Alors que la croissance et l’étalement des grands centres urbains se poursuivent au Canada comme ailleurs, est-il possible d’imaginer une nouvelle façon de faire société ?

Cet essai explore le rôle de l’alimentation – au-delà de l’agriculture urbaine – dans la réappropriation des quartiers par leurs résident·es. Et si, en (ré)enchâssant l’alimentation au sein du tissu urbain, nous réinventions la ville ?

Summary:
The heem parks (parks that predominately feature native wild plants) De Braak, the K. Landwehrpark and, especially, the Jac.P. Thijsse Park in Amstelveen in the Netherlands, have been important sources of inspiration for landscape architects, gardeners, and nature lovers throughout the world since they were first laid out over fifty years ago. This new book looks at the extraordinary history of these parks and the work of the landscape architect Christiaan Broerse and his colleague, the botanist Koos Landwehr. It also details Broerse and Landwehr’s creative and highly original use of a great variety of native plants in these parks. Bekkers analyses the parks as integral elements of Amsterdam’s urban expansion plans and demonstrates how successfully Broerse and Landwehr resolved the tension between the conservation movement and city planners. He shows too how interest in the Amstelveen heem parks have grown over time. These parks have played a key role, for instance, in the increasing emphasis on the use of native plants in the layout of green areas. The book is richly illustrated, with specially commissioned full-colour photographs by Jan Derwig and aerial photographs by Jan Schot. Also included are historical illustrations and sketches.

Summary:
In this sweeping chronicle of guaraná—a glossy-leaved Amazonian vine packed with more caffeine than any other plant—Seth Garfield develops a wide-ranging approach to the history of Brazil itself. The story begins with guaraná as the pre-Columbian cultivar of the Sateré-Mawé people in the Lower Amazon region, where it figured centrally in the Indigenous nation's origin stories, dietary regimes, and communal ceremonies. During subsequent centuries of Portuguese colonialism and Brazilian rule, guaraná was reformulated by settlers, scientists, folklorists, food technologists, and marketers. Whether in search of pleasure, profits, professional distinction, or patriotic markers, promoters imparted new meanings to guaraná and found new uses for it. Today, it is the namesake ingredient of a multibillion-dollar soft drink industry and a beloved national symbol. Guaraná’s journey elucidates human impacts on Amazonian ecosystems; the circulation of knowledge, goods, and power; and the promise of modernity in Latin America's largest nation. For Garfield, the beverage's history reveals not only the structuring of inequalities in Brazil but also the mythmaking and ordering of social practices that constitute so-called traditional and modern societies.

Cette exploitation de masse ne soulève pas seulement une question éthique fondamentale. Elle constitue un risque écologique crucial qui met en péril l'habitabilité de la planète. L'élevage accapare 77 % des surfaces agricoles mondiales quand la pêche se déploie dans plus de la moitié des océans. Principaux fossoyeurs de la biodiversité sauvage, l'un et l'autre sont aussi en passe de devenir les tout premiers contributeurs du changement climatique : le secteur de la viande représente déjà près de 15 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre. Face à ce désastre, l'heure n'est plus à distinguer les pratiques industrielles et artisanales : les deux se combinent sous l'effet d'un appétit insatiable qui dévore la planète.
