Download or read book Atlas des politiques agricoles et alimentaires written by Philippe Ducroquet and published by Editions du Rocher. This book was released on 2024-02-14 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La pandémie de la COVID-19 puis la guerre russo-ukrainienne ont placé la sécurité alimentaire au centre des préoccupations de nombreux pays. Alors que la faim était en recul jusqu'en 2014 avec 600 millions de personnes touchées, elle en concerne actuellement 800 millions, soit 10 % de la population mondiale, et affecte plus de 20 % de la population africaine. La menace de famines est de retour avec la convergence des conflits armés, l'accentuation de la crise climatique et la gouvernance inadaptée des politiques agricoles. Les émeutes de la faim en 2008 avaient pourtant donné le signal pour réorienter les politiques agricoles vers plus de souveraineté, sans que cela soit véritablement suivi d'effets.Cet atlas a pour objectif d'analyser, sur le temps long, les raisons des réussites et des échecs des politiques agricoles et alimentaires dans 30 pays, riches, émergents et pauvres, sur les 5 continents : Côte d'Ivoire, Éthiopie, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Nigéria, Sénégal, Zambie, Algérie, Égypte, Iran, Israël, Maroc, Turquie, Chine, Inde, Indonésie, Thaïlande, Vietnam, Argentine, Brésil, Cuba, Haïti, Australie, Canada, États-Unis, Japon, Russie, Ukraine, Union européenne.Les auteurs ont établi une grille de lecture inédite sur le potentiel agricole de chaque pays étudié ainsi qu'un classement comparatif des facteurs qui conditionnent la réussite d'une politique agricole pour vaincre la faim. Cet atlas apporte des clés de compréhension pour mieux en appréhender les enjeux.

Download or read book Strengthening sustainable food systems through geographical indications written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study seeks to provide empirical evidence on the economic impacts that are generated through the Geographical Indication (GI) process beginning with the official recognition of a GI and the steps that follow. It focuses on the food sector and reviews nine cases, offering a variety of national contexts and local value chains. The approach, considers “operational” GI processes: those in which a code of practice (or specifications) is defined and the GI is used and managed by a collective organization. The synthetic outcome of these nine cases show the positive effect of GIs on the economy and confirm the importance of specification that is well defined and implemented through producers’ coordinated action.

Download or read book Beyond Scarcity written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water has always been a source of risks and opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa. Yet rapidly changing socioeconomic, political, and environmental conditions make water security a different, and more urgent, challenge than ever before. This report shows that achieving water security means much more than coping with water scarcity. It means managing water resources in a sustainable, efficient, and equitable way. It also involves delivering water services reliably and affordably, to reinforce relationships between service providers and water users and contribute to a renewed social contract. Water security also entails mitigating water-related risks such as floods and droughts. Water security is an urgent target, but it is also a target within reach. A host of potential solutions to the region’s water management challenges exist. To make these solutions work, clear incentives are needed to change the way water is managed, conserved, and allocated. To make these solutions work, countries in the region will also need to better engage water users, civil society, and youth. The failure of policies to address water challenges can have severe impacts on people’s well-being and political stability. The strategic question for the region is whether countries will act with foresight and resolve to strengthen water security, or whether they will wait to react to the inevitable disruptions of water crises.
Download or read book Atlas de l agriculture written by Jean-Paul Charvet and published by Editions Autrement. This book was released on 2010 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Au début de 2008, les " émeutes de la faim " ont mis en lumière de manière dramatique la fragilité d'un système alimentaire mondial fondé sur une libéralisation toujours plus grande des échanges. À quelles conditions pourra-t-on nourrir la planète en 2050 ? Les termes du défi lancé aux agricultures du monde entier sont connus : de 1960 à 2000, les agriculteurs ont procuré de la nourriture à 3 milliards d'êtres humains supplémentaires grâce à un accroissement sans précédent des rendements par hectare. Entre 2000 et 2050, le nombre de bouches à nourrir est à nouveau appelé à augmenter de 3 milliards alors que plus d'un milliard de personnes - chiffre en augmentation - survivent en situation de sous-alimentation chronique. Comment, alors que les superficies cultivées ne progressent plus qu'à un rythme très lent, pourra-t-on produire toujours davantage, tout en préservant beaucoup mieux l'environnement qu'on ne l'a fait jusque-là ? Que peut-on attendre de l'agriculture biologique ? De l'agriculture " écologiquement intensive " ? De la révolution " doublement verte " ? Des agricultures " raisonnées " ? De la fulgurante progression, hors d'Europe, de la culture des OGM ?.. De la redéfinition des politiques agricoles ? C'est en réponse à toutes ces questions que l'auteur nous livre ici l'analyse claire et détaillée des 100 cartes et infographies créées pour cet ouvrage, avec la volonté affichée de donner des éléments de réflexion au citoyen d'aujourd'hui et d'en faire un consommateur éclairé.

Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.

It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Download or read book Urban Food Democracy and Governance in North and South written by Alec Thornton and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Grounded in the urban politics of the 21st Century world-wide, this thoughtful volume hooks urban food – and especially its production – to social justice in a realistic and manageable way.” —Diana Lee-Smith, Mazingira Institute, Kenya “An excellent international overview of urban food democracy and governance, with impressive geographical reach.” —Andre Viljoen, University of Brighton, UK This edited collection explores urban food democracy as part of a broader policy-based approach to sustainable urban development. Conceptually, governance and social justice provide the analytical framework for a varied array of contributions which critically address issues including urban agriculture, smart cities, human health and wellbeing and urban biodiversity. Some chapters take the form of thematic, issue-based discussions, where others are constituted by empirical case studies. Contributing authors include both academic experts and practitioners who hail from a wide range of disciplines, professions and nations. All offer original research and robust consideration of urban food democracy in cities from across the Global North and South. Taken as a whole, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the potential enabling role of good urban governance in developing formal urban food policy that is economically and socially responsive and in tune with forms of community-driven adaptation of space for the local production, distribution and consumption of nutritious food.
