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.
Agrimonde – Scenarios and Challenges for Feeding the World in 2050
How will the world be able to feed close to 9 billion people in 2050 and still maintain the ecosystems? In this perspective, INRA and CIRAD launched the initiative, in 2006, to develop a foresight project for analysing issues pertaining to the world's food and agricultural systems on the 2050 timeline. This book provides a synthetic presentation of the main conclusions that this foresight project has yielded. First, it recapitulates the main statistical references for the period 1961 to 2003, before going on to describe the Agribiom simulation tool used to calculate food biomass resource use balances. Two scenarios on the 2050 timeline are then considered: Agrimonde GO is a trend-based scenario that bets on economic growth to feed the world, in a context where environmental protection is not a priority; in contrast, the idea in Agrimonde 1 is to feed the world while preserving its ecosystems.

La démarche qualité dans la recherche publique et l'enseignement supérieur
Cet ouvrage dresse un premier état sur la mise en place des démarches qualité dans la recherche et l'enseignement supérieur en France. Il regroupe les déclarations de directions générales d'établissements publics, des expériences de laboratoires de recherche et d'enseignement supérieur ainsi que de plates-formes scientifiques certifiées ou accréditées, en relatant les difficultés rencontrées mais aussi les premiers succès remportés. Les entités françaises engagées dans une démarche qualité sont recensées, ce qui préfigure un futur annuaire à enrichir et à mettre à jour régulièrement. Ce premier recueil de « pratiques qualité » dans l'enseignement supérieur et la recherche publique montre la diversité des situations et la pluralité des approches. Le lecteur pourra ainsi enrichir sa réflexion et adapter ces expériences au contexte particulier de son environnement de travail.
