Book excerpt: L'agriculture doit effectuer une véritable révolution technologique, et celle-ci doit être accompagnée de politiques agricoles nouvelles. [...] Partout dans le monde s'installe une nouvelle équation, en termes de besoins alimentaires, de besoins en terre, de rareté économique et de nouvelle technologie, qui débouche sur une nécessaire mutation. Ce livre tente de démontrer que cette nouvelle technologie devra être fondée sur l'écologie scientifique, et qu'elle nécessitera une politique agricole qui fera des agriculteurs les gestionnaires à la fois de la production et des écosystèmes. » Michel Griffon

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, especially with the approach of the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris in late 2015, the number of publications, conferences and meetings on climate change has been growing exponentially. Yet uncertainties remain concerning rural tropical areas where models are forecasting the onset of multiple disorders and trends are unclear. Meanwhile, the impact of climate change on the poorest communities is regularly documented, often prompting alarmist reactions. How can food security be achieved while adapting to and mitigating climate change? What are the main threats to agriculture in developing countries? How do farmers in these countries cope with the threats? What does agricultural research propose? What options have yet to be investigated? A broad scope of scientific research is underway to address these challenges. Diverse solutions are available, including new agricultural practices, water management, agricultural waste recycling, diagnosis of emerging diseases, payment for ecosystem services, etc. Gaining insight into the financial and political mechanisms that underlie international climate negotiations is also essential to design practical ways to deal with climate issues and meet sustainable development requirements in collaboration with farmers. This book pools the wealth of experience of dozens of researchers and development officers from a range of disciplines. We have focused on making it detailed, accurate and hopefully easy to read for researchers, students and all other informed readers.

Book excerpt: Poetics of the Earth is a work of environmental philosophy, based on a synthesis of eastern and western thought on natural and human history. It draws on recent biological research to show how the processes of evolution and history both function according to the same principles. Augustin Berque rejects the separation of nature and culture which he believes lies at the root of the environmental crisis. This book proposes a three stage process of "re-worlding" (moving away from the individualized self to become a part of the common world), "re-concretizing" (understanding the meaning and historical development of words and things) and "re-engaging" (reconsidering the relationship between history and subjectivity at every level of being) in order to bring western thought on nature and culture into sustainable harmony and alignment. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental studies, environmental philosophy, Asian studies and the natural sciences.

Book excerpt: This book outlines a new paradigm, “Agro-ecological Intensification of Crop Protection”, which reduces negative impacts on the environment and enhances the provision of ecosystem services. It discusses the use of ecologically based management strategies to increase the sustainability of agricultural production while reducing off-site consequences, highlighting the underlying principles and outlining some of the key management practices and technologies required to implement agro-ecological pest management. It also comprehensively explores important topics like stimulo-deterrent diversion strategy, precision agriculture, plant breeding, nutrient management, habitat management, cultural approaches, cultivar mixtures/multiline cultivars, crop rotation, crop residue management, crop diversity, cover crops, conservation tillage, biofumigation, agro-forestry, and addition of organic matter. This timely book promotes the rapid implementation of this technology in farming community around the globe. It is a valuable resource for the scientific community involved in teaching, research and extension activities related to agro-ecological pest management as well as policymakers and practicing farmers. It can also be used for teaching post-graduate courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is only recently that the immense economic value of pollination to agriculture has been appreciated. At the same time, the alarming collapse in populations of bees and other pollinators has highlighted the urgency of addressing this issue. This book focuses on the specific measures and practices that the emerging science of pollination ecology is identifying to conserve and promote animal pollinators in agroecosystems. It reviews the expanding knowledge base on pollination services, providing evidence to document the status, trends and importance of pollinators to sustainable agricultural production. It provides practical and specific measures that land managers can undertake to ensure that agroecosystems are supportive and friendly to pollinators. It draws on the Global Pollination Project, supported by UNEP/GEF and implemented by FAO and seven partner countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa), which serve to provide "lessons from the field".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Réchauffement climatique, pollution, érosion de la biodiversité, épuisement des ressources, explosion des maladies liées à l’environnement... notre planète est aujourd’hui en danger. Et l’accroissement de la population mondiale n’arrange pas les choses !Pourtant, la Terre pourra demain nourrir tous ses habitants sans poursuivre sa course folle aux engrais, aux pesticides, à la déforestation et au défrichement. Comment ? En s’inspirant du vivant, en intensifiant les processus naturels. Il s’agit, par exemple, de stimuler l’activité biologique du sol en associant des variétés complémentaires et en recyclant systématiquement les débris végétaux, de lutter contre les ravageurs en accentuant la lutte biologique et la lutte intégrée. Il est possible de produire plus et mieux avec moins : un développement agricole plus productif tout en étant écologique et équitable peut voir le jour si l’on s’inspire de la nature et de son fonctionnement.Au-delà des techniques, il s’agit finalement de promouvoir une agriculture durable, dans un cadre d’écosystèmes eux aussi durables, pour des sociétés économiquement et socialement viables. Michel Griffon est à la fois ingénieur agronome et économiste. Chercheur reconnu sur le plan international, il défend l’idée qu’un développement agricole écologique et plus productif peut exister.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates soil ecology and biodiversity for its ability to maintain a balance of beneficial organisms to support plant growth. This subject is discussed by a group of international authors in natural, agricultural and urban systems. The importance of biodiversity per se and, specifically, the feedbacks between the plant and soil biota in mediating soil function are emphasized. Examples are selected from allelopathy and invasive plant species along with the, hitherto overlooked, role of viruses in soil. The book is intended to provide a framework for a holistic understanding of the essential role of soil organisms in promoting plant growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering an overall insight into the French tradition of philosophy of technology, this volume is meant to make French-speaking contributions more accessible to the international philosophical community. The first section, “Negotiating a Cultural Heritage,” presents a number of leading 20th century philosophical figures (from Bergson and Canguilhem to Simondon, Dagognet or Ellul) and intellectual movements (from Personalism to French Cybernetics and political ecology) that help shape philosophy of technology in the Francophone area, and feed into contemporary debates (ecology of technology, politics of technology, game studies). The second section, “Coining and Reconfiguring Technoscience,” traces the genealogy of this controversial concept and discusses its meanings and relevance. A third section, “Revisiting Anthropological Categories,” focuses on the relationships of technology with the natural and the human worlds from various perspectives that include anthropotechnology, Anthropocene, technological and vital norms and temporalities. The final section, “Innovating in Ethics, Design and Aesthetics,” brings together contributions that draw on various French traditions to afford fresh insights on ethics of technology, philosophy of design, techno-aesthetics and digital studies. The contributions in this volume are vivid and rich in original approaches that can spur exchanges and debates with other philosophical traditions.

This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses situations of coexistence and confrontation of agricultural and food models according to four major dimensions of territorial development: the tension between specialisation and diversification; innovation; adaptation; and food transition. New agricultural and food models are being deployed in territories around the world in response to criticisms of the old forms of agriculture and food production, and in order to meet new challenges. These models embody archetypes of the observed diversity, actors’ projects or new norms. A number of conceptual studies and case studies from France and other countries allow us to understand the interactions between these models (confrontation, complementarity, co-evolution, hybridisation, etc.), taking us well beyond the characterisation of their diversity and the evaluation of their relative performances. The coexistence and confrontation of these models build up their capacity for radical change. The book asks original questions about the analytical framework, its methodological challenges and the expected outcomes for the support of agricultural and food development in rural and urban territories. It is intended for researchers, teachers, students and professionals interested in territorial development. Pierre Gasselin, Sylvie Lardon, Claire Cerdan, Salma Loudiyi and Denis Sautier are the scientific coordinators of this book. They are geographers and economists at CIRAD, INRAE and VetAgro Sup, where they conduct research on the transformation of agriculture, food systems and territories in France and other countries. This book is the result of a collective research process involving 36 authors from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Burkina Faso, France, Japan, Switzerland and Vietnam. Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, author of the Foreword, is Professor Emeritus of Rural Sociology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and Associate Professor of Agricultural Sociology at the China Agricultural University in Beijing. He has conducted extensive research on processes of agricultural transition and on dynamics of rural development.

Book excerpt: " Une analyse et une anticipation que devra consulter toute personne préoccupée par l'avenir du monde... Le livre le plus méthodique, le plus honnête, le plus alerte de "vulgarisation' de tous les livres consacrés au problème. " Extrait de la préface d'Edgard Pisani Nourrir les Français ? La tâche est relativement facile depuis qu'a disparu la malédiction millénaire qui rendait chacun inquiet de sa subsistance quotidienne. Nourrir l'humanité ? Un défi bien plus complexe face au scandale des 850 millions de personnes qui ne peuvent manger à leur faim et aux trois milliards d'humains supplémentaires qu'il faudra nourrir en 2050. Cela frise l'impossible, alors que la planète va manquer d'eau, de terre et d'énergie et que nous devrons affronter les effets de nos inconséquences actuelles : réchauffement de la planète, pollution, érosion, perte de la biodiversité... Dans ce livre sont présentés tous les aspects de ce gigantesque défi, sans doute le plus important du XXIe siècle et pour lequel l'agriculture sera à nouveau appelée à occuper le devant de la scène. Sont ainsi exposées très pédagogiquement les questions de l'avenir des subventions agricoles au sein d'un commerce " mondialisé ", des rapports de l'agriculture avec l'agro-industrie et la grande distribution, du risque de crises sanitaires de grande ampleur, de l'extension de la production OGM, mais aussi de l'émergence de nouveaux pays exportateurs (Chine, Brésil), etc. Un ouvrage aussi complet qu'accessible, qui passionnera agriculteurs et urbains, citoyens et décideurs.

Book excerpt: Depuis une vingtaine d’années, de nombreux débats ont lieu pour envisager la façon dont la planète pourrait permettre de nourrir 10 milliards d’individus à l’horizon 2050. Ces débats réunissent le plus souvent des sociologues ou des politologues, des économistes, des agronomes et plus rarement des scientifi ques biologistes. François Ramade analyse les dimensions écologiques et l’importance des désordres environnementaux générés par l’agriculture « conventionnelle » moderne dite productionniste ainsi que celles de la crise alimentaire globale qui s’annonce. Il met en lumière l’inadéquation de plus en plus forte entre les ressources et la pression démographique. Il fait aussi le point sur l’impact de l’augmentation de la population sur le climat, via les émissions de gaz à effet de serre, et sur ses conséquences pour la sécurité alimentaire mondiale. Enfi n, il expose les modalités par lesquelles une révolution dans les méthodes de production végétales et animales, fondée sur l’application des grandes lois de l’écologie, permettrait au plus vite l’impérative émergence d’un modèle universel d’agriculture durable.
