Agribusiness Economics: Advances in Renewable Energy and Global Sustainability presents a cross-cutting and systemic approach for the interdependent issues of health, the environment, agriculture, management and economics. It begins by characterising the global food system, identifying structural trends and emerging transformations, elements of permanence as well as opportunities for change. The author asks: how will these factors of change combine with trends of permanence? The book seeks to identify and analyse the lines of transformation to be followed in order to move towards a more sustainable diet.
The book also examines the potential for renewable energy production in the agricultural sector. It shows the plurality of issues at this level: economic, financial, technological, social acceptability, training, use and access to agricultural land. It draws up a balance sheet in terms of environmental impact, yield, adaptation of public policies and technological prospects at the international level. Increasingly, agriculture will have to move towards agroecology and agroforestry-the only way of using land that combines trees and crops, which has the beneficial advantages of soil protection as well as the preservation of biodiversity and land productivity.
