Abstract

Comment nourrir demain 10 milliards d'êtres humains ? Peut-on le faire autrement que par la déforestation, l'usage intensif d'engrais et de produits de synthèse, qui aggravent le dérèglement climatique et l'érosion de la biodiversité? Le débat doit-il se limiter en une stricte opposition entre agriculture biologique et agriculture conventionnelle? Une meilleure répartition des ressources, les évolutions de régime alimentaire peuvent-ils tout résoudre? Il n'existe pas de réponse unique à toutes ces questions, mais l'agriculture a un côté magique. Elle ne fait pas seulement partie du problème, elle fait aussi partie de la solution, grâce aux super-pouvoirs des sols. En étant vivants, préservés et régénérés, ils peuvent à la fois nous nourrir, garantir la diversité de la vie sur Terre et stocker du carbone pour nous aider à compenser nos émissions de gaz à effet de serre. À travers quelques repères scientifiques, un bref rappel historique et l'exploration de pratiques vertueuses qui peuvent contribuer à la vie des sols, ce livre ouvre de belles perspectives d'avenir. Les agriculteurs et les agricultrices ont la Terre entre leurs mains, mais c'est à nous tous de les soutenir. Préface Chapitre Un. Pourquoi doit-on changer d'agriculture ? Chapitre Deux. Des principes du vivant à leur substitution Chapitre Trois. L'homme et les sols ? Brève histoire de l'agriculture Chapitre Quatre. Quelle place pour l'agriculture au XXIe siècle ? Chapitre Cinq. Limiter les perturbations : l'agriculture de conservation Chapitre Six. Le refus de la synthèse : l'agriculture biologique et biodynamique Chapitre Sept. Pour la vertu des prairies : le pâturage tournant dynamique Chapitre Huit. La santé des sols au centre de tout : l'agriculture régénératrice Chapitre Neuf. Mimer les écosystèmes forestiers naturels : l'agroforesterie Chapitre Dix.

Abstract

What was it that flew over with such a terrifying roar? Was it, as many said, the devil, or was it that thing a few had heard of, a flying machine? And those electric lights at Jacob Gallo’s farm, were they witchcraft or were they science? The theme of this harshly powerful novel is the impact of modern technology and ideas on a few isolated, tradition-bound hamlets in the aftermath of the Mexican Revolution of 1910. The old ways are represented by Epifanio Trujillo, the cacique of the region, now ailing and losing his grip on things; by ancient Madre Matiana, the region’s midwife, healer, counselor, and oracle; by penniless Rómulo and his wife Merced. “Progress” is represented by Don Epifanio’s bastard son Jacob, who acquired money and influence elsewhere during the Revolution and who now, against his father’s will, brings electricity, irrigation, fertilizers, and other modernities to the lean lands—together with armed henchmen. The conflict between the old and the new builds slowly and inexorably to a violent climax that will long remain in the reader’s memory. The author has given psychological and historical depth to his story by alternating the passages of narrative and dialogue with others in which several of the major characters brood on the past, the present, and the future. For instance, Matiana, now in her eighties, touchingly remembers how she was married and widowed before she had reached her seventeenth birthday. This dual technique is superbly handled, so that people and events have both a vivid actuality and an inner richness of meaning. The impact of the narrative is intensified by the twenty-one striking illustrations by Alberto Beltrán.

Abstract

Agriculture plays a significant role in Lesotho's economy. Lesotho is among the poorest countries in Southern Africa, with fifty-seven percent of the population living below the poverty line. About seventy percent of the population lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture for their livelihoods. Most farmers are involved in subsistence cultivation of cereals, where the country does not have a competitive advantage due to the agroclimatic conditions, small farm size, and lack of mechanization. This contributes to widespread poverty in rural areas, which account for eighty-seven percent of the poor. The objectives of this study are to: (1) assess the demand for vegetables from formal buyers in Lesotho; (2) examine the current production and marketing strategies of commercial vegetable farmers; and (3) suggest the design of the pilot supplier development program (SDP) to improve formal market access for smallholder farmers. The focus of this study is on Maseru, as it is the main center of demand in the country. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. Part 1 describes the demand for fresh produce and sourcing strategies of buyers in Maseru. Part 2 discusses the production and marketing practices of commercial vegetable farmers. Part 3 outlines the design of the pilot SDP.
