The key contemporary issues in international agricultural development _ including food security, food safety, poverty reduction, climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the effects of the financial crisis on agricultural development, food crises and food aid etc.

The agriculture for development highlights two major regional challenges, which are sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Agricultural productivity growth is vital for stimulating growth in other parts of the economy, but accelerated growth requires a sharp productivity increase in small holder farming combined with more effective support to the millions coping as subsistence farmers, many of them in remote areas.

The success will also depend on concerted action by the international development community to confront the challenges ahead. We must level the playing field in goods, such as technologies for tropical food staples; help developing countries address climate change; and overcome looming health pandemics for plants, animals, and humans. This course on agricultural development aims to teach students to understand trends in international agricultural development.

Microbial populations are a key component of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and are responsible for mediating a number of important functions, including nutrient cycling and biogeochemical transformations. Molecular biology tools now allow us to describe the diversity and structure of microbial communities in natural systems, and relate these to environmental drivers and ecosystem function.

Course Outline

1.Nucleic acid recovery from environmental samples

2.Prokaryotic systematics:

3.DNA fingerprinting of microbial communities

4.Molecular typing of environmental isolates

5.Expression analysis of functional genes

6.Quantification of environmental microbes

7.Microbial ecology and genomics

8.Molecular detection of uncultured microorganisms

Modeling the bioenvironmental system is designed for students with an interest in systems and the bio-environment. It introduces the use of system dynamics models to understand and manage bioenvironmental systems. This course offers students with an overview of dynamic systems modeling including introductions on systems terminology, the uses of systems models, modeling constructs, positive and negative feedback, and sensitivity analysis. Then, this course provides applications that illustrate the use of dynamic models for exploring a variety of bioenvironmental problems. However, the course is an indispensable guide for students interested in state-of-the-art system dynamics modeling, its background and its application. The related software will be introduced in this course. Additional exercises and assignments help students to critically assess the potential of these instruments.

Therefore, this course will start with the introduction of the concept of rehabilitative ecology and cooperate with a comprehensive discussion on the ecological theories at different levels from community, ethnic group, ecosystem and topographical ecology, and their applicability in practicing ecological remediation. This course will take a series of lectures to explore examples of countries in the world to help students understand the practice of ecological restoration from the planning design, implementation and management stages to identify the threats and limitations and to understand the success or failure of the rehabilitation s reason. At the end of this course students should be able to:

Understand the science of restoration ecology and the practical skills of ecological restoration;

Develop ability to integrate ecological theories and information across levels of ecological organization and across tmeporal and spatial scales when planning and implementing ecological restoration as well as managing and analyzing restored systems;
