Book excerpt: Pourquoi l'homme est-il devenu agriculteur ? A quels sommets inouïs de productivité quelques millions d'agriculteurs motorisés, mécanisés et spécialisés, sont-ils parvenus à la fin du XXe siècle ? En retraçant la prodigieuse épopée qui va des premières domestications de plantes et d'animaux aux agricultures différenciées d'aujourd'hui, ce livre montre que la crise actuelle de l'économie mondiale s'enracine dans la mise en concurrence inconsidérée des héritages agraires des différentes régions du monde. Les auteurs proposent une stratégie mondiale capable de développer l'économie paysanne pauvre et de relancer l'économie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only once we understand the long history of human efforts to draw sustenance from the land can we grasp the nature of the crisis that faces humankind today, as hundreds of millions of people are faced with famine or flight from the land. From Neolithic times through the earliest civilizations of the ancient Near East, in savannahs, river valleys and the terraces created by the Incas in the Andean mountains, an increasing range of agricultural techniques have developed in response to very different conditions. These developments are recounted in this book, with detailed attention to the ways in which plants, animals, soil, climate, and society have interacted. Mazoyer and Roudart’s A History of World Agriculture is a path-breaking and panoramic work, beginning with the emergence of agriculture after thousands of years in which human societies had depended on hunting and gathering, showing how agricultural techniques developed in the different regions of the world, and how this extraordinary wealth of knowledge, tradition and natural variety is endangered today by global capitialism, as it forces the unequal agrarian heritages of the world to conform to the norms of profit. During the twentieth century, mechanization, motorization and specialization have brought to a halt the pattern of cultural and environmental responses that characterized the global history of agriculture until then. Today a small number of corporations have the capacity to impose the farming methods on the planet that they find most profitable. Mazoyer and Roudart propose an alternative global strategy that can safegaurd the economies of the poor countries, reinvigorate the global economy, and create a livable future for mankind.

Christian Ferault et Denis Le Chatelier nous conduisent, à travers les temps, dans les campagnes du monde et de la France.

Ils ont puisé dans l'histoire de tous les pays du monde pour reconstruire le fil de ces évolutions et mettre en lumière les motivations et les conditions qui ont poussé et continueront immanquablement de pousser l'homme à faire évoluer les agricultures. Réalisées par Gaétan Nocq, les superbes illustrations que vous découvrirez vous replaceront dans la réalité des hommes et des techniques des différentes époques !"
Book Synopsis Les révolutions agricoles by : Pierre Barbe
Download or read book Les révolutions agricoles written by Pierre Barbe and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La première révolution agricole est la " révolution néolithique " : l'apparition de l'agriculture et de l'élevage à la fin de la préhistoire. L'histoire des agricultures du monde est jalonnée par une succession de systèmes agraires résultant de l'évolution des savoir-faire et des moyens mis en œuvre : culture des sols, innovations techniques, modes de consommation des produits et commercialisation des surplus... Chaque nouvelle révolution est marquée par un changement d'échelle économique et par une diminution du nombre des agriculteurs. Si elle ne réussit pas à concilier les besoins de subsistance d'une grande partie de la population mondiale et les exigences du marché, la mondialisation actuelle aboutira à une crise agraire majeure aux conséquences humaines incalculables.

Book excerpt: Il y a moins de 10 000 ans, certains groupes humains sont devenus agriculteurs. Leurs descendants ont répandu cultures et élevages à travers les forêts, les prairies et les steppes du monde, puis ont aménagé vallées et montagnes. De nos jours, presque toute la nourriture de l'humanité est produite par 1 milliard 300 millions d'agriculteurs qui, avec leurs familles, représentent près de la moitié de la population mondiale. La très grande majorité d'entre eux travaille uniquement avec un outillage à main. Quelles agricultures pratiquaient les anciens Égyptiens ? Et les Incas ? Comment cultive-t-on le riz en Asie ? Quelles formes d'agricultures ont été développées en Europe au fil des siècles ? Ce livre retrace la grande épopée des agricultures, des premières domestications de plantes et d'animaux jusqu'aux agricultures si différenciées du monde d'aujourd'hui.

Book Synopsis Comparative Agriculture by : Hubert Cochet
Download or read book Comparative Agriculture written by Hubert Cochet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first section dedicated to theoretical thoughts on comparative agriculture, Hubert Cochet introduces the notion of “agricultural development”, the very subject of comparative agriculture, with a restored endogenous dimension. He then describes how this approach was slowly consolidated, around the concept of agrarian system in particular. The comparison of agricultural transformations in time and space highlights the importance of the comparatist approach to production processes, their trajectories and differentiation on a worldwide scale. The second section which focuses on the methods and expertise of comparative agriculture, tackles the issues of landscape analysis, field surveys and the historical approach underlying comparative agriculture. It sums up the economic tools mobilised as well as the evaluation perspectives opened up by comparative agriculture.
Book Synopsis A Cultural History of Food in Antiquity by : Paul Erdkamp
Download or read book A Cultural History of Food in Antiquity written by Paul Erdkamp and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Archaic Greece until the Late Roman Empire (c. 800 BCE to c. 500 CE), food was more than a physical necessity; it was a critical factor in politics, economics and culture. On the one hand, the Mediterranean landscape and climate encouraged particular crops – notably cereals, vines and olives – but, with the risks of crop failure ever-present, control of food resources was vital to economic and political power. On the other hand, diet and dining reflected complex social hierarchies and relationships. What was eaten, with whom and when was a fundamental part of the expression of one's role and place in society. In addition, symbolism and ritual suffused foodstuffs, their preparation and consumption. A Cultural History of Food in Antiquity presents an overview of the period with essays on food production, food systems, food security, safety and crises, food and politics, eating out, professional cooking, kitchens and service work, family and domesticity, body and soul, representations of food, and developments in food production and consumption globally.
Book Synopsis Art, Farming and Food for the Future by : Barbara L. Benish
Download or read book Art, Farming and Food for the Future written by Barbara L. Benish and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of artistic experiments in inspiring people to turn away from current food consumerism and take an active role in preserving, sustaining, and protecting the environment. As artists are expanding their practice into social justice and community concerns, erasing traditional forms of expression and integrating others, the culture around food and its production has been added to a new vocabulary of experiential art. The authors measure the impact of such experiments on local food consumption and production, focusing on education and youth, both in the surrounding community and culture at large. They suggest how these projects can be up-scaled to further encourage sustainable solutions for our environment and communities. The book explores the reflections and motivations of case study practitioners in urban and rural areas and, through interviews, engages with artists who are pioneering a new trend to create hubs of activity away from traditional art spaces in cities to follow a non-hierarchal practice that is de-centralized and communally based. This book will be of great interest to academic readers concerned with issues related to environmental aesthetics, eco-design, eco-criticism, culture, heritage, memory, and identity, and those interested in the current debates on the place of aesthetics and culture in sustainability.

Book Synopsis Soil Biology and Agriculture in the Tropics by : Patrice Dion
Download or read book Soil Biology and Agriculture in the Tropics written by Patrice Dion and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationships between soils, microbes and humans are of crucial relevance in the tropics, where plant stress and microbial activity are exacerbated. This volume of Soil Biology presents the living component of tropical soils, showing how it is shaped by environmental conditions and emphasizing its dramatic impact on human survival and well-being. Following an introduction to the specificities of tropical soils and of their microbial communities, the biological aspects of soil management are examined, dealing with land use change, conservation and slash-and-burn agriculture, the restoration of hot deserts, agroforestry and paddy rice cultivation. As they are of particular relevance for tropical agriculture, symbioses of plants and microbes are thoroughly covered, as are the biodegradation of pesticides and health risks associated with wastewater irrigation. Lastly, traditional soil knowledge is discussed as a key to our sustainable presence in this world.
