À mesure que l'urbanisation se poursuit, ces politiques offrent des solutions ciblées, impliquant des efforts coordonnés des pouvoirs publics municipaux, de la société civile et des parties prenantes, et favorisant la durabilité et la résilience locales. Elles sont mises en œuvre sous quatre formes, à savoir des interventions de fond (par exemple, les cantines scolaires et les centres alimentaires), réglementaires (par exemple, les normes de sécurité alimentaire et d'hygiène pour les vendeurs ambulants), fiscales (par exemple, les taxes sur les boissons sucrées) et informatives (par exemple, les campagnes de promotion de pratiques alimentaires durables). À mesure que les villes s'étendent, elles sont confrontées à des problèmes importants, tels que les disparités d'accès à la nourriture, la malnutrition croissante, la dégradation de l'environnement et l'accumulation du gaspillage alimentaire. Les politiques alimentaires urbaines peuvent aller au-delà des politiques nationales traditionnelles, en intégrant des interventions ciblées qui abordent et prennent en compte les problèmes spécifiques de la vie urbaine. Les principaux objectifs clés sont d'assurer la sécurité et la sûreté alimentaires, de préserver la biodiversité et réduire la pollution dans les systèmes alimentaires urbains et périurbains, de gérer le gaspillage alimentaire, de proposer des régimes alimentaires sains et durables et de sauvegarder l'identité culturelle. Toutefois, l'efficacité de ces politiques dépend d'une gouvernance multi-niveaux solide, de la collaboration et de la volonté politique, visant des objectifs locaux conformes aux objectifs de développement durable.

Mais ces methodes peuvent faire baisser la production, qui provient souvent d'une monoculture intensive causant des dommages à long terme à la fertilité et à la structure du sol. La préservation de la biodiversité et l'amélioration de la qualité des sols augmentent la sécurité des cultures et la rentabilité à long terme de l'agriculture, tout en améliorant la perception sociale des agriculteurs. De nombreux pays accordent des subventions et imposent des réglementations qui encouragent les pratiques agricoles durables, y compris la jachère. À cet égard, nous discutons des concepts de partage (sharing) et de séparation (sparing) des terres. Nous décrivons les avantages environnementaux et sociaux potentiels de la jachère des terres et préservation des terres agricoles et de la restauration des écosystèmes naturels, en utilisant des exemples concrets dans des pays européens et autres. Nous pensons qu'il est possible d'exploiter les terres différemment mais cela nécessiterait une réglementation forte. Les incitations fiscales, les subventions à la recherche et au développement et les programmes d'utilisation de sources d'énergie renouvelables pourraient également constituer des incitations positives.

Dans ce contexte, l'article examine la situation de la micro-bière et de la bière artisanale dans les États baltes, en explorant leur croissance historique, les changements réglementaires, les facteurs culturels et économiques et les principales différences entre les trois pays. L'accent est mis sur l'Estonie, la Lettonie et la Lituanie, où la bière artisanale a de nouveau pris le pas sur les spiritueux traditionnels comme la vodka.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ce changement reflète les changements culturels et économiques plus larges dans la région. En Lituanie, la renaissance des anciennes techniques de brassage à la ferme a été au cœur du mouvement de la bière artisanale. La Lettonie, avec sa forte histoire brassicole influencée par l'Allemagne, a vu le secteur de la bière artisanale émerger comme une force compétitive, malgré la domination des grandes brasseries. Cependant, les micro-brasseries lettones sont confrontées aux défis issus des acteurs établis. L'Estonie, malgré un démarrage tardif, a rapidement développé une industrie de la bière artisanale florissante, portée par sa solide infrastructure numérique et son esprit d'entreprise, en particulier dans les centres urbains comme Tallinn. Le passage de la vodka à la bière dans les États baltes reflète des changements socio-économiques plus profonds façonnés par les cadres réglementaires, l’évolution culturelle et la restructuration économique, qui se traduisent par des marchés de la bière dynamiques et diversifiés dans toute la région.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Der einst florierende Biersektor der baltischen Staaten wurde zu Sowjetzeiten dezimiert und minderwertiges Massenbier trat an seine Stelle.

Diese Länder sind Estland, Lettland und Litauen, wo Craftbeer gegenüber traditionellen Spirituosen wie Wodka und an Bedeutung gewonnen hat. Diese Verschiebung spiegelt den kulturellen und wirtschaftlichen Wandel in der Region wider. In Litauen ist die Wiederbelebung alter Hausbrautechniken von zentraler Bedeutung für die Craftbeer-Bewegung. In Lettland mit seiner stark deutsch geprägten Brauereigeschichte hat sich der Craftbeer-Sektor als wettbewerbsfähige Kraft entwickelt - trotz der Dominanz der Großbrauereien. Die lettischen Mikrobrauereien haben jedoch Probleme mit etablierten Unternehmen. Estland hat, trotz eines späten Starts, schnell eine florierende Craftbeer-Industrie entwickelt.

We identify three types of farmer collectives with distinct needs, critical points of attention, and different roles for public administrations: 1) farmer collectives that only implement AES; 2) farmer collectives that also implement public and private funded projects; 3) farmer collectives that act as risk-taking, entrepreneurial organisations.

Cluster analysis of a sample of dairy farms indicates that the presence of young people in the household is just as important as farm economic viability in determining whether or not a farm successor is identified. The Teagasc NFS analysis indicates that many farms have young people contributing in terms of labour but delayed succession means fewer young farmers taking the role of farm manager.

As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 is a global commitment to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. This calls for a halving of per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels as well as reducing food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses by 2030.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In monitoring SDG 12, estimates of food loss and food waste are improving. The FAO estimates that globally around 13 per cent of food produced is lost after harvesting and before reaching retail markets (FAO, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;); while UNEP finds that 19 per cent of total global food production is wasted in households, the food services and retail (UNEP, &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In developing its capacity to track impacts beyond market outcomes, and gauge the effects of market developments on food systems, the &lt;i&gt;OECD-FAO Agricultural Outlook&lt;/i&gt; 2024–2033 (hereafter the &lt;i&gt;Outlook&lt;/i&gt;) has developed enhanced estimates for food intake and integrated food loss and waste into its global balances. The left panel (a) of Figure 1 shows the shares of food loss and waste by &lt;i&gt;weight&lt;/i&gt;. Vegetables and fruits are the main contributors to the overall loss and waste. In terms of food security and nutrition, food loss and waste shares can be converted to &lt;i&gt;calories&lt;/i&gt; (right panel (b) of Figure 1) to reflect the amount of energy in different commodities. Cereals, pulses, roots and tubers, the primary source of calories in most of the world's poorest populations, account for almost two-thirds of the lost and wasted calories, with cereals alone contributing over half (53 per cent). By 2033 under the assumption of constant food loss and waste shares, the &lt;i&gt;Outlook&lt;/i&gt; projects that close to 700 million tonnes of food will be lost between harvest/slaughter/catch and retail, while a further 1,140 million tonnes will be wasted at retail and household levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on these two assumptions, the scenario projects that global direct GHG emissions from agriculture would fall by 4 per cent, a reduction distributed relatively evenly across countries regardless of income levels. It would also result in increasing the average per capita calorie intake in low-income and lower-middle-income countries (Figure 2), potentially reducing the number of people facing hunger worldwide in 2030 by 153 million (a 26 per cent reduction).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the scenario illustrates potential benefits for consumers and the environment, there are challenges for producers as decreased production and lower producer prices would significantly impact their livelihoods: the impacts on consumers and producers are sensitive to the assumptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The scenario shows the benefits of reaching th","PeriodicalId":44823,"journal":{"name":"EuroChoices","volume":"23 3","pages":"36-37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1746-692X.12457","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
