Book Description
As western-style food systems extend further around the world, food sustainability is becoming an increasingly important issue. Such systems are not sustainable in terms of their consumption of resources, their impact on ecosystems or their effect on health and social inequality. From 2009 to 2011, the duALIne project, led by INRA and CIRAD, assembled a team of experts to investigate food systems downstream of the farm, from the farm gate, to consumption and the disposal of waste. Representing a diverse range of backgrounds spanning academia and the public and private sectors, the project aimed to review the international literature and identify major gaps in our knowledge. This book brings together its key conclusions and insights, presenting state-of-the-art research in food sustainability and identifying priority areas for further study. It will provide a valuable resource for researchers, decision-makers and stakeholders in the food industry.

Book Description
As the world approaches the 2015 deadline for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include a goal of reducing the proportion of hungry people by half, the 2010 Global Hunger Index (GHI) offers a useful multidimensional overview of global hunger. The 2010 GHI is the fifth in an annual series that records the state of global, regional, and national hunger. The 2010 GHI shows some improvement over the 1990 GHI, falling by almost one-quarter, but overall the index for hunger in the world remains at a level characterized as serious. The GHI captures three dimensions of hunger: insufficient availability of calories, shortfalls in the nutritional status of children, and child mortality. Accordingly, the Index includes the following three equally weighted indicators: the proportion of people who are undernourished, as estimated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO); the prevalence of underweight in children under the age of five, as compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO); and the under-five mortality rate, as reported by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The 2010 Index reflects data from 2003 to 2008, the most recent global data available on the three GHI components.

Book Description
In today’s rapidly evolving world, it has never been more critical to consider key environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, and endangered species. Society faces an unknown future where the fate of the environment is continuously in flux based on current preservation initiatives that governments develop. In order to ensure the world is protected moving forward, further study on the importance of securing environments, ecosystems, and species is necessary to successfully implement change. The Research Anthology on Ecosystem Conservation and Preserving Biodiversity considers the best practices and strategies for protecting our current ecosystems as well as the potential ramifications of failing to implement policies. Society is at a crossroads where if we continue to ignore the danger and warning signs brought about by environmental issues, we will be unable to maintain a healthy environment. Covering essential topics such as extinction, climate change, and pollution, this major reference work is ideal for scientists, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, policymakers, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Book Description
Field Practices for Wastewater Use in Agriculture discusses the growing importance of wastewater application in the field of agriculture. Addressing the tremendous need for the irrigation sector to reduce the demand for freshwater in agriculture, this volume looks at wastewater as a source for agricultural irrigation. The volume is divided into four sections: current and emerging issues in wastewater use in agriculture, wastewater management with biological systems, effective field practices for wastewater use, and case studies that provide information on scientific analytical studies on the environment under the influence of wastewater quality from different pollution sources. This book sheds light on the vast potential of wastewater use in agricultural irrigation while also considering safety of the agricultural products for human consumption. Much emphasis has also been given to technological aspects for the treatment of wastewater to protect our environment for better public health protection.

Book Description
Les femmes participent de manière considérable à l'économie rurale dans toutes les régions en développement. Si les rôles qu'elles assument sont différents selon les régions, on observe toutefois partout qu'elles ont un accès plus restreint que les hommes aux ressources et aux débouchés qui leur permettraient d'être plus productives. Un meilleur accès des femmes à la terre, aux animaux d'élevage, à l'instruction, aux services financiers et de vulgarisation, aux technologies et au marché de l'emploi rural se traduirait par une nette augmentation de leur productivité et par une amélioration de la production agricole, de la sécurité alimentaire, de la croissance économique et du bien-être social. Si l'écart qui sépare les hommes des femmes était comblé seulement en ce qui concerne les intrants agricoles, ce seraient environ 100 à 150 millions de personnes qui échapperaient à la faim. Il n'y a pas de solution passe-partout pour supprimer cet écart. Il existe en revanche quelques principes élémentaires universels à suivre à ce sujet: les gouvernements, la communauté internationale et la société civile doivent travailler de concert pour supprimer la discrimination légale, promouvoir l'accès de tous aux ressources et aux marchés, garantir que les politiques et programmes agricoles favorisent l'équité hommes-femmes et donner voix au chapitre aux femmes, qui sont des partenaires du développement durable au même titre que les hommes. Parvenir à l'égalité hommes-femmes en permettant aux femmes d'être des intervenantes à part entière dans le secteur de l'agriculture n'est pas seulement juste. C'est aussi primordial pour le développement agricole et pour la sécurité alimentaire. Egalement publié en anglais, en arabe, en chinois, en espagnol et en russe.

Book Description
La 4e de couv. indique : "La conférence AGRAR en 2013 a été prévue dans la conduite du Projet AFOMDnet dans le cadre du Programme ACP pour la Science et la Technologie avec le soutien de l’Union Européenne. Elle n’aurait cependant pu avoir lieu sans l’adhésion et le soutien − directs ou indirects − mais aussi la participation d’un nombre conséquent d’institutions du Nord et du Sud. La conférence AGRAR (pour « AGRiculture, Alimentation et Recherche »), une conférence par et pour la recherche agronomique en Afrique, a été conçue pour perdurer. Il est espéré que le partage des travaux conduits en Afrique se poursuive. C’est l’objectif de la publication de ces Actes."
