Food security in oman
This document discusses food security in Oman, including its current position and prospects. Globally, food prices have risen significantly since 2007 due to increased demand from population growth and dietary changes in China and India, as well as the use of crops for biofuels. While Oman was historically self-sufficient in food, it now relies heavily on imports due to a growing population and limited suitable land. The document examines prospects for increasing wheat and fish production domestically, as well as the important role of the government in ensuring food security through buffer stocks, import monitoring, and investments in agriculture.
National development and political promises
This document summarizes the evolution of the meaning of economic development from the 1950s to the 2000s based on lectures from an agricultural economic development course. It shows how the definition has expanded over time from a narrow focus on economic growth to incorporate broader concepts such as equitable distribution of income, meeting basic human needs, political and social rights, environmental sustainability, and human freedom. Key aspects of development are now seen as promoting economic growth, reducing inequality, enhancing quality of life, respecting rights, ensuring intergenerational equity, and empowering individuals through participation in the development process.
Economic framework to guide research priorities
1) Agricultural research involves investing scarce resources (costs) to generate knowledge that increases future agricultural productivity and contributes to economic and social objectives (benefits).
2) An economic guideline for prioritizing agricultural research is that the benefits of the research must outweigh the costs.
3) Socio-economic objectives like efficiency, equity, and security can provide the basis for research prioritization according to criteria like increased income, fair income distribution, and reduced income variability.

A globalization and education
Globalization has led to significant changes in education through increased capitalism, technology, and cultural blending. Capitalism and the free market have commoditized education and increased competition and specialization. Information technology has made education more effective by using multimedia and allowing online/distance learning, but has also increased demands for new technical skills. Globalization is homogenizing languages and demanding multilingual skills, while also leading to a cultural "curry" or blend. Education must recognize and accommodate this cultural diversity to promote social cohesion and peace in an interconnected world.
Principles of economics
The document outlines the proposed course outline for an introductory economics course. It covers the following key topics in 3 sentences or less:
- What is economics, including human nature, scarcity of resources, and decision making.
- Different economic systems like markets and centrally planned economies.
- The evolution of markets through specialization, comparative advantage, invention of money, and information technology enabling trade and price signals to guide resource allocation.
Pharmaceutical presentation final
1. The document examines the potential for pharmaceutical prospecting to finance forest biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka. It reviews past studies that estimate the willingness to pay for pharmaceutical prospecting and finds values ranging from pennies to $9,000 per hectare per year.
2. An empirical case study of the Knuckles forest estimates different willingness to pay values for pharmaceutical prospecting based on varying parameters. Several estimates exceed the opportunity cost of agricultural land use, supporting the hypothesis that pharmaceutical prospecting could incentivize conservation.
3. While the potential exists, significant challenges remain around establishing benefit-sharing legislation and appropriating pharmaceutical benefits to realize the potential of prospecting for biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka. Broad public consultation
Food security as a public good
Oman imports nearly 95% of its cereal requirements and is therefore vulnerable to food price volatility. The paper examines prospects for cultivating wheat domestically in Oman to help assure food security. Analysis shows that wheat cultivation would not be viable under current market prices but could be competitive if the gross margin was increased by more than 414 Omani Rials per hectare, such as through subsidies similar to those used successfully in Saudi Arabia. Maintaining domestic wheat production capacity is argued to produce the public good of strategic food security for the nation.
Worl food day presentation 2012 november 13 food security in oman
This document discusses food security in Oman, including its global and domestic positions. Globally, food prices have risen significantly in recent years due to various demand and supply factors. Oman was historically mostly self-sufficient in food but now imports over 50% of its needs. The government of Oman plays an important role in ensuring food security through improving local production efficiency, adopting food assistance programs, and diversifying food imports. In the short term, Oman secured additional food imports to address rising domestic food prices. Long term, the government aims to enhance agriculture education, research and investments to boost domestic production capacity and food security prospects.
Kota university day presentation
This document summarizes a study on the impact of rising food prices on household food security in Oman. It finds that:
1) Food prices in Oman increased substantially between 2003-2008, with the cost of the nutritionally adequate diet rising over 30% in that period.
2) Measures of food insecurity, such as the food security headcount and gap, revealed that rising prices decreased food security in Oman in the short-run.
3) However, in the long-run food security has improved due to increased incomes and a more equal distribution of income, according to the study's decomposition analysis. Continued pro-poor economic policies are recommended to further strengthen food security.
Financing watershed
This document proposes a conceptual framework for a national policy on financing watershed management in Sri Lanka. It discusses several key points, including the need to consider both demand and supply of financing at each node of the water cycle. Currently, watershed management in Sri Lanka is underfunded and heavily reliant on intermittent foreign financing. The framework argues for securing national financing and allocating public funds earmarked for watershed management from the central government to provincial authorities. Generating provincial-level financing mechanisms and improving efficiency are also recommended.
Sl embassy presentation biodiversity
Sri Lanka has exceptionally high levels of biodiversity relative to its small land area, with high numbers of endemic plant and animal species. This biodiversity contributes significantly to Sri Lanka's status as a global biodiversity hotspot. Conserving biodiversity is important for sustainable development and for potential financial benefits through bioprospecting of plants for pharmaceuticals and other uses. Estimates suggest pharmaceutical prospecting could generate $50-800 per hectare annually for biodiversity conservation in Sri Lanka if the country formally appropriates benefits from such activities.
Food waste in oman environment day 2013
This document discusses food waste in Oman at various levels of the food system. It finds that:
1) Overall food waste in Oman is moderate at 5.5% of total supply, lower than the global average of 33%, though waste is higher for certain foods like fruits.
2) Household food waste in Oman is estimated to be high at 35% of food served. Young children and adolescents waste over half the food they are served.
3) Omanis on average consume 121% of recommended daily energy and 192% of protein intake, indicating overconsumption and potential waste.
4) Proactive activities by the Department of Natural Resources include conferences, curriculum development, and student
Hemesiri world env day 2012
1. The document discusses water management approaches in Oman, comparing the visible failures in groundwater management to the past invisible successes in surface water (aflaj) management.
2. It analyzes the economic root causes of the problems, finding that the success of aflaj was due to strong socio-economic institutions that managed the "tragedy of the commons," while groundwater failures resulted from a lack of institutions to do the same.
3. Key differences that led to success with aflaj included well-defined and enforced property rights, local leadership, trust between users, and users' dependence on the sustainable management of the small and predictable resource system.
Tsunami education
This document discusses natural disasters like tsunamis and their management through education. It provides recommendations from a Presidential Task Force on disaster management in Sri Lanka, including increasing public awareness and incorporating disaster education into school curriculums. It argues that while the causes of natural disasters are natural, their impacts depend on human vulnerability and resilience, which can be increased through preparedness. Preparedness involves both technological solutions like early warning systems but also educating people to recognize signs of disasters using their senses, as demonstrated by a 10-year old girl who recognized a tsunami was coming based on what she learned in school. The document advocates for disaster education as a way to help communities save themselves.
Presentation foreign remittance and economic development
This document discusses foreign remittance and its role in economic development. It notes that remittances to Sri Lanka exceed foreign direct investment by 2-3 times and account for 7% of GDP. While remittances have helped reduce poverty and supported consumption, their development impact remains ambiguous as most funds are spent on consumption rather than investment. The document advocates policies to encourage productive migration, formalize remittance channels, and mobilize remittances towards investments in small businesses and infrastructure through instruments like Sri Lanka's Nation Building Bonds. With effective policies, remittances could significantly contribute to Sri Lanka's development across different dimensions.
Removal of perverse economic incentives to conserve biodiversity
This document discusses removing perverse economic incentives that contribute to biodiversity loss. It defines a perverse incentive as a policy or practice that encourages environmentally harmful resource use. Some examples of perverse incentives are environmentally harmful subsidies and laws that allow externalities. The document recommends identifying perverse incentives through strategic environmental assessments, designing reforms like removing or replacing incentives, and enforcing reforms through regulation while compensating those affected. Monitoring and evaluation of reforms is also key. The overall goal is to reform policies and practices that provide unintended incentives for biodiversity degradation.
Pharmaceutical presentation final
This is a presentation done based on potentials of pharmaceutical prospecting to finance biodiversity conservation.
Economic aspects of biodiversity valuation and mainstreaming
A presentation done to multidisciplinary group of scientists and public officials in preparation of a national biodiversity conserve action plan in Sri Lanka. It is on the role of biodiversity valuation on improving planning and decision making.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
