Food System Sustainability
As western-style food systems extend further around the world, food sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. Such systems are not sustainable in terms of their consumption of resources, their impact on ecosystems or their effect on health and social inequality. From 2009 to 2011, the duALIne project, led by INRA and CIRAD, assembled a team of experts to investigate food systems downstream of the farm, from the farm gate, to consumption and the disposal of waste. Representing a diverse range of backgrounds spanning academia and the public and private sectors, the project aimed to review the international literature and identify major gaps in our knowledge. This book brings together its key conclusions and insights, presenting state-of-the-art research in food sustainability and identifying priority areas for further study. It will provide a valuable resource for researchers, decision-makers and stakeholders in the food industry.
Tomato
The tomato is a valuable vegetable, popular all over the world. This book covers interesting research topics including tomato plant nutrition, production and chemical composition, tomato plant protection, and sustainable tomato processing technologies. This book will be of value to researchers, academics, and students in the field of agronomy, food, pharmacy, and other sectors.
The Computerized Greenhouse
The aim of this book is to open up research areas in automatic control engineering for crop production systems in horticulture and agriculture, and to explain the principle ideas of advanced automatic control in plant production. The text includes detailed discussions of:- Fundamental systems engineering concepts- Modeling- Control for agricultural systems- Optimal control and its applications- Artificial intelligence for agricultural applications
One Health
One Health A balanced and multidisciplinary exploration of the One Health concept In One Health: Human, Animal, and Environment Triad, a team of distinguished researchers introduces and explains the concept of One Health by providing an overview of the One Health idea from the perspective of diverse disciplines, from earth and environmental science to ecology and conservation to veterinary and human medicine. The authors also present case studies demonstrating the real-world challenges and opportunities of this interdisciplinary approach to sustainable human well-being. Readers will find insightful discussions of the interactions between chemical pollutants and water, soil, and the atmospher...

Fruits et légumes
Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une étude menée par des chercheurs de l'Inra, avec la collaboration de nombreux acteurs professionnels et institutionnels impliqués dans les filières fruits et légumes. Il décrit l'organisation de ces filières en France et en analyse les caractéristiques essentielles : consommation, commercialisation, production, transformation, concurrence internationale. L'accent est mis sur les principales sources de préoccupation à prendre en compte pour permettre à ces filières de poursuivre leur développement dans un contexte de concurrence accrue. Cette étude intéressera aussi bien les organismes scientifiques, techniques ou institutionnels, que les structures professionnelles et les établissements d'enseignement.
Agroecological Crop Protection
This book is devoted to Agroecological Crop Protection, which is the declension of the principles of agroecology to crop protection. It presents the concepts of this innovative approach, case studies and lessons and generic keys for agroecological transition. The book is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, experimenters, teachers, farmers, students. It represents a new tool, proposing concrete keys of action on the basis of feedbacks validated scientifically. Beyond the examples presented, it is therefore of general scope and proposes recommendations for all temperate and tropical cropping systems. It contributes to the training and teaching modules in this field and it is an updated information support for professionals and a teaching aid for students (agronomy, crop protection, biodiversity management, agroecology).
Mathematical and Control Applications in Agriculture and Horticulture
A wide ranging programme was planned, covering the principal areas where mathematical models or control engineering can have a major impact on agricultural and horticultural processes and their management. Emphasis was placed on applications of models and control in agriculture. Focal areas for the meeting included: models and control of post-harvest processing and grading, climate control in plant production and animal houses, mathematical models relating to the environmental impacts of agriculture, sensing and control methodologies appropriate to agricultural systems, information technology, impact of uncertainty and forecasting in models, demonstration of novel developments in software for agriculture and horticulture, and practical implementations of models and control. The meeting was structured to maintain maximum interaction between participants in the focal areas of the programme - and to permit presentations across a wide range, from control methodologies to practical implementation of models.

La filière protéagineuse
Cet ouvrage offre une description de la filière protéagineuse, puis analyse de manière prospective ses enjeux et ses défis. Il traite des leviers, notamment au niveau de la recherche, qui permettraient de renforcer la compétitivité de ces cultures. Les auteurs évaluent les paramètres de la production agricole ainsi que les possibilités d'élargir les utilisations des protéagineux en alimentation animale et humaine. A titre plus prospectif, ils examinent de nouveaux débouchés dans le secteur non alimentaire qui permettraient d'exploiter au mieux le potentiel de ces productions. Enfin, dans un contexte de mondialisation des échanges et de découplage des aides, ils plaident pour l'instauration d'un argumentaire neuf sur les intérêts environnementaux de ces cultures (absence de besoins en fertilisation azotée et contribution de ces espèces à la biodiversité).Destiné aux professionnels du secteur et aux étudiants, ce livre intéressera l'ensemble du monde agricole et les décideurs politiques et, de façon plus générale, tous les lecteurs préoccupés par les problèmes économiques et environnementaux liés à l'évolution de l'agriculture.
