Journal articles, books, monographs, research papers, and lecture-discussion papers on educational planning covering the period from 1970 to mid 1977 are cited. Some outstanding literature not belonging to this period is also cited. The first section lists existing bibliographies in educational planning. Concept and general theory and methodology of educational planning are the foci of sections two and three. Section four deals with the educational planning process. Materials listed in section five focus on economic models, techniques (e.g., cost-benefit analysis and linear programming), and approaches (e.g., rate of return and residual) in educational planning. Sections six through ten, which comprise about half the publication, deal with educational planning in developing countries, including Africa and Latin America. Specifically discussed are factors influencing educational planning, special projects, curriculum planning, teaching, and teacher training. A subject index and listings of authors and abbreviations conclude the bibliography. (RM)

Human activity is changing the global environment at an unprecedented rate while humanity faces a range of complex and interrelated challenges to local, regional and global development, human security and politics. Food security ranks high on the science, policy and development agendas. However, most research linking global change and food systems examines the impact of climate change on agricultural production, or the impact of agriculture on land use, pollution and biodiversity, overlooking interactions with other aspects of the food system – such as food processing, packaging, transportation and consumption and employment derived from these activities. This book demonstrates that new threats to food security which arise from environmental change require more than simply a focus on agricultural practices – what is needed is an integrated food system approach. The authors point out that the process of adapting food systems to global environmental change is not simply a search for technological solutions to increase agricultural yields. Tradeoffs across multiple scales among food system outcomes are a prevalent feature of globalized food systems. Within food systems, there are key underexplored areas that are both sensitive to environmental change and crucial to understanding its implications for food security and adaptation strategies. The authors assert that technical prescriptions alone will not efficiently manage the food security challenge. This book is their contribution to a new paradigm, which addresses food systems holistically by engaging researchers in multiple disciplines to understand the causes and drivers of vulnerability.
