Women in Agriculture Breaking the Grass Ceiling

Women in Agriculture Breaking the Grass Ceiling

The lives of women in rural India cannot be visualized without agriculture and allied activities. As per census 2011 figures four out of five women workers in rural India work as agriculture workers as owner cultivators or as wage workers. This research monograph is about women farmers—women who are engaged primarily in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits and predominantly belong to small and marginal land holdings households. It is the outcome of a baseline survey done in the year 2010-11 in three districts of Uttar Pradesh as part of an action intervention project. Based on the survey findings it discusses the structural and other factors that promote and perpetuate gender inequality and prevent women from realizing their full potential as farmers; presents the struggles positive experiences and practices; explores possible interventions at different levels for different stakeholders; and suggests a framework keeping the women's agency/empowerment at center stage while simultaneously enhancing their wellbeing. | Women in Agriculture Breaking the Grass Ceiling

Feedstock-based Bioethanol Fuels. I. Non-Waste Feedstocks Starch Sugar Grass Wood Cellulose Algae and Biosyngas-based Bioethanol Fuels

Feedstock-based Bioethanol Fuels. I. Non-Waste Feedstocks Starch Sugar Grass Wood Cellulose Algae and Biosyngas-based Bioethanol Fuels

This book aims to inform readers about the recent developments in production evaluation and utilization of bioethanol fuels from non-waste feedstocks. It covers the production of bioethanol fuels from first generation starch feedstocks and sugar feedstocks grass biomass wood biomass cellulose biosyngas and third generation algae. In this context there are nine key sections where the first four chapters cover the production of bioethanol fuels from feedstocks at large and non-waste feedstocks. This book shows that pretreatments and hydrolysis of the non-waste feedstocks fermentation of hydrolysates and separation and distillation of bioethanol fuels are the fundamental processes for bioethanol fuel production from these non-waste feedstocks with the exception of the biosyngas feedstocks. This book is a valuable resource for the stakeholders primarily in the research fields of energy and fuels chemical engineering environmental science and engineering biotechnology microbiology chemistry physics mechanical engineering agricultural sciences food science and engineering materials science biochemistry genetics molecular biology plant sciences water resources economics business and management transportation science and technology ecology public environmental and occupational health social sciences toxicology multidisciplinary sciences and humanities among others | Feedstock-based Bioethanol Fuels.

Urban Drainage and Storage Practices

Urban Drainage and Storage Practices

Urban Drainage and Storage Practices focuses on the latest developments in urban stormwater design methods using drainage and storage approaches for both water quality and quantity control. It covers both the conventional approaches to flood mitigation and low-impact methods for stormwater quality enhancement. Theory practice and modeling methods are presented to illustrate how to build a holistic stormwater drainage and storage system using urban open space and parks through multiple land use. Each chapter provides background theory numerical experiments illustrations and Excel spreadsheets that outline design and calculation procedures. All urban watersheds are modeled as a series of cascading planes to drain stormwater from upstream roofs and parking lots onto downstream grass areas and vegetal beds. The drainage system is designed as a three-layer cascading system with various low-impact units for micro events conveyance elements for minor events and storage facilities for macro events. This book: presents the theory and practice of designing and building a stormwater system explains green approaches to designing and managing urban stormwater systems. This text is ideal for senior and graduate students studying urban hydrology hydraulic engineering and water resource management. It will also be useful for engineers requiring a technical book with hands-on practical examples.
