Beweegt de Belgische samenleving 20 jaar na de Aardetop (1992) in de richting van duurzame ontwikkeling? Of bevinden we ons op een hellend vlak? Twee redacteurs, beide van de 'Rio-generatie' en afkomstig uit twee gemeenschappen van dit land, gingen de uitdaging aan om in het eerste deel van het werk die vraag te onderzoeken. Zij stelden diezelfde vraag ook aan sleutelfiguren uit de maatschappij. Vrouwen, jeugd, allochtonen, ngo's, lokale overheden, werknemers, werkgevers, wetenschappers, boeren...: coauteurs die deze groepen vertegenwoordigen of goed kennen hebben het in het tweede deel over deze evolutie, over hun ervaringen en hun verwachtingen. In het derde deel vragen experten zich af of wij de huidige ontwikkeling terdege met indicatoren opvolgen en hoe de jeugd via educatie wordt voorbereid op de toekomst die hen wacht.De vaststellingen in het boek zijn soms verrassend maar ze convergeren minstens op één punt: de uitdagingen zijn enorm en moeten dringend worden aangepakt. De titel van het laatste deel spreekt dan ook boekdelen: 'Oproep tot dringende actie om de transitie te versnellen!'

Hunger is a daily reality for a billion people. More than six decades after the technological discoveries that led to the Green Revolution aimed at ending world hunger, regular food shortages, malnutrition, and poverty still plague vast swaths of the world. And with increasing food prices, climate change, resource inequality, and an ever-increasing global population, the future holds further challenges.In One Billion Hungry, Sir Gordon Conway, one of the world's foremost experts on global food needs, explains the many interrelated issues critical to our global food supply from the science of agricultural advances to the politics of food security. He expands the discussion begun in his influential The Doubly Green Revolution: Food for All in the Twenty-First Century, emphasizing the essential combination of increased food production, environmental stability, and poverty reduction necessary to end endemic hunger on our planet. Conway addresses a series of urgent questions about global hunger: • How we will feed a growing global population in the face of a wide range of adverse factors, including climate change? • What contributions can the social and natural sciences make in finding solutions?• And how can we engage both government and the private sector to apply these solutions and achieve significant impact in the lives of the poor?Conway succeeds in sharing his informed optimism about our collective ability to address these fundamental challenges if we use technology paired with sustainable practices and strategic planning.Beginning with a definition of hunger and how it is calculated, and moving through issues topically both detailed and comprehensive, each chapter focuses on specific challenges and solutions, ranging in scope from the farmer's daily life to the global movement of food, money, and ideas. Drawing on the latest scientific research and the results of projects around the world, Conway addresses the concepts and realities of our global food needs: the legacy of the Green Revolution; the impact of market forces on food availability; the promise and perils of genetically modified foods; agricultural innovation in regard to crops, livestock, pest control, soil, and water; and the need to both adapt to and slow the rate of climate change. One Billion Hungry will be welcomed by all readers seeking a multifaceted understanding of our global food supply, food security, international agricultural development, and sustainability.

Zimbabwe's Fast Track Land Reform provides new, in-depth and much-needed empirical research on Zimbabwe?s highly contested land reform programme. It examines how processes such as land acquisition, allocation, transitional production outcomes, social life, gender and tenure have influenced and been influenced by the forces driving the programme. Based on a broader geographical scope than any previous study, this is a landmark work on a subject of considerable controversy.
