  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Gender Matters: Place Located Indigenous Knowledge: Finding the Value of Per Capita Earth Resource Consumption Necessary for Human Sustainability Author: Alexander, William M. Year: 2001 Indigenous knowledge (creation of human well-being with a modicum of Earth resources) in India was augmented in the twentieth century with new technologies. The new technologies have raised Indian well-being, but these improvements has been insufficient to motivate Indians to choose families small enough to achieve human sustainability. Fortunately, within India a stable population (29 million) currently meets the criteria for human sustainability -- modest per capita taking of Earth resources combined with small families. The one significant difference in the indigenous knowledge of Kerala contrasted to India is central to the human experience, family structure. We may identify weak patriarchy versus strong patriarchy. The fact that the rapid increases in the well-being measures of Kerala have occurred in the last half of the twentieth century suggests a strong synergy of the new technologies (especially public education and western medicine) with the weak patriarchy in the Kerala part of India. Within the low Indian incomes and low per capita consumption of Earth resources, the high well-being measures of Kerala have been sufficient to cause a rapid decline in total fertility rates to a sustainable level, lower than in North America. The low consumption of Earth resources in Kerala can be viewed as a benchmark for sustainability -- efficient human consumption. This efficiency benchmark is found in the weak patriarchy of Kerala within the strong patriarchy India -- a contrast of indigenous knowledge.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Gender Roles of Women in Aquaculture and Food Security in Nigeria Author: Olufayo, Mosun Women are recognized as agents of changes and development .Their involvement in aquaculture is one issue that needs to be addressed when dealing with rural communities and poverty alleviation among the rural women .The major way to ensure that women utilize their full potentials in profitable aquaculture is to provide capacity building support which would eventually lead to poverty alleviation among them .The role of women in adopting new aquaculture technology has been restricted and often ignored because of the socio-cultural taboos against them. This paper enlightens women on the different stages of production in aquaculture that they could be involved in, as fishers for home consumption, they contribute significantly to the nutritional needs of their families. The idea is to empower the women with modern technologies in aquaculture to generate enough revenue to sustain their families and save the society from menace of fish scarcity. When women are involved in aquaculture production, it will go a long way in achieving the millennium development goals of eradicating extreme poverty, hunger and empowering women in Nigeria.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Is “Waste Not Want Not” an Adequate Ethic for By-catch?: Five Biblical Ethical Models for Addressing Incidental Fisheries Catch and Ecosystem Disturbance Author: Bratton, Susan Power Year: 2001 The “Protestant ethic” with its emphasis on hard work, efficiency, and frugality has influenced the values of North American fishing communities. Many commercial fishers concur with its principle of “waste not, want not,” and believe that discarding marketable fish is wrong. In industrialized fisheries, this ethic by itself is inadequate, due to the use of mechanized harvest technologies that can capture fish at great depths and sweep over large areas of ocean. Under a general ethic of Christian stewardship of creation, five Biblically based ethical models can offer guidance: “do not destroy” which prohibits wanton disturbance of productive nature; neighborliness which prohibits damage to another families’ livelihood, divine ownership of and joy in creation, which assigns value to non-economic species; stewardship, which requires both active resource protection, and careful resource use; and the Hebrew land ethic, which requires a sabbatical or rest for harvested ecosystems, disallows complete efficiency of harvest, and requires that some of the harvest be left for both God’s creatures and for the poor or disadvantaged members of the human community. Although Christian ethical concepts cannot replace intelligent ocean policy, they can serve as foci for problem solving, and inspiration to better care of the marine environment.
