Strategic Approaches for Implementing International Cooperation in Industrialised Housing in Chongqing

The paper deals with the concept of housing industrialisation, the importance of promoting industrialised housing in Chongqing. It analyses the current condition and the possible implementation approaches for developing industrialised housing in Chongqing. It addresses the aim, objectives, suggested organisation structure and the rules and responsibilities of each party in this project. The paper also mentions the importance for international cooperation and what overseas participants can offer for this project.     

Inter-site transferability of crop varieties: another approach for analyzing multi-locational variety trials

Summary Improved crop varieties developed at experimental stations are intended for release for production in farmers' fields which are not necessarily the test sites. Therefore, it is important to measure the inter-site transferability of the crop variety. This study was undertaken to establish a statistical measure of inter-site transferability of a variety. Data on grain yield from two sets of multi-locational trials on barley and four sets of the wheat trials conducted by the Cereal Program, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, Syria, were analyzed to evaluate the inter-site transferability of the varieties. Genotype × environment interaction was significant and experimental errors were heterogeneous in each set of trials. Correlations between the slope (of linear regression of variety mean on location mean) and variety mean were significant (P < 0.01) in all trials. Correlations between the developed inter-site transferability statistic and the variety mean were significant (P < 0.05) in only two trials. Correlations between mean yield and probability of the inter-site transferability statistic were insignificant in all trials. The inter-site transferability statistic and the associated probability of the transferability may be used to select varieties which are high yielding as well as transferable to a new environment. The strong association of slope with mean yield restricted the scope of varietal selection but the introduced statistic did not suffer from this drawback.     

Influencing the global through understanding the local: Harold Brookfield's contribution to international organisations' biodiversity policy

Abstract: This article focuses on a significant paradigm shift in the approaches to biodiversity conservation in the developing countries that has affected important international organisations, including the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This paradigm shift marks a movement beyond protected areas to production landscapes. It is argued that one particular project, People, Land Management and Environmental Change (PLEC), developed under the leadership of Harold Brookfield has contributed significantly to the shift. The project was instrumental in introducing the term ‘agrodiversity’ that encompasses biological diversity as well as the management diversity found in smallholder agricultural systems at all levels. The article describes the evolution of PLEC into a major international collaborative project funded through the GEF. It highlights the project's main achievements and its influence on the policy‐making in the GEF relying on the findings of independent evaluations.

食品国际贸易规制述评

从食品国际贸易规制入手,分析和评价了现行国际贸易制度安排。指出W TO的《SPS协议》、《TBT协议》和法典委员会等国际规制有正负两方面的效应,一方面有助于国际食品规则的标准化,降低国际贸易中的交易成本;另一方面,由于发展中国家国内标准低、参与国际组织的“门槛”高等原因,造成其面临着事实的贸易不平等和标准遵从的困难。提出中国应联合发展中国家,通过对部分条款的修订,如将发达国家对发展中国家的援助从自愿改为强制性规定、给予发展中国家更长的遵从期限、让最不发达国家免费参与国际标准制定机构的活动等来争取贸易公平待遇。     

中国农产品国际贸易发展中的问题及对策

论述了WTO框架下农产品国际贸易发展的趋势及我国农产品贸易的主要问题,并提出从思想意识上重新认识我国农业发展的历史阶段及国际背景,加快科技创新和推广,提高产品的技术含量和竞争力,建立农产品标准化制度、认证制度及预警制度等以及在"绿箱"政策范围内加强对农业基础领域和涉农企业的支持。     

中国大米国际竞争力研究 ——基于同印度、巴基斯坦、泰国和越南的比较分析

稻谷是中国主要的粮食生产作物,具有较强的创造经济效益的能力。从联合国粮农组织和世界贸易组织的相关数据上来看,中国大米产量与中国大米的出口量存在着明显的不对称。笔者从研究国际竞争力的显示性指标出发,选择了亚洲最大的5个大米出口国作为研究对象,运用了国际市场占有率、贸易竞争指数、显示性比较优势指数、进出口价格比4个指标对中国大米的国际竞争力作了实证分析。结果表明,中国大米与印度、巴基斯坦、泰国和越南4国相比,不具有国际竞争力优势。     

中国—东盟跨境农业科技合作模式与发展路径

当前，中国与东盟国家在跨境农业科技交流与合作平台搭建、跨境农业技术培训服务、跨境农业技术试验示范项目和跨境农业产业园建设等方面的合作模式特色鲜明并走向成熟。以“一带一路”建设为契机，总结中国—东盟农业科技合作成功经验与面临的问题，由此提出了健全跨境农业技术市场体系、促进跨境农业科技合作的多元主体协同发展、健全跨境农业科技合作体系、构建跨境农业科技合作组织协调机制以及提供跨境农业科技合作配套服务支撑体系等发展路径。

土地资源保护进行国际合作

文章通过对一般环境国际保护的探讨,提出土地资源在加强国际合作保护方面的特殊性,主要是处理好土地资源环境保护与国家主权之间的统一,但出于对人类整体利益的考虑,土地资源还是要加强国际合作保护.
