Marcusa Vogta próba integracji zasad ekorozwoju z Katolicką Nauką Społeczną

In this article, we have attempted to answer the question of the possibilities of integrating the principles of eco-development with Catholic social teaching. We have done so on the basis of the works of a German moral theologian M. Vogt. The integration of the principles of eco-development with the Catholic social teaching may take place in a dialogue between the theology of creation together with its implications and the knowledge of nature. Considering the issue from the socio-ethical perspective it is vital to work out a new social agreement, which would take into account justified, although unspecified, claims of future generations. The integration of the principles of eco-development with Catholic social teaching is by no means impossible, although Vogt warns against treating the concept of eco-development as a superior issue - it is not a solution itself, but rather a key to the solution of contemporary problems at an intersection of three dimensions: social, economic and ecological. The proposed principle of eco-development shall become autonomous not in isolation to the traditional principles of Catholic social teaching, but in relation to them. The novelty of this principle is more about a new perspective, where man has to learn to see himself as part of creation as a whole. The principle also calls for a new way of thinking, which is the transition from a linear to a network way of thinking

Ornamental plant breeding in a changing competitive environment

Die Zierpflanzenzüchter agieren in einem globalen Markt und sind gefordert, Sorten zu entwickeln, die weltweit produziert und gehandelt werden können. Die Zierpflanzenbranche insgesamt befindet sich aktuell in einer Phase der Konsolidierung. Sowohl in der Züchtung als auch in Produktion und Handel ist eine stetige Konzentration auf weniger und größere Unternehmen zu beobachten. Im Hinblick auf den Konsumenten ist in den entwickelten Märkten wie Deutschland derzeit eine Stagnation und für viele Produkte sogar ein Rückgang des Konsums zu verzeichnen. In anderen Regionen Europas, Asiens und Südamerikas entstehen wiederum neue Märkte für Zierpflanzen.Die Zierpflanzenzüchtung muss in ihrer Zielsetzung die Anforderungen und die Interessen aller Akteure in der Wertschöpfungskette vom Produzenten über den Handel bis zum Konsumenten berücksichtigen. Zielsetzung ist vorrangig die Effizienz in der Produktion sowie die Qualitätssicherung auf dem Weg vom Produzenten zum Konsumenten. Daneben wird Nachhaltigkeit in Form von ressourcenschonender Produktion und dem verminderten Einsatz von Pflanzenschutzmitteln ein zunehmend wichtigeres Züchtungsziel. Vor allem im Hinblick auf den Konsumenten haben Neuheiten für die Zierpflanzenzüchtung immer eine besondere Bedeutung gehabt und können in Bezug auf die aktuell intensiv diskutierte Inwertsetzung von Zierpflanzen einen wesentlichen Beitrag leisten. Neben der Züchtung von Sorten mit neuen Merkmalen in etablierten Zierpflanzenarten hat in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten eine enorme Ausweitung der züchterisch bearbeiteten Arten und Gattungen stattgefunden. Bis heute entstehen neue Zierpflanzensorten ....  siehe VolltextThe ornamental plant breeders operate in a global market and are required to develop varieties that can beproduced and commercialized worldwide. The entire ornamental plant sector is currently in a phase of consolidation. Both in breeding as well as in production and trade a steady concentration on less but larger companies can be observed. With regard to the consumer, the ornamental plant consumption in developed markets such as Germany is currently stagnating or even declining for many products. However, in other regions of Europe, Asia and South America new markets for ornamental plants are emerging.In its objective, ornamental plant breeding must take into account the requirements and the interests of allactors in the value chain from the producer via the retail market to the consumer. The targets are primarily efficiency in production as well as quality assurance on the way from the producer to the consumer. Sustainability in terms of resource-conserving production and reduced use of chemicals is becoming an increasingly important breeding target. Particularly with regard to the consumer, novelties have always been very important for the ornamental plant business, and they can make a significant contribution to the currently intensively discussed valorisation of ornamental plants. Along with the breeding of varieties with new traits in established ornamental plant species, over the past two decades there has been an enormous expansion of genera and species which are used in breeding.Until now, new ornamental plant varieties are almost exclusively produced by conventional cross-breeding. In maddition, mutation breeding is an important breeding method. ... see full text for mor

Plan piloto para la recuperación y protección del paramo del Sumapaz (corregimiento de San Juan )

El proyecto aborda la problemática del deterioro del páramo de Sumapaz y promueve el desarrollo de un diseño urbano ambiental sostenible. Este servirá como sistema de amortiguación ambiental. En una primera etapa se generará un proceso de reubicación de la comunidad campesina y de las actividades económicas. Se crearán dos puntos de control dentro del páramo para que desde estos se genere un proceso adecuado de restauración en las zonas deterioradas. Como eje central del diseño urbano ambiental se encuentra un borde el cual desarrolla un recorrido que dividirá las actividades antrópicas del ecosistema de páramo. Este límite y área de amortiguación generará un ordenamiento territorial en las actividades humanas y uso del suelo, para así, aminorar el impacto en el ecosistema del páramo y en las fuentes hídricas. Al mismo tiempo este borde propondrá una seria de actividades para que los habitantes del lugar y visitantes tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar del ecosistema sin generar ningún tipo de amenaza a este.Para que este proyecto tenga un control del páramo y genere un adecuado orden en las actividades antrópicas, se proponen dos centros de apoyo: Uno el centro de investigación ambiental, desde el cual se adelantarán actividades de monitoreo y recuperación ambiental del ecosistema, así como la investigación y la educación de los ecosistemas de páramo. Dos, el centro de emprendimiento campesino desde el cuál se brindarán herramientas para que los habitantes del lugar puedan mejorar en el desarrollo de sus actividades económicas, brindando espacios para la capacitación de los campesinos en temas agropecuarios, de ganadería, de guarda bosques y ambientales apuntando a proteger el ecosistema de páramo para las generaciones presentes y futuras.The project focus the problem of deterioration of Sumapaz land scape and promotes the development of environmentally sustainable urban design. This will work as environmental damping system. In a first step a process of relocation of the rural community and economic activities are generated. There will be two points of control into the wilderness to be created from these a proper restoration process is generated in the damaged areas. At the center of the environmental urban design is an edge which develops a path that divided human activities paramo ecosystem. This limit and generate a buffer zone land use in human activities and land use, thus, lessen the impact on the ecosystem of the wilderness and water sources. At the same time this edge will propose a series of activities for residents and visitors have the opportunity to enjoy the ecosystem without causing any threat to this. For this project to control the moor and generate an appropriate order in human activities, two support centers are proposed: One environmental research center, from which monitoring activities and environmental recovery of the ecosystem will be advanced, and the research and education paramo ecosystem. Two peasant entrepreneurship center from which tools will be provided to the locals to improve the development of economic activities, providing space for training farmers in agricultural issues, livestock, forest and environmental guard pointing to protect the ecosystem of wasteland for generations present and future.Arquitecto (a)Pregrad

Sustainable Food Consumption of German Millennials: Exploring the "Attitude Behavior Gap"

This thesis picked up on the recent trend of sustainability and sustainable development by investigating the sustainable food consumption of German Millennials regarding an assumed gap between their attitude and their actual consumer behavior. Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, a multi-step, qualitative research process was developed in order to find explanations for the attitude behavior gap. The process triangulated data from questioning ten German Millennial consumers via qualitative interviews, observing these consumers during a regular grocery shopping trip and analyzing the products they bought. The study revealed the following barriers preventing the participants from consuming according to their attitude: price, lack of knowledge on part of the consumers, insufficient sustainable product ranges, consumers minimizing the time spent for grocery shopping, habitualized purchase decisions and in exceptional cases a desire for unsustainable products. Accordingly, recommendations were derived for sustainable food manufacturers and supermarket chains, public policy and consumers. Additionally, this thesis contributes to consumer research on the attitude behavior gap as well as on behavioral research by applying and extending the Theory of Planned Behavior. Keywords: Sustainable consumption; attitude behavior gap; consumer behavior; food consumption Verbal Protocol Analysis;Theory of Planned Behavior.This thesis picked up on the recent trend of sustainability and sustainable development by investigating the sustainable food consumption of German Millennials regarding an assumed gap between their attitude and their actual consumer behavior.

Die Zukunft vor uns? Wachstumsrücknahme und Möglichkeit der Änderung der sozialen Politik

Suvremene državne politike ograničene su prioritetom ekonomskog rasta za koji se sve više propituje doprinosi li osobnom blagostanju. U stručnim se i javnim raspravama sve češće mogu naći teorije o granicama ekonomskog rasta, s posebnim osvrtom na klimatske promjene. Takve spoznaje oblikuju i nova kretanja na međunarodnoj razini usmjeravajući politike sve više prema ideji održivog razvoja. U domeni socijalne države promišljanja novih smjerova određena su izazovima koje identificiramo s procesima kao što su: globalizacija, pojava novih socijalnih rizika, visoka financijska opterećenja starih socijalnih programa, Europska unija, strahovi i politička inertnost te podržavanje protueuropskih struja, ali i prioritet politika jedinstvenog tržišta i stabilnosti javnih financija zbog kojih posljedično nedostaje adekvatan odgovor na postojeće izazove socijalne države. Promišljanjem izvan uobičajenih okvira rasta prema onom usmjerenom na održivi razvoj, kako zagovara i pokret odrast, koji u radu predstavljamo, u socijalnoj se politici javlja prostor za razvoj novih strategija i socijalnih inovacija sukladnih s principima odrasta. Cilj je ovog rada sagledati, kroz perspektivu odrasta, potencijalne ideje koje mogu transformirati socijalnu politiku. Rad analizira nekoliko ideja: univerzalni temeljni dohodak, revoluciju skrbi i socijalnu (i solidarnu) ekonomiju. Diskusija se osvrće na načine kako novoformirane ideje i strategije mogu ponuditi rješenja za postojeće izazove s kojima se suvremeno društvo i socijalna politika suočavaju. Promišljanje odrasta predstavlja prostor za nova rješenja koja mogu potencijalno voditi k održivim socijalnim politikama i podmirivanju ljudskih potreba, na što se u zaključku i osvrćemo.Modern government policies are limited by prioritizing economic growth, a strategy that is being increasingly questioned as it is not clear whether it really contributes to the development of personal wellbeing. New theories in professional and public debated are proposing the limits to economic growth, especially with regards to climate change. These new ideas have also been increasingly influencing policies at the international level, directing them more toward such concepts as sustainable development. The welfare state faces several challenges, to which it lacks adequate response, and which stand in the way of implementing new approaches: globalization, the emergence of new social risks, the heavy financial burdens of old social programs, the European Union, with its fears and political inertia, the rise of anti-European tendencies, and the emphasis on the politics of the single market and the stability of public finances. Thinking about growth outside the usual framework, by putting emphasis on sustainable development, as advocated by the degrowth movement, which we present in this paper, can potentially lead to the development of new strategies and social innovations in existing social politics, more in line with the degrowth principles. This paper analyzes several aspects of social policies that can potentially be transformed through the perspective of degrowth: the basic universal income, the revolutionizing the care system, and the social (and solidarity) economy. We discuss how these new ideas and strategies can become solutions to the existing challenges facing contemporary societies and their social policies. Degrowth opens up the space for new solutions that can potentially lead to sustainable social policies and fulfilling human needs, which we discuss in the conclusion.Zeitgenössische Staatspolitiken sind durch die Priorität des ökonomischen Wachstums begrenzt, man stellt sich aber immer wieder die Frage, ob es dem persönlichen Wohlstand beiträgt. In fachlichen und öffentlichen Diskussionen wird immer öfter über die Grenzen des ökonomischen Wachstums gesprochen, insbesondere hinsichtlich des Klimawandels. Solche Erkenntnisse bilden neue Bewegungen auf der internationalen Ebene und steuern die Politiken immer mehr in Richtung der Idee der nachhaltigen Entwicklung. In der Domäne des sozialen Staates sind neue Richtungen durch Herausforderungen bestimmt, die mit Prozessen gleichgestellt werden wie: Globalisierung, neue soziale Risiken, hohe finanzielle Belastung, alte soziale Programme, Europäische Union, Ängste und politische Trägheit, sowie Unterstützung von antieuropäischen Strömungen, aber auch die Priorität der Politiken des einheitlichen Marktes und der Stabilität von öffentlichen Finanzen, als deren Folge es an einer adäquaten Antwort auf bestehende Herausforderungen des sozialen Staates mangelt. Wenn man außer dem üblichen Rahmen des Wachstums die Nachaltigkeit überlegt, so wie es die Bewegung der Wachstumsrücknahme befürwortet, die wir in dieser Arbeit vorstellen, entsteht in der sozialen Politik Raum für die Entwicklung neuer Strategien und sozialer Innovationen gemäß Prinzipien der Wachstumsrücknahme. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, mögliche Ideen aus der Perspektive der Wachstumsrücknahme zu erkennen, die die soziale Politik transformieren können. Die Arbeit analysiert eionige Ideen: ein universelles Grundeinkommen, eine Pflegerevolution und eine soziale (und solidarische) Ökonomie. Die Diskussion prüft die Art und Weise, wie neugebildete Ideen und Strategien Lösungen für bestehende Herausforderungen anbieten können, mit denen sich die zeitgenössische Gesellschaft und die soziale Politik konfrontieren. Die Überlegung der Wachstumsrücknahme bietet Raum für neue Lösungen, die möglicherweise zu nachahltigen sozialen Politiken und Befriedigung von menschlichen Bedürfnissen führen können, was wir im Schluss berücksichtigen
