These nations face significant ecological challenges concerning their renewable natural resources—land, water, and biomass—which are essential for food production. The non-renewable natural resources available, particularly minerals, can provide economic benefits to the country and some of its people, but they also pose serious sustainability risks. The resource-based sectors operate in the context of high poverty in these countries; this adds new constraints to food production and makes artisanal mining a means of escape from socio-economic precarity. The governance of these natural resources raises important issues, as does the management of conflicts related to their competitive access. Environmental impact and sustainability are common and major concerns in both sectors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe productive and social interactions between the two resource-based sectors are complex and often contradictory. Agriculture and mining, particularly the extractive artisanal model, compete for access to land and other critical production factors. On one hand, artisanal mining can serve as a crucial livelihood diversification strategy for poor farming families. For its part, industrial mining provides public revenue, which, under adequate governance, can improve social services for the rural population. On the other hand, the environmental costs of mining, both artisanal and industrial, can be severe and long-lasting for agricultural activities.\u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the various issues - socio-economic, institutional, environmental, and more - related to agriculture and mining, as well as the similarities and particular characteristics of these issues across both sectors in the countries examined.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eBiography\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAuthor(s):\u003c\/span\u003e \n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter obtaining his Economics degree in 1976, he worked in Spain in agricultural and rural credit organisations.
