Rural Economic Development
NARA | GOAL THREE August 2011 - March 2013 Cumulative Report RURAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Northwest Advance Renewables Alliance NARA is led by Washington State University and supported by the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative Competitive Grant no. 2011-68005-30416 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Goal Three: Rural Economic Development: Enhance and sustain rural economic development Summary Sustainability is the crucial attribute necessary for the emerging biofuels industry to develop our rural economy. The NARA project is assessing sustainability of this emerging industry using a triple bottom line approach of assessing economic viability (techno-economic analysis – TEA), environmental impact (life cycle analysis – LCA), and social impact (community impact analysis – CIA). In addition to developing these three primary analytical tools, additional primary data is being collected. These data include social and market data through the Environmentally Preferred Products (EPP) team and environmental data through the Sustainable Production Team. The following efforts within the Systems Metrics program are integrated to provide a sustainability analysis of the project: The Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) Team assesses the overall economics of the biofuels production process from feedstock delivered to the mill gate through to biojet sale. This analysis includes the overall production mass and energy balance as well as the value needs for co-products. The TEA models the capital requirement plus the variable and fixed operating costs for producing biojet from forest residuals using our chosen pathways. The Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Community Impact Team assesses the environmental impact of producing aviation biofuels with our chosen pathway and compares it to the petroleum products for which it will substitute. -

SÉRIE ANTROPOLOGIA 197 SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WITH ABORIGINAL PEOPLES IN CANADA: FIRST IMPRESSIONS Stephen Grant Baines (English version of Série Antropologia 196) Brasília 1996 SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY WITH ABORIGINAL PEOPLES IN CANADA: FIRST IMPRESSIONS Stephen G. Baines1 Research survey in Canada I carried out a preliminary research survey of five weeks duration - July and August 1995 - in some of the principal academic centres of anthropology with aboriginal peoples in Canada, financed with a Faculty Research Scholarship from the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a research grant from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq). I refer to my stay in Canada as a preliminary research survey, since such a short stay could not be classified as research. In this paper I in no way aim to outline a history of the discipline, a task already done by many Canadian anthropologists, and which I am by no means qualified to do, but merely comment on my first impressions from an outsider perspective, and try to piece together and juxtapose some of the viewpoints of anthropologists interviewed. I visited the departments of anthropology at the Université de Montréal and McGill University in Montreal, Laval University in Quebec city, the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto, in Ontario, and also visited Ottawa. From Toronto, I travelled by coach across Canada to British Columbia, where I made short visits to the university Program of First Nation Studies of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Cultural Education Society and Simon Fraser University (SCES/SFU), in Kamloops; the Shuswap reserves of Adam's Lake and Skeetchestn; the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) in Prince George; the Witsuwit'en reserve of Moricetown; the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver; as well as Victoria, capital of BC. -

They express those connections in many different ways, including ceremonies and celebrations that can involve singing and dancing, giving thanks, feasting, gift giving, storytelling, and games. In the United States and Canada, there are more than 1,100 individual tribes—each with its own set of practices that show appreciation for the natural world and those spirits that lie within it. -

Introduction Like law and politics, economics is an aspect of social organization. Those who conceive economics as essentially concerned with money and prices are on firm logical ground in saying that there can be no society which do not exchange goods for money and so cannot make exact calculations of price. -

Notes and References
Notes and References 1. Introduction 1. Seasonal variation and the division of labour among hunter-gatherers receives detailed attention in Chapter 5 (see also Condon, 1983). The particular point in this passage comes from the ethnographie film entitled People ofthe Seal, by Asen Balikci (see also Balikci, 1970). The famous Northwest Coast potlatch does not receive detailed treatment in this book, but some traditional analyses as weIl as new findings should be mentioned. Some traditional sources include: Boas, 1897, 1966; Drucker, 1955, 1965; DeLaguna, 1972; Oberg, 1973; Sapir and Swadesh, 1939; Codere, 1950; Mitchell and Donald, 1988. The fact that post-contact Northwest Coast economies encompass a complex mix of organisational features is documented by Donald (1984) and Mitchell 1984 (see also Isaac, 1988). The literature on the Trobriand Islands is substantial. The specific reference here is to Bronislaw Malinowski, Argonauts of the Western Pacifie (1922) and Coral Gardens and Their Magie (1935); see also Uberoi (1962). For material on the Dani see Karl Heider (1979). Barbara Myerhoff's book, Number Dur Days (1978), is the reference for the elderly Californian. On the Mudurucu see Murphy and Murphy (1974). The description ofthe Mexican grand mother's multiple roles is in Friedlander (1976). 2. Patch exploitation refers to optimal foraging models of hunter-gatherer economies. I deal more extensively with elements of optimal foraging models in Chapter 4. Discussions of classical political economy (Adam Smith and others) and of marginal utility economics (Alfred Marshall and others), I leave to the historians of economic thought. I elaborate the meaning of the concept of institution in the discussion of the institutional paradigm in Chapter 3. -
(18/22) Economy: Definition, Kula and Potlatch
GENERAL SCOPE AND USES OF SOCIAL & CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY Course Name: ANTHROPOLOGY Paper No. & Title: B.A. / B.Sc. 3rd Semester (Theory) Topic No. & Title: (18/22) Economy: Definition, Kula and Potlatch. 1. Introduction: The nature of economic transactions and economic processes covers production, consumption, distribution and exchange of products. Anthropologists concentrate on these activities mainly in primitive and peasant societies. They focus on the modes of exchanges including ceremonial exchanges. The concepts of reciprocity and redistribution are crucial here. The natures of trade and market systems are also studied. The processes of economic growth and development in societies are ultimately studied. What is important to note here is that the economic activities of man are not studied in isolation but in their socio-cultural setting with the emphasis on those socio-cultural factors that influence and determine economic activity in each society. It was Bronislaw Malinowski who first propagated the idea that ‘economic activity is a social phenomenon’, and is intimately associated with other aspects of the culture. Economic organization is set in a social framework, of relations between persons and between groups expressed in different conceptual ways and emphasizes on values, symbols, rule of conduct and pattern of behavior. The basic concept of economics is the allocation of scarce resources between realizable human wants with the recognition that alternatives are opposite in each sphere. It thus implies human choice, with the results of decisions. Choices, wants and their implications in action involve personal relations and social relations. 2. Definition of Economy: According to Raymond Scupin, “Economy of a society consists of the social relationships that organize the production, distribution, and exchange of goods and services” (2000,145). -
