Book excerpt: Pourquoi l'homme est-il devenu agriculteur ? A quels sommets inouïs de productivité quelques millions d'agriculteurs motorisés, mécanisés et spécialisés, sont-ils parvenus à la fin du XXe siècle ? En retraçant la prodigieuse épopée qui va des premières domestications de plantes et d'animaux aux agricultures différenciées d'aujourd'hui, ce livre montre que la crise actuelle de l'économie mondiale s'enracine dans la mise en concurrence inconsidérée des héritages agraires des différentes régions du monde. Les auteurs proposent une stratégie mondiale capable de développer l'économie paysanne pauvre et de relancer l'économie
Download or read book Comparative Agriculture written by Hubert Cochet and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first section dedicated to theoretical thoughts on comparative agriculture, Hubert Cochet introduces the notion of “agricultural development”, the very subject of comparative agriculture, with a restored endogenous dimension. He then describes how this approach was slowly consolidated, around the concept of agrarian system in particular. The comparison of agricultural transformations in time and space highlights the importance of the comparatist approach to production processes, their trajectories and differentiation on a worldwide scale. The second section which focuses on the methods and expertise of comparative agriculture, tackles the issues of landscape analysis, field surveys and the historical approach underlying comparative agriculture. It sums up the economic tools mobilised as well as the evaluation perspectives opened up by comparative agriculture.
Download or read book The Sober Revolution written by Joseph Bohling and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne. The names of these and other French regions bring to mind time-honored winemaking practices. Yet the link between wine and place, in French known as terroir, was not a given. In The Sober Revolution, Joseph Bohling inverts our understanding of French wine history by revealing a modern connection between wine and place, one with profound ties to such diverse and sometimes unlikely issues as alcoholism, drunk driving, regional tourism, Algeria’s independence from French rule, and integration into the European Economic Community. In the 1930s, cheap, mass-produced wines from the Languedoc region of southern France and French Algeria dominated French markets. Artisanal wine producers, worried about the impact of these "inferior" products on the reputation of their wines, created a system of regional appellation labeling to reform the industry in their favor by linking quality to the place of origin. At the same time, the loss of Algeria, once the world’s largest wine exporter, forced the industry to rethink wine production. Over several decades, appellation producers were joined by technocrats, public health activists, tourism boosters, and other dynamic economic actors who blamed cheap industrial wine for hindering efforts to modernize France. Today, scholars, food activists, and wine enthusiasts see the appellation system as a counterweight to globalization and industrial food. But, as The Sober Revolution reveals, French efforts to localize wine and integrate into global markets were not antagonistic but instead mutually dependent. The time-honored winemaking practices that we associate with a pastoral vision of traditional France were in fact a strategy deployed by the wine industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post-1945 international economy. France’s luxury wine producers were more market savvy than we realize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Étudier des paysanneries du monde, leurs territoires et les politiques publiques qui s'y appliquent, c'est effectuer une analyse concrète des systèmes agraires et des systèmes politiques qui les soutiennent, de leurs évolutions possibles dans un système mondial de plus en plus ouvert et donc conflictuel. Cet ouvrage illustre la diversité des formes d'agricultures, la complexité des systèmes agricoles construits par des paysanneries aux histoires riches de savoir technique. Il s'interroge sur la place, ou les places, que l'agriculture et les paysanneries peuvent tenir dans nos sociétés.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’agriculture est aujourd’hui interpellée par la société, qui exige bien plus qu’une simple production alimentaire : aliments de qualité, services environnementaux, insertion de populations marginalisées, revitalisation des territoires ruraux, habitabilité des milieux urbains, développement de productions énergétiques... Cette ouverture des futurs agricoles incite les acteurs ruraux à expérimenter de nouveaux systèmes de production et valorisation, faisant ainsi preuve de créativité et d’obstination pour exister face aux modèles de développement dominants. Parallèlement, ces modèles dominants fondés sur la production de masse à moindre coût continuent à s’étendre, avec les promesses d’un futur basé sur les technologies vertes. Ces évolutions posent des questions. Quel type de développement durable les sociétés veulent-elles ? Comment choisir les innovations qui leur permettront d’y parvenir ? Quels rôles peuvent jouer la recherche et les politiques publiques pour favoriser l’émergence de ces innovations ? Au-delà de l’analyse des options techniques, cet ouvrage s’intéresse aux innovations sociales et institutionnelles. Il démontre que l’innovation est le résultat d’une confrontation entre des visions portées par des acteurs aux intérêts parfois divergents. Il n’y a pas de chemin unique vers un développement durable, il faut à la fois encourager l’émergence et la coexistence de différents modes d’agriculture et de systèmes alimentaires. Le succès ne dépendra pas uniquement de notre capacité à repenser les modèles existants mais également de notre volonté à nous engager dans un processus d’apprentissage dont nous sortirons forcément transformés.

Quelle agriculture construire pour répondre aux enjeux environnementaux, aux inquiétudes sanitaires, aux défis démographiques et aux demandes nouvelles de nos sociétés en mutation ? Ce livre est né d'une double prise de conscience : celle de notre entrée dans une ère de rareté écologique, celle de notre devoir de continuer à produire pour nourrir l'humanité. Produire plus. Mieux. Partout. Un défi sans précédent. Réinventée, soutenue par des politiques cohérentes et concertées, l'agriculture est un actif stratégique pour un environnement préservé ; des territoires fiers de leurs valeurs et vivants ; une alimentation sûre et suffisante. L'enjeu est d'importance, non seulement pour une économie, mais pour une société plus humaine. Le XXIe siècle a besoin d'une nouvelle révolution agricole.

This book was released on 1969-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entre la diminution - quantitative et qualitative - de la superficie des terres cultivables, et l'explosion démographique, s'installe la famine. On a longtemps cru que l'aide des pays riches et l'industrialisation accélérée apporteraient une solution à ce problème. Hélas, la science n'a encore pu supplanter les productions de la nature, et les implications politiques, économiques et financières de l'aide au Tiers-Monde se compliquent aujourd'hui d'une réduction des réserves alimentaires, provoquée par une rupture d'équilibre du milieu naturel dans les pays développés. Il est donc urgent - pour le Tiers-Monde - d'assurer sa propre prise en charge. Une urgence d'autant plus grande, que la mise en train d'une agriculture moderne constitue le moteur du développement et le seul moyen - par ses effets économiques autant que psychologiques - de se libérer de la famine, de la misère et de l'ignorance. L'auteur fonde son analyse sur sa propre expérience de l'Afrique, confrontée à d'autres recherches menées dans diverses parties du monde, dans une vision synthétique, qui replace toujours les problèmes économiques et techniques dans leur cadre biologique, géographique et socioculturel.

Download or read book New Perspectives on the Medieval Agricultural Revolution written by Helena Hamerow and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Access edition is available on the LUP and OAPEN websites. Across Europe, the early medieval period saw the advent of new ways of cereal farming which fed the growth of towns, markets and populations, but also fuelled wealth disparities and the rise of lordship. These developments have sometimes been referred to as marking an ‘agricultural revolution’, yet the nature and timing of these critical changes remain subject to intense debate, despite more than a century of research. The papers in this volume demonstrate how the combined application of cutting-edge scientific analyses, along with new theoretical models and challenges to conventional understandings, can reveal trajectories of agricultural development which, while complementary overall, do not indicate a single period of change involving the extension of arable, the introduction of the mouldboard plough, and regular crop rotation. Rather, these phenomena become evident at different times and in different places across England throughout the period, and rarely in an unambiguously ‘progressive’ fashion. Presenting innovative bioarchaeological research from the ground-breaking Feeding Anglo-Saxon England project, along with fresh insights into ploughing technology, brewing, the nature of agricultural revolutions, and farming practices in Roman Britain and Carolingian Europe, this volume is a critical new contribution to environmental archaeology and medieval studies in England and beyond.

Download or read book Common Land Wine and the French Revolution written by Noelle Plack and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent revisionist history has questioned the degree of social and economic change attributable to the French Revolution. Some historians have also claimed that the Revolution was primarily an urban affair with little relevance to the rural masses. This book tests these ideas by examining the Revolutionary, Napoleonic and Restoration attempts to transform the tenure of communal land in one region of southern France; the department of the Gard. By analysing the results of the legislative attempts to privatize common land, this study highlights how the Revolution's agrarian policy profoundly affected French rural society and the economy. Not only did some members of the rural community, mainly small-holding peasants, increase their land holdings, but certain sectors of agriculture were also transformed; these findings shed light on the growth in viticulture in the south of France before the monocultural revolution of the 1850s. The privatization of common land, alongside the abolition of feudalism and the transformation of judicial institutions, were key aspects of the Revolution in the countryside. This detailed study demonstrates that the legislative process was not a top-down procedure, but an interaction between a state and its citizens. It is an important contribution to the new social history of the French Revolution and will appeal to economic and social historians, as well as historical geographers.
Download or read book Food Insecurity and Revolution in the Middle East and North Africa written by Habib Ayeb and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Food Insecurity and Revolution in the Middle East and North Africa’ studies the political economy of agrarian transformation in the eponymous regions. Examining Egypt and Tunisia in detail as case studies, it critiques the dominant tropes of food security offered by the international financial institutions and promotes the importance of small-scale family farming in developing sustainable food sovereignty. Egypt and Tunisia are located in the context of the broader Middle East and broader processes of war, environmental transformation and economic reform. The book contributes to uncovering the historical backdrop and contemporary pressures in the Middle East and North Africa for the uprisings of 2010 and 2011. It also explores the continued failure of post-uprising counter-revolutionary governments to directly address issues of rural development that put the position and role of small farmers centre stage.
