This report looks at farm management practices with green growth potential, from farmer-led innovations (such as those directly linked to soil and water, Integrated Pest Management, organic farming) to science-led technologies (such as biotechnology and precision agriculture). Global food demand can only be met in a sustainable way if new forms of agricultural production and innovative technologies can be unlocked to increase the productivity, stability, and resilience of production systems with goals beyond just raising yields, including saving water and energy, reducing risk, improving product quality, protecting the environment and climate change mitigation.

A profound shift is occurring among women working in agriculture - they are increasingly seeing themselves as farmers, not only as the wives or daughters of farmers. In this book, farm women in the northeastern United States describe how they got into farming and became successful entrepreneurs despite the barriers they encountered in agricultural institutions, farming communities, and even their own families. The authors' feminist agrifood systems theory (FAST) values women's ways of knowing and working in agriculture and has the potential to shift how farmers, agricultural professionals, and anyone else interested in farming think about gender and sustainability, as well as to change how feminist scholars and theorists think about agriculture.--Cover

This book allows readers to understand how alternative proteins such as plant, fungal, algal, and insect protein can take the place of costlier and less efficient animal-based sources.

Le monde contemporain doit affronter plusieurs défis majeurs : deux d'entre eux apparaissent particulièrement prégnants et pour certains contradictoires ; il s'agit, d'une part du développement des agro-ressources pour faire face aux besoins alimentaires d'une population mondiale de plus en plus nombreuse et aux besoins énergétiques également croissants, d'autre part de la nécessité de préserver des écosystèmes particulièrement fragilisés, du fait notamment des activités humaines de production intensive. Cet ouvrage collectif analyse ce dilemme et apporte des réponses positives. Après avoir situé les enjeux internationaux du management environnemental et des agro-ressources, sont analysés successivement les discours, outils et pratiques du management environnemental, la gestion des territoires agricoles et ruraux et les flux économiques dans une perspective de développement durable. Enfin, quelques applications industrielles des agro-ressources sont présentées, à l'exemple du pole de compétitivité IAR (Industrie et agro-ressources) Champagne-Picardie. L'ouvrage est en effet issu d'un « École doctorale internationale d'été » qui s'est tenue à Amiens et Paris, en juillet 2010, à l'initiative de l'université de Picardie Jules Verne, en partenariat avec l'université de Paris Dauphine et les réseaux scientifiques internationaux RIODD (Réseau international de recherche sur les organisations et le développement durable) et IFSAM (International Federation of Scholary Associations of Management) et avec l'appui de plusieurs institutions (Académie d'agriculture, Ministère français de l'enseignement supérieur MESR-DREIC, pôle de compétitivité IAR, Région Picardie)
