    While the connections between science fiction and race have largely been neglected by scholars, racial identity is a key element of the subjectivity constructed in American SF. In his Mars series, Edgar Rice Burroughs primarily supported essentialist constructions of racial identity, but also included a few elements of racial egalitarianism. Writing in the 1930s, George S. Schuyler revised Burroughs' normative SF triangle of white author, white audience, and white protagonist and promoted an individualistic, highly variable concept of race instead. While both Burroughs and Schuyler wrote SF focusing on racial identity, the largely separate genres of science fiction and African American literature prevented the similarities between the two authors from being adequately acknowledged and explored. Beginning in the 1960s, Samuel R. Delany more fully joined SF and African American literature. Delany expands on Schuyler's racial constructionist approach to identity, including gender and sexuality in addition to race. Critically intertwining the genres of SF and African American literature allows a critique of the racism in the science fiction and a more accurate and positive portrayal of the scientific connections in the African American literature. Connecting the popular fiction of Burroughs, the controversial career of Schuyler, and the postmodern texts of Delany illuminates a gradual change from a stable, essentialist construction of racial identity at the turn of the century to the variable, social construction of poststructuralist subjectivity today.

    How would climate change affect India’s agriculture which accounts for sixty percent of employment? We study the impact of climate change on the level and variability of yields of rice (India’s major food crop) and two key millet crops (sorghum and pearl millet), using an all India district level panel dataset from 1966-2011. A stochastic production function is estimated with exogenous climate anomalies. We find that climate change adversely affects both the level and variability of crop yields - rice yields are reduced by rainfall extremes whereas extremely high temperatures make yields of all three crops highly variable with the biggest impact on millets.

    Relationship between value chain governance and value chain integration (as an outcome of a public private partnership to promote value chain competiveness at the regional level). The case of the rice value chain in Tolima (Colombia) Alexander Blandón López PhD. Lecturer Universidad del Tolima Janeth González Rubio MA Lecturer Universidad del Tolima This paper focuses on the study of the relationship between value chain governance and value chain integration (as an outcome of a public private partnership to promote value chain competiveness at the regional level). The study expands and disaggregates Gereffi's Global Commodity Chain framework and applies some of its analytical categories (input output structure and governance amongst others) to the study of regional value chains. The governance structure embodies the 'authority and power relations that determine how financial, material, and human resources are allocated and flow within the chain' (Gereffi 1994: 97). In this sense, the concept relates to the 'power relations in the chain and the institutions which mould and wield this power' (Kaplinsky and Morris 2000). There is a directed network form of coordination of the rice value chain. Historically there had been developed systems of formal and informal agreements between producers and rice threshing entrepreneurs on subjects such as payments, rice varieties and quantities. Other forms of coordination such as support strategies for rice producers, supply of packing inputs, financing and technical assistance have also been developed (Corpoica 2000: 54). These practices provided a basic common ground for the discussion and signing of the competitiveness agreement as an instrument of coordination for the value chain rice threshing in Tolima (Colombia). From a governance point of view, it can be stated that a domestic oligopsony of an agricultural raw material protected by the national government reduces the likelihood of success for the expected developmental outcomes of a competitiveness agreement. A domestic market protected from imports introduces as a main contention point between agro-producers and industrialists in a competitiveness agreement the issue of price determination. At the end, the government has to arbitrate. Finally, a competitiveness agreement embodies for a regional government a potential instrument for social and economic policy interventions. First, governments can participate in this scheme, having in mind the promotion of social policies (employment generation and smallholder income improvements), particularly in depressed areas with a tradition or a potential for raw material production. Second, competitiveness agreements offer to the public sector a scope of action to deal with regional economic restructuring processes and to promote endogenous development policies with active involvement and contribution of several regional stakeholders Blandon, L.A (2012) Economic restructuring and value chains.

    A significant question in agricultural economic research is understanding how economic shocks affect the different links of a productive chain, since the gains and losses induced by them might spread in a non-uniform way among the different actors. In the face of a scenario that advocates a possible intensification in the facilitation of Brazilian rice imports, this study assessed the effects of a less restrictive commercial policy in the rice market in Brazil. A partial equilibrium model is adopted as the empirical strategy, which allows microeconomic simulations commonly used by the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) in its commercial policy definition and in its arguments in litigations with the World Trade Organization (WTO). The results show that even under unfavorable conditions, represented by a high elasticity of substitution and high sensitivity of supply and demand to prices, and still under a highly permissive commercial policy, the impact on domestic and Mercosur producers is low. The consumer tends to increase their consumption with the price reduction; however, the magnitude of that reduction slightly affects the inflation indicators.

    This study assesses the impact of increased fertilizer prices under different scenarios on rice production, consumption, trade and prices. Using a global rice model based on a partial equilibrium framework, the simulation results show that a 30% to 100% increase in fertilizer prices would reduce rice yields by 0.45% to 1.33%, but increase world rice prices by 7% to 23% between 2022 and 2025. As the world market price for rice increases significantly, rice trade and rice consumption will decrease accordingly, estimated at 1.7% to 7.0% and 0.27% to 0.78%, respectively. The simulation results also show that retail prices for rice would increase significantly in all rice-consuming countries. The impact of higher fertilizer prices would vary widely in the major rice-producing countries.

    Established by the United Nations in 2015 with a target date of 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a framework with specific objectives to guide global development policy. The SDGs extend and modify an earlier framework, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), established in 2000 with a target date of 2015. Goal 1 of the MDGs was to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, with the specific goals of halving the proportions of both undernourished and malnourished people between 1990 and 2015. The poverty goal was met fully, ahead of schedule, and substantive progress was made toward the hunger goal due, in large part, to gains in agricultural production and productivity. Building on this progress, SDG 2 aims to "end hunger" and "achieve food security and improved nutrition," while promoting "sustainable agriculture." Lifting millions of families from the desperate cycle of hunger and poverty also had consequences for the environment. Roughly 72% of the world's freshwater supplies go to agriculture; in South Asia, agriculture uses over 90%. On-farm greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are growing too. Global on-farm GHG emissions grew by about 10% between 1990 and 2020, from 6.7 to 7.4 GtCO2e; in Asia, during the same period, on-farm GHG emissions grew by 27%, from 2.5 to 3.2 GtCO2e. All of this puts agriculture and food systems at odds with other SDG goals, particularly Goal 6, which calls for efforts to better manage water supplies; Goal 12, which aims to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint; and Goal 13, which calls for urgent action to combat climate change. This paper looks at how past technology choices opened a pathway to prosperity in Asia that now threatens the region's natural resources and the stability of the planet's climate. Specifically, the paper focuses on the greenhouse gas emissions from two practices, the cultivation of paddy rice and the growth in livestock production, in 15 countries in South and Southeast Asia, which collectively account for more than 80% of the global emissions from each practice. Based on country-specific habit-formation models of dietary choice estimated from a 15-country panel of annual data from 1970 to 2020, out-of-sample projections show that business-as-usual emissions from rice production and animal waste will increase by 57% and 204%, respectively, over the next three decades. The projections are robust to alternative assumptions about income growth. This illustrates how the past success of the intensive agricultural technologies, and the income gains they helped spur, has led to still-ongoing dietary transitions that will complicate and hinder future efforts to reduce on-farm emissions, as researchers and policymakers strive to foster greener technologies to reduce agriculture's environmental footprint - technologies that must also sustain continued productivity gains if all SDGs are to be met.

    While the connections between science fiction and race have largely been neglected by scholars, racial identity is a key element of the subjectivity constructed in American SF. In his Mars series, Edgar Rice Burroughs primarily supported essentialist constructions of racial identity, but also included a few elements of racial egalitarianism. Writing in the 1930s, George S. Schuyler revised Burroughs' normative SF triangle of white author, white audience, and white protagonist and promoted an individualistic, highly variable concept of race instead. While both Burroughs and Schuyler wrote SF focusing on racial identity, the largely separate genres of science fiction and African American literature prevented the similarities between the two authors from being adequately acknowledged and explored. Beginning in the 1960s, Samuel R. Delany more fully joined SF and African American literature. Delany expands on Schuyler's racial constructionist approach to identity, including gender and sexuality in addition to race. Critically intertwining the genres of SF and African American literature allows a critique of the racism in the science fiction and a more accurate and positive portrayal of the scientific connections in the African American literature. Connecting the popular fiction of Burroughs, the controversial career of Schuyler, and the postmodern texts of Delany illuminates a gradual change from a stable, essentialist construction of racial identity at the turn of the century to the variable, social construction of poststructuralist subjectivity today.
