Book excerpt: Le secteur agroalimentaire français traverse une crise profonde, et les tentatives pour y remédier se sont jusqu'ici focalisées sur les aides à l'agriculture. Le problème structurel de la filière alimentaire française se situe pourtant à l'aval : les industries de transformation alimentaire manquent de compétitivité dans un marché où la concurrence européenne et extra-européenne s'accroît. Aujourd'hui, les gouvernants préfèrent regarder vers l'avant, et se tournent vers le bio pour tenter de saisir la formidable opportunité offerte par ce marché en pleine explosion. La France se rêve alors championne du bio, et semble prête à faire le nécessaire pour réaliser cette ambition. Mais par quels moyens compte-t-elle y arriver ? Dans notre ouvrage, nous analysons les dynamiques à l'oeuvre dans le bio français à l'aune des impasses dans lesquelles se trouve l'agroalimentaire conventionnel. Nous tentons de tirer les enseignements des erreurs qui y ont été commises, et d'alerter les décideurs afin qu'ils évitent de les reproduire dans la politique française du bio. Pour aller plus loin, nous formulons des propositions concrètes afin que la France puisse assurer une reconnaissance non seulement à la qualité de son agriculture biologique, mais aussi à son savoir-faire et à ses produits bio transformés.

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 Connecting Histories of Education written by Barnita Bagchi and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of education in the modern world is a history of transnational and cross-cultural influence. This collection explores those influences in (post) colonial and indigenous education across different geographical contexts. The authors emphasize how local actors constructed their own adaptation of colonialism, identity, and autonomy, creating a multi-centric and entangled history of modern education. In both formal as well as informal aspects, they demonstrate that transnational and cross-cultural exchanges in education have been characterized by appropriation, re-contextualization, and hybridization, thereby rejecting traditional notions of colonial education as an export of pre-existing metropolitan educational systems.

Download or read book Cyber China written by F. Mengin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2004-11-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume explore the new power struggles created in China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong through information technology. The contributors analyze the interaction between the development of information technologies and social logic on the one hand and processes of unification and fragmentation on the other. They seek to highlight the strategies of public and private actors aimed at monopolizing the benefits created by the information society - whether for monetary gain or bureaucratic consolidation - as well as the new loci of power now emerging. The book is organized around two main themes: One exploring societal change and power relations, the second examining the restructuring of Greater China's space. In so doing, the book seeks to shed light on both the state formation process as well as international relations theory.

Download or read book Virtual Geographic Environments written by Hui Lin and published by ESRI Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual Geographic Environments, edited by Hui Lin and Michael Batty, collects key papers that define the current momentum in GIS and "virtual geographies." Contributions by leading members of the geospatial community to Virtual Geographic Environments illustrate the cutting edge of GIScience, as well as new applications of GIS with the processing and delivery of geographic information through the Web and handheld devices, forming two major directions to these developments. The four-part organization leads from a primer on VGEs to virtual cities and landscapes, interface design and public participation, and finally mobile and networked VGEs. Current topics, such as crowd sourcing and related services, point to the development of new business models that merge proprietary and nonproprietary systems.
Download or read book Israel s Asymmetric Wars written by S. Cohen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-09-27 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to Israel's asymmetric wars, those conducted against irregular armed groups that have attacked it. It seeks to understand the Israeli strategy in the fight against terrorists acting under the guise of civilians or using the population as human shields. The army has implemented a loosely devised, if not simplistic, doctrine of "disproportionate response" since Israel's founding. The results have been mediocre, nearly always leading to the death of innocent Arab civilians and exacerbating anti-Israeli sentiment. Each time it has led to an escalation that is difficult to control and thrown the entire country into an increasingly inextricable situation. Practically every time it has made Israel, the aggressed party, look like the aggressor. What explains such perseverance? This research is based on vast documentation collected in Israel as well as on more than 60 in-depth interviews with officers and simple soldiers, senior counterterrorism officials, politicians, journalists and NGOs.
