Sustainability of Rural Systems

Balancing Heritage and Innovation

Belgium is a highly populated country with a long history of land exploitation. The landscape is modified through human impact, shaped by diverse agricultural practices, early urbanization and industrialization, the exploitation of quarries and mines and the dense development of canals, railways and motorway networks. Nevertheless, rural areas are important because farming activities, increasingly mechanized and technologically based, contribute to economic activity, especially to Belgian exports. Agriculture plays an important role in maintaining open space and offering many services, which may be called agroservices, to the new residents of the countryside and people seeking recreation. Due to this long history and sophisticated technological responses to different issues, Belgium is a suitable place to reflect on sustainability and how to balance cultural and natural heritage and innovation with special reference to the ecological and social dimensions.

Conference, symposium - History

Deuxièmes rencontres d’histoire de l’environnement en Belgique

Belgique, Luxembourg, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi

Le succès des premières rencontres nous incite à lancer les Deuxièmes rencontres d’histoire de l’environnement relatives à la Belgique (dans ses frontières anciennes et actuelles), ainsi qu’au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, au Congo, au Rwanda et au Burundi, dont elle a intimement partagé l’histoire. Celles-ci auront lieu les 29-30 novembre et 1er décembre 2012 à l'Université de Namur. Une publication des actes de ce colloque international et interdisciplinaire est prévue.
