Book SynopsisForestry in Ireland has never been so contentious. Over the last century the area of Irish woodland has increased tenfold, mostly through the planting of imported conifer species; government policy is to plant more trees to supply industry and to tackle climate change, both urgent priorities. But there has been a backlash from farmers, local communities, environmentalists and EU regulators. The rate of planting has plummeted. And up to one-third of new plantations in Ireland are failed forests that should never have been planted in the first place. How did we end up in this peculiar situation? Island of Woods traces the history of Irish forests over the last 10,000 years. It explains why Ireland lost so much of its forest cover, before a burst of tree-planting over the last few decades. It examines the state of Irish forestry today and sketches a way forward for our woods that balances commercial, environmental and social goals – a vision of a different type of forestry that could transform the Irish landscape and re-establish a genuine tree culture in the country. This engaging examination of Irish woodlands relates historical events to present-day concerns and controversies, drawing out crucial themes that continue to shape the Irish landscape.Trade ReviewA thorough and lucid job -- Michael Vinney * The Irish Times *Praise for Feeding Frenzy ‘A passionately argued book … a compelling argument for radical agricultural reforms’ * Sunday Times *Praise for Feeding Frenzy ‘A highly readable book.

Book SynopsisMaking decisions about the management and conservation of nature is necessarily complex, with many competing pressures on natural systems, opportunities and benefits for different groups of people and a varying, uncertain social and ecological environment. An approach which is narrowly focused on either human development or environmental protection cannot deliver sustainable solutions. This volume provides frameworks for improving the integration of natural resource management with conservation and supporting stronger collaboration between researchers and practitioners in developed and developing countries. Novel approaches are required when ecological and social dynamics are highly interdependent. A structured, participatory, model-based approach to decision-making for biodiversity conservation has been proven to produce real-world change. There are surprisingly few successful case studies, however; some of the best are presented here, from fisheries, pest management and conservation.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisCan private standards bring about more sustainable production practices? Grabs answers this question by combining large-N hypothesis testing with a rich empirical account of sustainability governance in the coffee sectors of Honduras, Colombia and Costa Rica. For consumers, academics and practitioners interested in corporate social responsibility.Trade Review'Is private governance truly improving environmental management and the lives of farmers in developing countries? Every researcher exploring this question will want to read this pathbreaking book, which journeys across coffee farms in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Colombia en route to offering a novel and sophisticated theoretical framework to evaluate the effectiveness of certification, fair-trade labeling, and private sustainability standards.' Peter Dauvergne, Professor of International Relations, University of British Columbia'Janina Grabs presents in her excellent study Selling Sustainability Short? a detailed, comprehensive, and nuanced analysis of the often-lacking effectiveness of coffee certification on the ground, pushing the state of the debate to a new level.' Frank Biermann, Professor of Global Sustainability Governance, Utrecht University'This remarkable and beautifully written book applies novel and highly sophisticated theoretical and methodological approaches to study the effectiveness of voluntary private sustainability standards. Bringing together analysis of standards design, standards interactions, and on-the-ground practices and impacts among coffee growers in Central America, it finds that sustainability standards have often lost their way, failing to create viable alternatives to conventional market systems.' Kenneth W. Abbott, Jack E. Brown Chair in Law Emeritus and Professor of Global Studies, Arizona State University'With its careful examination of coffee farms in three countries and sharp theoretical insights, Selling Sustainability Short significantly raises the bar for research on private regulation. It is brimming with fresh concepts and findings, which show how the mainstreaming of sustainability standards has gone wrong.' Tim Bartley, Professor of Sociology, Washington University in St. Louis, author of Rules without Rights: Land, Labor, and Private Authority in the Global Economy'Janina Grabs provides an excellent practical and theoretical guide for how to effectively manage sustainability certification programs. She offers a rare and illuminating in-depth analysis of the creation and long-term implementation of green certification programs. You will treasure this book if you want to know how green certification can not only help large multinational corporations but also provide economic and environmental benefits to local producers around the world.' Jorge E. Rivera, Professor and Ave Tucker Fellow, Department of Strategic Management & Public Policy, The George Washington University'This book by Janina Grabs on the private governance of coffee production is a path-breaking work that makes numerous contributions to scholarly understanding of regulatory governance. Prior research on private sustainability standards has often struggled to capture either the day-to-day life of farmers and producers at the start of the supply chain, the relationship between market dynamics and certification schemes, or the broader effectiveness of these certification schemes. Grabs's vast data collection and fieldwork efforts across three coffee-producing nations enable her to make important inferences about each of these elements of the private, sustainability standards of coffee production, thereby providing a comprehensive and detailed picture of the coffee industry and its relationship with the physical environment. This book will be of significant interest to scholars across a wide range of disciplines, including those who study environmental policy and regulation, private governance standards or regulation and governance, broadly speaking.' Colin Provost, Associate Professor of Public Policy, University College London'The contested meaning of 'sustainability' is at the center of debates about how to address a growing number of environmental and social crises. In Selling Sustainability Short, Janina Grabs convincingly explains why the proliferation of sustainability standards has watered down the term to a point where it means very little indeed. Provocative, insightful, meticulously researched and deeply critical - this book is required reading for anyone interested in whether market-based approaches to sustainability can work.' Hamish van der Ven, Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science and School of Environment, McGill University'Selling Sustainability Short is one of the most important books on sustainability governance of the past decade, and the best book on coffee I have read in a very long time. Janina Grabs meticulously chronicles how market-driven governance instruments suffer from serious institutional design dilemmas as they seek to mainstream sustainability. She shows that the success of sustainability governance in coffee value chains and beyond derives from the ability of coupling relatively strict standards with support for suppliers to comply with them. Theoretically informed and empirically rich, Selling Sustainability Short is a pearl of a book.' Stefano Ponte, Professor, Department of Management, Society and Communication, Copenhagen Business School, and co-author (with Benoit Daviron) of The Coffee Paradox: Global Markets, Commodity Trade and the Elusive Promise of Development'Once in a generation a book appears that is so impressive in its theoretical rigour, empirical research, and practical importance for the world, that it grabs you and doesn't let go. Grabs has produced just such a tome. She is clearly deeply motivated by a curiosity about whether private governance and corporate social responsibility initiatives might indeed be more 'effective and efficient' than traditional governmental processes in addressing enduring environmental challenges. To answer this question, she spent years in the field generating her own primary quantitative data of decades of 'on the ground' impacts, which she reinforced this research through careful and systematic interviews with officials working at multiple governance levels, to carefully and systematically assesses ecolabeling in the coffee sector. A must read not only for students of the politics and policies of commodities and environment, but for anyone interested in understanding whether, and how, innovative policies might be developed, and championed, to meaningfully promote environmental stewardship in the global era.' Benjamin Cashore, Li Ka Shing Professor in Public Management, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore'… I recommend this great book without any reservation to anyone interested in voluntary business practices toward sustainable goals - in coffee and beyond. It is theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich and is likely to inspire new ideas and conversations about the path toward more labor and environmentally friendly production.' Luc Fransen, Perspectives on PoliticsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. The dilemma of effective private governance; 3. Defining the goal of a sustainable coffee sector; 4. Changing the market; 5. Changing farming practices; 6. Designing effective private institutions; 7. Interacting with public institutions; 8. Conclusions.

Book SynopsisForest management includes a range of human interventions that affect forest ecosystems. These activities include both conservation and economic activities, such as extraction of timber, planting and replanting of various species, cutting roads and pathways through forests, and techniques for preventing or making outbreaks of fire. In developed countries, the environment has increased public awareness of natural resource policy, including forest management. As a direct result, primary concerns regarding forest management have shifted from the extraction of timber to other forest resources including wildlife, watershed management, and recreation. This shift in public values has also caused many in the public to mistrust resource management professionals. This book presents the latest research in this field.

Book SynopsisLogging in the northern forest has been romanticized, with images of log drives, plaid shirts, and bunkhouses in wide circulation. Increasingly dismissed as a quaint, rural pastime, logging remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States, with loggers occupying a precarious position amid unstable markets, expanding global competition, and growing labor discord. Examining a time of transition and decline in Maine's forest economy, Andrew Egan traces pathways for understanding the challenges that have faced Maine's logging community and, by extension, the state's forestry sector, from the postwar period through today.Seeking greater profits, logging companies turned their crews loose at midcentury, creating a workforce of independent contractors who were forced to purchase expensive equipment and compete for contracts with the mills. Drawing on his own experience with the region's forest products industry, interviews with Maine loggers, media coverage, and court documents, Egan follows the troubled recent history of the industry and its battle for survival.Trade Review “Haywire documents the history of the logging occupation in the Northeast, especially the tensions between workers and employers and major industries. There is almost no systematic and thorough formal literature on these issues.”—Lloyd C. Irland, author of Wildlands and Woodlots: The Story of New England’s Forests “Egan studies a ‘time of transition’ in the Maine forest and how this transition—largely to mechanized logging and then the collapse of the pulp and paper industry—has impacted woods workers. Seeking to understand these challenges through the eyes of the loggers themselves, Egan offers a good sense of the on-the-ground reality.”—Richard W. Judd, author of Finding Thoreau: The Meaning of Nature in the Making of an Environmental Icon "This book does a good job of identifying problems. It is a wakeup call that asks us to recognize and deal with some very serious realities . . ."—The Forestry Source

Book SynopsisThis book is a guide for the identification of the indigenous forest trees of Uganda. It will be useful for those who wish to contribute towards the conservation of the forests or to plant indigenous trees. Information is provided on how to propagate and cultivate about 80 of the most valuable species. Indigenous trees provide numerous resources useful for welfare and development. They include many types of timber and non-timber forest products, such as craft materials, foods and medicines. The proximity of indigenous forest helps to moderate the local climate, making it more suitable for agriculture. Indigenous forests protect springs, therefore safeguarding water supplies more effectively than exotic trees such as pines and eucalyptus. All 450 known indigenous tree species from the forests are included. Both scientific and local names are provided, the latter in 21 languages. Local names facilitate access to knowledge and values traditionally attached to the species, useful when planning pathways of development firmly rooted in local culture. The book will be invaluable for botanists, foresters, rural development workers and members of the general public concerned about contributing to conservation and sustainable development in Uganda. Many of the species grow in neighbouring countries, so the book has relevance there too.Table of ContentsPart 1: The forests and their trees Part 2: How to identify the trees Part 3: Keys to the species Part 4: Descriptions of the species Part 5: Glossary Part 6: Further information for the field worker Part 7: The indigenous languages of Uganda Part 8: References Part 9: Indexes of vernacular and trade names Part 10: Index of scientific names

Book SynopsisThis book addresses the important issues of food security and sustainability of natural resources of India in the context of the projected climate change. Agroecosystems being the sites of intense interaction between human beings and natural world, global climate change is likely to affect the resource base, the crop productivity, input use efficiency and overall the profitability of agricultural production systems to a great extent. However, the adverse effects of climate change can be alleviated through mitigation and adaptation strategies which carry importance due to the increasing population and food demand in India. Thus, this compilation covers possible sources and sinks of greenhouse gases in Indian context including the potentials of soil carbon sequestration, crop pest and soil management and scientific livestock management as mitigation and adaptation options. This book also includes some topics on fundamentals of green house effect and the possible mechanisms by which soil nutrient availability alters due to CO2 fertilization. The schematic diagrams, tables and graphs have been included to make the book more illustrative. The likelihood of carbon credits and trading through best management practices can help Indian farmers earning carbon credits in future. The book is useful for researchers, farm managers, policy makers and also students engaged in climate change related studies.Table of Contents1 Greenhouse Effect and Contribution of Indian Agriculture by S.
