Mat Zin and Liew Chei Siang -- Micro perspectives, ideas, practices, and challenges / Abdul Rahman Embong -- Concluding remarks / Tham Siew Yean.This book examines the understanding, practices and challenges that Malaysia's higher education institutions face in their efforts to internationalize higher education at their respective institutions. This issue is of great importance to academics, policy-makers and students in institutions of higher learning in Malaysia, given the country's aspiration to become a hub for higher education. Malaysia is considered to be one of the success stories in the developing world in its efforts to internationalize its higher education. In the last decade or so, Malaysia has evolved into an emerging contender for international students, based on its transnational programmes and relative cost advantages. Increasing inflows of international students have changed Malaysia's position in the global arena from a sending to a receiving country as well. The findings in this book show that providers and students alike agree that internationalization is here to stay and that there are huge challenges ahead, while managing internationalization remains a prerogative for both institutions and the country. The lessons garnered from Malaysia's experience will also assist other developing countries that are embarking on the same internationalization journey.Education, HigherMalaysiaEducation and globalizationMalaysiaEducation, HigherEducation and globalization378.595Tham Siew YeanInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies,UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786128503321Internationalizing Higher Education in Malaysia3825504UNINA05975nam 22006735 450 991076029710332120251113192809.03-031-44881-210.1007/978-3-031-44881-2(CKB)28780031800041(MiAaPQ)EBC30965485(Au-PeEL)EBL30965485(DE-He213)978-3-031-44881-2(EXLCZ)992878003180004120231104d2023 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAgricultural Heritage Systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America /by Mauro Agnoletti, Antonio Santoro, Beatrice Fiore, Francesco Piras, Federica Romano, Alessandra Bazzurro1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (380 pages)Environmental History,2211-9027 ;169783031448805 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction -- 1.

Unsustainable farming practices often result in habitat loss, inefficient use of water, soil degradation, pollution, genetic erosion, among other negative impacts on human life, including hunger, low food quality, reduced access to food resources, as well as the abandonment of rural areas. Nevertheless, when agriculture is practiced in a sustainable way, it can contribute to the preservation of many habitats, to the protection of watersheds, to the preservation and improvement of soil health. The use of sustainable and ecological practices is the key feature distinguishing traditional agriculture from intensive one. It may not provide very high yields, but ensures sustainable harvests over time, thanks to time-tested technologies and traditional know-hows and also represent examples of adaptation to harsh environmental conditions. Based on this approach, in 2002, FAO launched the concept of Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) Programme, to identify and safeguard agricultural systems that are ensuring food and livelihood security, while maintaining magnificent landscapes, agricultural biodiversity, traditional knowledge, cultural and social values. This book presents 18 examples of these traditional agriculture systems around the world, with a special focus on Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America, as a result of the “GIAHS Building Capacity” project co-funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) and carried out by the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) of the University of Florence (Italy).Environmental History,2211-9027 ;16Landscape ecologyHuman ecologyHistoryAgricultureForests and forestrySustainabilityLandscape EcologyEnvironmental HistoryAgricultureForestrySustainabilityLandscape ecology.Human ecologyHistory.Agriculture.Forests and forestry.Sustainability.Landscape Ecology.Environmental History.Agriculture.Forestry.Sustainability.630.9Agnoletti Mauro148558MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910760297103321Agricultural Heritage Systems in Europe, Asia, Africa, Central and South America3654628UNINA
