description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Research , Preprint 2014 SpainPublisher:Sociedad Española de Historia Agraria Authors: Juan Infante Amate; Eduardo Aguilera; Manuel González de Molina;The main objective of this work is to reconstruct the consumption of the different types of energy by the Spanish agri-food system (AFS) between 1960 and 2010. The initial hypothesis, of a high increase in energy consumption during that period, was derived from the evidence of a growing consumption of capital and inputs in the activities related with production and management of food products in Spain. According to our results, energy consumption in the whole Spanish agro-food chain has increased by a factor of 10. It has grown at a much faster pace than total energy consumption, than total food production and even than GDP. Transport and agriculture are the sectors with the most relevant energy use in the studied period, representing 47-60% of total AFS consumption. In a first stage, agricultural production absorbed the majority of the growth in energy consumption, while since 1985 other sectors have pushed the continuation of the growth. Our results indicate that roughly one fifth of final energy consumed by Spanish economy is related. El principal objetivo de este trabajo es el de reconstruir los consumos de diferente formas de energía por parte del SAA español entre 1960 y 2010. La hipótesis de partida derivaba de la evidencia del creciente consumo de input y capital de las actividades relacionadas con la producción y gestión de alimentos en nuestro país desde 1960 hasta la actualidad. Los resultados más relevantes nos informan de que el consumo de energía en toda la cadena agroalimentaria se ha multiplicado por 10,2. Lo ha hecho a un ritmo muy superior que el consumo de energía total, que la población, que el consumo total de alimentos e incluso que el PIB. Los trasportes y la agricultura han sido los sectores cuyo consumo ha sido más relevante en todo el período de estudio, llegando a concentrar entre un 47-60% de los consumos totales. En una primera fase la agricultura absorbió la mayor parte de los consumos de energía totales mientras que desde 1985 ha moderado su crecimiento y han sido otros sectores los que han empujado el crecimiento. En términos de energía final consumida en el país, según nuestros resultados, una de cada cinco unidades energéticas consumidas en el total de la economía está relacionada con actividades agroalimentarias.

Durante el siglo XX ha tenido lugar un extraordinario proceso urbanizador en todo el planeta, sin precedentes en la historia de la Humanidad. El metabolismo de los sistemas urbanos es cada vez más exigente en materiales, suelo, agua y energía, y provoca graves impactos a escala global. El último ciclo expansivo inmobiliario, que ha sido especialmente intenso en España, ha promovido además un modelo de ciudad difusa con marcados rasgos de insostenibilidad, como son el elevado consumo de recursos (suelo, agua, energía, materiales), un modelo de movilidad basado en el uso masivo del coche, el deterioro del espacio público, la segregación social, etc. La movilidad motorizada, particularmente, constituye uno de los principales problemas de los sistemas urbanos. Es muy probable que en el futuro no haya energía suficiente como para que toda la demanda de movilidad pueda ser asumida por el transporte público, por lo que “movilidad sostenible” debe empezar a entenderse como “movilidad no motorizada”. Para ello debe recuperarse el modelo de ciudad compacta y la creación de cercanía. Se toma la ciudad de Sevilla como estudio particular de caso, donde en los últimos 3 años se está promoviendo de forma muy significativa la movilidad no motorizada (desplazamientos a pie y en bicicleta) en detrimento del coche. Concretamente, el auge de la bicicleta en Sevilla podemos calificarlo de espectacular, provocando un importante ahorro energético y un significativo cambio modal desde el coche. En la actual situación de cambio global, crisis sistémica y probable colapso energético en un futuro no muy lejano, la experiencia de Sevilla supone un ejercicio de resiliencia socioecológica, anticipando la incertidumbre y los riesgos futuros. Contribuye, además, a que la ciudad participe del debate sobre territorios inteligentes, inteligencia compartida, etc. During the 20th century an extraordinary urbanizing process, unprecedented in the history of Humanity, took place across the planet. The metabolism of urban systems constantly demands more materials, land, water and energy, which brings about serious impacts on a global scale. The last real estate cycle, which was especially intense in Spain, has promoted in addition a model of a diffused city with remarkable unsustainable characteristics, such as the elevated consumption of resources (land, water, energy, materials), a model of mobility based on massive car use, the deterioration of public space, social segregation, etc. Motorized mobility, particularly, constitutes one of the main problems of urban systems. It is very probable that in the future there will not be sufficient energy to satisfy the whole demand for mobility only through public transport, so “sustainable mobility” must begin to be understood by us as “non motorized mobility”. It must reclaim the model of a compact city and the creation of proximity. The city of Seville is taken as a particular case in study, where in the last 3 years non motorized mobility (displacements on foot and by bicycle) to the detriment of the car has been extensively promoted. The usefulness of the bicycle in Seville can be described by us as spectacular, bringing about an important power saving and significant modal change from the car. In the present situation of global change, systemic crisis and probable near future power collapse, the example of Seville demonstrates an exercise of socio-ecological resilience, anticipating the future uncertainty and risks. It contributes, in addition, to the city in the debate of intelligent space, shared knowledge, etc.

On the other hand, we update to 2000 the estimates of the energy balance tor Spanish agriculture as a whole showing how the loss of energetic efficiency of agriculture has increased in the 90s. As a result of it, we have an agriculture with a growing and continuous dependence 01 energy, and not only due to the increasing use of machinery and fertilizers, but also because 01 the growing energy demand supported by electricity and petroleum, and related to the indiscriminate extension of the irrigable land with independence of the hydrological conditions of the territory.

Departamento de Presidencia Authors: Grifeu Font, Judith;Las ciudades sostenibles se definen por la interacción de tres indicadores: eficiencia económica, bienestar ciudadano y protección ambiental. El desarrollo urbano sostenible es un objetivo en sí mismo y a la vez, especialmente en su vertiente ecológica, un puntal de la estrategia para prevenir y mitigar los efectos del cambio climático. Las instituciones y gobiernos nacionales e internacionales se han volcado en reforzar la contribución de las políticas medioambientales al desarrollo sostenible del planeta. Pero para conseguir beneficios globales es importante actuar localmente. En un contexto de creciente concentración de la población mundial en áreas urbanas, las ciudades desempeñan un papel clave en la lucha contra el cambio climático, y no solo en su vertiente de mitigación o reducción de la severidad de los futuros impactos. El cambio climático ha aumentado la exposición de las ciudades a amenazas derivadas del mismo y, en consecuencia, la gestión del riesgo de desastres y la resiliencia deben integrarse en el diseño de políticas urbanas como parte de una estrategia global para alcanzar un desarrollo sostenible y garantizar la equidad intergeneracional. Sustainable cities are defined by the interaction of three indicators: economic efficiency, citizen well-being and environmental protection. Sustainable urban development is both an objective in itself and, especially in its ecological aspect, a cornerstone of the strategy to prevent and mitigate the effects of climate change. National and international institutions and governments have been committed to strengthening the contribution of environmental policies to the sustainable development of the planet. But to achieve global benefits it is important to act locally. In a context of increasing concentration of the world’s population in urban areas, cities play a key role in the fight against climate change, and not only in mitigating or reducing the severity of future impacts. Climate change has increased the exposure of cities to hazards from it and, consequently, disaster risk management and resilience must be integrated into urban policy design as part of a comprehensive adaptive strategy to achieve sustainable development and ensure intergenerational equity.
