Mennen, W. van Meurs","doi":"10.51769/bmgn-lchr.11697","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51769/bmgn-lchr.11697","url":null,"abstract":"In European forestry, ‘sustainability’ as a key concept is centuries old. State-managed production forests and wooded landscapes for nature conservation have co-existed for a similar timespan. Incrementally, the functions of forests in the densely-populated Netherlands have shifted from timber production and economic rationales to natural beauty, biodiversity and recreation. ‘Monofunctional forests’ were gradually replaced in the 1960s by ‘multiple use’ of forests, according to which many functions may co-exist and be brought into balance in one forest area. The emergence of this idea was a significant step towards the formulation of a holistic concept of ‘sustainability’.\u0000In de Europese bosbouw is ‘duurzaamheid’ al sinds eeuwen een sleutelbegrip. Door de staat beheerde productiebossen en beboste landschappen voor natuurbehoud hebben een vergelijkbare tijdspanne naast elkaar bestaan. Geleidelijk aan zijn de functies van bossen in het dichtbevolkte Nederland verschoven van houtproductie en economische rationaliteit naar natuurschoon, biodiversiteit en recreatie. De stap van ‘monofunctionele bossen’ naar ‘multiple use’ in de jaren zestig van de twintigste eeuw, waarbij binnen hetzelfde bosterrein meerdere functies naast elkaar kunnen bestaan en met elkaar in evenwicht moeten worden gebracht, is een relevante vernieuwing op weg naar een alomvattende invulling van ‘duurzaamheid’ als nieuw interpretatiekader.","PeriodicalId":54117,"journal":{"name":"Bmgn-The Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"8 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80532679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim was to feed the indigenous population, especially in rural areas considered to be the poorest, and to make economic production profitable, which could contribute to the well-being of the Congolese workers. By placing this project in the long history of sustainability, this article presents the main economic and socio-environmental issues regarding food and the use of fish resources that drove this project, as well as the measures put in place by the authorities associated with the experts to respond to them. The last part provides and discusses arguments that allow for the evaluation of the extent to which the fish farming project met the conditions of interconnected economic, social and environmental sustainability, as defined by the concept of sustainable development.\u0000Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontwikkelde de Belgische koloniale overheid in Congo een ambitieus viskweekproject op basis van wetenschappelijke rapporten over het welzijn van de visbestanden. Het doel was de lokale bevolking van met name de arme plattelandsgebieden te voeden, de economie rendabel te maken en het welzijn van de Congolese arbeiders te verhogen. Door dit project in de lange geschiedenis van duurzaamheid te plaatsen, presenteert dit artikel de belangrijkste economische, sociale en ecologische problemen die aan de basis van dit project lagen en de maatregelen die experts en autoriteiten hiervoor voorstelden en namen. In de laatste paragraaf wordt beoordeeld in welke mate het viskweekproject voldeed aan het ideaal van duurzame ontwikkeling, waarbinnen economische, sociale en ecologische dimensies van duurzaamheid als onderling samenhangend worden gedefinieerd.","PeriodicalId":54117,"journal":{"name":"Bmgn-The Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81781450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Segers","doi":"10.51769/bmgn-lchr.11695","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.51769/bmgn-lchr.11695","url":null,"abstract":"This article analyses the discourse and opinion of agronomists on the manure problem in Belgium during the years 1970-1991. Based on a careful reading of the Belgian Landbouwtijdschrift (Agricultural Magazine), supplemented with secondary sources, four conclusions can be drawn. Firstly, already in the 1970s these agricultural experts warned for an injudicious use of pig manure, which caused nuisance to the environment and local residents. Without referring to the concept of ‘sustainability’, the agronomists did in fact incorporate economic and ecological aspects into their analysis. Secondly, Belgian agricultural experts, inspired by studies and colleagues in other countries, opted for technical solutions. Only seldom did they plea for strong state intervention. Thirdly, the Belgian government intervened only in the course of the 1980s, when the consequences of over-fertilisation threatened to have concrete and recognisable consequences for citizens, and with regard to the quality of drinking water in particular. These legislative initiatives occurred in parallel with a growing environmental awareness within society at large, a deeper understanding of the long-term environmental effects and the introduction of more stringent European environmental legislation. Fourthly, the Manure Decree of 1991 did not bring about a radical revolution in Belgian agriculture. Its primary focus was the supervision and management of the existing manure circuit, rather than on a structural reduction of the surpluses.\u0000Dit artikel analyseert het discours van landbouwkundigen over de mestproblematiek in België in de jaren 1970-1991. Op basis van een zorgvuldige lezing van het Landbouwtijdschrift, aangevuld met secundaire bronnen, kunnen vier conclusies worden getrokken. Ten eerste waarschuwden de landbouwdeskundigen reeds in de jaren 1970 voor een onoordeelkundig gebruik van varkensmest, met overlast voor milieu en omwonenden tot gevolg. Zonder te verwijzen naar het begrip ‘duurzaamheid’, namen de agronomen wel degelijk economische en ecologische aspecten mee in hun analyse. Ten tweede kozen Belgische landbouwexperts, geïnspireerd door studies en collega’s in andere landen, vooral voor technische oplossingen. Slechts zelden pleitten zij voor overheidsingrijpen. Ten derde reageerde de Belgische overheid pas in de loop van de jaren 1980, toen de gevolgen van de overbemesting concrete gevolgen dreigden te hebben voor de burger, namelijk een daling van de drinkwaterkwaliteit. De eerste wetgevende initiatieven liepen parallel met een groeiend maatschappelijk milieubewustzijn, een beter begrip van de milieueffecten op lange termijn en de invoering van een strengere Europese milieuwetgeving. Tenslotte zorgde het Mestdecreet in 1991 niet voor een radicale omwenteling in de Belgische landbouw. De primaire focus lag immers op het toezicht en beheer van het bestaande mestcircuit, en niet op een structurele vermindering van de overschotten.","PeriodicalId":54117,"journal":{"name":"Bmgn-The Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83824757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This history highlights an interpretation of sustainability which addressed global problems by a return to the local. Operating on a small scale enabled the alternative food movement to bridge the gap between social and environmental concerns. Although alternative food remained marginal within the quickly expanding agricultural sector of both Belgium and the Netherlands, the movement enlarged its reach through eco-labels and cooperation with large retail chains. As a result, small-scale practices could not be maintained. In the Netherlands, the alternative food movement subsequently emphasised the environment, whereas the social dimension was more pronounced in Belgium. Small-scale production and consumption became firmly entrenched as ideals, but, in practice, the balance between social, environmental, and economic concerns that activists had hoped for, moved out of reach. \u0000Dit artikel analyseert hoe de alternatieve voedselbeweging in de Lage Landen succesvol het ideaal van kleinschalige productie en consumptie op de kaart zette sinds de jaren zeventig van de vorige eeuw. Het artikel gaat dieper in op een variant van duurzaamheid waarin mondiale problemen werden geadresseerd door een terugkeer naar het lokale. Kleinschaligheid bood de alternatieve voedselbeweging een kans om ecologische en sociale bekommernissen te verbinden. Hoewel alternatieve voeding marginaal bleef in de snel intensiverende landbouwsector in België en Nederland, vergrootte de alternatieve voedselbeweging haar bereik door middel van eco-keurmerken en samenwerkingen met grote winkelketens. Hierdoor kwam kleinschaligheid echter onder druk te staan. Terwijl de beweging in Nederland het milieu vooropstelde, lag in België meer nadruk op het sociale belang van lokale productie. Hoewel kleinschaligheid als ideaal stevig verankerd bleef, raakte de verhoopte balans tussen aandacht voor het milieu, sociale verhoudingen en economische belangen in de praktijk buiten bereik.","PeriodicalId":54117,"journal":{"name":"Bmgn-The Low Countries Historical Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87057738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
