This book contributes to the literature on Geographical Indications (GIs) by providing key theoretical reflections from a five-year review process on the potential of GIs for agri-food products in Southern Africa. The contributors reflect on diverse GI processes and dynamics which operate at the local, national and international levels, thus enriching the understanding of GI dynamics and of the variety of policy options available for GI protection in Southern countries. Following a discussion of the legal framework and governance of national GI schemes in Southern countries, the book emphasizes the main dimensions underlying the development of GIs and their potential for enhancing sustainable rural development and market access in particular. This provides the structure for the chapters that build on the different experiences of Southern African industries that have embarked on GI strategies. The book includes chapters on designing an appropriate legal framework and governance system for the development of GIs in Southern countries. Also included are analyses of local industry and collective action dynamics in the development of GIs, the public nature of GIs and the role of the State based on contrasted case studies on origin-labeled products, including Rooibos, Karoo lamb, Karakul pelts and Camdeboo mohair. Developing Geographical Indications in the South: The Southern African Experience presents lessons of value to policymakers, industry representatives and academics in Southern countries in general.

The year 2015 led to a renewed and ambitious global framework for action towards sustainable development with the Adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and of the universal agreement on climate. With a view to contributing towards implementing the SDGs, this book links the issues surrounding tropical agri- chains – with which CIRAD and AFD have been involved for many decades – to that of sustainable development. In a globalized context marked by intensified commercial and financial flows, increasing sanitary risks and rapid consumer behavior evolutions, profound technical, economic and social transformations take place in world agricultural systems and agri-chains. Increased environmental and social concerns urge agri-chain actors and development practitioners to propose methods and tools to improve sustainability, and public and private actors to invent new regulations in connection with agri-chains. CIRAD and its researchers together with Southern partners, and AFD and its officers are witnesses and stewards of the technical, biological and institutional changes that take place in agri-chains. Building upon their findings and experiences, this book examines the different roles of agri-chains with regard to sustainable development: as vectors of development, as spaces of innovation, as objects of evaluation, and as arenas of regulation. Linking agricultural production with the other economic sectors, agri- chains are key spaces where local and global challenges to sustainability meet and where local and global actors experiment interlinked or common solutions. They provide arenas where multistakeholder partnerships are defined and the implementation of the SDGs constructed and negotiated. This book is intended for researchers, teachers and students as well as the international development community and for a wider audience concerned with environment and development challenges.

Au-delà d'une analyse de la démocratie participative comme réponse à la crise de la démocratie représentative, cet ouvrage prête attention à la multiplicité des collectifs et mouvements d'expérimentations et d'interpellation citoyenne, tout en interrogeant leur nouveauté, et questionne leurs rapports aux institutions. Il le fait en mobilisant des analyses portant sur une diversité de situations, tant en France qu'à l'étranger : centres sociaux en France et en Espagne, campagnes électorales au Brésil, associations de patients en Belgique, occupation de friches urbaines, magasins gratuits, mobilisations de travailleurs « informels » en Argentine, participation à Nuit Debout ou mobilisation environnementale, pratiques d'aide alimentaire... Les enjeux soulevés redistribuent les débats sur le politique, la citoyenneté et ses pratiques, réinterrogent l'égalité et la justice sociale, mettent l'accent sur la démocratie comme forme de vie. Les expérimentations analysées ici contribuent, chacune à leur manière, aux luttes sur ce que « faire société » et participer veulent dire.
