Abstract

What part should agriculture play in a sustainable development strategy? How does humankind coexist with the planet earth, and to which degree of independence or interference? How have we evolved from an environment dominated by nature towards one organised by man in view of controlling it, while continuously widening the gap between populations of the North-South divide, whereas available data shows we could provide sufficient food for the entire planet? Will sustaining agriculture remain a legend? These and many other questions are addressed by Sylvie Brunel, in charge of the professional Master’s degree «Globalisation, Sustainable development and the Global South», from her historical, anthropological and environmental viewpoint.
