This book links tropical agri-chain dynamics – with which CIRAD and AFD have been involved for decades – to that of sustainable development. Increased environmental and social concerns urge agri-chain actors and development practitioners to design innovations, and public and private actors to invent regulations in connection with agri-chains to improve sustainability.With a view to contributing towards implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book examines the different roles of agri-chains: as vectors of development, as spaces of innovation, as objects of evaluation, and as arenas of regulation. It builds upon the findings and experiences of CIRAD and its researchers together with their Southern partners, and of AFD and its officers.Linking agricultural production with the other economic sectors, agri- chains are key spaces where local and global challenges to sustainability meet and where local and global actors experiment interlinked or common solutions.
Recueil des communications orales données lors du 6e séminaire d'animation régionale du réseau Génie des procédés appliqués à l'agro-alimentaire à Dakar en 2007. Les intervenants examinent les procédés de transformation des matières premières et proposent des techniques pour améliorer la qualité et la sécurité alimentaire.
Documenting the latest research in the field of different pathogenic organisms, this book presents the current scenario about promising antimicrobials in the following areas: Part I. Plants as source of antibacterials, Part II. Naturally occurring antifungal natural products, Part III. Antiparasitic natural products, Part IV. Antiviral natural products. Renowned scientists from the globe have been selected as authors to contribute chapters. Use of plants for various ailments is as old as human civilization and continuous efforts are being made to improve medicinal plants or to product their bioactive secondary metabolites in high amounts through various technologies. About 200,000 natural pr...

Derrière les produits que nous consommons, des filières tropicales agissent sur le développement durable des pays du Sud. Liens entre les agricultures et les autres secteurs économiques, les filières tropicales connaissent des transformations profondes, aussi bien techniques qu’économiques et sociales. Dans un contexte de mondialisation, les filières sont impliquées dans des démarches de développement durable et intègrent des préoccupations environnementales et sociales. Cet ouvrage repose sur les avancées scientifiques et des situations concrètes des filières agroalimentaires dans les pays du Sud.

This book is based on the George Fisher Baker Lecture given by Jean-Michel Savéant at Cornell University in Fall 2002. * The first book focusing on molecular electrochemistry * Relates to other fields, including photochemistry and biochemistry * Outlines clearly the connection between concepts, experimental illustrations, proofs and supporting methods * Appendixes to provide rigorous demonstrations to prevent an overload of algebra in the main text * Applications-oriented, focused on analyzing the results obtained rather than the methodology
