Finding the Acupoints -- 4. The Threads of Repair -- 5. Pleasure.This book argues that sustainable development, based on sustained growth, has led us to an impasse. In response, Agroecology brings back and utilises notions of eco-development and co-evolution with nature as a refreshing paradigm. It also proposes a further shift in mindset with the notion of being within, or looking at agroecology as a way to reconnect and rebuild relationships and movement within farming systems and beyond. Rather than linear technical fixes, it considers the critical nodes of tension, the inflection points, or acupoints, which can trigger a transition towards greater harmony and well-being. The book also draws from a concrete example of agroecology by examining a pilot project in Mozambique testing new approaches to investments and peasant farming that will inspire farming communities, researchers, policy makers and development organizations alike, to build greater autonomy and self-determination.Palgrave pivot.EcologyApplied ecologyPhysical geographyEnvironmental managementSustainabilityEnvironmental SciencesApplied EcologyPhysical GeographyEnvironmental ManagementSustainabilityEcology.Applied ecology.Physical geography.Environmental management.Sustainability.Environmental Sciences.Applied Ecology.Physical Geography.Environmental Management.Sustainability.577.55Hilmi Angelaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut855605BOOK9910300574703321Agroecology1910245UNINA05122nam 22005172 450 991055809850332120241204165140.090-04-38654-810.1163/9789004386549(CKB)4100000007177198(MiAaPQ)EBC5606117(nllekb)BRILL9789004386549(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/80695(oapen)doab80695(EXLCZ)99410000000717719820181012d2018 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAuthority and control in the countryside from antiquity to Islam in the Mediterranean and Near East (6th-10th century)Edited by Alain Delattre, Marie Legendre, Petra SijpesteijnBrill2018Leiden ;Boston :Brill,[2018]1 online resource (594 pages)Leiden studies in islam and society,2210-8920 ;volume 990-04-38635-1 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front Matter --Copyright Page --Acknowledgements --Notes on Contributors --Notes on Transliteration, Names and Dates --Introduction /Petra M.

Sijpesteijn --Back Matter --Index.Authority and Control in the Countryside looks at the economic, religious, political and cultural instruments that local and regional powers in the late antique to early medieval Mediterranean and Near East used to manage their rural hinterlands. Measures of direct control – land ownership, judicial systems, garrisons and fortifications, religious and administrative appointments, taxes and regulation – and indirect control – monuments and landmarks, cultural styles and artistic models, intellectual and religious influence, and economic and bureaucratic standard-setting – are examined to reconstruct the various means by which authority was asserted over the countryside. Unified by its thematic and spatial focus, this book offers an array of interdisciplinary approaches, allowing for important comparisons across a wide but connected geographical area in the transition from the Sasanian and Roman to the Islamic period.
