The elements that determine the success of development projects on goats and the prerequisites for ensuring this are discussed in the context of the bewildering diversity of goat genetic resources, production systems, multifunctionality, and opportunities for responding to constraints for productivity enhancement. Key determinants for the success of pro-poor projects are the imperatives of realistic project design, resolution of priorities and positive impacts to increase investments and spur agricultural growth, and appropriate policy. Throughout the developing world, there exist 97% of the total world population of 921 million goats across all agroecological zones (AEZs), including 570 breeds and 64% share of the breeds. They occupy a very important biological and socioeconomic niche in farming systems making significant multifunctional contributions especially to food, nutrition and financial security, stability of farm households, and survival of the poor in the rural areas. Definitions are given of successful and failed projects. The analyses highlighted in successful projects the value of strong participatory efforts with farmers and climate change. Climate change effects on goats are inevitable and are mediated through heat stress, type of AEZ, water availability, quantity and quality of the available feed resources and type of production system. Within the prevailing production systems, improved integrated tree crops - ruminant systems are underestimated and are an important pathway to enhance C sequestration. Key development strategies and opportunities for research and development (R and D) are enormous, and include inter alia defining a policy framework, resolution of priority constraints using systems perspectives and community-based participatory activities, application of yield-enhancing technologies, intensification, scaling up, and impacts. The priority for development concerns the rainfed areas with large concentrations of ruminants in which goats, with a capacity to cope with heat tolerance, can be the entry point for development. Networks and networking are very important for the diffusion of information and can add value to R and D. Well formulated projects with clear priority setting and participatory R and D ensure success and the realisation of food security, improved livelihoods and self-reliance in the future.

India faces a formidable challenge in ensuring security of access to modern energy carriers to majority of its population. The fossil-fuel dominated centralized energy system has proved to be ineffective in creating sustainable access to energy, which suggests need for a radical and innovative approach. We present such an approach. First, the need for innovations given the implications of lack of energy access on sustainable development is assessed. Next, possible innovations with respect to technologies, policies, institutions, markets, financial instruments and business models are discussed. Finally, an economic and financial feasibility of implementing such innovations are analyzed. The results indicate that such a proposal needs an investment of US$ 26.2 billion over a period of 20 years for a GHG mitigation potential of 213Tg $CO_{2e}$. The proposition is profitable for the enterprises with IRRs in the range of 39%-66%. The households will get lifeline access to electricity and gas for cooking at an affordable monthly cost of about US$ 5.7.

Injury in agriculture is a serious public health issue with a major impact on the lives of Korean farmers. It is one of the leading causes of death and is also a major cause of longand short-term disability. In 2001, the social cost of one accident in agricultural machinery was estimated as 97.7-97.8 million won that is 4 fold of farm household income in Korea. Effective prevention and control of injuries requires a system of surveillance that monitors the incidence of injuries, their causes, treatment and outcomes. This requires an integrated system of data collection, analysis and interpretation and communication. Creating effective injury surveillance system in Korea requires to establish a framework for a national agenda. Discussions regarding the development of the framework should address, but not be limited to issues related to Data Holdings and Linkages; Capacity and Skills; Communication; Interconnection; and Surveillance Products. Ideally, an injury surveillance system would meet the information requirements across all sectors, while allowing each to have the ongoing information it needs for its policy and programming needs. This study was carried out to develop a surveillance system of agricultural injuries in Korea. Study subjects were residents who lived in a typical agricultural area (Yangpyung area in Kyung-gi province). The main data sources were reports of village headmen, compared with data of 'National Emergency Management Agency', 'National Health Insurance Corporation', 'Insurance of National Agricultural Cooperative', and 'Emergency Medical Centers'. Each data were reviewed to validate the strengths and weaknesses.

To effectively implement the integrated water management policy outlined in the National Water Management Act, it is essential to analyze agricultural water supply and demand at both basin and water district levels. Currently, agricultural water is primarily distributed through open canal systems and controlled by floodgates, yet the utilization-to-supply ratio remains at a mere 48%. In the case of agricultural water, when analyzing water balance through existing national basin water resource models (K-WEAP, K-MODISM), distortion of supply and regression occurs due to calculation of regression rate based on the concept of net water consumption. In addition, by simplifying the complex and diverse agricultural water supply system within the basin into a single virtual reservoir, it is difficult to analyze the surplus or shortage of agricultural water for each field within the basin. There are limitations in reflecting the characteristics and actual sites of rural water areas, such as inconsistencies with river and reservoir supply priority sites. This study focuses on the development of a model aimed at improving the deficiencies of current water balance analysis methods. The developed model aims to provide standardized water balance analysis nationwide, with initial application to the Anseo standard watershed. Utilizing data from 32 facilities within the standard watershed, the study conducted water balance analysis through watershed linkage, highlighting differences and improvements compared to existing methods.

The structure of the Hanwoo (Korean Native Cattle) Industry remains very weak and vulnerable to the WTO/IMF system. Considering that the majority of cattle farmers are small sized, and that marketing systems are outdated and inefficient, rapid expansion of lower priced beef imports by WTO system and rapid increasing of production costs by IMF system would lead to the deprivation of a regular source of farm income and threaten the stability of rural life. Accordingly, the Hanwoo industry should be expanded in accordance with progress in the implementation of (1) programs for the structural adjustment and (2) measures to compensate for the loss. Efforts for lowering major production factor costs needs to continue, In order to increase the supply of calves at low cost, the programs of collective cow-calf farms should be expanded, thereby reducing the cost of calf purchase, which constitutes the largest share of Hanwoo production cost. Also, feedlot operations should be encouraged for small herd farms in order to achieve a substantial saving in beef production costs by integrated operations from calf production to cattle fattening. A substantial saving would also be made by collective purchase and distribution of various inputs through the cooperatives' channels. Extension services should be strengthened for cattle farm management, cattle care and feeding, prevention of cattle disease, etc. In order to minimize cash outlays for commercial mixed feeds, utilization of far by-products as feeds should be enhanced and production of forage crops productive of resources, such as land and rural labor, during the farm o(f-season, needs to be encouraged. Also, technological development for enhancing the nutritional value of farm by-products should be encouraged. Measures for successful segregation of the Hanwoo beef market should be implemented, thereby enhancing incentive for quality beef producers and protecting consumers willing to pay higher price for quality beef. For development of the Hanwoo industry, a considerable time frame would be required in order for (1) small livestock farmers to make a successful adjustment by staying in the enterprise and achieving increased price efficiency (2) livestock farmers to acquire know-how for producing quality Hanwoo beef, (3) the ongoing Government policy of enhancing price-quality competitiveness, and for improving the quality Hanwoo beef marketing to take root. (4) consumers to increase their ability to distinguish meat quality, and others.

2010년 11월부터 새만금 내부개발을 위한 단계적 관리수위 적용이 실시되었으며, 이에 따른 수온 및 염분 변화 등을 파악하고자 현장 수질 모니터링 보완에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 한국농어촌공사에서는 월 3~4회에 걸쳐 총 25개 지점에서 염분 및 수온 자료를 관측 분석하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 상기 자료를 활용하여 계절적 성층수괴 분포 특성을 연도별로 비교하였으며, 관측한 자료는 크리깅을 이용하여 그 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 이 때 수온 및 염분 자료를 통한 ${\sigma}_t$와 성층계수를 함께 계산하였으며, 여러 관측 지점 중 M4와 D4 지점을 선정하여 월별 수직적인 수온, 염분 및 ${\sigma}t$ 변화 양상을 분석하였다. 2011년 및 2012년의 수온-염분 모니터링 비교 결과, 수온은 두 기간 동안 수직적 성층 현상은 여름철에 일시적으로 발생하였으며, 수층 상 하 간의 온도차는 약 $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$로 성층 강도는 크지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 염분 농도는 표층에서 저층으로 갈수록 염분 농도가 높아지며, 여름철 표층에서 낮은 염도를 보이는 동일한 경향을 갖는다. 하지만 전반적으로 2012년의 염분 농도가 2011년에 비해 높은 분포를 보이며, 수심 5 m 이내에서 농도가 급변하는 현상이 나타난다. 따라서 밀도 변화는 주로 풍수기 기간에 집중되는 현상이 나타나, 성층현상은 하구 지역의 여름철 상류유입량에 매우 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타난다.

Due to the increasing needs of land supply, green space has been continuously encroached and resulted considerable naturality deterioration in Korea. In order to overcome the problem, it is necessary to introduce a integrated system for managing the quantitative and qualitative aspects of green space. With this regard, this study is to derive the feasibility for the adoption of the 'no net loss of green' policy to Korea from German and Japanese experiences. In Germany, natural resources are protected and inevitable damages were compensated through the adoption of 'interference regulation'. In Japanese case, future green space and artificial green foundation should be specified on the green basic plan which pursuit the improvement of naturality. In order to introduce the 'no net loss of green' policy to Korea, not only awareness raising on integrated green management system but also amendment of related regulations are needed. In detail, restoration and recovery on the damaged nature should be clearly elucidated and indicators to evaluate the current naturality and calculation methods for the restoration should be developed. Should this integrated green management system introduced, deterioration of naturality by development activities could be minimized thorough the adoption of land development permission criteria and green space management methodologies.

본 연구는 아프리카 지역의 농업기술보급체계를 진단하고, 보급체계의 발전방향 및 개발원조 전략을 제시함으로써 ODA(Official Development Assistance)를 통한 아프리카 농업기술전수의 효과성 제고에 기여하고자 한다. 기존의 대(對)아프리카 농업원조는 아프리카의 농업이 내포하고 있는 '다양성'과 '복잡성'의 가치를 간과한 채 진행되어 왔으며, 막대한 원조금액의 기대와 달리, 아프리카의 농업발전은 답보 상태에 놓여 있다. 본 연구는 농업기술보급체계 및 ODA사업 전략의 아프리카화(Africanization) 논의를 제기하고 있으며, 설문조사 일변도의 미시적 시각에서 나아가 사례국가별 농업기술보급체계의 거시적 특성을 분석하고 있다. 연구 결과, 사례국가의 기술보급체계는 조직과 기능에 따라 상이한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 이에 기술보급체계의 주체별 역할 세분화와 기능별 역량 분석 내용 또한 차별적으로 구성되었다. 에티오피아의 경우, 정부조직의 규모별로 하향식 농업기술보급체계가 구축되어 있으며, 전달체계의 최종행위자인 농민집단의 참여가 확대되고 있다. 그러나 여전히 기술전달을 통한 생산성 향상 등의 기능보다는 농가경영적인 측면에 치중되어 있어, 전달 기술의 효과적인 활용이 결여되어 있는 실정이다. 반면 우간다의 사례에서는 전 기관을 포괄하는 참여적 지도체계가 구축되어 있으나, 기술지도의 시급성에도 불구하고 지도 역할보다는 연구 기능의 확대에 투자가 집중되어 있음이 규명되었다. 상기 연구결과는 현 농업기술보급체계의 개선과 이를 토대로 한 농업기술전수사업의 수행이 아프리카 농업 농촌 ODA사업의 효과성 제고와 농업침체의 문제를 해결하기 위한 필요조건임을 논증하고 있다.
