Youth engagement in agricultural policy processes in Malawi

This study assesses the nature of networking between youth and agricultural policy-makers – given youth disillustionment with agricultural livelihoods. Using the Malawi case, a mixed-methods approach shows, first, that local government departments which are mandated to work on youth issues are the main hubs of information for youth in agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture plays a secondary role. Second, the study shows that youth in agriculture have little or no direct interactions with each other. Therefore, youth remain on the periphery of agricultural policy-making and their role in shaping agricultural policy dialogue is negligible. This is attributable to both lack of a deliberate government policy to include the youth and lack of a unified youth platform. The onus is therefore on the youth to ensure that they are effectively engaged in agricultural policy dialogue. The study concludes with policy recommendations relevant for countries with a ‘youth/agriculture’ problem like Malawi.

乡村振兴背景下农村电商直播助力产业发展策略研究

农村电商直播在推动农业产业升级和乡村振兴等方面创造了巨大的经济社会效益。通过农村电商直播,农产品的销售渠道得以拓宽,农民的就业岗位得以增加,农村电商直播为乡村振兴背景下的农村发展带来了新希望。然而作为新兴事物,农村电商直播在产品生产端和直播平台端都存在一些亟待解决的问题,如农产品电商直播基础服务不完善,农产品品牌效应弱,农村电商直播评价反馈体系不完善等。因此,针对乡村振兴背景下农村电商直播助力产业发展问题进行探讨并提出解决方案,具有现实意义。     

产业融合发展、农产品供需结构与农业供给侧改革核心探寻

在农产品价格保护制度背景下,不能完成产业融合会限制产业之间的关联效应发挥,导致农产品供需反馈机制瓦解,从而使农产品供需结构出现矛盾。因此,需要对产业融合发展、农产品供需结构以及农业供给侧改革核心进行研究。论文从产业融合发展的必要性、产业融合发展与农产品供需结构之间的形成机理出发进行分析,探讨在新形势下,产业融合发展与农业供给侧改革的选择策略,从而创新我国的农业经营体系,构建完善的农业社会化服务体系,推动我国农业供给侧结构性改革的进一步发展。     

利用取土场废置高边坡进行景观提升改造的技术应用

对一县城道路入口处的废置取土场37m高边坡进行治理,并根据取土场现状地貌设计假山、人工瀑布、绿化设计等进行景观提升改造,通过优化绿地空间格局,完善公园的游览系统、服务设施、植物群落等方面,有效改善入城口区域城市风貌,同时也为周边的社区居民提供日常休闲、娱乐、游览和康体活动的公共空间,并充分发挥其作为南部新城区域中心森林氧吧的生态作用,形成稳定的、可持续发展的城市绿色生态系统。     

A single currency for the Economic Community of West Africa? An economic assessment

This paper assesses the economic support for the creation of an Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) monetary union encompassing all its 15 members, an objective that was set more than 30 years ago. In line with previous empirical research, our conclusion is that the adoption of a common currency by the whole region is not recommended. This work takes a step forward and assesses alternative ways to reduce the current number of currencies in circulation in the Community. Based on our results, we suggest (i) the merging of the currencies of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone into a single currency and (ii) the Gambia to join the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU).     

基于主客视角的苏南传统村落旅游地乡愁的时间特征

“记得住乡愁”是乡村旅游和乡村振兴的重要内容。本文基于居民和游客视角,以苏南传统村落为案例地,探讨乡愁的时间特征。结果表明：（1）乡愁主体方面：相对暂居村落的外来人口,三代以上的世代居民对家乡乡愁情感更加强烈;出生在1950—1959和1960—1978年间的这两代游客较多成长在乡村,乡愁文化感知相对更高;离开家乡在外工作生活时间越长的游客在传统村落旅游时,其乡愁情感和乡愁记忆比起未离开家乡或离开家乡较短的人更加强烈。（2）乡愁触点方面：触发居民和游客乡愁的季节集中在秋天和冬天,天气集中在下雨和落雪时,时辰集中在深夜和傍晚时,节庆集中在春节、中秋节、清明节和家乡特有节日,假日主要集中在周末、寒假和“十一”国庆假期。（3）乡愁记忆方面：主客乡愁记忆都主要集中在童年,其次是青少年,最后是成年和老年;游客产生乡愁的频率比居民频率相对高。（4）乡愁载体回忆顺序：主客乡愁载体都会提到“家”和“乡”相关场所和空间,其回忆的顺序是家人、家、家乡和国家。文章最后总结了乡愁旅游开发的启示。
