Dans ce livre-somme en deux volumes, le journaliste Denis Lefèvre nous raconte l’évolution de l’agriculture à travers les époques. Car retracer l’histoire de ce secteur nous amène non seulement à (re)découvrir tout un pan essentiel de l’évolution de nos sociétés, mais aussi à réfléchir aux enjeux qui perdurent aujourd’hui.
Throughout the history of agriculture, a whole essential swathe of the evolution of our societies opens with its personalities, famous or not, who build this saga, both technological and social, cultural, and ecological, religious, and botanic, animal, and economic, local and global. And let’s not forget all these generations of farmers, laboriously fighting in all times and all over the world against poverty and hunger. Even more, agriculture today figures as a central element in the challenges our society faces.
A sum of knowledge that you read like a novel! “A tremendously well-documented book, reflecting the vast knowledge gathered by Denis Lefèvre, a journalist and a writer who came from a farmer’s family.” Sustained Development Dictionary
