AGRICULTURE AND EUPHEMISTIC VIEW ON PHYSICAL HAZARDS

摘要

The paper deals with an inherited inadvertence that became anachronistic. When physical events like earthquakes,droughts, heavy rains, landslides, storms and/or volcanic eruptions occur in populated areas they are properly calledhazardous events. Their probabilistic occurrence is thus emphasised. But hiding human involvement and responsibilityin the consequences of those events under the euphemistic syntagme “natural hazards” is an impiety. Nowadays, due topopulation growth and human cumulated errors Planet’s balance is in danger. Urgent solutions for controlling thecreated situation are strongly expected. Agriculture plays a crucial role in restoring the harmony between nature’sbasic components. It’s worth doing the best that conference’s slogan Agriculture for Life, Life for Agriculture to cometrue.
