Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous nourrir tous demain...et si seule la Bio pouvait y parvenir ? « La Bio est un véritable projet politique pour une civilisation moderne. La souveraineté alimentaire est la fondation indispensable à notre liberté, notre santé, et notre sécurité. » - Claude Gruffat Claude Gruffat est président de Biocoop depuis 2004. Avec Les Dessous de l’Alimentation Bio, Claude Gruffat explique très précisément, chiffres à l’appui, pourquoi la toxique agriculture conventionnelle, dépendante de subventions, ne pourra jamais nourrir le monde, et comment LA Bio est l’une des rares réponses pour sortir de l’impasse actuelle. La seule capable de faire face aux prochaines crises alimentaires en Europe. Ce pionnier rappelle que La Bio est un projet sociétal cohérent aux atouts environnementaux, économiques et sociaux aujourd’hui largement démontrés. Il distingue ainsi avec précision LA Bio et LE bio issu d’une production de masse pour une distribution de masse, à l’identique de la logique conventionnelle. Ce positionnement très clair de Claude Gruffat est à lire alors que la discussion politique se ré-ouvre avec les États Généraux de l’Alimentation et que la révision du règlement européen bio pourrait encore tirer le label vers le bas (niveau de tolérance des résidus de pesticides...). Un ouvrage qui montre la voie pour faire de l'alimentation biologique un véritable projet de société. EXTRAIT Être agriculteur bio, comme être consommateur de bio c’est défendre une autre société. Derrière ces partis pris se cache le choix de la société que nous voulons. Acheter bio constitue un engagement important pour le respect de l’environnement. On peut estimer que c’est pour sa santé. Mais ce n’est pas tout. Acheter un produit bio c’est soutenir un mode de production agricole, c’est voter pour une agriculture paysanne qui respecte les rythmes de la nature, les conditions de travail d’hommes et de femmes, c’est voter pour une juste répartition des richesses entre les paysans et les consommateurs. C’est voter pour le retour à une véritable autonomie alimentaire, une préoccupation fondamentale bafouée par 60 ans de développement d’une agriculture intensive aveugle et mortifère, qui vend ses terres au plus offrant. Oui, c’est tout cela manger bio, et bien plus encore ! C’est encore : les paysages, la symbiose de la nature, un esprit de filière, de coopération, d’autres modes de décision. La Bio c’est un état d’esprit, une solidarité, une vision de la société et des échanges. C’est d’autres comportements, qu’on apprend au jour le jour. C’est une communauté d’idées partagées, une communauté d’intérêts de personnes et de projets. La Bio c’est un écosystème, avec toute la complexité que cela induit. Chacun en dépend et a donc intérêt à ce que l’écosystème se porte bien. D’un côté ceux qui cultivent, de l’autre ceux qui se nourrissent, des intérêts partagés pour que les uns puissent être en relation avec les autres. Aujourd’hui et demain. Finalement, la Bio c’est une utopie politique. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE En partageant son expérience et livrant sa vision personnelle du sujet, [Claude Gruffat] offre un témoignage utile pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre en profondeur les enjeux du secteur. - Anne-Sophie Novel, Même pas mal !, blog du Monde À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Claude Gruffat a été conseiller agricole pendant dix-sept ans. En 1993, il ouvre un premier magasin Biocoop. Il devient président du groupement en 2004. Depuis, il met un point d'honneur à défendre un label bio de qualité.

Book excerpt: Préface de Marie-Monique Robin Nous nourrir tous demain... et si seule la bio pouvait y parvenir ? "La" Bio nait dans les années 1960. En plein essor de la chimie et de l'agriculture intensive, des consommateurs et des paysans résistent ; les uns veulent continuer à manger sain et local, les autres défendre une agronomie respectueuse de la nature et des hommes. Ils font alors cause commune pour reprendre en main leur destin. 50 ans plus tard les magasins bio se multiplient, mais qu'en est-il de cette utopie ? Ce livre interroge les préjugés et questionne les limites du bio. Il révèle les options gagnantes d'un projet porteur d'espoir. Partout des citoyens oeuvrent pour protéger notre autonomie alimentaire, nos terres, notre santé. Ce livre alarme également. Les semences autorisées sont privatisées, tributaires des pesticides, les variétés naturellement résistantes sont interdites. Une part croissante de nos terres est dédiée à la nourriture animale, d'exportation ; elles ne nous nourrissent plus. L'agriculture conventionnelle de piètre qualité et peu nutritive ne survit que par les subventions. Jusqu'à quand ? La Bio, la permaculture, les coopératives ont les solutions de résilience. Se prémunir des pratiques de la grande distribution, du bio industriel et des labels au rabais paraît idéaliste, c'est en fait vital. Et si la bio était un projet de société, non pas un marché ou le choix de quelques-uns, mais notre seule voie ? Une magnifique voie. EN QUETE... Se nourrir demain - Entretiens menés avec Claude Gruffat, président de Biocoop depuis 2004, de formation agricole, d'abord conseil à l'installation des agriculteurs, coopérateur de longue date puis gérant d'un magasin bio. Entretiens complétés avec des questions- vérité de citoyens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’agroalimentaire, premier destructeur de biodiversité arrive en tête des activités émettrices de gaz à effet de serre. En cause, un modèle productiviste fondé sur l’hyperconsommation et la rentabilité, responsable d’une perte de valeur écologique, sanitaire et sociale. Un système perdant-perdant qu’il est urgent de réformer. Le bio et son cahier des charges excluant pesticides chimiques et OGM, respectueux de la biodiversité et du bien-être animal, semble offrir un modèle alternatif. Pourtant, les entreprises respectueuses de l’environnement, du consommateur ou producteur et centrées sur le local butent sur un plafond de verre. Cette inertie n’a pourtant rien d’une fatalité, comme l’illustre l’aventure « Biocoop », ouvrant la voie d’un modèle vertueux susceptible de devenir majoritaire. Pierrick De Ronne est le président de l'entreprise "Biocoop" depuis 2019.

Download or read book Narratives of fear and safety written by Kaisa Kaukiainen and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance.

Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Creating Greater Malaysia written by Tai Yong Tan and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2008 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia came into existence on 9/16/63 as a federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah (North Borneo), and Sarawak; in 1965 Singapore withdrew from the federation. Offers an in-depth and detailed analysis of the political processes that led to formation of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. It argues that the Malaysia that came into being following the amalgamation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo was a political creation whose only rationale was that it served a convergence of political and economic expediency for the departing colonial power, the Malayan leadership and the ruling party of self-governing Singapore. 'Greater Malaysia' was thus an artificial political entity, the outcome of a concatenation of interests and motives of a number of political actors in London and Southeast Asia from the 1950s to the early 1960s. This led to a number of unresolved compromises between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and did not obviate the possibility of future difficulties, and the seeds of dissension sown by the disagreements between the two governments were to sprout into major crises during Singapore's brief history in the Federation of Malaysia.
