      Capacity Building in Fisheries and Aquaculture

      by Bimal P Mohanty, Archana Sinha, Shahaji Phand, Sushrirekha Das, Yasmeen Basade

      India is primarily an agricultural economy, with approximately 55% of the total workforce engaged in agriculture and related activities (Census 2011). The agricultural sector, including horticulture, aqua-culture, and fisheries, is essential for enhancing agricultural productivity and ensuring food security. Therefore, it is crucial to empower farmers with the necessary skills, knowledge, training, and mass awareness programs. This approach, known as capacity building (CB), can help alleviate hunger and malnutrition, ultimately contributing to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2: Zero Hunger by 2030. This book aims to present and highlight a selection of capacity building programs sponsored by national and international organizations, such as ICAR, NFDB (National Fisheries Development Board under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, and Dairy), MANAGE (National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management), World Fish, USAID (United States Agency for International Development), and other institutional mechanisms

      La hermandad de la Casa Grande (The brotherhood of the Big House)

      Una novela negra sobre el juicio del Estado a los brujos de Chiloé (A detective novel about the state's trial of the witches of Chiloé)

      by Eduardo Pérez Arroyo

      It's 1879. To the north, Chile defends foreign investment in the Pacific War. To the south, beyond the already invaded Araucania, from a large, almost unexplored island, rumors of violence, superstition and a state incapable of enforcing its law spread. The elite would be at ease if some “elements” that are not occupied at the border with Peru penetrated Chiloé. They need evidence to condemn those criminals who terrorize the population with old indigenous beliefs. They call themselves witches. They are organized as La Recta Provincia or La Hermandad de la Casa Grande. They lie to scare and change the names of the cities on the island –Achao, Dalcahue or Quicaví–, confusing them with others: Buenos Aires, Villarrica, Salamanca. If they were only myths, it would be enough for the government to forget that secret place. But the one who calls himself the Greatest Liar in the World claims to have escaped the sorcerers and travels the north glimpsing the aliens: he talks to them of malice, monsters and murders; of the bloody clans' struggles to become a decaying reign. For these lies, or to secure an unstable national pride, coronels and tenants decide to put an end to things that a mortal has no power to finish.

      Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet

      by Abdallah Al-Zioud

      Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.
