    In Lesotho, some externally financed agricultural development projects have appeared particularly prone to failure.

    natural resources management

    World fishery landing statistics as disseminated by FAO have been completely revised for the period 1950-1969 and time series in the database have been extended backwards by 20 years so that the period covered is now 1950-1994. Through a preliminary analysis of trends, globally and by oceans, we attempt to demonstrate that these extended time series can be very useful in interpreting developments in the world’s fisheries and so help in assessing the present situation as well as for planning and policy-making for the future.

    La principale thèse de cet ouvrage est la structure des filières de commercialisation des vivres en Afrique subsaharienne qui, en fait, ne dépend que de deux facteurs, à savoir les caractéristiques de l’aliment en question et le niveau de développement du pays. Dans les pays africains, comme partout dans le monde, un système de commercialisation des produits vivriers comprend un circuit informel et un circuit formel. L’importance de chacun de ces deux circuits diffère généralement selon le niveau de développement économique du pays.

    Los principales defensores del aprovechamiento del bosque admiten la necesidad de tomar en consideracin la conservacin. Incluso los ms acendrados grupos ecologistas reconocen que los programas de conservacin encaminados a preservar los bosques deben incluir algunas actividades de aprovechamiento. La cuestin que hay que dilucidar es si se deben conservar los bosques y qu grado de utilizacin se ha de aceptar, o si, partiendo del supuesto de que se necesita utilizar los bosques y hacerlo de manera sostenible, qu grado de conservacin se ha de garantizar.
