Summing Up: Policy and Investment Priorities for Agriculture and the Rural Economy in Pakistan --Authors --IndexHistorically, agriculture has been crucial to Pakistan's economic growth and development and remains so even today. The sector employs almost half of the country's labor force, supplies key inputs to the country's manufacturing sector, generates a significant share of export earnings, and nourishes a rapidly growing population. Further, beyond agriculture is the wider rural economy, including nonfarm economic activities such as small enterprises, transport services, village retail shops, local schools, and clinics, all of which account for an estimated 40 to 57 percent of total rural household income. Given the importance of these rural activities, the slow growth of agriculture in recent years-averaging just 2.8 percent during the period 2010-2014-should be a source of concern for Pakistan. Can the country's agricultural sector and rural economy once again play a significant role in growth and development? Can it contribute to poverty reduction? Agriculture and the Rural Economy in Pakistan: Issues, Outlooks, and Policy Priorities seeks to answer these questions by examining the performance of both agriculture and the rural economy. The authors identify several measures that can promote agricultural productivity growth as well as wider economic and social development. These include increasing the efficiency of water use in the Indus river basin irrigation system, especially in the face of climate change; reforming policies and regulations that govern markets for agricultural inputs and commodities; and improving the provision of rural public services for health, education, women's empowerment, and community development. The analyses and conclusions in Agriculture and the Rural Economy in Pakistan will be of use to policy makers, development specialists, and others concerned with Pakistan's development.

No solamente por las estadísticas que atraen la atención de todo el mundo y nos obligan a razonar de manera lógico-numérica, cuantitativa, olvidando que muchas veces los números son personas, y no rinden la justa cuenta de todos aquellos seres humanos que representan estas cifras. Una pandemia logra su máxima expresión al alcanzar el mayor número de personas, esto refleja en su etimología proveniente del griego pan (todo) y demos (pueblo) y desde sus orígenes ha significado principalmente una cosa, la “reunión del pueblo”. Dicha noción invita a reflexionar sobre el porqué de las medidas sanitarias, del aislamiento y confinamiento, y, más aún, nos recuerda la importancia de la unión como decisión ancestral al origen de nuestras sociedades, columna portante de la familia, fortaleza de cualquier sistema en desequilibrio. Reconociendo esto, se evidencia la capacidad de transformar juntos las debilidades en fortalezas, de saber demostrar nuestro mejor impulso a la solidaridad y colaboración cuando sentimos que nos necesitan, que permite terminar con alegría un capítulo con la seguridad de que el próximo será mucho mejor. Este espíritu es responsable de la iniciativa de quienes enfrentamos los desafíos del contexto desde la unión, con la aspiración de formar seres humanos en un espacio compartido de generación de conocimiento y conformación de valores humanos y sociales que llamamos Universidad.Science: general issuesbicsscEcuadorEcuadorfastScience: general issuesScience: general issuesSantis-Piras Andrea de1866756Jara-Cobos Victoria1273229Verdugo Sánchez Adriana1273230MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910637772703321Pandemia Desde la Academia4474190UNINA04011nam 22004573 450 991014945340332120230808200328.01-101-88048-1(CKB)3710000000933224(MiAaPQ)EBC5193569(Au-PeEL)EBL5193569(OCoLC)1013885051(BIP)55331563(BIP)55320803(EXLCZ)99371000000093322420210901d2016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFodor's Provence & the French RivieraNew York :Fodor's Travel,2016.©2016.1 online resource (506 pages)Full-color Travel Guide ;v.111-101-87985-8 Intro -- Contents -- Images of Provence and The French Riviera -- Provence and The French Riviera Maps -- Experience Provence and the French Riviera -- Provence Today -- What's Where -- Provence Planner -- Top Attractions -- Top Experiences -- Quintessential Provence -- If You Like -- Great Itineraries -- Provence Festivals -- Nîmes and the Alpilles -- Welcome to Nîmes and the Alpilles -- Nîmes and Around -- The Camargue -- Arles and Around -- The Alpilles -- Avignon and the Vaucluse -- Welcome to Avignon and the Vaucluse -- Avignon -- Haut Vaucluse -- The Sorgue Valley -- The Luberon -- Aix, Marseille, and the Central Coast -- Welcome to Aix, Marseille, and the Central Coast -- Aix-en-Provence -- Marseille -- The Central Coast -- The Western French Riviera -- Welcome to the Western French Riviera -- St-Tropez and the Massif des Maures -- Fréjus, St-Raphaël, and the Estérel Corniche -- The Haut Var and the Gorges du Verdon -- Nice and the Eastern French Riviera -- Welcome to Nice and the Eastern French Riviera -- Cannes -- The Pays Grassois -- Antibes and Nearby -- The Hill Towns: St-Paul-de-Vence and Vence -- Nice -- The Corniches Resorts -- Monaco -- Welcome to Monaco -- Exploring Monaco -- Where to Eat -- Where to Stay -- Nightlife and Performing Arts -- Sports and the Outdoors -- French Vocabulary -- Travel Smart Provence and the French Riviera -- Getting Here and Around -- Essentials -- About Our Writers -- Credits and Copyright.Written by locals, Fodor's travel guides have been offering expert advice for all tastes and budgets for 80 years.
