    Even though a large majority of poor households are engaged in agriculture, per capita productivity and real levels of sectoral growth remain low in Madagascar. Approximately 80 percent of the population are engaged in agriculture, which provides the main source of income for households, albeit at subsistence levels. Cultivation practices are based on extensification strategies with implications for Madagascar’s fragile natural resource base, rather than improving the productivity of existing farms and land use.

    To meet carbon emissions targets, more than 30 countries have committed to boosting production of renewable resources from biological materials andconvert them into products such as food, animal feedand bioenergy. In a post-fossil-fuel world, an increasingproportion of chemicals, plastics, textiles, fuels and electricity will have to come from biomass, which takesup land. To maintain current consumption trends theworld will also need to produce 50–70 percent more foodby 2050, increasingly under drought conditions and onpoor soils.

    Parks and protected areas are valuable
    assets to developing nations, whether viewed as
    environmental, economic or social goods. Nevertheless, to
    date there are few examples where the full potential
    economic rent of protected areas has been captured
    efficiently or distributed effectively. This severely limits
    the capacity of developing nations to sustain their natural
    resources. In Sub-Saharan Africa the crisis is acute,

    mid 1980s, to prod economic and financial liberalization,
    contributing to steady GDP growth rates, manufacturing
    production however, still represents a relatively small
    share of value added. And, the development of
    import-substituting (IS) firms has been considerably slower,
