“…C'est par référence à cette approche que nous souhaitons interroger la notion d'agriculture soutenable. Dans la littérature, plusieurs déinitions ont été proposées (Altieri, 1995 ;Pretty, 2008 ;Conway, 1996Conway, , 2007Douguet et Schembri, 2007). Les modèles présentés reposent sur l'idée que l'agriculture n'est pas seulement la cause de certaines dégradations environnementales.…”

La mise en oeuvre de la révolution verte en Inde s'est traduite par une utilisation excessive de pesticides et d'engrais, conduisant à des formes de vulnérabilités des milieux naturels, sociaux et économiques. Au début des années 1990, les limites posées par le modèle de la révolution verte ont conduit à la déinition de formes revisitées de l'agriculture jugées plus soutenables pour la sécurité alimentaire et la préservation de l'environnement. L'article vise à examiner les enjeux de soutenabilité associés à l'agriculture en Inde. Dans un premier temps, l'objectif est d'apporter un éclairage analytique de la notion de soutenabilité du point de vue conceptuel et méthodologique. Dans un deuxième temps, il s'agit d'examiner les implications de cette discussion théorique pour l'agriculture au travers de l'expérience indienne.

“…More recently, Mazari-Hiriart et al (2006) applied MCDA to assess ground water vulnerability to organic compounds. Many studies applying MCDA to water management have focused on the field of sustainable development in watersheds subject to land use conflicts (i.e., Douguet and Schembri 2006;Simon et al 2003;Hellström et al 2000).…”

Outbreaks of microbiological waterborne disease have increased governmental concern regarding the importance of drinking water safety. Considering the multi-barrier approach to safe drinking water may improve management decisions to reduce contamination risks. However, the application of this approach must consider numerous and diverse kinds of information simultaneously. This makes it difficult for authorities to apply the approach to decision making. For this reason, multi-criteria decision analysis can be helpful in applying the multi-barrier approach to vulnerability assessment. The goal of this study is to propose an approach based on a multi-criteria analysis method in order to rank drinking water systems (DWUs) based on their vulnerability to microbiological contamination. This approach is illustrated with an application carried out on 28 DWUs supplied by groundwater in the Province of Québec, Canada. The multi-criteria analysis method chosen is measuring attractiveness by a categorical based evaluation technique methodology allowing the assessment of a microbiological vulnerability indicator (MVI) for each DWU. Results are presented on a scale ranking DWUs from less vulnerable to most vulnerable to contamination. MVI results are tested using a sensitivity analysis on barrier weights and they are also compared with historical data on contamination at the utilities. The investigation demonstrates that MVI provides a good representation of the vulnerability of DWUs to microbiological contamination.
