WW | 7th International Conference on Localized Agri-food Systems: Challenges for the new rurality in a changing world

Events
 ARCHIVE: 08.05.16  

The European Research Group SYAL, the REDSIAL (Latin American Network on Localised Agri-food Systems) the Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientist NJF, and Södertörn University welcomes you to the 7th conference on localized agri-food systems. The conference will be organized by Södertörn University, NJF, ERG SYAL and REDSIAL, and held in Stockholm the 8-10 of May 2016.

During the last decades, Localized agri-food systems (SYAL) have become increasingly important as tools for farmers, rural firms and consumers to meet market challenges and satisfy the rising demand for “food with a farmers face”. The potential contribution of localized agri-food systems to rural development by promoting economic development, social cohesion and counter-acting the demographic impact of agricultural modernization has also increased their political relevance. Previous research has addressed various aspects of the relationship between SYAL and geographical indications, as well as territorial, organizational and cultural issues, but there are still many unanswered questions and theoretical gaps to fill.

We welcome all topics related to the new rurality and localized agri-food systems.

The conference is conducted with financial and academic sponsorship from the Center for Baltic and Eastern European Studies CBEES, ENTER forum and Södertörn University.

Methods and Procedures for Building Sustainable Farming Systems

This urgent publication surveys the latest research and methodologies combining efficiency in agricultural food production with sustainability in the same systems. Growing pressures on food production seem contrapuntal to the ever-stronger imperatives of sustainability. How can agriculture balance successes in both productivity and ecology? Sustainability is a dynamic concept, seeking to achieve a balance—in space and time—of environmental, economic and social factors. Thus, farming systems are faced with contradictory demands for success: economic performance and social equity have to be maximized, while the environment and its natural resources need to be protected.

 

Showing how the method of sustainability assessment plays a key role in choosing the best agricultural productive mode, this book guides the reader through the process of selecting, from among the various approaches for building farming systems, the method of decision-making that will result in the most appropriate outcome, given the context. Case studies hail from polities as diverse as Portugal and Canada, Argentina and Lebanon. The work thus offers a valuable critical survey of the assessment methods that account for sustainability and economics, and which have developed considerably in the last two decades. The heterogeneous approaches covered here make this volume appropriate for consultation in a wide variety of social, political and geographical contexts.

SEMINÁRIO

Comunicar em Bio

           Práticas de informação, formação e extensão na agricultura biológica

Auditório da Biblioteca da UTAD, 23 de Novembro de 2012

 

Organização: CETRAD e Edibio, com o apoio da APH

Ideia geral: A comunicação é uma dimensão fundamental na promoção da agricultura biológica, frequentemente subestimada. Entendida de forma ampla, incorpora um conjunto diversificado de práticas de informação, formação e extensão, envolvendo públicos muito diversos, desde os produtores e outros operadores, aos técnicos, estudantes de agricultura, consumidores de produtos bio, comunicadores profissionais e sociedade em geral. Assim, no Seminário procurar-se-ão analisar experiências e práticas de comunicação, com destaque para a extensão realizada por serviços públicos e privados, a animação pedagógica e técnica de hortas escolares e comunitárias, a divulgação junto de consumidores (em feiras e lojas, na internet), o trabalho com a restauração, e as iniciativas editoriais de carácter técnico.

Objectivos: Trocar experiência, analisar práticas, sensibilizar operadores e organizações para a importância da comunicação no quadro do desenvolvimento e promoção da agricultura biológica.

Públicos: Operadores de agricultura biológica, técnicos de serviços públicos e de associações, educadores, formadores, investigadores e estudantes do ensino superior.

Local: Auditório da Biblioteca Central da UTAD.

Inscrição: A participação no Seminário é gratuita.

X Congreso de la Sociedad Española de Agricultura Ecológica
 ARCHIVE: 26.09.12  

La Sociedad Española de Agricultura Ecológica (SEAE),
celebra congresos científico-técnicos bianuales desde
1994, donde se presentan, debaten y comparten avances
de la investigación, el desarrollo y la innovación en producción
ecológica y Agroecología, entre investigadores y con operadores
usuarios potenciales de la tecnología desarrollada, conformando
un espacio de diálogo singular entre los agentes de la cadena de
producción ecológica, que genera ideas y nuevas propuestas de
futuro. Desde hace diez años este intercambio se amplia al ámbito
Iberoamericano.

Este año SEAE celebra su decimo aniversario, y propone en forma de lema cuatro conceptos diferenciales de la gestión agroecológica, como solución a múltiples problemas de la situación actual. 

FR | Les marchés de détail : de nouvelles questions pour la géographie

Events
 ARCHIVE: 01.06.12  

Assez peu étudiés encore en géographie, les marchés de détail jouent un rôle dans l’aménagement des villes, des bourgs et des espaces ruraux. Ils soulèvent des enjeux importants en termes de commerce de proximité, d’animation des territoires, de lien social et de qualité alimentaire. Cette journée sera l’occasion de confronter différentes approches de géographes et d’acteurs sur cette thématique à partir de cas français et étrangers.

Coopération, territoires et entreprises agroalimentaires

L'étude d'une quinzaine de cas concrets permet de proposer deux voies d'analyse. La première traite de la construction des nouvelles formes de coopération. La seconde offre une réflexion sur la place de la variable territoire dans la dynamique "Cota" (coopérations territorialisées en agroalimentaire), à travers des stratégies de territorialisation originales.
