In Uruguay, agroecology has become more popular but is still marginal, despite the existence of a national plan (Law 19717) that promotes it. The implementation of agroecology needs a knowledge generation system to support it; however, research on agroecological transition processes is still incipient. The objective of this work is to improve the knowledge of the family livestock farmers’ decision-making processes through the study of socio-productive practices, and consequently contribute to actions and public policies closer to farmers. The practices highlighted in this work allowed a typology elaboration that represents the possible pathways through which family livestock farmers move towards agroecology.

Main materials; yogurt or Kurut, wheat flour or cracked wheat, chickpeas, lentils, garlic, tomatoes, mint, red pepper, green pepper, salt and butter. If desired, sour plum, cranberry fruit, tarhana herb, dried meat and sugar beet, onion, garlic, tomato paste, hot pepper can also be added. It is widely believed that it takes its name from the word ‘Darhane in Turkish’, that is, weak economic power. Tarhana; it is the oldest and well-known soup in Turkish cuisine. There is no region or town in Turkey that does not produce and consume Tarhana. It is a flavored soup with a high nutritive rate and energy, prepared by drying, with a long shelf life. Its material is easily available and serviceable. With these features, it had been a reason for preference among nomadic Turks and has been made developed over time. The spice in Tarhana has an antiseptic and relaxing effect. It is a protein-rich, balanced and healthy food. Those who live in cold climates, rural areas and nomadic life; The slightly spicy one is an ideal food for the elderly and the sick. Southeastern Anatolia region prefers spicy. Tarhana is known throughout the Ottoman geography. It is known and loved in a wide geography such as Anatolia, the Balkans, North Africa and Central Asia. How it is prepared; It varies according to the possibilities, climate, culture of the geography where it is produced and the skill of the person who prepared it. There are varieties such as Sour Tarhana, Sweet Tarhana, Flour Tarhana, Göce Tarhana, Tooth Tarhana, Cranberry Tarhana, Red and White Tarhana. Red Tarhana, Göce Tarhana, Tooth Tarhana and Flour Tarhana are the most common.

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of rainfall variability on agricultural production in Jakiri Sub-Division of the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Previous studies on the impact of climate on agriculture focused on stakeholder signatures to climate change adaptation to the agrarian sector of the Bui Plateau, which revealed that despites glaring consequences of climate, the Jakiri Council only allocates only 1% of its annual budget for climate action. Data sources for this study included the administration of 211 questionnaires to cover the three agro-ecological zones of Jakiri Sub-Division, rainfall data collected from UNVDA Ndop (lowland zone), National Meteorological Service (mid-altitude zone) and the Oku Wildlife Sanctuary (highland zone). The Rainfall Anomaly Index (RAI) was used in analysing rainfall data. Results revealed that rainfall is reducing as depicted by the increasing trends in RAI. Farmers also perceived that food crop production has been decreasing. Despite these perceptions, some crops like cassava that is drought tolerant has been increasing. Again, rice production at the Wahsi-Ber Plain has been increasing. This calls for the development and production of more drought tolerant food crops to ensure sustainable rural livelihoods.","PeriodicalId":354003,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts & Developments in Agronomy","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125537706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work was carried out with the objective of eliminating the contamination of these effluents located in some sugar mills as: “Carlos Baliño”, “George Washington” and “Melanio Hernández”. The effluents were taken in the central region of Cuba (Santo Domingo, Manacas, Villa Clara and Tuinicú, Sancti Spíritus). The effluents were proven to passing through by the slow sand filter in cascades before different investigated treatments. The effluents were diluted in distilled water in the different proportions: T1 (10%), T2 (25%), T3 (50%), T4 (75%), T5 and T6 (not diluted). In the effluents, they were determined: their physical-chemical and microbiological characteristics, previous and later to passing through by the slow sand filters. In most of the effluents, so much their physical-chemical properties, like as the microbial load a remarkable reduction was obtained; obtaining values which are in accordance with the Cuban norms [1-3]. The slow sand filtration has been broadly used as method to improve the quality of the water in different regions of the planet, due to its simplicity in the operation and to its numerous advantages. It has been demonstrated that the slow sand filters have worked in a successful way in areas so much urban as rural around the world, many of which subsist in a precarious way, allowing improvements as regards public health and in the quality of the inhabitants’ life of these areas, even in it has been evidenced their good operation and the positive impact that generate this type of technologies. In recent investigations [4-10], it has been evaluated the method of slow sand filtration like alternative to obtain not very aggressive effluents of oxidation lagoons to the environment with local materials diminishing costs and offering an alternative before the current conditions of these effluents, which are poured to the means with high value of contamination. Some of these studies, they have referred to the implementation a slow sand filters systems to laboratory scale with the purpose of improving the effluents of oxidation lagoons, and later on to measure certain parameters of the effluents and to compare them with the Cuban norm [1] of residual water and [2] for the use of the residual of the sugar cane industry for to irrigate the sugar cane. In the investigations indexed previously, it has been able to verify that the slow sand filters were a good alternative to improve the quality of the biodigesters effluents, obtaining high percentages of removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), total solids (TS), fecal coliform, total coliform and pseudomonas aeruginosas in recent investigations.

The search for new raw materials rich in nutrients and present in Brazilian biodiversity is a new challenge, considering that in the current menu, only 30 species are food sources for 95% of the world’s population. It is expected that new advances in research and new cultivation technologies favor the agriculture of new species with potential use as food and input for the pharmaceutical industry. In this context, we consider that the Dioscorea genus with more than 150 native species, and with some species cultivated and used in food, can be better explored as new matrices rich in nutrients for consumption and as an input for the pharmaceutical industry. The cultivation of Dioscorea species, today is developed with outdated technologies and practiced by small farmers and consequently difficult to maintain production and a delicate harvest requiring new research and technologies to increase productivity and in post-harvest operations. Objective: this review aims to provide data on native species of Dioscorea , as a possible ally in the search for efficiency in the agricultural sector, food safety and source of inputs for the pharmaceutical industry. Methodology: it was based on data from scientific publications (2000 and 2020) collected in scientific databases using the keywords: Dioscoreaceae, Dioscorea ; “igname”; “yam” and “cará”. Result: Dioscorea species native to Brazil have chemical diversity, richness of nutrients and other metabolites, justifying their potential use in food and input for the pharmaceutical industry and other possible applications, as we have shown. Conclusion: New research approaches and new technologies applied to the study of native species in Brazil can generate knowledge in fighting hunger and in the search for target molecules that can be commercially exploited, promoting innovation in all sectors and environmental preservation as well as sustainable use.","PeriodicalId":354003,"journal":{"name":"Modern Concepts & Developments in Agronomy","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130690287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
