Det danske landskab er blevet ændet af mennesker gennem årtusinder: fra jernalderens voldkransede og ard-pløjede market til vor tids storlandbrug, fredninger og økologiske landbrug. Selvom det danske landskab præges af de moderne udviklinger, peger mange strukturer langt tilbage i historien - som placeringen af de smukke løvskove, der har rødder mindst 3000 år tilbage.Denne bog følger ni danske landskabers historie gennem de sidste to årtusinder, og for første gang sættes der tal på, hvor meget skov, hede og opdyrket areal der var i denne periode. Det traditionelle kulturlandskabs opløsning efter år 1800 undersøges også, og der gives bud på, hvad disse ændringer har betydet for dyrs levesteder i landskabet. Danske landbruglandskaber gennem 2000 år er skrevet af 15 forskere, som har samarbejdet i det tværvidenskabelige projekt AGRAR 2000.

Hvor var Danmark i dag, hvis landbruget havde haft mulighed for at udvikle sig åbent og spraglet igennem de seneste 100 år? Frisat fra centralstyring og et planøkonomisk andelssystem? Havde Danmarks indre farvande været døde?Havde minilandet Danmark været verdens fjerdestørste svineeksportør?Havde danske landmænd været klodens mest forgældede?Havde Danmark haft levende gårde i samme antal som i vores nabolande?Når enighed gør svag giver dig bedre forudsætninger for at navigere i landbrugsdebattens heftige bølger. En debat, hvor argumentationen ofte tangerer verbal borgerkrig. Dansk landbrug er dybt forankret i sit enighed gør stærk-tankesæt, og det er en forankring, der har ført det gamle erhverv ud på en global solosejlads. Bogens formål er ikke at angribe dansk landbrugs ubestrideligt effektive fodfolk, men at belyse blinde pletter i en indadvendt, dansk landbrugsvirkelighed og samtidig rejse påtrængende spørgsmål. Med mange års erfaring som landmand har Hans Jacob Petersen været med hele vejen fra slægtsgård til massiv, industriel stordrift og kender erhvervet og andelsbevægelsen inde fra maskinrummet. Forfatteren skriver med et glimt i øjet, og der er også fundet plads til skæve vinkler og hjemmebagte sønderjyske bondesange.

This book analyses situations of coexistence and confrontation of agricultural and food models according to four major dimensions of territorial development: the tension between specialisation and diversification; innovation; adaptation; and food transition. New agricultural and food models are being deployed in territories around the world in response to criticisms of the old forms of agriculture and food production, and in order to meet new challenges. These models embody archetypes of the observed diversity, actors¿ projects or new norms.A number of conceptual studies and case studies from France and other countries allow us to understand the interactions between these models (confrontation, complementarity, co-evolution, hybridisation, etc.), taking us well beyond the characterisation of their diversity and the evaluation of their relative performances. The coexistence and confrontation of these models build up their capacity for radical change.The book asks original questions about the analytical framework, its methodological challenges and the expected outcomes for the support of agricultural and food development in rural and urban territories. It is intended for researchers, teachers, students and professionals interested in territorial development.Pierre Gasselin, Sylvie Lardon, Claire Cerdan, Salma Loudiyi and Denis Sautier are the scientific coordinators of this book. They are geographers and economists at CIRAD, INRAE and VetAgro Sup, where they conduct research on the transformation of agriculture, food systems and territories in France and other countries. This book is the result of a collective research process involving 36 authors from Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Burkina Faso, France, Japan, Switzerland and Vietnam.Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, author of the Foreword, is Professor Emeritus of Rural Sociology at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and Associate Professor of Agricultural Sociology at the China Agricultural University in Beijing. He has conducted extensive research on processes of agricultural transition and on dynamics of rural development.

Through diverse engagements with natural resource extraction and ecological vulnerability in the contemporary Arctic, contributors to this volume apprehend Arctic resource regimes through the concept of abstraction. Abstraction refers to the creation of new material substances and cultural values by detaching parts from existing substances and values. The abstractive process differs from the activity of extractive industries by its focus on the conceptual resources that conceal processes of exploitation associated with extraction. The study of abstraction can thus help us attune to the formal operations that make appropriations of value possible while disclosing the politics of extraction and of its representation.

With recipes for over 80 natural cheeses and complimentary ferments, this groundbreaking, comprehensive book guarantees high-quality results and perfect flavors for every season. Cheese is milk's destiny. In Milk Into Cheese, cheesemakers at every scale will learn to produce a broad range of traditional cheeses, entirely naturally. Experienced educator, activist, and celebrated natural cheesemaker David Asher introduces the reader to the cultures and practices of cheesemakers, the role our agricultural practices play in making cheese, the biological evolution of cheese, and the transformation of milk into cheese through fermentation. A perfect companion to David's The Art of Natural Cheesemaking, Milk Into Cheese expands the cheesemaker's tool kit through an exploration of cheesemaking styles from around the world. These natural cheesemaking processes are made simple, in contrast to the complicated, controversial, and confusing world of industrial cheesemaking, with its reliance on freeze-dried cultures, chemical additives, and ever-expanding use of expensive technology. Milk Into Cheese also celebrates the world's most delicious seasonal hand-made cheeses, including alpine, blue, and milled cheeses. Through gorgeous photography, helpful illustrations, and detailed recipes, David prepares the reader for their own journey into traditional natural cheesemaking. He also shares simple recipes for fermented foods that complement and help us understand cheesemaking better, including pickles, sourdough bread, butter, and salami. For home, small-scale, and larger-scale cheesemakers, Milk Into Cheese delivers a sophisticated look at the biological science that informs--and the ecological principles that guide--natural cheesemaking. Praise for The Art of Natural Cheesemaking "The wisdom [Asher] shares is complex in nature, but satisfyingly simple in practice." --Edible Manhattan
