Abstract

Après les avoir longtemps méprisés autant qu’ils les ignoraient, les citadins s’intéressent aujourd’hui de plus en plus aux « paysans » qui les ont toujours nourris, et découvrent avec une certaine nostalgie qu’ils n’existent pratiquement plus. Les agriculteurs qui les ont remplacés ne sont plus les « cul-terreux » d’autrefois et la manière dont ils travaillent sur leur territoire n’est plus du tout la même. Dans le même temps, et en s’étalant de plus en plus, les villes du XXIe siècle amènent les citadins à vivre au contact de ces paysages agricoles autrefois lointains et la rencontre entre les deux mondes pose désormais des questions nouvelles qui interrogent la manière dont nous aménageons nos territoires. Il faut donc d’abord revenir sur cette longue histoire qui a vu durant dix millénaires la ville et l’agriculture construire ensemble l’espace de vie de l’humanité, pour comprendre quels nouveaux types de relations peuvent se nouer aujourd’hui. Réduire les nuisances que la ville et ses réseaux engendrent envers le monde agricole, adapter les pratiques agricoles de sorte à répondre aux nouvelles attentes du monde citadin, co-construire des relations à bénéfice réciproque plutôt subir passivement des gênes mutuelles, tels pourraient être les objectifs de l’agriurbanisme…

Abstract

This book provides an insightful exploration of community gardening near the A6 highway in the northern suburbs of Lyon. Through engaging monologues from Antoine, Fi/f_i, and Riton, the narrative delves into the art of cultivating a garden in an associative setting. The authors, Agnès Hardy and Frédéric Chagnard, who have previously produced films on similar topics, offer a colorful portrait of these family gardens and the dynamics within the community. The work is both a practical guide and a reflection on the personal stories and relationships that form around shared gardening spaces, appealing to enthusiasts of urban agriculture and community development.

Abstract

"Following the crisis of the Special Period, Cuba promoted urban agriculture throughout its towns and cities to address food sovereignty and security. Through the adoption of state recommended design strategies, these gardens have become places of social and economic exchange throughout Cuba. This book maps the lived experiences surrounding three urban farms in Havana to construct a deeper understanding about the everyday life of this city. Using narratives and drawings, this research uncovers these sites as places where education, intimacy, entrepreneurism, wellbeing, and culture are interwoven alongside food production. Henri Lefebvre's latent work on rhythmanalysis is used as a research method to capture the everyday beats particular to Havana surrounding these sites. This book maps the many ways in which these spaces shift power away from the state to become places that are co-created by the community to serve as a crucial hinge point between the ongoing collapse of the city and its future wellbeing"--

Abstract

Quel avenir pour l'agriculture périurbaine ? À travers l'exemple d'Aubagne et de sa plaine de Beaudinard, l'objectif de l'ouvrage est de découvrir si les trois acteurs locaux principaux ? les producteurs (les agriculteurs), les institutions politiques (la commune et la communauté de communes) et les « usagers » (les habitants) ? en créant une base de solidarité multipolaire, sont capables d'inscrire l'agriculture périurbaine dans la durée et permettre la poursuite de la constitution du territoire périurbain avec la composante agricole. A-t-elle été impulsée par les agriculteurs ou a-t-elle été imposée contre leur gré ? Peut-elle être aujourd'hui relayée par les habitants, par la pensée et/ou par les actes ?

Abstract

"There are 20 million acres of lawns in North America. In their current form, these unproductive expanses of grass represent a significant financial and environmental cost. However, viewed through a different lens, they can also be seen as a tremendous source of opportunity. Access to land is a major barrier for many people who want to enter the agricultural sector, and urban and suburban yards have huge potential for would-be farmers wanting to become part of this growing movement. The Urban Farmer is a comprehensive, hands-on, practical manual to help you learn the techniques and business strategies you need to make a good living growing high-yield, high-value crops right in your own backyard (or someone else's)."--Publisher.
