78 pages., Report of research by the authors in Great Britain, the Republic of Ireland and the United States of America, August-December 2012.
Important results of a survey on "Information needs and information behavior in extension service in agriculture, home economics and nutrition" are given. This study was carried out by the Department for Economic and Social Sciences of the Technical University of Munich-Weihenstephan from May, 1979 to November, 1981. It revealed, by interviewing 14 leading personnel of documentation centers for nutrition, agriculture and forestry, that extension agents only form a very small sector of the centers' user. Various surveys using personal as well as written interviews and participant observation of extension agents resulted in a host of data on the determinants of extension agents' behavior toward information in general and "prophylactic" and "curative" in particular. Conclusions are drawn on optimal configurations of the future sources of information in the field of extension services in nutrition, home economics, and agriculture.

With the intensification of economic relations between the People's Republic of China and the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, Beijing's role as a development donor has expanded in the region. The transparency of the Chinese donor services are limited since the transitions between development aid, investment and trade credits and direct investments are flowing. Focal points of Chinese engagement in Latin America and the Caribbean are upgrading the infrastructure projects in the extractive and energy sectors, education and training.

The economies of Latin America and the Caribbean have quickly recovered from the global financial crisis. With growth rates exceeding 6 percent from the previous year in 2010, the economies outpaced the OECD, which grew only by 2.3 percent. The growth prospects for the region are further analyzed.

Most economies in Latin America and the Caribbean were supported primarily by exports in 2005, and economic growth, though slower than in 2004, was at more than 4 % and still above the average annual growth rate from 1996-2005. While slower but still relatively robust growth is anticipated for 2006, the outlook is not particularly favorable for approaching the remarkable growth in other developing nations and regions as serious economic risks threaten development.
