Irrigation Governance Challenges in the Mediterranean Region: Learning from Experiences and Promoting Sustainable Performance Type of publication: Book Author(s): Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Publisher: Springer Nature Year of publication: 2019 Place of publication: Berlin Pages: 225 p. ISBN (print): 9783-030-13553-9 ISBN (online) 978-3-030-13554-6 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-13554-6
Abstract: This publication aims at deriving governance lessons from the irrigation priority programs that have been implemented in selected focus countries (FCs) of the Mediterranean Region (MR) in the last two decades. The Mediterranean countries face similar problems in terms of water scarcity, but it is precisely the degree of scarcity that shapes the national priorities. To better understand these shades and variations, the publication focusses in eight countries, namely, Spain, Italy, Albania, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco, which have been very active in the implementation of irrigation programs and which provide a good mix of economic development stages. The adopted approach is mainly driven by the strong belief that much can be learnt from the analysis of the actual experiences regarding the governance processes connected with the main irrigation development programs. Each experience has its own values and when analyzed together, common problems and solutions emerge, and constitute an important
1
guidance for those directly engaged or in any way interested in these programs. Essentially, the book analyzes the following major programs: (i) Intensification of irrigated agriculture through the modernization/rehabilitation of existing irrigation systems with a specific window on groundwater governance; (ii) Institutional reforming with main focus on the transfer of irrigation management responsibilities-partially or totallyto Water Users’ Organizations (WUOs), known as Participatory Irrigation Management/Irrigation Management Transfer (PIM/IMT) programs; (iii) Improving of WUOs’ performance; (iv) PrivatePublic Partnerships (PPPs) in the water sector and irrigated agriculture; and (v)Application of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) systems to PIM/IMT processes and WUOs. The selection of these programs is based on one hand on the number of countries that have given priority to their implementation, and this applies essentially to the three first programs; and on the other hand, to the need for promoting new approaches as the PPP, or for improving the performance of local organizations, through a better diagnosis of their problems, identification of appropriate solutions, and application of M&E methodologies. Introduction: Recurrently researchers analyze experiences and try to draw practical lessons that may be used by other persons engaged in development work, since reality offers positive and negative aspects that planners and decision makers should consider. The present publication tries to learn from the experience of a number of selected countries in the Mediterranean Region in the implementation of some major irrigation programs in the last twenty years. For each country, a detailed profile was prepared. In a second phase, the profiles were critically analyzed from the perspective of the implemented irrigation programs, following a set of questions that were previously defined, and the chapters are largely built around the responses that could be drafted. In this way, the readers can consider the range of solutions that other countries have adopted for a similar problem or the approaches

that they followed to resolve them. The authors are strong believers that rarely solutions can be extrapolated since each country has its own peculiarities. However, ideas can emerge from what other countries have done and adapted to a specific situation, and the authors hope that, in this sense, this book may be a source of inspiration or guidance to solve some of the difficult problems that the water resources face in the Mediterranean Region.

Agrovoc: Mediterranean Water; Modernisation; Monitoring; Evaluation Performance; Rehabilitation. Cite this publication as: Khadra, R., Sagardoy, J.A., 2019. Irrigation Governance Challenges in the Mediterranean Region: Learning from Experiences and Promoting Sustainable Performance. Berlin: Springer Nature. Table of contents (7 chapters): National Irrigation Programs and Their Governance Under Water Scarcity Conditions: An Analytical Perspective Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 9-44 Summary: The main scope of this chapter is to analyze the process of establishing the priority programs of the irrigation sector at national level, the role of the governance organization in their implementation and management; and to open a window on groundwater governance. Irrigation Modernization and Rehabilitation Programs, A Spectrum of Experiences: Analysis and Lessons Learnt Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 45-78 Summary: In the former chapter, the main national irrigation programs in the focus countries of the Mediterranean Region were identified. Consistent with the approach of this publication, i.e. learning from experiences, a number of case studies will be described here, and we will try to learn from each of them a relevant lesson. Participatory Irrigation and Institutional Reforms in the Mediterranean Region: Governance Achievements and Problems Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 79-121 Summary: After an overview of the importance of the PIM/ IMT programs and some brief background information on their implementation in the focus countries, the chapter orients towards problem identification and solving. For this purpose, it highlights the main issues that characterize the implementation process of these programs. Within each issue, the solving approach adopted by different countries is analyzed. Problems and solutions are sometimes quite diverse because the purposes of these programs are also different in the respective countries. Nevertheless, learning lessons are retained and overall

conclusions drawn. Improving Local Governance: Problems and Solutions Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 123-161 Summary: This chapter will discuss the main issues affecting the satisfactory performance of local governance organizations, by identifying the major constraints and the appropriate solutions and approaches to overcome them, with emphasis on the soft means i.e. accompanying measures: institutional building, training, improved organization and others. Private Public Partnerships (PPPs) in Irrigation. Myth or Promising Reality? Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 163-199 Summary: Although different forms of public private (PP) contracts have been used in the water sector for more than 50 years, their use in the Mediterranean Region concentrated in the last two decades. The number of PP projects that have been implemented in the water sector is relatively modest, but they are considered as an important tool for improving water supply performance, leveraging finance, and stimulating competition and accountability. On the other hand, several water PPP projects have faced also challenges and not lived up to expectations. Much has been learnt from success and failure and as result, there is now considerable knowledge about PPPs drawn from these experiences. However, most of these experiences concern the domestic water supply and sanitation sector while those regarding irrigated agriculture are few and they will be documented in this chapter. This is largely explained by the fact that the payment for the water services in irrigation projects is highly unreliable and this represents a high risk for investors. M&E Systems for PIM/IMT Programs - Review of Experiences and Guidance for Their Application to WUOs Khadra Roula, Sagardoy Juan Antonio Pages 201-221 Summary: This chapter addresses the application of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) methodologies to PIM/ IMT programs. As a matter of fact, a major shortcoming of these programs worldwide, is the missed implementation of M&E systems that accompany them, and become a major instrument to correct, improve and learn. The main purpose of this chapter is to provide instruments that may help countries to reduce this gap.

FAO’s work on food safety With some 600 million cases of foodborne illnesses annually, and around 420 000 deaths, unsafe food represents a threat to human health, as well as to economies. Consumers have the right to expect that food available on domestic markets is safe. On 20 December 2018, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming the observanceof World Food Safety Day. Starting in 2019, every 7 June will be a time to celebrate the countless benefits of safe food. On this occasion, take a look below for publications on FAO’s work on food safety, aimed at reducing foodborne illness, supporting economic development and trade, and strengthening livelihoods and food security.

2018 was a year that saw IFLA enter into an exciting new phase of unprecedented global connection, inspiration and engagement. In this second year of the Global Vision discussion, we focused on developing ideas on how to realise each of the Global Vision’s top ten opportunities. Launched during the live-streamed President’s Meeting, the IFLA Global Vision Report Summary shaped the Global Vision discussion throughout 2018, during which the library field was asked to build the biggest Ideas Store for actions. This bottom-up approach was carried forward through six Global Vision regional workshops, the International Advocacy Programme Global Convening, regional meetings, and at the UN’s High Level Political Forum.
Promote high standards of provision and delivery of library and information services Encourage widespread understanding of the value of good library & information services Represent the interests of our members throughout the world
Core Values In pursuing these aims IFLA embraces the following four core values: 1. the endorsement of the principles of freedom of access to information. ideas and works of imagination and freedom of expression embodied in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; 2. the belief that people, communities and organisations need universal and equitable access to information, ideas and works of imagination for their social, educational, cultural, democratic and economic wellbeing; 3. the conviction that delivery of high quality library and information services helps guarantee that access; 4. the commitment to enable all Members of the Federation

Supporting Sustainable Development Globally: Libraries at the UN Regional Forums
Press Review
In preparation for global meetings on the SDGs in July and September, IFLA has been active at the regional level. The message: that at all levels, and across the 2030 Agenda, libraries and access to information are indispensable for progress. The process that leads to the High level Political Forum in July in New York each year passes through a series of meetings organised by each of the United Nations’ regional commissions. These are opportunities to focus on progress – and challenges – at a continental level, and share the ideas that can help countries accelerate towards delivering the SDGs. Libraries in all regions have much to contribute to success. IFLA has been happy to support them in showing this. Africa
Damilare Oyedele at the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development For the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development, over 1100 met in Marrakesh, Morroco on 16-18 April. They focused on the theme of empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality. With just 11 years remaining to the 2030 Agenda, Africa is still far behind in the implementation of the SDGs – a major concern for participants at the Forum. Damilare Oyedele, Cofounder & Chief Executive: Library and You represented International Federation of Library Association and Institutions (IFLA), underlining that libraries were ready to do their part. Through a presentation at the side event organised by the NGO Major Group Africa, he explained to participants that access to information was a prerequisite for achieving the SDGs and Agenda 2063. At other side events, he was able to reinforce the point that there is no access to information without functional and efficient libraries. This allowed for further discussion on how to realise the promise of libraries as drivers of development

and motors of change. Ongoing work to explore and set out the impact of libraries would help reinforce the case. Arab Region
Dr Fawz Absullah and Randa Chidiac at the Arab Forum for Sustainable Development Countries from the United Nations Western Asia region came together in Beirut on 9-11 April 2019. With a focus on some of the key SDG themes for this year – education, equality and political engagement – it was a strong opportunity to highlight what libraries can contribute. The importance of information for governments was key. When decisions are taken that affect millions of people, there is a pressing need for them to be based on the best evidence, and properly implemented. But this is often lacking in a region that remains off-track on several essential goals. Dr Fawz Abdullah and Randa Chidiac represented IFLA, participating in sessions on the engagement of adolescents and youth, rethinking inequality, and the need to find ways to support groups at greatest risk of exclusion. They intervened in each session, underlining the need to engage and empower people through information. They also noted the work that libraries in Lebanon are already doing to promote inclusion, how IFLA helped in this, and encouraged all participants to go home and contact their library associations in order to realise this promise. Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean Libraries also took part in the meetings in Geneva and Santiago de Chile, once again setting out the importance of access to information for development. In Geneva, representatives used the opportunity to engage with national delegates in order to ensure the inclusion of libraries in national development strategies. In Santiago, the library at the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) held a workshop on the role of big data in development. With the power – and potential risks – of this technology becoming clearer, the importance of the action, skills and values of libraries

The decisions taken in Brussels and Strasbourg have a significant impact on libraries. To prepare for the coming mandate of the European Parliament, IFLA and partners have developed a Library Manifesto for Europe. Policies at the European level can have a major effect on libraries. From the laws around copyright or the importation of cultural goods to funding programmes and even research, successful advocacy in Brussels and Strasbourg can offer real help to libraries across the region. The European Parliament elections, due to take place on 23-26 May, stand to change the face of the Parliament itself. The people elected will, for the next five years, be key interlocutors for libraries. The results will also shape the leadership of the European Commission and Presidency of the European Council. It is therefore an important moment to set out the priorities for libraries and their users, and seek guarantees of support. IFLA, working with partners in LIBER, EBLIDA, SPARC Europe and Public Libraries 2030, has therefore developed a Library Manifesto for Europe, setting out six key requests. These cover the work of libraries in supporting education and skills, research and innovation, and culture and heritage. They also include the need for Europe to play an active role in supporting libraries worldwide, both through its development programmes and the positions on issues such as copyright. Drawing on the Manifesto, IFLA is also working directly at the European level, as well as through its members at the national level to seek commitments from parties and

Efficient management of water resources: an analysis of grey literature for the new millennium Type of publication: Book Author(s): Nancy Contreras Publisher: Third World Centre for Water Management Year of publication: 2000 Place of publication: Atizapán de Zaragoza, Estado de México Pages: 320 p. Abstract: The “grey” literature are documents that are not published as books by commercial publishers and as papers in refereed journals. Those documents are an enormous source for information and data mining, but there are a limited number of published and purely distributed documents or non-published technical documents and reports in different languages. The World Commission on Water, undertaking a great effort, made an overview of such sources, and collected documents on specific topics from all over the world. A questionnaire was sent around asking water experts and institutions for documentation. The book covers 300 publications, mostly related to irrigation, and in the English and Spanish languages only. The book consists of six chapters on different topics. Each chapter has a short overview that sum marises the subject, and an abstract on each publication. Privatisation and private sector involvement is the subject of the first chapter. It deals with the transferring of different water management activities from the government to the private sector going on all over the world. About 20 papers are collected within a general review from Latin America, Africa and Asia. The management of international river basins in the second chapter is covered by 60 documents collected from all the continents. The management of international river basins is a very important international political issue, with plenty of strategies and models that are generally academic. There are also a lot of new initiatives in establishing international conventions with commissions for the management of water resources for international river basins. The third chapter, ‘‘Users participation in water management’’, deals with water management and the maintenance of irrigation systems. More than 30 documents, primarily from Asia, cover the general subject. Institutional straightening and development, including social relations in the country, are most important for the successful participation of users. National water issues are the subject of 30 documents and cover 16 countries all over the world. There are almost no common statements; almost each country has its own story with problems and specific solutions. Only 17 documents are overviewed in the World Water Vision for the Next Century. All other documents are presented in the annexes of the book, which is subdivided into 10 topics. The collected documents deal mostly with water policy, including the socio-economic problems of pri vatisation, institutional development, economy and law. Only a small number of documents are technical papers, and some include problems of biotechnology, hydropower, recreation and communication. The book is a very good source of information for experienced students and professionals interested in international water management issues.

ISBN: 0-19-563755-0 Serial Title: Water resources management series ; 4 Abstract: This book focuses on some strategic national and regional aspects of water in the regions of the Nile Basin, ie., Middle East and North Africa. Water is one of the main development challenges facing the Nile countries. Problems of frequent and prolonged drought and water quality (in ground and surface waters) are becoming very serious. Water quality is being considered by some to be the most series issue the country will have to address. Comprehensive management of the regions’ water resources will increasingly require agreements at National and transnational levels. An integrated approach for national and basin-wide development could contribute significantly in dealing with the problems. This book identifies technical solutions in a broad comprehensive framework which may contribute to an environmentally sustainable development benefitting all the Nile countries.

Management and development of major rivers Type of publication: Book Author(s): Aly M. Shady, Mohamed El-Moattassem, Essam Aly Abdel-Hafiz, Asit k. Biswas Publisher: Oxford University Press Year of publication: 1996 Place of publication: Calcutta Pages: 469 p. ISBN: 0-19-563470-5 Serial Title: Water resources management series, 3 Abstract: In nearly all countries, the importance of fresh water for every major aspect of development is fully recognized. However, during the last decade it has become clear that it is not a gift of limitless proportions that can be recklessly exploited. Moreover, the problems of fresh water availability have only recently been linked to larger environmental concerns. This book emerges from the activities of the “Nile 2000 Conference” held in February 1992 in Cairo. Selections from the over 100 paper presented cover a diverse range of topics, including the Nile, St. Lawrence, Mississippi, and Yellow Rivers, and issues of quality management, sedimentation regulation, and challenges for the coming millennium. Earth scientists and professionals in water management will find these proceedings an informative warning on the dangers facing our water supply.

ISBN: 90-5410-123-7 Serial Title: Hydraulic structures design manual / International association for hydraulic research ; 5 Abstract: Describes both physical and biological processes of pollution in aquatic environments. This text introduces theories and means of predicting the scale of environmental pollution and counter-measures. It also describes optimal allocation methods of facilities for sewage treatment. Hydraulic engineers are increasingly needed to remediate the environmental problems associated with man’s water use. Lakes and reservoirs suffer eutrophication through sewage and waste discharge making the water undrinkable. Rivers, which are self purifying, become overloaded by waste and sewage, and dissolved oxygen is depleted by excess bacterial and microbial feeding. Waste heat expulsion from power generators threatens large ecosystems, along rivers and in the sea. The nine chapters, abstracted separately, deal with theories, design formulae, and engineering practice used in this field, and include: lake and reservoir eutrophication; sediment-laden flows; water purification in rivers; river water quality improvement by aeration; waste disposal in the ocean; and fish protection. Agrovoc: Hydraulic engineering; Environmental aspects; Rivers; Water quality; Natural resources; Environmental pollution; Water use. Cite this publication as: Hino, M., 1994.

Environmental modelling for developing countries Type of publication: Book Editor(s): Asit. K. Biswas, T. N. Khoshoo, Ashok Khosla Publisher: Tycooly Publishing Year of publication: 1990 Place of publication: New York Pages: 166 p. ISBN: 1-85148-041-2 Serial Title: Natural resources and the environment series ; 25
Abstract: While environmental issues have always been considered to some extent in nearly all developing countries, it is only in the last decade that such issues have been systematically considered within any specific legal or institutional framework. It is widely accepted that the magnitude and complexity of environmental problems are likely to increase in the future and that they are to become even more important in the long-term development process of all developing countries. The paper reviews critically the present state of the art of environmental modelling, especially in terms of its application to the solution of real problems. There are some critical issues that environmental modellers must consider before the application of models can be extended in developing countries. Much of the existing literature, although emphasizing the role of the ‘decision maker’ demonstrates little experience of decision-making. There tends to be a strong emphasis on theoretical problems. Frequently, modelling approaches are very mechanistic, neglecting the complexity of the real world, while others fail to consider the dynamic nature of environmental conditions. Another serious constraint is poor data availability and reliability. Agrovoc: Environmental policy; Developing countries; Mathematical models; Natural resources; Environmental conditions.

Pritchard Publisher: CABI Publishing Year of publication: 2003 Place of publication: Wallingford Pages: 472 p. ISBN: 0-85199-653-1 Abstract: The Biology of Seeds is the proceedings of the Seventh International Workshop on Seeds, held in Salamanca, Spain between 12 and 16 May 2002. This workshop was the first organized ISSS meeting. It was attended by 270 participants from 33 countries. A total of 290 papers and posters were presented, and 49 of these are included in this book. The 169 contributors represent 18 countries, with most of them being from France (23%), United States (15%), or Spain (14%). Moreover, a broad range of species is covered in the book, particularly among the ecology papers. Of those papers (39) that primarily included 1-2 study species, Zea mays was the focus in 15% of them. Even though Arabidopsis thaliana is an important model plant for the study of seed biology, it was the primary study species in only one paper. The book is divided into five parts: seed development (10 papers), germination and dormancy (17), desiccation and other stress tolerances and conservation (11), seed ecology (6), and seed biotechnology (3). There also is a Preface and an introductory chapter by Bewley entitled “Seeds of hope; seeds of change,” which gives an overview of the influence of seeds in civilization, history of seed research, and future impact of seeds on human society with the advent of biotechnology. The Closing Lecture by Obendorf and Odorcic, entitled “Recent accomplishments and new opportunities in seed research,” presents a synopsis of papers in the book along with prospects of future research. The index includes both topics and species, and pages with illustrations or tables are bold. About half of the papers in the

Farmer-financed irrigation: the economics of reform Type of publication: Book Author(s): Leslie E. Small, Ian Carruthers Publisher: Cambridge University Press Year of publication: 1991 Place of publication: Cambridge Pages: 233 p. ISBN: 0-521-38073-1 Serial Title: Wye studies in agricultural and rural development Abstract: In this book, Leslie Small and Ian Carruthers examine in detail the potentials and limitations of user fees for financing irrigation operation and maintenance. Both authors have extensive field experience in irrigation in developing countries and have combined this experience with simple concepts of economics to examine possible institutional and financial reforms which would not simply ask farmers to pay for an inadequate irrigation service, but would create the potential for significant improvements in the quality of the service provided. The proposed elements of any such reform are discussed in depth - a system of user fees covering the recurrent costs of irrigation; a financially autonomous irrigation agency that can retain and use the fees to operate and maintain the irrigation facilities; and a macro policy environment that is not unduly skewed against the agricultural sector. Written in a style intended to convey economic perspectives and insights to non-economists, this book will be essential reading for all those concerned with the financing and performance of irrigation in developing countries.

Crop production in salt-effected soils Type of publication: Book Author(s): K.S. Dargan, I.C. Gupta, O.P. Singh Publisher: Oxford & IBH Publishing Co. Year of publication: 1982 Place of publication: New Delhi Pages: 276 p. Abstract: The course work for various degree programs are constantly revised and or new courses added so that the future teachers, researches and planners are able to face the new emerging challenges. The environmental concerns of irrigated agriculture in the form of water logging and soil salinity are expanding and impacting food grains production. These challenges are commonly articulated at various forums. Thus, reclamation, management and crop production practices of waterlogged salt affected soils have been introduced as a subject in agricultural and agricultural engineering colleges. Since there is a general lack of a good textbook on this subject, authors have attempted to fill this gap through the current publication titled `Crop Production in Salt Affected Soils´. It comprehensively deals with the fundamentals of land reclamation principles and crop production practices. It has been divided into 16 Chapters. The book begins with general introduction comprising of categorization of salt affected soils, extent and distribution and nature and physical, chemical and biological properties. Other chapters includes basic information on on-farm land development, hydrology, irrigation practices, drainage methods, leaching, soil salinization, chemical amendments, and new innovative techniques including agronomic and cultural practices related to land reclamation. Crop production practices for select cereal, oil seeds, sugar, fiber and forage, green manure crops, grasses and forest plantations are also included. Chapter sixteen covers the economic evaluation and social issues involved in land reclamation programs. A Glossary of terms has been added for quick overview of the terms used in the book. The textbook designed and developed for the undergraduate/post graduate students of agricultural/agricultural engineering has been profusely illustrated so that students are able to visualize the processes and phenomena being dealt with. Besides serving as a text book, it will prove to be a handy resource book to conduct specialized training programs on land reclamation. We believe that the book will find its due place in the shelves of students and teachers, field functionaries and college libraries of state agricultural universities and civil engineering colleges.

Gupta Publisher: Oxford & IBH Publishing Co. Year of publication: 1979 Place of publication: New Delhi Pages: 208 p. Abstract: The origin and nature of irrigation waters, quality of groundwaters, water quality standards, factors affecting water suitability for irrigation, effect of saline water irrigation on soil properties, plant growth under saline water irrigation are discussed. Generally, only salt-tolerant or semi-salt-tolerant crops have been considered. Up to a certain concentration, these crops can be irrigated with saline and/or sodic waters and may even show a growth stimulation response to moderately saline water.

WATER Water for Sustainable Food and Agriculture. A report produced for the G20 Presidency of Germany
Garden library
Type of publication: Book Publisher: FAO Year of publication: 2017 Place of publication: Rome, Italy Pages: 33 p. ISBN: 978-92-5-109977-3 Agrovoc: Socio-economic development; Sustainability; Water resources; Agricultural markets; Food market; Water management; Water availability. Abstract: Water is essential for every form of life, for all aspects of socio-economic development, and for the maintenance of healthy ecosystems. While there are sufficient freshwater resources at the global level to enable continued agricultural and industrial development, the long-term sustainable use of water resources is of growing concern. The report first provides an outlook for the agricultural and food market and highlights the challenges that population trends, rising global incomes and climate change present to agriculture and water. The following section focuses on two broad areas that require attention and presents recommendations on: (i) policies within the agricultural domain that apply specifically to the sector, such as water supply enhancement, water loss reduction, crop productivity, water re-allocation, and options for rainfed agriculture; and (ii) actions within the water domain that relate to water management for all sectors, not only agriculture.

L’Herbier des jardins de cure Autore: Jérôme Goutier Photographies : Vincent Motte, Yves Robic Anno di pubblicazione 2019 Éditions Flammarion ISBN: 978-2081479579 Abstract: Le jardin de curé était l’héritier des antiques jardins monastiques et se distinguait en cela des jardins de nos campagnes. Il comportait des légumes et des fleurs, mais il abondait en plantes médicinales et fleurs destinées à l’autel, en raison de leur valeur symbolique. Pourvu de plus de connaissances que ses paroissiens, le curé de campagne, vivant dans un environnement le plus souvent dépourvu de médecin, avait repris la tradition des moines du Moyen Âge, et son jardin n’était pas sans rappeler l’hortus conclusus essentiellement dévolu aux «simples». Plus de 100 plantes décoratives, symboliques, mais surtout médicinales sont illustrées de gravures du XVIIIe siècle et décrites avec leurs caractéristiques et leurs vertus nutritives ou curatives. Comme la «glane» était souvent de règle à cette époque, sont évoqués également quelques arbres et médicinales «sauvages», plus souvent ramassées que cultivées, mais partie intégrante de cette pharmacopée populaire.
