Stassart , Marc Mormont et Daniel Jamar p. 8-22 Résumé Index Texte Citation ... Auteurs Français English La transition vers le développement durable est ici abordée par la démarche de la recherche-intervention. L’implication des chercheurs dans une action collective les oblige à construire de nouveaux rapports entre recherche et acteurs de manière à rendre la première pertinente par rapport aux enjeux identifiés. La démarche étudiée dans cet article, le cas d’une filière bovine bio, comporte une étape d’identification des préoccupations et des points de vue. Leur analyse conduit, d’un côté à une proposition d’action qui reconfigure les relations et les stabilise via des objets intermédiaires, et de l’autre à une proposition de recherches qui peuvent répondre aux défis de l’action en cours. Ces recherches relèvent de différents modèles selon la manière dont les acteurs et les objets peuvent y être associés. Leurs résultats alimentent l’action en cours et débouchent sur un nouveau référentiel de filière. The transition towards sustainable development is tackled by the “deliberative research” approach. The involvement of researchers in the collective action, obliges them to build new relations between research and actors, making the research relevant regarding the identified stakes. The approach – in this case of an organic beef food chain – starts by an identification step of concerns and viewpoints. The analysis leads on one hand to a proposal of action, which reconfigures the relations and stabilizes intermediary objects and on the other hand to research proposals which are intended to give answers to issues related to the action. These researches are related to different models according the way they associate actors and objects. Their outcomes feed the running action and open to a new food chain «référentiel» (frame of reference).

Extractions: Countries Update . Nevertheless, the organic sector is still a niche in the total food sector. The organic market share in Denmark is estimated at almost 3% of the total food sales, probably the highest in the world. It is followed by Switzerland and Austria with 2% and 1.8% respectively. More than 24 million hectares of farmland are under organic management worldwide, according to the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) 2004 report. The market for organic products, previously dominated by Europe and America, is now growing in more than 100 countries around the world. Its market value in 2002 was estimated at $US 23 billion and in 2005 is predicted to be valued at $US 31 billion a projected increase of 34%. Total area under organic management - share for each continent 2004 Source: IFOAM report 2004 Organic farming has been increasing at a slower rate than it was five years ago and even in some countries a drop in organic farm conversions has been observed. For example in the Netherlands the number of farmers in the process of converting from conventional to organic methods fell by 30% between 2002 and 2003. The area under conversion also fell by a third to 3000 hectares.

Extractions: DATES TO REMEMBER Droughts, hurricanes, floods, blizzards, ice storms, when it is all said and done, weather is still the dominating force that controls our agricultural systems. The nice warm sunny weather we were experiencing this winter seemed to be just a tease. The lettuce, spinach, arugula, mache, miner's lettuce, and other greens were really growing in my cold frame at the house. Now its buried under a snow drift glazed over with an inch of ice after the temperature bottomed out around 10 degrees. I haven't dared to open it up yet for fear of tearing up the plastic. My large low polytunnel I set up for a demonstration plot blew away 8 times in the last 2 weeks. In 15 years of using polytunnels, that is the most times I have seen one become so aerodynamic.. You just never can let yourself be to complacent. I attended the annual gathering of Southern SAWG (Sustainable Agricultural Working Group) down in Jekyll Island, GA. Now I was expecting a tropical type paradise but this particular weekend was fairly cold with even some freezing temperatures there among the palm trees and sand dunes. However, the thermal mass of bodies inside the convention center more than made up for it. The sessions were extremely informative and alot of great connections with other like-minded folk were made.

Thread Index Hi Dale, I think that integration of organic and conventional agriculture is an oxymoron (A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in /a deafening silence/). Organic(sustainable)agriculture will survive only if it keeps at arms length from conventional chemical based agriculture. Organic agriculture programs may co-exist in agricultural faculties in a university only so long as there is mutual respect for true academic freedom.The USDA organic program seems to have been forced into prostituting organic agricultural to the whims of congressmen who serve the chemical industry.Grant money will have to be portioned out to organic
