Sustainable development, family farming, territories and biofuels seen through a comparative analysis of public agricultural policy in Brazil, France and Europe.
In this book, a number of Brazilian and French researchers conduct a comparative analysis of public policy, centring on the overall process by which policies and programmes are drawn up for agricultural and rural areas in Brazil, France and Europe. They look at sustainable development, family farming, territories and biofuels, along other things. The book stresses the importance of taking account of the specificities of the agriculture and rural areas in each country when drafting public policy, by analysing their relevance and efficacy.
Social participation, coordination facilities and the building of pacts and consensuses are some of the questions addressed in the book's eleven chapters.
Análise comparada de políticas agrícolas was written as part of various research projects and groups, notably the
Observatory on Public Policies for Agriculture (OPPA), part of the Programme of Postgraduation of Social Sciences in Development, Agriculture and Society (CPDA) at the Rural Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) and the project on
production of policies and institutional compromises concerning sustainable development (PROPOCID), led by CIRAD.
