Environmental Co-operation and Institutional Change
'The book is well-written and makes a significant contribution to the development of the principles and practices of dealing with agri-environmental problems. It is of relevance to a wide circle of readers, including researchers and politicians but also students and others concerned with agri-environmental issues.' - Stefanie Engel and Ulrike Grote, Quarterly Journal of International Agriculture '. . . the book has the potential to provide something for everyone.' - Stefan Bäckmann, European Review of Agricultural Economics Although the history of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is dominated by a process of centralisation, growing pressures to integrate agri-environmental problems into the CAP have revealed the need to embrace decentralised approaches in an efficient federal structure. Indeed, in recent years it has become increasingly evident that the agricultural sector must undergo fundamental changes in order to enter an era of sustainable development.
Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Starving people in poor nations, obesity in rich nations, increasing food prices, on-going climate changes, increasing fuel and transportation costs, flaws of the global market, worldwide pesticide pollution, pest adaptation and resistance, loss of soil fertility and organic carbon, soil erosion, decreasing biodiversity, desertification, and so on. Despite unprecedented advances in sciences allowing to visit planets and disclose subatomic particles, serious terrestrial issues about food show clearly that conventional agriculture is n...
Penser et agir en agronome
Michel Sebillotte a été une personnalité marquante du monde agronomique au cours des dernières décennies. Pédagogue brillant à la pensée intarissable, leader charismatique et visionnaire, il a contribué à refonder les bases de l’agronomie, et a ouvert des perspectives de grande portée pour la recherche agronomique et le développement agricole. Dans tous les domaines où il a œuvré, il a laissé un apport conceptuel et méthodologique majeur, et fondé des communautés de travail à la fois durables et fécondes. Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions de plusieurs dizaines d’auteurs qui ont été ses élèves, collègues et amis. Il est composé de textes d’analyse sur le...
Rural and Farming Systems Analysis
The Farming Systems Research and Extension approach adopts a multidimensional perspective and has been widely used to bring about rural change in many developing countries. The approach has traditionally been less used in Europe where research has tended to concentrate on increasing production. However, with the current emphasis within the European Union on restricting surpluses and on environmental and social protection, circumstances are more appropriate to the farming systems approach. Changes to rural infrastructures and agricultural production in Central and Eastern Europe may also favor the approach. This book is the first to define the issues of farming systems research as they might ...
Modélisation des agroécosystèmes et aide à la décision
Du peuplement végétal au champ cultivé et de l'exploitation agricole au territoire, différents types et degrés d'interdisciplinarité sont mis en oeuvre, des sciences biophysiques aux sciences de gestion, pour mieux appréhender dynamiques agroécologiques et socioéconomiques. En s'appuyant sur des situations agricoles concrètes et des expériences variées dans des milieux tempérés ou tropicaux, cet ouvrage contribue à préciser les différentes manières de concevoir, d'élaborer et d'utiliser les modèles et la place de la modélisation dans l'aide à la décision au sein des agroécosystèmes.
Research on Agricultural Systems
The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of research on agricultural systems that is both broad and selective. The focus is broad, by covering approaches used in a number of disciplines, as well as in multidisciplinary studies, and by defining agricultural systems to include cropping systems, fanning systems, agricultural household systems, and agricultural systems at higher levels such as the agrarian system. The focus is selective by emphasizing key methods and ongoing debates, rather than attempting a comprehensive review of literature. Most previous reviews of research on agricultural systems have concentrated on a particular approach, eg farming systems research (FSR), including comparisons of anglophone and francophone variants of FSR, or on research conducted in specific geographical settings.
“Dig Where You Stand” 7
The history of mathematics education is an interdisciplinary research area that is experiencing a significant development and this book presents recent work in this area. This book is the result of the seventh conference ICHME (International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education) that took place at Erbacher Hof, Mainz (Germany) from 19th to 23rd of September 2022. Nowadays, the history of education is of the utmost importance for assessing the general development of the educational system(s) in which mathematics education occurs. Usually, the history of education is confined to history within a given civilization, country or nation. However, the quality of the research for a given nation is enhanced when situated among various specific cases, and comparative studies provide essential tools to broaden the perspectives to an international level. Moreover, mathematics, as a school discipline, has always functioned at the crossroads between general education and professional training, thus relating its teaching history to professional working environments as well. The 24 chapters in this book reflect this wide area of research.
Paysage et agriculture pour le meilleur !
Les enjeux auxquels la société est confrontée (changement climatique, épuisement des ressources fossiles, érosion de la biodiversité, pressions sur le foncier...) conduisent le monde agricole à se pencher sur ses orientations et à réfléchir à ses contributions au développement durable. Comment imaginer des systèmes d'exploitation capables de satisfaire les besoins en matières agricoles ? Comment limiter les risques écologiques et sanitaires tout en partageant l'espace pour mieux vivre ensemble ? Comment faciliter la mise en oeuvre de systèmes de production agroécologiques grâce aux connaissances des singularités naturelles et humaines de chaque exploitation, de chaque terr...
