This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com
Today we continue telling about
a report by three geography
experts from American colleges. They studied food security
in Gambia, Ivory Coast and
Mali over thirty years.
In the nineteen eighties, governments and lenders
like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund
changed market policies.
They launched free markets designed to improve agriculture. The report, however, suggests that the
changes caused loss of important support systems for farmers.
Private investment in agriculture largely replaced government help. In some places, roads and mills built to help farmers fell
into ruin. Protectionist import taxes and farm supports were cut.
Farmers planted more of their best crops, or cash crops, for export. They planted fewer food crops for local use. Less costly rice came into the ports of Gambia and
Ivory Coast. Many city people in those countries liked the cheap rice more than rice grown locally.
Researcher Judith Carney works at the University of California at
Los Angeles. She said buying the cheaper imported rice worked well until the worldwide food crisis of two thousand eight. Then, many people could not pay for an important part of their diet.
Researcher Laurence Becker of
Oregon State University said some local farmers stopped farming. Food production fell and unemployment rose. The researchers said people in Mali were able to deal better with the food crisis. Malis farmers supplied more of their nations rice needs than
the other two countries studied. And the poorest people in Malian cities ate sorghum instead of rice.
William Moseley of Macalester College in Minnesota led the report. Professor Moseley said Malian farmers had planted more sorghum because the price of their cotton,
a cash crop, had dropped.
Unlike Ivory Coast and Gambia,
Mali has no seaports. He said this is often seen as a problem for Mali. But it caused them to depend less on imported rice. Based on their research, the experts suggest that farmers plant a variety of crops and not just depend on rice. They also say governments could place some trade barriers. And, they urge
that mills and roads be built
or rebuilt to process and
carry grains to market.

When it comes to Web 2.0 promotions, there is no shortage of different ways to attract extra traffic to your website. The difficult part is finding the methods that work best for you. One handy method that often passes under the marketing radar is the use of classified websites to increase backlinks and help create organic traffic too.
There is little difference between the traditional classified ads you see in a newspaper and classifieds on the web, except that you can post your ads for free on all the websites we mention here.
Most people use classifieds as a way to increase backlinks. However, do not discount the organic traffic that it might gain you so spend some time writing your classifieds. Keep them catchy and try to come up with a good headline. Also, use your targeted keywords in classifieds as much as possible.
There are a number of websites you can put your classifieds on but Craigslist is a good place to start. This will take a bit of work as there are hundreds of regions and you should post five or ten different classifieds in a number of different regions. Aim for the more populated regions and try to include keywords in your classifieds in all cases.

Is there room for you in Affiliate Marketing?

After paying nearly $2,000 for Google AdSense advertising, I found Attraction Marketing which is when you share your intent and purpose on social media web 2.0 sites and visitors get to know your head, heart and ideas so much so they feel like they’ve known you for years and they haven’t even met you.
It has been said that a picture paints a thousand words, so you can imagine that a video could communicate millions. Tony Robbins has said that 90% of our communcation is nonverbal.
‘My Story marketing’ on YouTube is in my experience the best way to get immediate website traffic to the site you are promoting. You can get hundreds of website hits in a matter of your first few hours if you know what you are doing.
I’ve made 6 YouTube videos of minor importance but have already gotten 1,000s of visitors to my site and sold tons of products all during the first two months of my training with: http://www.AttractionMarketingAcademy.com
Click on the link above and enjoy 4 hours of free video tutorials to get you started right. It is the same web 2.0 marketing system that I used to get started after buying 3 or 4 courses in social marketing, I found these secrets to be the best to develop tons of free massive traffic and get people calling you rather than you chasing people and irritating them.
Attract business rather than wearing yourself down and bugging your friends.
Avoid the arguements and tension that comes unavoidably as you prospect your warm market.
Be FREE of sizing up every single human being you get within 3 feet of as a possible suspect/prospect for your business opportunity.
Would you like to promote a charity, a new book, seminar or philosophy, then Attraction Marketing using the latest Web 2.0 social media marketing is the best way to spread awareness through the best viral marketing in the world.
Are you in the Reverse Funnel System with Frank Kern or are you doing Butterfly Marketing with Mike Filsaime, then you’ll do it better with free web traffic from My Story Marketing for free!
Many people involved with Ann Seig or Mike Dillard, Dennis Karganilla, DK, Franco Gonzales, Mike Klingler, Bardi Toto in Cash Gifting programs are using some form of Attraction Marketing. All of the top Abunza leaders use some variation of web 2.0 marketing through social media like YouTube, Hub Pages, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter marketing, Linkin, Plaxo, you name it the best are using this Internet Marketing technique.
