N°58 – Feeding the world better: crop diversification to build sustainable food systems. Éric Malézieux, Damien Beillouin, David Makowski

Crop diversification is a key principle of the agroecological transition. It increases the production of healthy food and provides numerous ecosystem services. It is an essential part of the transition required in food systems.

N°59 (this issue is part of the Perspective series on Crises and food security) – Intervention on biofuels and the Japan WTO rice stock to stabilise world food prices. Franck Galtier.

To limit instability in world grain and vegetable oil prices, two levers exist: regulating the use of these products to produce biofuels, and mobilising the Japan WTO rice stock.
