Book Description
À partir d’une présentation des principes de l’agroécologie et de leur application à la protection des cultures, cet ouvrage analyse plusieurs expériences participatives réalisées en vraie grandeur, dans différents contextes. Il en tire des recommandations concrètes pour l'ensemble des systèmes de cultures tempérés et tropicaux, véritables clés de cette transition agroécologique recherchée.

Book Description
La quatrième de couverture indique : "Comment concilier la protection des cultures vis-à-vis des ravageurs et des maladies avec la durabilité socioéconomique, écologique, environnementale et sanitaire des agroécosystèmes? Face aux limites du système actuel, comment assurer la transition des techniques de lutte préconisées et établies par la protection intégrée des cultures, vers la protection agroécologique des cultures ou PAEC, cette méthodologie innovante de gestion des peuplements d'un agroécosystème? À partir d'une présentation des principes de l'agroécologie et de leur application à la protection des cultures, complétée d'une revue critique de l'évolution de celle-ci, cet ouvrage analyse plusieurs expériences participatives réalisées en vraie grandeur, dans différents contextes. Il en tire des recommandations concrètes pour l'ensemble des systèmes de cultures tempérés et tropicaux, véritables clés de cette transition agroécologique recherchée. Les contributions des 56 auteurs, d'horizons variés, traduisent le besoin et les attentes de la communauté scientifique et agricole. Leur expérience dans la recherche, l'enseignement, la formation et le transfert en milieu producteur, ainsi que la rigueur de leur raisonnement scientifique, donnent à l'ouvrage sa profondeur et son originalité. Ils en font un support d'information actualisé pour les professionnels et d'enseignement pour les étudiants en agronomie, protection des cultures, gestion de la biodiversité ou agroécologie."

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).

Book Description
This book is a synthesis and a celebration of a large body of agro-ecological research carried out on the management of the pests of cotton, one of the worlds major crops and one which has historically been a very heavy consumer of inputs of pesticides. It demonstrates how agro-ecological approaches to pest management are at last approaching the mainstream, with an increasing recognition that farmland delivers a wide range of ecosystem services (natures goods and services), including but certainly not solely comprising the production of food.

Book Description
Media coverage of scientific issues is a highly complex process. It involves making a specialized field accessible to the general public, without necessarily disseminating the associated scientific terms or knowledge. The terminological interactions between press discourses and scientific knowledge are presented within the field of agroecology. The analysis of textual data focuses on articles in the general press in French and English, devoted to plant protection practices using natural mechanisms (biological control). This book provides a terminological and cognitive overview of the issues involved in popularizing science in a rapidly expanding field, and of the challenges to be met in the constantly evolving environmental communication sector.

Book Description
Book & CD. Most crop protection deals with the development and promotion of socially and environmentally acceptable technologies to reduce crop losses from pests. Crop protection also deals with protecting crops from weeds, insects and diseases primarily to increase yield. The use of crop protection products secures yields, reduces crop losses and helps provide a sufficient and sustainable supply of healthy and safe food at affordable prices. Ultimately, crop protection tries to increase global food demand. It also deals with efforts to assure food quality and safety. This book presents the latest research from around the globe.

Book Description
Cet ouvrage retrace l'évolution des concepts et des pratiques de la protection des cultures, en s'appuyant sur l'exemple de la culture cotonnière, souvent pionnière des innovations techniques. Il fait une analyse détaillée de la situation phytosanitaire actuelle, illustre les limites de la protection agrochimique et met en avant la nécessité de gérer les peuplements à l'échelle de l'agroécosytème, introduisant le concept d'agroécologie. 1. LES NOUVEAUX ENJEUX DE LA PROTECTION DES CULTURES 2. LE COTONNIER, UN CAS D'ÉCOLE 3. SORTIR DE L'ENGRENAGE DES PESTICIDES 4. LE CONCEPT DE LUTTE INTEGRÉE 5.

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.

Book Description
Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world.
