Summary:
Le commerce équitable s'est illustré, ces dernières années, comme une possible réponse aux inégalités dans les échanges entre le Nord et le Sud. Le succès du commerce équitable a révélé les consommateurs des pays développés y étaient sensibles et étaient conscients des nouveaux défis apparus avec la mondialisation. Comment répondre aux besoins alimentaires des populations et dans le même temps conserver les espaces naturels, protéger la biodiversité, faire face aux enjeux écologiques liés au développement industriel et à l'urbanisation... En y associant les populations paysannes héritières de savoirs et de savoir-faire respectueux des équilibres écologiques, répond le commerce équitable. Car l'agriculture paysanne est, par son histoire, porteuse d'une gestion des territoires qui fonde la diversité agricole, alimentaire et, ce faisant, humaine de notre planète. Ce livre permet de découvrir le terrain où s'exerce chaque jour les effets du commerce équitable, ces jardins du monde où sont cultivés les produits, cacao, café, thé, sucre, fruits, épices, riz, fonio, quinoa... par des groupements de petits producteurs. Ce livre est une illustration de la richesse, de la beauté, de la diversité et aussi de la fragilité d'un monde qu'il s'agit de préserver.

The German landscape architect's planning group Valentien intend the garden that they are constructing, for Chenshan (Hill Chen) in the Song Jiang District of Shanghai (just outside the city center), to be such a gesture, as well as a model of plant conservation and scientific research development-and one of Shanghai's most ambitious landmarks. The project is enormous, and informed throughout by the architects' ecological imperatives: Energy-saving technologies are to be utilized in the garden's buildings (greenhouses, laboratories and education center) and renewable materials will be deployed throughout.

On peut ainsi suivre leur évolution depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine et découvrir l’affirmation de formes régionales ainsi que la manière dont ces formes se sont diffusées, autour de certaines villes ou le long de certains axes de circulation. Les nombreuses illustrations montrent la richesse d’un patrimoine souvent oublié ou du moins délaissé, depuis les fontaines rustiques qui se cachent au pied des villages, seul point d’eau où venaient s’approvisionner hommes et bêtes, jusqu’aux fontaines de prestige dont la diversité est telle qu’il n’y en a pas deux qui soient identiques. Panorama complet, superbement illustré, des fontaines de la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur qui nous entraîne aussi bien dans les grandes villes que dans les petits villages.
