At the end of the 2000s, a consensus has emerged and points to the
urgent need for massive investment in the agricultural sector,
which is (once again) viewed as one of the prime engines for
development and food security, as well as for poverty reduction.
But what exactly does this consensus cover? While the idea of
investing in agriculture is gaining ground and although several
countries or regions appear to be offering opportunities for
investment in agricultural land, debates are going on as to which
agricultural models to choose and how agricultural policies should
be implemented. A Planet for Life called on many highly specialized
authors from different countries and perspectives, and invites the
reader to discover the sector in all its complexity, upstream and
downstream of agricultural production. At the crossroads of the
challenges posed by development, food security and the environment,
the transformation of the agricultural sector is at the heart of
the global stakes of sustainable development. To help steer these
changes towards greater sustainability, this book makes us aware of
how crucial it is to also change our representations of
agriculture, change the visions that guide projects for change and
the policies regulating this sector.
