Agroecology: The ecology of sustainable food systems / Stephen Gliessman (2007)

Format : 28 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8493-2845-9 Prix : 63,06 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : [Thesagri] agriculture durable [Thesagri] écosystème [Thesagri] étude de cas [Thesagri] grande culture Index. décimale : LG-1 Agroécologie Note de contenu : Providing the theoretical and conceptual framework for this continually evolving field, Agroecology: The Ecology of Sustainable Food Systems, Second Edition explores environmental factors and complexities affecting agricultural crops and animals. Completely revised, updated, and reworked, the second edition contains new data, new readings, new issues and case studies, and new options. It includes two completely new chapters, one on the role of livestock animals in agroecosystems and one on the cultural and community aspects of sustainable food systems. The author clearly delineates the importance of using an ecosystem framework for determining if a particular agricultural practice, input, or management decision contributes or detracts from sustainability. He explains how the framework provides the ecological basis for the functioning of the chosen management strategy over the long-term. He also examines system level interactions, stressing the need for understanding the emergent qualities of populations, communities, and ecosystems and their roles in sustainable agriculture. Using examples of farming systems in a broad array of ecological conditions, the book demonstrates how to use an ecosystem approach to design and manage agroecosystems for sustainability.

The conversion to sustainable agriculture: principles, processes, and practices / Stephen Gliessman ; Martha Rosemeyer (2010)

Public ISBD Titre : The conversion to sustainable agriculture: principles, processes, and practices Type de document : Ouvrage Auteurs : Stephen Gliessman ; Martha Rosemeyer Editeur : Boca Raton : CRC Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 370 p, Format : 30 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-8493-1917-4 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : [Thesagri] agriculture durable [Thesagri] écologie Note de contenu : With all of the environmental and social problems confronting our food systems today, it is apparent that none of the strategies we have relied on in the past?higher-yielding varieties, increased irrigation, inorganic fertilizers, pest damage reduction?can be counted on to come to the rescue. In fact, these solutions are now part of the problem. It is becoming quite clear that the only way to keep the food crisis from escalating is to promote the conversion processes that will move agriculture to sustainability. Under the editorial guidance of agroecology experts Martha Rosemeyer and the internationally renowned Dr. Stephen R. Gliessman, The Conversion to Sustainable Agriculture: Principles, Processes, and Practices establishes a framework for how this conversion can be accomplished and presents case studies from around the world that illustrate how the process is already underway. The book provides a four-stage transition process for achieving sustainability and an in-depth analysis of the global efforts to make farms more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. An international team of chapter contributors explores ways to lessen dependency on fossil fuels and pesticides, and examines each step in the conversion process. They also describe the process of monitoring change toward sustainable agriculture while integrating social and economic analysis within scientific practices. Serving as both a core textbook for students and a comprehensive reference for agricultural practitioners, this volume is a valuable resource for the change that is needed in our food system now and in the future.
