{"product_id":"organic-farming-prototype-for-sustainable-stzsphane-bellon-9789400779266","title":"Organic Farming, Prototype for Sustainable Agricultures","description":"Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF\u0026amp;F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF\u0026amp;F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF\u0026amp;F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF\u0026amp;F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stéphane Bellon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9400779267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789400779266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 1000","brand":"Stéphane Bellon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244322570495,"sku":"9789400779266","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e133b1f-e506-450e-b3f2-38c84d8c2f56.jpg?v=1758135461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/organic-farming-prototype-for-sustainable-stzsphane-bellon-9789400779266","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
