Applied Climate Education and Training for Agricultural and Natural Resource Management in India,Indonesia, Zimbabwe and Australia

Abstract

In parts of the world, including many developing countries, climate variability impacts negatively on agricultural production and natural resource management. Workshops in applied climatology were held in Australia, India, Indonesia and Zimbabwe between 1999 and 2002 to provide farmers and agricultural and meteorological staff a better understanding of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon, associated climate variability, its forecast potential and its relevance to their local agriculture system. Most participants saw climate information skills as essential or useful in their work but few had good skills. Through discussions, learning outcomes were established and resource materials developed in Australia were adapted for use in the other countries. Educational course material was developed for workshops and for vocational and tertiary education. This material was developed in multimedia and print format suited to different learning styles. Workshops incorporated sessions on local climate, a climate analysis tool to assist forecasting, application of forecasts, communication and evaluation. Post-workshop surveys demonstrated improved knowledge and skills of participants with a need for further training in risk management strategies relating to agricultural systems. This was identified by a skills audit during the workshops and could form the basis for an advanced training programme.     

A Survey of Human Resource Management and Qualification Levels in Hungarian Agriculture

Abstract

The question of quality and value of human resources have been at the forefront of Hungarian agriculture for the past few years. The decreasing number of agricultural employees in Hungary in the last decade (1990–2000) is a result of the crisis caused by the change of the socio-economic system rather than economic and technological development. Along with the decrease in employee numbers, their qualification level also declined. The aim of our research is to present the results of surveys that we undertook to examine the problems of the qualifications of those employed in agriculture and human resource management. Our survey was carried out within the framework of a research program elaborated by the Department of Management Science at the University of Debrecen. We conducted a questionnaire-based research series amongst managers of agricultural companies. On the basis of the results we worked out an equivalent calculation system suitable for reviewing and comparing the different qualifications within organizations. Using the qualification equivalent as a recalculation factor, the aggregate qualification value and the qualification index of companies was calculated. From the qualification index we carried out different studies in order to compare and analyse the human resource management of organizations. We stated that the qualification index is below 1 in the case of 50% of the involved companies which means that the qualification of the employees in agriculture is extremely low in Hungary. We demonstrated that companies employing higher educated employees operate more effectively. In the case of companies with fewer employees the qualification indexes are higher.     

Rural Child Labour: Views of Extension Agents in Ethiopia

Abstract

Purpose:

Whilst children working in agriculture and domestic work is an inherent part of growing up and essential for survival, if boys and girls lose out on education they are less equipped to respond to inevitable environmental shocks and to negotiate agri-food value chains. This article investigates views of extension agents on children working.
