, are more specific to the cultivation of sugar crops. The book also investigates the utilization of waste materials from sugar production, and explores methods of reducing the environmental impacts of sugar production and processing.

September 2019Conga Line on the Amazon
by David Myles Robinson
David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

Ella comparte sus relatos, desde los perros salvajes del desierto, Baba la hiena criada por cuidadores, Ricky el curiosísimo mapache, Shusha el zorro y hasta Um Fathi, la bruja del poblado árabe local, a través de los cuales permite aprehender la esencia de la lucha y la fortaleza. Cada uno de estos increíbles personajes nos enseña algo acerca de lo que significa ser humano.

Who's gonna cook this food?
women, housework and healthy diet
by Bela Gil
Today, after decades of scientific research and questioning of the fast-food industry, we know that ultra-processed foods are major promoters of chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as contributing to the destruction of nature, since they are based on monocultures of commodities such as soy, wheat, corn and sugar cane. We also know that home cooking with fresh or minimally processed ingredients is the best option for nourishing the body, strengthening regional cultures and respecting the environment. But, as Bela Gil asks in her new book, who is going to make this food? Based on this question, the chef, presenter and activist links healthy eating, feminism and domestic work, complexifying a debate ignored by cookbooks and cooking shows. Is it the housewife, the mother, the grandmother, the wife, the migrant domestic worker, the poor black woman from the periphery who will continue to have to man the stove? And who will make her food, her family's food? In Who's going to make this food?, Bela Gil criticizes the historical devaluation of the act of cooking, which has its roots in slavery, and calls for the payment of wages for domestic work, a theme of the work of thinkers such as Silvia Federici. “Is it right that, for a few to have fresh food and be healthy and free to pursue their dreams, many others have to make do with ultra-processed products that are bad for the body and the planet - and that's when they don't go hungry?”

Limnology (freshwater)September 2003Soil Fertility Decline in the Tropics
With Case Studies on Plantations
by Alfred E Hartemink
Wide coverage of soils and perennial cropping systems in the tropicsSynthesis of decades of researchChallenges assumptions on the benefits of plantations for soil fertilityIt is generally assumed that soil fertility decline is widespread in the tropics and that this is largely associated with annual cropping and subsistence farming. In contrast, perennial plant cover (as in plantation agriculture) provides better protection for the soil.This book reviews these concepts, focusing on soil chemical changes under different land-use systems in the tropics. These include perennial crops, annual crops and forest plantations. Two case studies, on sisal plantations in Tanzania and sugar cane in Papua New Guinea, are presented for detailed analysis. The author demonstrates that soil fertility decline is also a problem on plantations.
