L’importance des politiques agricoles en termes de sécurité, de défense et de souveraineté
Authors
May 11, 2016

Est-ce que l’agriculture n’a effectivement plus de place dans les composantes des stratégies nationales de défense ? Si l’exemple européen et celui de l’OCDE nous poussent vers une réponse affirmative; le contre-exemple nous vient des Etats-Unis d’Amérique qui considèrent l’agriculture et les questions alimentaires comme faisant partie intégrante de la sécurité nationale.

Congressional approval of the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion fiscal package and the vaccination march against COVID-19 explain the rise in the estimate. However, it should not be forgotten that growth in 2021 will follow a fall in GDP of 3.5% last year. While the expected unemployment rate at the end of 2021 is now 4 ...

The world is facing a maddening bottleneck, predicted in October 2020 by the Policy Center for the New South on its opinion page, quoting scientists calculations that twelve to fifteen billion vaccine shots were needed, but glass manufa ...
