Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La difficulté des négociations commerciales agricoles consiste à concilier l'objectif général de libéralisation des échanges avec la nécessité de maintenir des politiques agricoles au Nord comme au Sud. Mais comment favoriser le développement économique et la sécurité alimnentaire au Sud tout en maintenant une politique agricole au Nord, préservant son tissu agricole et rural, quand les prix mondiaux des produits agricoles chutent et provoquent une dépression mondiale de l'agriculture? Privées des outils essentiels gue sont les systèmes de gestion de l'offre et de stabilisation des prix, les politique agricoles sont aujourd'hui impuissantes face à la question cruciale du prix de ces produits. Pour se maintenir et fonctionner, tout système économique et commercial nécessite des règles juridiques appropriées et le droit doit fournir des instruments pour organiser le commerce des produits agricoles. La véritable solution au problème de la crise agricole ne peut être qu'internationale et l'OMC est la mieux placée pour organiser le commerce des produits agricoles, commerce indispensable au développement économique des pays pauvres. Les articles XXXVI et XXXVIII du GATT/OMC reconnaissent la spécificité du commerce des produits agricoles et admettent l'élaboration d'un droit international de l'organisation du commerce des produits agricoles par le recours à des arrangements internationaux. Ces règles juridiques expriment la volonté de défendre une conception normative du libéralisme et autorisent une libéralisation conventionnelle favorable au commerce des produits agricoles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A partir des années quatre-vingt, la politique agricole européenne, la PAC soumise à la charge d'excédents croissants, cherche à se réformer en freinant la production. Mais les tentatives menées s'avèrent peu concluantes. 1992, sous la pression des négociations de l'Uruguay Round, cette fois-ci c'est une nouvelle PAC qui voit le jour ; elle est orientée vers l'insertion de l'agriculture européenne dans le jeu des échanges mondiaux. 1999 poursuit et accentue la réforme engagée en 1992 en réduisant les prix et en accroissant les aides. Pour autant cette PAC doublement réformée est-elle en état de résister victorieusement aux assauts du millenium Round (de l'OMC) qui vraisemblablement va soumettre les politiques agricoles du monde entier à une nouvelle cure de libéralisme et de libre-échange ? Clairement, quelles chances l'agriculture de notre continent (en voie d'élargissement) a-t-elle de pouvoir prospérer dans un monde sans frontières, alors que sa compétitivité est loin d'être assurée dans tous les secteurs ? Et surtout, les responsables européens sauront-ils surmonter par des mesures habiles, la contradiction pouvant apparaître entre une conception mondialiste des échanges et un certain " modèle européen d'agriculture multifonctionnelle " plus proche du local que du global ? C'est à une réflexion sur ces thèmes que vous invite le présent ouvrage.

Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "La conférence AGRAR en 2013 a été prévue dans la conduite du Projet AFOMDnet dans le cadre du Programme ACP pour la Science et la Technologie avec le soutien de l’Union Européenne. Elle n’aurait cependant pu avoir lieu sans l’adhésion et le soutien − directs ou indirects − mais aussi la participation d’un nombre conséquent d’institutions du Nord et du Sud. La conférence AGRAR (pour « AGRiculture, Alimentation et Recherche »), une conférence par et pour la recherche agronomique en Afrique, a été conçue pour perdurer. Il est espéré que le partage des travaux conduits en Afrique se poursuive. C’est l’objectif de la publication de ces Actes."

Book excerpt: Au cours des deux derniers siècles, le champ des agronomies a été traversé par de nombreuses révolutions qui ont constitué autant de ruptures importantes. Alors que ces disciplines se trouvent aujourd'hui face à l'émergence de nouveaux paradigmes comme celui du développement durable, il était important d'amener agronomes et historiens à confronter leurs savoirs pour mieux analyser les changements sociaux et techniques qui ont découlé de ces ruptures. Si pour l'historien, les ruptures s'inscrivent essentiellement dans la durée, pour l'agronome, elles répondent davantage à des questions pratiques de production et de protection des espaces naturels. Et les sciences de l'agronomie ont beaucoup à gagner en intégrant le regard des historiens à leurs propres perceptions des hommes, des concepts et des techniques. Cet ouvrage présente le résultat des réflexions croisées de quelque trente spécialistes européens de ces deux disciplines, réunis à Montpellier deux cents ans après la parution du travail fondateur de Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure (1804).

Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of research conducted by scholars and activists associated with the Agrarian South Network, based mainly in Africa, Asia and Latina America. The research articulates a Southern perspective on the “new scramble” for Africa, with a view to strengthen tri-continental solidarities. The book explains the significance of the new scramble in terms of the economic structures inherited from the late-nineteenth-century scramble and the subsequent post-independence period. The renewed competition for Africa’s land and natural resources and the resumption of economic growth at the turn of the millennium have revived concerns regarding the continent’s position in the world economy and the prospects for its development in the twenty-first century. In this regard, the book addresses two related issues: the character of the expansion of Southern competitors in relation to the more established Western strategies; and the impact of the renewed influx of investments in land, minerals, and associated infrastructure. The findings are presented with empirical rigor and conceptual clarity, to enable the reader to grasp what really is at stake in the twenty-first century – an epic struggle to reclaim Africa from the monopolies that exercise control over its land, minerals, labour, and destiny.

This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After five years of debates, consultations and negotiations, the European institutions reached an agreement in 2013 on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) for the 2014-2020 period. The outcome has major implications for the EU’s budget and farmers’ incomes, but also for Europe’s environment, its contribution to global climate change and to food security in the EU and in the world. It was decided to spend more than €400 billion during the rest of the decade on the CAP. The official claims are that the new CAP will take better account of society's expectations and lead to far-reaching changes by making subsidies fairer and ‘greener’ and making the CAP more efficient. It is also asserted that the CAP will play a key part in achieving the overall objective of promoting smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. However, there is significant scepticism about these claims and disappointment with the outcome of the decision-making, the first in which the European Parliament was involved under the co-decision procedure. In contrast to earlier reforms where more substantive changes were made to the CAP, the factors that induced the policy discussions in 2008-13 and those that influenced the decision-making did not reinforce each other. On the contrary, they sometimes counteracted one another, yielding an ‘imperfect storm’ as it were, resulting in more status quo and fewer changes. This book discusses the outcome of the decision-making and the factors that influenced the policy choices and decisions. It brings together contributions from leading academics from various disciplines and policy-makers, and key participants in the process from the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Download or read book Seasonal Workers in Mediterranean Agriculture written by Jörg Gertel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades there has been a rapid expansion of intensive production of fresh fruit and vegetables in the Mediterranean regions of south and west Europe. Much of this depends on migrating workers for seasonal labour, including from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Latin America. This book is the first to address global agro-migration complexes across the region. It is argued that both intensive agricultural production and related working conditions are highly dynamic. Regional patterns have developed from small-scale family farming to become an industrialized part of the global agri-food system, which increasingly depends on seasonal labour. Simultaneously, consumer demand for year-round supply has caused relocations of the industry within Europe; areas of intensive greenhouse production have moved further south and even into North Africa. The authors investigate this Mediterranean agri-food system that transcends borders and is largely constituted by invisible seasonal work. By revealing the story of food commodities loaded with implications of private profit seeking, exploitation, exclusion and multiple insecurities, the book unmasks the hidden costs of fresh food provisioning. Three case study areas are considered in detail: the French region of Provence, a traditional centre of fresh fruit and vegetable cultivation; the Spanish Almería region where intensive production has, accelerated dramatically since the 1970s; and Morocco where counter-seasonal production has recently been expanding. The book also includes commentaries that refer to complemetary insights on US-Mexico, Philippines-Canada and South Pacific mobilities.
