Organic Farming, Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures
Author: Stéphane BellonPublisher: Springer Science & Business
ISBN: 9400779275
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF&F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF&F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF&F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF&F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.

ISBN: 1040183743
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
The organic products market is experiencing rapid growth. This surge can be attributed to consumer perception of organic products as healthier options with better nutritional profiles compared to conventional products. Furthermore, organic production is gaining global significance beyond just human health considerations. It is increasingly viewed as a potential alternative to conventional agriculture due to mounting concerns over environmental sustainability, food safety, animal welfare, and biodiversity conservation. In developed countries, the demand for organic products is increasing steadily, and a significant part of the food consumed comes from organic sources. The increase in the production and consumption of organic foods has made it one of the most important research topics in recent years. Organic Food Production: Innovation and Sustainable Practice provides comprehensive insights into various aspects of organic foods, including their production processes, certification procedures, regulatory frameworks, global market dynamics, and consumer preferences and acceptance. Additionally, the book offers valuable analyses of how organic foods impact the environment and contribute to achieving sustainable development goals. Key Features Includes a comprehensive view of various aspects of organic foods Provides insights into how organic foods contribute to sustainable goals Helps readers understand the differences between organic and conventional foods Provides a deep understanding of consumer behavior toward organic foods

Agroecological Crop Protection
Author: Jean-Philippe DeguinePublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9402411852
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book is devoted to Agroecological Crop Protection, which is the declension of the principles of agroecology to crop protection. It presents the concepts of this innovative approach, case studies and lessons and generic keys for agroecological transition. The book is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, experimenters, teachers, farmers, students. It represents a new tool, proposing concrete keys of action on the basis of feedbacks validated scientifically. Beyond the examples presented, it is therefore of general scope and proposes recommendations for all temperate and tropical cropping systems. It contributes to the training and teaching modules in this field and it is an updated information support for professionals and a teaching aid for students (agronomy, crop protection, biodiversity management, agroecology).
Histoire et agronomie

Languages : fr
Pages : 516
Book Description
Au cours des deux derniers siècles, le champ des agronomies a été traversé par de nombreuses révolutions qui ont constitué autant de ruptures importantes. Alors que ces disciplines se trouvent aujourd'hui face à l'émergence de nouveaux paradigmes comme celui du développement durable, il était important d'amener agronomes et historiens à confronter leurs savoirs pour mieux analyser les changements sociaux et techniques qui ont découlé de ces ruptures. Si pour l'historien, les ruptures s'inscrivent essentiellement dans la durée, pour l'agronome, elles répondent davantage à des questions pratiques de production et de protection des espaces naturels. Et les sciences de l'agronomie ont beaucoup à gagner en intégrant le regard des historiens à leurs propres perceptions des hommes, des concepts et des techniques. Cet ouvrage présente le résultat des réflexions croisées de quelque trente spécialistes européens de ces deux disciplines, réunis à Montpellier deux cents ans après la parution du travail fondateur de Nicolas-Théodore de Saussure (1804).
