This article combines data from three studies to compare local food system development in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland using a single index of food relocalisation, thereby exploring the usefulness of the Index across different social
and political contexts. Four diagnostic indicators suggest that local food systems in the south west of Ireland and Britain are particularly well developed. The Index itself is a useful tool for making international comparisons, being easy to replicate

Traditional technology cannot help in producing adequate food to feed the Nigerian people. So it is necessary to develop science and technology. There is some effort to make to not only adapt foreign technologies, but develop indigenous technology
La production alimentaire dans la vallée de Hunza, district de Gilgit, au Nord du Pakistan, a été limitée par l'insuffisance de l'irrigation. La nécessité d'aménager un système d'irrigation à grande échelle a encouragé un régime politique
Les AA. soulignent quelques exemples de résolution de problèmes et de pratiques de survie à l'échelle du village et de l'exploitation agricole chez des petits producteurs alimentaires dans un environnement agro-économique plein de défis tel que

The concept of food system can be found in the scientific literature of the 1970s. The scope of the concept can be extended to include social and economic relationships as proper elements of the system. The approach presented above seeks to identify
all the interrelated factors that directly or indirectly determine the flows of food and related inputs. The discussion is centred on the spatial extent of the systems.
Food supply and staple food imports of Tropical Africa
Malgré une production alimentaire croissante, de nombreux pays continuent à importer un certain nombre de denrées comme le sucre, le blé et le riz. Un des problèmes les plus importants est le manque de souplesse dans le travail saisonnier. (EMS).
ERREUR DE SEQUENCE ER Although enough food is produced: for the next 100years millions of people are malnourished. As Gross Product rises, the poorest nations and income groups within nations need protection against ever-increasing demand for food

. Some current difficulties and future possibilities for agricultural and forestry production are also discussed. Some of the possibilities for New Zealand's engagement with Pacific Asian economies in terms of a third food regime are raised.
The paper uses ideas drawn from the international food regimes literature to explore New Zealand's position as a food and fibre exporter. The British connection and its demise are discussed in the context of the decline of the second food regime

The middle Senegal Valley has a low rainfall sahelian climate which has made dryland agriculture exceptionaly problematic during the past 25 years. Irrigation has been a welcomed addition to the productive spectrum of the valley. The Mamnantali Dam
is maaged without taking into account downstream smallholder productivity. The effects of flood-deficit years can be seen in increased frood shortages among the majority of farmers who do not have access to irrigation.
