This book explores the fragility of ecosystems that support food production and advocates for alternative scientific research directions and bold public policies to address potential agricultural crises in hostile environments. It presents prospective analyses using the concept developed by philosopher François Jullien, encouraging new organizational structures in agronomy and environmental research to foster creativity and innovation. Through three essays, the authors propose scenarios and solutions for future food crises, including a hypothetical 2084 scenario of extreme climate conditions. The work targets researchers, policymakers, and those interested in sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to inspire novel approaches to preserve food ecosystems and prepare for systemic crises.

The present volume offers to the reader a multi-faceted dialogue between noted experts from two major agricultural countries, both founding members of the Word Trade Organisation, each one with different stakes in the great globalisation game: France, the world's second-ranking exporter of agricultural products and headquarters of a number of very active agro-business companies; and India, crossing the one billion population mark while emerging from its traditional protectionism, and legitimately concerned about preserving the interests of its huge farming community and not falling victim to the profit logic of the multinational corporations. After providing the recent historical background of agricultural policies in India and France, the contributors address burning issues related to market and regulation, food security and food safety, the expected benefits from the WTO and the genuine problems raised by the new forms of international trade in agriculture, including the sensitive question of intellectual property rights in bio-technologies. Whatever the differences between the two countries, and eventually their conflict of interests, this informed volume underlines the necessity of moving beyond the North-South divide, in order to address the real challenges of the future; a fair global order in a sector vital for the world, the multi-functionality of agriculture, the access for all to secure and safe food, the preservation of common goods and the ethical dimension of science and technology.
