journalism in India. This increases the significance of The Green Pen, edited by Keya Acharya and Frederick Noronha from Sage.

It also gives us an understanding of the varied kinds of difficulties and ironies that environmental journalists face on a daily basis. Reputed journalist and former editor Darryl D’Monte, in his foreword, talks of how things were in the seventies and eighties, and how things have changed. Though India has surmounted numerous environmental problems, media has still got to give it the importance it deserves. The environmental beat is not seen as glamorous and most newspapers and magazines do not have a single specialist journalist in this area. The end result is half-baked, poor, and sketchy reporting on environmental issues that has little or no research worth the name, while analysis and interpretation is a far cry. Ultimately, most of the time, environmental journalism ends up with statements of some activists, and quotes from the powers that be refuting the charges. Journalists Keya Acharya and Frederick Noronha have managed to get a battery of reputed writers like Pallava Bagla, Kunda Dixit, Richard Mahapatra, Max Martin, Meena Menon, Sunita Narain, Nandan Saxena, Devinder Sharma, and Kalpana Sharma to write on crucial issues that force us to think. For example, Devinder Sharma argues how the media is no more the fourth estate. He talks of the inequalities that no more outrage the elite, such as how a bunch of rich and bold people defaulted on paying back Rs 160,000 crore to the nationalized banks and got away. On other hand, a mentally deranged beggar was arrested and jailed in Delhi as he picked up a bottle of toned milk and did not pay for it. He died a week later in jail. India’s hungry and malnourished population count would be more than the combined population of the European Union. Shree Padre, an activist, farmer and journalist rolled into one, who prides in calling himself a ‘water journalist’, details the water crisis and what could be done to mitigate it. He underlines how water activism is a must for all of us as none of us would be able to survive without it. Padre details interesting media campaigns in Karnataka, Kerala, and Rajasthan where the public was made aware of water issues with a series of positive stories. It caught the imagination of the readers who moved into water conservation soon after. Sunita Narain talks of how floods happen and how we can manage them. She calls today’s floods a double tragedy of mismanagement of land and water combined with science and data mismanagement, and how this mismanagement is criminal. Keya Acharya talks about how little the gatekeepers in media houses know about environmental issues and how he had to fight his way through to make them understand the seriou
印度新闻业。这增加了《绿笔》的重要性,这本书由Sage出版社的Keya Acharya和Frederick Noronha编辑。它收录了来自印度和南亚活跃的环境记者撰写的一系列有趣的文章,对困扰该地区的各种紧迫问题提供了广泛而深入的视角。它也让我们了解到环境记者每天面临的各种困难和讽刺。著名记者和前编辑Darryl D 'Monte在他的前言中谈到了七八十年代的情况,以及情况是如何变化的。尽管印度已经克服了许多环境问题,媒体仍然应该给予它应有的重视。环境方面的报道并不引人注目,大多数报纸和杂志在这个领域都没有专门的记者。最终的结果是对环境问题的半生不熟、拙劣和粗略的报道,几乎没有名副其实的研究,而分析和解释则相去甚远。最终,大多数时候,环境新闻以一些活动家的声明和反驳指控的权力的引用而告终。记者Keya Acharya和Frederick Noronha设法找到了一批著名作家,如Pallava Bagla, Kunda Dixit, Richard Mahapatra, Max Martin, Meena Menon, Sunita Narain, Nandan Saxena, Devinder Sharma和Kalpana Sharma,他们写了一些迫使我们思考的关键问题。例如,Devinder Sharma认为媒体不再是第四阶层。他谈到了不再激怒精英阶层的不平等,比如一群富有而大胆的人如何拖欠向国有化银行偿还16万亿卢比的债务并逃脱了。另一方面,一名精神错乱的乞丐在德里被捕并入狱,因为他拿起一瓶调色牛奶却没有付钱。一周后,他在监狱中去世。印度的饥饿和营养不良人口数量将超过欧盟的人口总和。Shree Padre是一名活动家、农民和记者,他以自称为“水记者”而自豪,他详细介绍了水危机以及可以采取哪些措施来缓解这一危机。他强调,水资源行动主义对我们所有人来说都是必须的,因为没有它,我们任何人都无法生存。Padre详细介绍了卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦和拉贾斯坦邦的有趣媒体活动,通过一系列积极的故事让公众意识到水问题。它引起了不久后投身节水事业的读者的想象。苏尼塔·纳拉因谈到洪水是如何发生的,以及我们如何管理它们。她把今天的洪水称为土地和水资源管理不善与科学和数据管理不善的双重悲剧,以及这种管理不善是如何犯罪的。Keya Acharya谈到媒体公司的看门人对环境问题知之甚少,他必须努力让他们了解问题的严重性并发表。可悲的是,即使是现在,情况也没有太大的不同。如果有争议,就会成为新闻,电视频道想要的是一场斗争,以及由此引发的争论。我记得《今日头条》(Headlines Today)的一位制片人曾打电话给我,问我如何确保就气候变化展开一场激烈的辩论。他还想知道那些观点不同、彼此憎恨的人的名字,这样他们就会“打架”。书评《绿笔》

The Energy Services Delivery Project (ESDP) in Sri Lanka was an exemplary renewable energy access programme. Consisting of a Credit Component, a Wind Farm Component and a Capacity Building Component, the $55.3 million ESDP successfully installed 21,000 offgrid Solar Home Systems (SHS), 31 megawatts (MW) of grid-connected mini-hydro capacity, 574 kilowatts (kW) of offgrid village hydroelectric systems serving 2,897 households, and a 3 MW grid-connected wind farm from 1997 to 2002. By the end of 2004, two years after the ESDP’s close, the Sri Lankan renewable energy industry boasted more than 40 mini-hydro developers, 10 registered solar companies, 22 registered village hydro developers and 12 village hydro equipment suppliers compared to less than three of each before the ESDP began. This study explores the dynamics of the ESDP, investigates its structure, benefits, challenges and broader implications.

The present study makes an attempt to analyse the structure of India's trade in agricultural products and its possible implications on resource adjustments and food security. As per the ‘Smooth Adjustment Hypothesis’ (SAH), trade integration as a consequence of Intra Industry Trade (the simultaneous export and import of goods from the same industry) would not lead to significant adjustment costs that take place with the displacement of resources from comparatively disadvantaged industries to export oriented industries, as in the case with inter industry trade patterns. If a country is experiencing an increase in inter-industry trade, the changes in exports and imports would be unmatched and as a result the resources will be reallocated from the contracting sectors to the expanding ones. The analysis of marginal intra-industry trade (MIIT) - a dynamic measure of intra industry trade - for selected agricultural and processed food products showed that the products mainly exhibits inter industry trade structure. The study also noted an emergence of new pattern of demand on tropical agricultural products in developed countries. The shift in cropping pattern from traditional to high valued crops that we see in this paper might be due to this shift in global demand. This shift in global demand was also reflected in the expansion of the exports of non-food crops from India to world market. The trade pattern in the form of inter-industry trade in general and the expansion of the exports of high valued crops and processed food products in particular might pose serious implications on the resource adjustments as well as food security.

The demand and supply projections of foodgrain are vital for agricultural policy parameters to ensure future supply–demand balances. Several studies have forecasted foodgrain demand and supply using varied assumptions. Given the sensitivity of these estimates to the assumptions used, there are wide variations in the projections made by various researchers and inferences about the status of food security in the country. The paper synthesizes the empirical evidence on demand and supply projections of foodgrains at 2020 and concludes that the supply–demand balance would not be very comfortable in the country in the near future.

Livestock sector is an important component of the both, Indian and Iranian economy. Due to highly protected livestock markets in the developed countries and rapidly increasing demand for livestock products and inputs in Asian countries, these nations are preferred destinations of livestock products’ trade. This study identifies the potential livestock products and inputs based on Iranian and Indian trade data. The potential of Indian exports to Iran lies in the meat of bovine animals, especially frozen and boneless and also fresh and chilled boneless meat, skimmed milk powder, butter and fat-based products, bird's egg in shell, carded or combed fine animal hair, combed wool in fragments and wool tops, and vaccines for veterinary medicine. The Iranian exports to India can be enhanced in raw skins of sheep or lamb with or without wool on, tanned or crust hides and skins of bovine or equine animals, in wet or dry state, tanned or crust hides and skins of sheep and lambs without wool in wet or dry state, greasy wool and degreased wool not carded or combed.

This study undertakes a survey using a random sample of 2083 households in rural Madhya Pradesh, India, to estimate benefits of improved electricity supply to rural households. The survey estimated that the Willingness to Pay (WTP) for a household for improved service is 340 per month, on average. Results of this study support similar investments in other states of India with similar electricity services and socio-economic characteristics. Simulations using the estimated WTP function show possibility of progressive tariff increase as household income increases. Block and flat tariff show similar impacts on revenue generation but block tariffs have the ability to induce energy conservation at household level. This study casts doubts about the need for subsidies for below poverty line and scheduled caste households.

Indonesia is the largest and widest archipelago in the world with a coastline length of 81,000 km alongwith 17,508 islands, which makes it one of the most vulnerable countries to climatic changes. This paper focusses on the climatic changes in Indonesia with special reference to Riau and East Kalimantan. It is based on secondary literature and examines the effects of greenhouse emissions, deforestation, changes in land use, etc. on environment, biodiversity, and livelihood options of the people living there. Finally, the article explores the national/governmental efforts and the international assistance provided to help Indonesia deal better with climate change adaptation. The future priority areas of intervention would be decentralized risk reduction initiatives and resource conservation, educating farmers and vulnerable communities, coastal area research, local interventions, and coordination between the provinces.
