Alors que les ressources de la planète peinent déjà à nourrir neuf milliards d’êtres humains, la nature est toujours plus pillée, les écosystèmes se dégradent. Dans le même temps, les inégalités s’accroissent et la pauvreté persiste dans de nombreux endroits du monde.

Pour satisfaire les besoins alimentaires et économiques des communautés rurales et urbaines en croissance, répondre à des consommateurs de plus en plus exigeants, préserver les ressources naturelles et s’adapter au changement climatique, il devient urgent de produire différemment.

Organised at the initiative of CIRAD and its partners, the international conference Living Territories 2018, held from 22 to 24 January 2018, brought together more than 280 researchers, key players in territorial development, the private sector, donors and policymakers from more than 35 countries. At a time when almost half of all people still live in rural areas, territorial development relies on the capacity of all actors to take the changes they experience at the local level to the international level. It also relies on the capacity of territories, through their vitality, to propose new modes of governance, connecting the local, national and international levels and thereby helping to address the challenges of sustainable development. Faced with environmental and climate change, population growth and heavy pressure on resources, CIRAD and its partners believe this is the only path guaranteeing responses that are adapted to needs.

À l’heure où près de la moitié des êtres humains vivent encore en zone rurale, le développement territorial mise sur la capacité de tous les acteurs à porter, à l’échelle internationale, les transformations qu’ils connaissent au niveau local. Il mise aussi sur la capacité des territoires, par leur vitalité, à proposer des modes inédits de gouvernance, articulant échelle locale, nationale et internationale et contribuant ainsi à traiter les défis du développement durable. Face aux changements environnementaux et climatiques, à l’augmentation de la population et à une forte pression sur les ressources, c’est, pour le Cirad et ses partenaires, la seule voie garantissant des réponses adaptées aux besoins.

February 08, 2018 at 01:48PM L’évolution des agrumes revisitée

Une étude internationale, impliquant le Cirad et l’Inra, publiée dans la revue Nature le 7 février 2018, révolutionne les classifications botaniques des agrumes. Ces travaux mettent en évidence dix espèces vraies d’agrumes, dont quatre sont à l’origine des variétés cultivées modernes telles que les orangers, mandariniers, pamplemoussiers, pomelos, cédratiers, citronniers et limettiers. Ces connaissances ouvrent la voie à de nouvelles stratégies d’amélioration variétale pour ces fruits les plus cultivés au monde.
