Monograph on contemporary problems of agriculture in France, with particular freference to social movements of rural workers - comprises a literature survey on agricultural policy, income distribution, agricultural production, social protection, trade unionism, rural migration, innovation, trends, etc.

This book addresses the pressing question of rural poverty.

Introducing the study of econostalgias through a variety of rich ethnographic cases, this volume argues that a strictly human centered approach does not account for contemporary longings triggered by ecosystem upheavals. In this time of climate change, this book explores how nostalgia for fading ecologies unfolds into the interstitial spaces between the biological, the political and the social, regret and hope, the past, the present and the future.
