    Description: "A principios del siglo XX el sector agropecuario era, por un gran margen, el más importante de la economía colombiana en cuanto al valor de su producción, el empleo que generaba y su contribución a las exportaciones. A lo largo del siglo, igual que en el resto de América Latina, Colombia tuvo una buena tasa de crecimiento del PIB y un buen aumento en el nivel promedio del ingreso y en otras medidas del bienestar de la población al mismo tiempo que el país se urbanizaba. Al final del siglo Colombia era ya más urbana que rural y su sector agropecuario, aunque más grande en términos absolutos que a principios del siglo, era mucho menor en relación al resto de la economía. Así, que si se consideran sólo las variables agregadas tales como el PIB y el ingreso promedio el desarrollo de Colombia, el curso del siglo XX fue exitoso. Sin embargo, junto con el crecimiento se dieron fallas graves en los aspectos de equidad, justicia y seguridad personal. En el curso del siglo ocurrieron tres grandes olas de violencia que resultaron en cientos de miles de muertos y, especialmente en el caso de la más reciente (desde los años 80 hasta la primera década de este siglo), millones de personas fueron desplazadas a la fuerza. La causa principal de este drama de violencia fue la tierra, su desigual distribución y la falta de un sistema de justicia que asegurara los derechos de propiedad a la misma. Por varios mecanismos, incluyendo la expulsión violenta, muchas familias de bajos ingreso perdieron su tierra y esta pasó a manos de personas con mayor poder político o de grupos armados. La gran concentración histórica de la tierra fue la causa original de una muy alta concentración del ingreso, un aspecto de la sociedad colombiana que se ha mantenido hasta hoy en día. Se han hecho algunos esfuerzos para remediar la desigualdad del control de la tierra, pero ninguno ha dado frutos, así que la desigualdad social se ha mantenido y, tal vez, se ha acentuado a través de los años."

    Description: The colour of carbon matters. Green carbon is the carbon stored in the plants and soil of natural ecosystems and is a vital part of the global carbon cycle. This report is the first in a series that examines the role of natural forests in the storage of carbon, the impacts of human land use activities, and the implications for climate change policy nationally and internationally. REDD (“reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation") is now part of the agenda for the “Bali Action Plan" being debated in the lead-up to the Copenhagen climate change conference in 2009. Currently, international rules are blind to the colour of carbon so that the green carbon in natural forests is not recognised, resulting in perverse outcomes including ongoing deforestation and forest degradation, and the conversion of extensive areas of land to industrial plantations. This report examines REDD policy from a green carbon scientific perspective. Subsequent reports will focus on issues concerning the carbon sequestration potential of commercially logged natural forests, methods for monitoring REDD, and the long term implications of forest policy and management for the global carbon cycle and climate change.

    Description: This report is the second in a series that examines the role of natural forests and woodlands in the storage of carbon. Understanding the role of natural ecosystems in carbon storage is an important part of solving the climate change problem. This report presents a landscape-wide green carbon account of the ‘Great Western Woodlands’ (GWW), sixteen million hectares of mostly contiguous natural woody vegetation to the east of the wheatbelt in south-western Western Australia. For the first time, we provide an overview of the vegetation structure, climate, geology and historical land use of the GWW, and examine how these interact to affect the carbon dynamics of this region’s landscape ecosystems. An analysis of time-series of satellite imagery is used to develop a fire history of the GWW since the 1970s. These layers of environmental information, along with field survey data and remotely sensed greenness, are used to construct a spatial model to estimate biomass carbon stocks of the woodlands at the present day, and to infer an upper limit to the carbon sequestration potential of the GWW. A range of management options to enable protection of high quality carbon stocks and restoration of degraded stocks are evaluated.

    Description: For various reasons it was not revised and edited for publication at that time. In view of the important events currently transpiring in and around the agricultural sector of Colombia and the possible usefulness of additional historical material, it is now being published essentially as it was left in the late 1960s. I have not reviewed the available material in detail recently, so their may be errors of fact that I am not aware of, either in the numbers presented or of other sorts. Many useful studies of Colombian agriculture have been undertaken in the interim, though they may not have covered the same material as included here. Because of the unrevised nature of the material the mode of presentation varies from chapter to chapter. Table numbers are not continuous (i.e. there may be no Table 5 in a given chapter) but their order has been maintained, sometimes through the use of decimals (e.g. Table 10.1).
