论我国加快农业发展的财政投入政策

我国农业对我国来说不仅是基础行业,解决了几亿人的就业问题,也是我国粮食安全的保障,因此说农业是我国的生命产业。目前我国农业的现状是小农经济普遍,难以应用现代高科技技术,无法形成现代化、产业化;基础设施严重落后,有些地区甚至还是靠天吃饭,一遇到大的自然灾害,就歉收甚至绝收,农业生产极不稳定。因此单靠农业本身积累资金发展是相当困难的必须由国家进行大规模投入。为了实现我国财政对农业投资,促进农业增长方式的转变,本文建议应采取一些有力的措施来加以保障。     

中俄农业台作前景广阔——中俄农业十大互补性探析

中俄两国农业具有广泛的互补性:(1)俄土地资源丰富,中国人均土地资源较少;(2)俄出现人口危机,农业劳动力资源匮乏,中国农业劳动力资源丰富;(3)俄近期是中国农机产品的广阔市场;(4)中国将长期进口俄罗斯钾肥;(5)明日的俄罗斯可能成为中国的粮仓;(6)俄将是中国园艺产品的长期市场;(7)俄是中国传统的茶叶市场;(8)俄将是中国猪肉和禽肉的主要出口市场;(9)中国将是俄罗斯牛肉和乳制品的主要出口市场;(10)中俄双方农业科技各具优势,互补互利,加强合作,可促进两国农业经济共同繁荣。中俄农业有着坚实的合作基础和美好的合作前景。目前中俄农业合作仍然存在一些限制因素,但是只要中俄双方都从战略协作伙伴关系的大局着想,从中俄睦邻世代友好的长远利益着想,这些问题都会在不断合作与理解的过程中逐步得到解决。     

Gender and the State in Rural Chile

Abstract — This paper focuses on SERNAM, the state institution responsible for the incorporation of gender into public policy in Chile, and the actions taken by the state to benefit women employed in the modern agricultural sector. It charts the emergence of the demands for such an institution by the women's movement, and the creation of SERNAM as an integral part of the transition to democracy. In particular, the paper analyses the Programme for the Children of the Temporeras , which is a unique state-led initiative to provide childcare facilities to enable women to enter the seasonal labour market during the summer months. The paper explores the complex relations between gender, the state, capitalist agriculture and patriarchal structures, with the aim of highlighting the sometimes unexpected convergence of interests, and the points of conflict.     

Animal rights is a social justice issue

The literature on social justice, and social justice movements themselves, routinely ignore nonhuman animals as legitimate subjects of social justice. Yet, as with other social justice movements, the contemporary animal liberation movement has as its focus the elimination of institutional and systemic domination and oppression. In this paper, I explicate the philosophical and theoretical foundations of the contemporary animal rights movement, and situate it within the framework of social justice. I argue that those committed to social justice – to minimizing violence, exploitation, domination, objectification, and oppression – are equally obligated to consider the interests of all sentient beings, not only those of human beings.

LETTERS

正It was fascinating for me to read"China’s New Industrial Revolution"by John Ross and"China,Leader of the Third Industrial Revolution?"by Hu Jiangyun.With reference to the textbook Elementary Economic Theory by K.K.Dewett and J.D.Varma,economic development,as opposed to under-development,implies that a country has a highly economic system.It means highly efficient organization both of agriculture and of industry,a highly developed banking and credit system and adequate development of transport and communications.

Since the early 2000s, the governments in ASEAN (the Association of South East Asian Nations) countries have developed ‘good agricultural practices’ (GAP) as public approaches to field-level quality assurance. Besides the primary goals of consumer food safety and quality assurance, these public GAP programs aim to support small-scale farmer inclusion in mainstream markets. This goal represents the antithesis of the prevailing trend that private GAP approaches have tightened integration with resourceful, large-scale producers in global value chains. This paper examines the compatibility of the goals of safety assurance and social justice in a public GAP approach through comparative analysis of Thailand's Q-GAP between two local contexts of fruit production and marketing. The research findings suggest that while the public GAP scheme could draw the participation of a broad cohort of local small-scale producers and serve to certify their production, its impact on changing producers' on-field practices and catalyzing their access to the global market through food safety assurance is limited. The binding factors include the lack of producers' understanding of the principles of the programme, limited additional economic merits for them, and the influence of extra-local market forces that stress economies of size and food quality rather than food safety.
