Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis bientôt trois ans, les problèmes alimentaires mondiaux amènent à remettre en question les processus actuels de production et de distribution à l’échelle mondiale. Volatilité, politiques économiques, financiarisation, innovations technologiques, changements d’habitudes de consommation, guerre des changes, sécurité alimentaire, tout ce qui pose problème à l’économie mondiale pousse à remettre l’agriculture et l’alimentation au cœur des préoccupations. Des millions d’hectares de terres arables passent dans des mains nouvelles, des émeutes de la faim éclatent à de nombreux endroits dans le monde, des affrontements idéologiques opposent toujours les tenants d’une globalisation définitive des marchés agroalimentaires à ceux qui considèrent que la mondialisation est synonyme de disparition des cultures vivrières. Ce cahier fournit un ensemble d’informations et de réflexions pour éclairer ces différentes problématiques : marchés agricoles et agroalimentaires, instabilité agricole et réponses à y apporter, rôle de la finance et du progrès technique, place de l’agriculture dans le développement, rôle et évolution des politiques agricoles, notamment la Politique agricole commune. Ces éléments permettront à chacun de s’approprier un thème incontournable.

Download or read book Betting on Famine written by Jean Ziegler and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few know that world hunger was very nearly eradicated in our lifetimes. In the past five years, however, widespread starvation has suddenly reappeared, and chronic hunger is a major issue on every continent. In an extensive investigation of this disturbing shift, Jean Ziegler—one of the world’s leading food experts—lays out in clear and accessible terms the complex global causes of the new hunger crisis. Ziegler’s wide-ranging and fascinating examination focuses on how the new sustainable revolution in energy production has diverted millions of acres of corn, soy, wheat, and other grain crops from food to fuel. The results, he shows, have been sudden and startling, with declining food reserves sending prices to record highs and a new global commodities market in ethanol and other biofuels gobbling up arable lands in nearly every continent on earth. Like Raj Patel’s pathbreaking Stuffed and Starved, Betting on Famine will enlighten the millions of Americans concerned about the politics of food at home—and about the forces that prevent us from feeding the world’s children.
Download or read book Towards Agricultural Change written by Pierre Jacquet, Rajendra K Pachauri, Laurence Tubiana and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Planet for Life 2012 focuses on agriculture and its relation to development, food and the environment. At the end of the 2000s, a consensus has emerged and points to the urgent need for massive investment in the agricultural sector, which is (once again) viewed as one of the prime engines for development and food security, as well as for poverty reduction. But what exactly does this consensus cover?While the idea of investing in agriculture is gaining ground and although several countries or regions appear to be offering opportunities for investment in agricultural land, debates are going on as to which agricultural models to choose and how agricultural policies should be implemented.A Planet for Life called on many highly specialized authors from different countries and perspectives, and invites the reader to discover the sector in all its complexity, upstream and downstream of agricultural production.At the crossroads of the challenges posed by development, food security and the environment, the transformation of the agricultural sector is at the heart of the global stakes of sustainable development. To help steer these changes towards greater sustainability, this book makes us aware of how crucial it is to also change our representations of agriculture, change the visions that guide projects for change and the policies regulating this sector.

Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage répond aux questionnements scientifiques posés sur les effets biologiques des phytomicronutriments (polyphénols, phytostérols, caroténoïdes, glucosinolates…), dans le double contexte de transition nutritionnelle et du vieillissement de la population, et dans le cadre du rôle potentiel de notre alimentation dans la gestion de notre santé. Fruit d'un travail collectif initié par l'Institut français pour la nutrition (IFN) Les phytomicronutriments présente : - une classification des différentes familles de phytomicronutriments, - les principaux facteurs de variation impactant sur les quantités ingérées et sur leur biodisponibilité, car les effets santé des phytomicronutriments dépendent de leurs niveaux de consommation et de leur biodisponibilité, - leur fonctionnalité puis leur impact dans des populations spécifiques (femmes ménopausées, sportifs et personnes âgées), - les bénéfices/risques de quelques classes de molécules, les plus étudiées : phyto-oestrogènes, phytostérols et caroténoïdes, - une illustration de la composition en phytomicronutriments dans des menus types et la possibilité de les repérer dans les aliments sur la base de la couleur de ces derniers. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux scientifiques, aux professionnels de l'industrie alimentaire, aux professionnels de la santé, aux enseignants et aux étudiants dans le domaine de la nutrition et de la santé.
Download or read book Risk Management and Food Safety written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk analysis is widely recognised as the fundamental methodology underlying the development of food safety standards. As recognised in the 1995 consultation, risk analysis is composed of three separate but integrated elements, namely risk assessment, risk management and risk communication. That consultation recognised risk communication as an interactive process of exchange of information and opinion on risk among risk assessors, risk managers, and other interested parties. Risk management is defined within Codex as the process of weighing policy alternatives in the light of the results of risk assessment and, if required, selecting and implementing appropriate control options, including regulatory measures. The outcome of the risk management process, as undertaken by Committees within the Codex Alimentarius system, is the development of standards, guidelines and other recommendations for food safety, m the national situation it is likely that different risk management decisions could be made according to different criteria and different ranges of risk management options. The overall objective of Codex is to ensure consumer protection and to facilitate international trade.
Download or read book Lineages of Revolt written by Adam Hanieh and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the outcomes of the tumultuous uprisings that continue to transfix the Arab world remain uncertain, the root causes of rebellion persist. Drawing upon extensive empirical research, Lineages of Revolt tracks the major shifts in the region’s political economy over recent decades. In this illuminating and original work, Adam Hanieh explores the contours of neoliberal policies, dynamics of class and state formation, imperialism and the nature of regional accumulation, the significance of Palestine and the Gulf Arab states, and the ramifications of the global economic crisis. By mapping the complex and contested nature of capitalism in the Middle East, the book demonstrates that a full understanding of the uprisings needs to go beyond a simple focus on “dictators and democracy.”
Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.
