Pêche durablevignette|Les images du capteur satellitaire SeaWiFS illustrant l'évolution de la production primaire océanique ont permis d'évaluer que les zones désertiques de l'océan ont progressé depuis 1998 de de (15 %), soit douze fois la superficie de la France. La pêche durable (anciennement soutenable, en traduction littérale de l'anglais sustainable) est l'application à la pêche des principes du développement durable ou soutenable tels que reconnus par la communauté internationale à Rio de Janeiro en .
IngénierieL'ingénierie est l'ensemble des fonctions qui mènent de la conception et des études, de l'achat et du contrôle de fabrication des équipements, à la construction et à la mise en service d'une installation technique ou industrielle. Par extension, le terme est aussi souvent utilisé dans d'autres domaines : on parle par exemple d'ingénierie informatique ou d'ingénierie financière.
Sustainable urbanismSustainable urbanism is both the study of cities and the practices to build them (urbanism), that focuses on promoting their long term viability by reducing consumption, waste and harmful impacts on people and place while enhancing the overall well-being of both people and place. Well-being includes the physical, ecological, economic, social, health and equity factors, among others, that comprise cities and their populations.
Design methodsDesign methods are procedures, techniques, aids, or tools for designing. They offer a number of different kinds of activities that a designer might use within an overall design process. Conventional procedures of design, such as drawing, can be regarded as design methods, but since the 1950s new procedures have been developed that are more usually grouped together under the name of "design methods". What design methods have in common is that they "are attempts to make public the hitherto private thinking of designers; to externalise the design process".
Regional integrationRegional Integration is a process in which neighboring countries enter into an agreement in order to upgrade cooperation through common institutions and rules. The objectives of the agreement could range from economic to political to environmental, although it has typically taken the form of a political economy initiative where commercial interests are the focus for achieving broader socio-political and security objectives, as defined by national governments.
Sustainable food systemA sustainable food system is a type of food system that provides healthy food to people and creates sustainable environmental, economic, and social systems that surround food. Sustainable food systems start with the development of sustainable agricultural practices, development of more sustainable food distribution systems, creation of sustainable diets, and reduction of food waste throughout the system. Sustainable food systems have been argued to be central to many or all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Process engineeringProcess engineering is the understanding and application of the fundamental principles and laws of nature that allow humans to transform raw material and energy into products that are useful to society, at an industrial level. By taking advantage of the driving forces of nature such as pressure, temperature and concentration gradients, as well as the law of conservation of mass, process engineers can develop methods to synthesize and purify large quantities of desired chemical products.
Intégration économiquevignette|250px|Carte des États membres de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce (OMC). En vert foncé : États membres, en vert clair : États membres de l'OMC et de l'Union européenne, en bleu : pays observateurs, en gris : pays non-membres. L’intégration économique est le processus de mise en réseau et d'unification de systèmes économiques nationaux et des politiques économiques entre différents États. L'intégration passe par l'abolition partielle ou totale des restrictions tarifaires (taxes, droits de douane) et non tarifaires sur le commerce.
Engineering managementEngineering management is the application of the practice of management to the practice of engineering. Engineering management is a career that brings together the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and the organizational, administrative, legal and planning abilities of management in order to oversee the operational performance of complex engineering-driven enterprises. A Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is sometimes compared to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) for professionals seeking a graduate degree as a qualifying credential for a career in engineering management.
Impact environnemental de l'agricultureL'agriculture est une activité humaine qui modifie profondément les écosystèmes naturels afin de produire des ressources (principalement alimentaires) utiles aux humains. Elle occupe une proportion importante des surfaces de terres émergées, avec des conséquences majeures pour être utiles aux humains. Les impacts de l'agriculture sur les sols et la biodiversité existent depuis son apparition, il y a environ .
DFXLe sigle anglais DFX, formé à partir des initiales de Design For X, est l'ensemble des règles à observer lors de l'étude, la conception d'un circuit intégré ou d'un système électronique ou encore de tout système afin d'améliorer le terme qui remplacerait la lettre X.
