The rise of new powers in development has generated much debate on the extent to which South–South Cooperation (SSC) constitutes a new paradigm of development more relevant to African needs or a disguise for a new form of imperialism.

Safeguarding the world’s remaining forests is a high-priority goal. We assess the biophysical option space for feeding the world in 2050 in a hypothetical zero-deforestation world. We systematically combine realistic assumptions on future yields, agricultural areas, livestock feed and human diets. For each scenario, we determine whether the supply of crop products meets the demand and whether the grazing intensity stays within plausible limits. We find that many options exist to meet the global food supply in 2050 without deforestation, even at low crop-yield levels.

Cette étude présente les résultats des enquêtes auprès des acteurs paysans, gestionnaires et acteurs privés des périmètres de Sélingué et Maninkoura (Mali) concernant les modalités d’application et la pertinence du cahier des charges actuel.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
"Four and a half decades after the Club of Rome published its landmark report
on
Limits to Growth

prosperity. This new review of the
Limits
debate has been written to mark the
launch of the UK All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on the Limits to Growth.
The 1972 report articulated for the first time the dynamic nature of our dependency
on physical resources and on ecological systems. It illustrated the processes of
