Maintenir le plaisir à manger chez les personnes âgées dépendantes à risque de dénutrition : validation d’une échelle de mesure de l’appréciation aup…

2012

Introduction et but de l'étudeUne “bonne” alimentation est considérée comme l’un des facteurs clefs contribuant à la prévention des pathologies survenant avec l’âge. Mais une “bonne” alimentation, ce n’est pas uniquement satisfaire aux besoins nutritionnels de la population âgée. C’est aussi maintenir le plaisir à manger, composante essentielle de la régulation de la prise alimentaire et plus généralement du bien-être et de la qualité de vie (Grunert et al, 2007). Lors d’une enquête menée auprès de personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans, nous avons interrogé 289 personnes vivant à domicile sans aide et 95 personnes vivant en Établissement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes (EHPAD). Les résultats o…

Evaluation ex ante des conséquences de l'adoption de la production intégrée en grandes cultures à l'échelle de la Bourgogne

2015

The agriculture in France is under intense pressure. Farmers are asked to change their crop management, to evolve toward agroecology, to follow the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and to reduce pesticide use. However such an evolution toward an alternative agricultural model will be possible only if innovative cropping systems are able to maintain competitive and profitable farms.The aim of our work is to contribute to the debates about this issue, by evaluating ex ante the potential consequences of adopting the principles of IPM over one whole agricultural region, taking into account the diversity of production situations within this region. We considered the Burgundy region…

Indicators of agricultural intensity and intensification: a review of the literature

2015

Since the 1960s, research has dealt with agricultural intensification (AI) as a solution to ensure global food security. Recently, sustainable intensification (SI) has increasingly been used to describe those agricultural and farming systems that ensure adequate ecosystem service provision. Studies differ in terms of the application scales and methodologies, thus we aim to summarize the main findings from the literature on how AI and SI are assessed, from the farm to global levels. Our literature review is based on 7865 papers selected from the Web of Science database and analysed using CorText software. A further selection of 105 relevant papers was used for an in-depth full-text analysis …

New insights into the use of rhizobia to mitigate soil N2O emissions

2022

Agriculture is a major anthropogenic source of the greenhouse gas N2O, which is also involved in stratospheric ozone depletion. While the use of rhizobial inoculants has already been reported as an emerging option for mitigating soil N2O emissions, this study presents an in situ abatement of 70% of soil N2O emission using the strain nosZ+ G49 vs. nosZ− USDA138 in association with soybean. Therefore, we consider that the choice of the inoculant strain of a leguminous crop should take into account the capacity of strains to reduce nitrous oxide in addition to their N fixation capacity. This study also clearly suggests that this mitigation option could be considered not only for soybean but al…

Mechanisms involved in spatial and temporal mobility of disease patches caused by Rhizoctonia solani in sugar beet field : Induction of antagonists w…

2008

National audience; Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 causes damping-off and root rot on sugar beet in patches that are highly mobile both on spatial and temporal scales. They never occur in the same place where they were in the previous season. The aim of the present study was to uncover the mechanisms underlying the dynamics of disease patches. It was observed that soil inoculum potential was higher within diseased patch than in healthy area. However, the dormant pathogen in healthy area was stimulated by addition of buckwheat meal more than that in diseased patch. In addition soil from diseased area was more suppressive towards the disease. We did not observe significant differences in bacterial …

Contrasting Spatial Patterns and Ecological Attributes of Soil Bacterial Taxa across French National Territory

2017

EA SPE BIOME GENOSOL UB UB Agrosup EA SPE BIOME GENOSOL UB UB AgrosupEASPEBIOMEGENOSOLUB UB Agrosup; Even though recent studies have clarified the influence of environmental filters on bacterial community diversity, those constraining bacterial populations variations remain unclear. In consequence, our ability to understand the ecological attributes of soil bacteria and to predict microbial community response to environmental stress is therefore limited. Here, we characterized the bacterial community composition and the various bacterial taxonomic groups constituting the community across the French country, by using a 16x16 km systematic grid representing 1825 sites to precisely decipher th…
