Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis une trentaine d’années, l’évolution des différentes formes d’agriculture, l’émergence de nouvelles mobilités entre milieux rural et urbain et l’extension des espaces périurbains nécessitent de repenser les campagnes dans leur globalité. De nouvelles relations se nouent entre villes et campagnes et les espaces ruraux doivent faire face à des défis majeurs pour leur avenir. Après un rappel des définitions et concepts essentiels, les auteurs analysent les dynamiques des espaces ruraux dans le monde grâce à des études régionales (Chine, Asie du Sud-Est, Inde, Brésil, Argentine, Chili, Afrique de l’Est et de l’Ouest, Europe du Nord et de l’Ouest, Europe centrale et de l’Est, États-Unis, Russie et Ukraine). En intégrant les mutations des systèmes agraires (structuration de filières courtes, conflits entre agriculture et environnement, rôle croissant d’acteurs urbains, mondialisation des méthodes de production, etc.), et en mettant en perspective des réalités des pays du Nord et du Sud, se révèlent la concomitance de certains processus, tout comme leur singularité. Cet ouvrage met à disposition des étudiants, et de tout public intéressé par la question rurale, une approche renouvelée et indispensable pour saisir les enjeux actuels que représentent les espaces ruraux.

The book is based on French specialists in territorial education issues.
Download or read book Diversity of Family Farming Around the World written by Pierre-Marie Bosc and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at explaining the nature and strength of the links between the families and their farms looking at their diversity throughout the world. To do so, it documents family farming diversity by using the sustainable rural livelihood (SRL) framework exploring their ability to adapt and transform to changing environments. In 18 case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, it shows how family farms resist under adverse conditions, seize new opportunities and permanently transform. Family farms, far from being backwards are potential solutions to face the current challenges and shape a new future for agriculture taking advantage of their local knowledge and capacity to cope with external constraints. Many co-authors of the book have both an empirical and theoretical experience of family farming in developed and developing countries and their related institutions. They specify «what makes and means family» in family farming and the diversity of their expertise draws a wide and original picture of this resilient way of farming throughout the world.
Download or read book The Handbook of Contemporary Cambodia written by Katherine Brickell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a comprehensive overview of the current situation in the country, The Handbook of Contemporary Cambodia provides a broad coverage of social, cultural, political and economic development within both rural and urban contexts during the last decade. A detailed introduction places Cambodia within its global and regional frame, and the handbook is then divided into five thematic sections: Political and Economic Tensions Rural Developments Urban Conflicts Social Processes Cultural Currents The first section looks at the major political implications and tensions that have occurred in Cambodia, as well as the changing parameters of its economic profile. The handbook then highlights the major developments that are unfolding within the rural sphere, before moving on to consider how cities in Cambodia, and particularly Phnom Penh, have become primary sites of change. The fourth section covers the major processes that have shaped social understandings of the country, and how Cambodians have come to understand themselves in relation to each other and the outside world. Section five analyses the cultural dimensions of Cambodia’s current experience, and how identity comes into contact with and responds to other cultural themes. Bringing together a team of leading scholars on Cambodia, the handbook presents an understanding of how sociocultural and political economic processes in the country have evolved. It is a cutting edge and interdisciplinary resource for scholars and students of Southeast Asian Studies, as well as policymakers, sociologists and political scientists with an interest in contemporary Cambodia.

Download or read book Crisis and Conflict in Agriculture written by Rami Zurayk and published by CABI. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sets out to explore the dialectic relating agriculture, crisis and conflict, and attempts to expand the knowledge on these interactions. Part 1 of the volume (chapters 1-6) discusses thematic issues and methodological approaches to understanding the intersection of agriculture, crisis and conflict. Part 2 (chapters 7-20) provides case studies that take a detailed approach to understanding agricultural contexts facing crisis and conflict, or the role played by agriculture within crisis and conflict. Studies are selected from areas that might be expected to feature in such a volume (the Middle East and North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America) as well as less obvious regions where conflict within agriculture refers not to widespread violence or wars but rather latent or simmering crisis (Central Asia and Europe). Crises stemming from politically-driven violence, natural disasters and climate change are covered, as well as competition over resources.
