Climate change, society issues and sustainable agriculture

Résumé

Despite its prediction 100 years ago by scientists studying CO2, man-made climate change has been officially recognised only in 2007 by the Nobel prize committee. Climate changes since the industrial revolution have already deeply impacted ecosystems. I report major impacts of climate change on waters, terrestrial ecosystems, agriculture, and economy in Europe. The lesson of the climate change story is that humans do not learn from scientists until it really hurts. Furthermore, all society issues cannot be solved anymore using the old, painkiller approach because all issues are now huge, linked, global and fast-developing. In that respect, actual society structures are probably outdated. Here, agronomists are the most advanced scientists to solve society issues because they master the study of complex systems, from the molecule to the global scale. Now more than ever agriculture is a central point to which all society issues are bound. Indeed, humans eat food.
