The volume presents a comprehensive analysis of the lignocellulosic biomass that can be produced by the agricultural industry. The first part describes the territorial and political framework of the production of renewable energies by the agricultural industry. The lignocellulosic chains are then introduced, in an analytical description of the main crops aimed at the production of biomass and agronomic cultivation techniques; moreover, the potential of the crop residues is analysed. Finally, the volume takes into account the aspects related to territorial suitability as well as economic and environmental sustainability.

Velen kennen de Boerenbond van naam. Weinigen hebben inzicht in zijn talrijke functies. Doorheen zijn honderdjarige geschiedenis werd hij opgehemeld en verguisd. Voor de enen is hij een emancipatorische kracht, voor anderen een bolwerk van katholiek conservatisme. De Boerenbond is een uniek organisatiemodel, steunend op een merkwaardige combinatie van economische, sociale, politieke en religieuze belangenverdediging. De efficiëntie van zijn werking heeft hem herhaaldelijk in conflict gebracht met andere belangengroepen in de Belgische samenleving. Precies daarom is deze studie, die grotendeels op nog nooit geopende archieven is gebaseerd, zo verrassend rijk. Het is geen geschiedenis van de Boerenbond alleen, maar tevens van heel zijn entourage waarin bisschoppen, politici, professoren en bankiers een hoofdrol hebben gespeeld. De doorbraakpogingen van de Boerenbond in Wallonië, de liquidatie van zijn Middenkredietkas, zijn aandeel in de Katholieke Actie, de bedreiging door de Nationale Landbouw en Voedingscorporatie tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de argwanende houding tegenover Benelux en E E G: elementen genoeg om dit vlot geschreven, onthullende boek een niet te missen aanwinst te noemen.

Árvore frutífera, xerófita, da família Anacardiácea e do gênero Spondias, mas ainda sem nome especifíco. Nativa do semiárido brasileiro, onde existe uma grande população de plantas centenárias e produtivas, clonadas por estaquia, dispersas, notadamente em quintais, produzindo milhões de toneladas de frutos para as CEASAs e agroindústrias, é a principal matéria-prima de muitas fábricas. Igualmente às outras Spondias, seus frutos são chamados por diversos nomes comuns: umbu-cajá, cajá-umbu, cajarana, cajazinha, cajá-amarelo, cajá-do-sertão, umbu-amarelo e também umbu ou cajá. Dessa forma, são disseminadas informações equivocadas que tornam imprecisos os dados de produção do IBGE e das CEASAs impedindo a identidade nominal, a mensuração do real volume de produção e a sua importância agrossocioeconômica. Daí a necessidade de citações idôneas e fidedignas. A umbu-cajazeira é pouco pesquisada – esta obra consiste em um compêndio de informações obtidas através de trabalhos experimentais, análises, interpretação, adaptação, visitas de campo, contatos e conhecimentos tácitos de produtores. Contém conhecimentos e informações aplicáveis à sua cadeia produtiva, que podem ser úteis para a tomada de decisões estratégicas de gestão e de operacionalização para agricultores familiares, empreendedores, órgãos de assistência técnica, P&DI, agroindústrias, instituições de fomento e formuladores de políticas públicas para alavancar com sustentabilidade esse importante agronegócio.

L’eau est un enjeu majeur dans de nombreuses régions du monde du fait de besoins en forte croissance, mais aussi de la rareté et de la dégradation des ressources disponibles. L’agriculture étant le premier usager de la ressource en eau, la durabilité de la gestion de l’eau en milieu rural est cruciale. Elle nécessite de dépasser les approches sectorielles, encore largement en cours malgré divers courants appelant à une gestion intégrée, territoriale ou adaptative de la ressource. Prenant acte que la mise en œuvre des concepts proposés par ces différents courants est rarement effective et qu’il est plus pragmatique de rechercher la meilleure coordination possible entre les parties prenantes de la gestion de l’eau, cet ouvrage collectif analyse les enjeux, outils et démarches permettant de faciliter et d’accompagner cette coordination. En effet, une coordination effective et acceptée nécessite des méthodes et outils pour informer sur l’état de la ressource et des usages, rendre visible l’importance des enjeux, évaluer les effets et les expliquer, structurer les échanges, et élaborer et discuter des actions de gestion. L’ouvrage aborde la gestion de l’eau en milieu rural en termes d’objectifs et de démarche, puis fait un panorama large des outils, des méthodes et des données actuellement disponibles. Enfin, il décrit des exemples de mises en œuvre dans différents cas d’étude. Cet ouvrage de synthèse s’adresse à un public large allant des chercheurs, étudiants et enseignants en gestion de l’eau aux professionnels concernés par sa mise en œuvre.

Sugar beet has entered the age of liberalism with the abolition of production quotas in Europe. It finds itself on the world market and on an equal footing with sugar cane. France has benefited from the “AKER - Sugar beet 2020, a competitive innovation” Investments for the Future Programme, which aims to double the annual growth rate of the sugar yield per hectare of beet. It has made a scientific breakthrough by researching all of the genetic diversity available worldwide, and by carrying out genotyping before phenotyping. It is developing new genetic material, available for introduction into future sugar beet varieties. It also offers innovative tools and methods in the fields of genotyping and phenotyping, supporting players in the sector - beet growers and sugar manufacturers - in their imperative improvement in competitiveness. This book is mainly intended for scientists and professionals, and all those interested in research, development and training in the plant sector. It has just completed eight years of multidisciplinary work bringing together a hundred scientists. The AKER programme puts for a long time sugar beet in the top tier of cultivated species and helps to provide the consumer with quality sugar produced locally and under environmentally friendly conditions.
