Facing a growing and more affluent world population, changing climate and finite natural resources, world food systems will have to change in the future. The aim of the Agrimonde-Terra foresight study was to build global scenarios linking land use and food security, with special attention paid to overlooked aspects such as nutrition and health, in order to help explore the possible future of the global food system. In this article, we seek to highlight how the resulting set of scenarios contributes to the debate on land use and food security and enlarges the range of possible futures for the global food system. We highlight four main contributions. Combining a scenario building method based on morphological analysis and quantitative simulations with a tractable and simple biomass balance model, the proposed approach improves transparency and coherence between scenario narratives and quantitative assessment. Agrimonde-Terra's scenarios comprise a wide range of alternative diets, with contrasting underlying nutritional and health issues, which accompany contrasting urbanization and rural transformation processes, both dimensions that are lacking in other sets of global scenarios. Agrimonde-Terra's scenarios share some similarities with existing sets of global scenarios, notably the SSPs, but are usually less optimistic regarding agricultural land expansion up to 2050. Results suggest that changing global diets toward healthier patterns could also help to limit the expansion in agricultural land area. Agrimonde-Terra's scenarios enlarge the scope of possible futures by proposing two pathways that are uncommon in other sets of global scenarios. The first proposes to explore possible reconnection of the food industry and regional production within supranational regional blocs. The second means that we should consider that a 'perfect storm', induced by climate change and an ecological crisis combined with social and economic crises, is still possible. Both scenarios should be part of the debate as the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic shows.

International audience; Hospital is a complex supply chain made up of multiple structures, stakeholders, operations, as well as information and material flows. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, hospital overcomes several major challenges these last few months, which leads to consider its supply chain digitalization as a priority to improve healthcare and hospital services quality. Interesting in the specific service of hospital food, this article asks: How does digitalization support hygiene requirements in the hospital food supply chain? It describes the modelling and design of a hospital catering application, which aims to build a digital catering area in support to hygiene requirements.

International audience

International audience; Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated enterprises’ Business models disruption. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are no exceptions; they are expected to develop new value creation strategies that go beyond merely remote teaching. Despite the relevance of this issue, little remains known about how the HEI Business Model is evolving.This paper empirically investigates how HEI may innovative their BM through the usage of innovative pedagogical practices. A qualitative case study has been carried out on the business Ludoparty project. This project study the managers' perceptions about using student’s designed escape games for Digital Transformation awareness for pre-digital enterprises. The study revealed that online escape games are an attractive pedagogical practice for pre-digital enterprises. The industrial partners were motivated to acquire student’s games for their vocational training. The main originality of this paper is in addressing a research gap at the intersection of effective pedagogical practices and BMI in the HEI context.

Disponible en ligne sur le site de la Centrale de Cas et de Médias Pédagogiques : https://www.ccmp.fr/collection-ccmp/cas-la-redoute-digital-transformation-strategy; Cas pédagogique CCMP N° G2031(GB); La Redoute is above all a family story and a company that has long been a forerunner in textile-clothing activities, becoming the first mail order company in France with a mythical catalog (Appendix A). The "success story" has been going on for almost 180 years, with considerable successes but also more difficult phases of restructuring, particularly at the end of the 1990s.The decade 2010 is a pivotal period marked by a change in governance at La Redoute and radical strategic decisions. Since 2014, La Redoute has continued to reinvent itself under the impetus of digital technology. These transformations affect all levels of the company: internally (organization, culture, agility, information systems) but also within its business ecosystems in its relationships with suppliers and customers (logistics, user journey, customer experience, data). Today, La Redoute is the French e-commerce leader in Home and Fashion.

Abstract: Purpose: This study addresses the digital transformation in tourism, accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By linking the front- and backstage activities, a model of the tourism value system is sketched with the aim to assist the shift toward digital value creation in the case of the German tourism sector by asking, What are the challenges for the digital transformation of tourism service providers, and how can it be promoted along with the tourism value system? Methods: Recognizing the processual challenges of digitalization, this contribution builds upon a mixed-methods approach. First, a quantitative online survey (n = 372) was conducted by the German Competence Center for Tourism at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results were discussed in a workshop with 40 experts from the tourism industry in September 2020, where the COVID-19 pandemic was referred to. Results: The focus of tourism service providers is predominantly the digitalization of guest communication, whereas corporate strategies on digitalization are widely not available. Key findings of the survey indicate that competitiveness in digitalization will depend on the appropriate infrastructure, clear strategies, and organizational integration. Implications: The study affirms the increased speed of digital transformation against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and reveals the need for greater focus on internal processes. In addition, an orchestrated linking of the service providers in a digital ecosystem that is supported by national efforts is proposed.

International audience; COVID-19 recently grew as a major problem worldwide and is considered the pandemic of the third century. Among the issues in dealing with this pandemic is the urgency, the bad communication, the decentralization of decision and the mismanagement of this crisis. In order to address these issues, the authors propose the use of Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence. The Internet of Things proposes several solutions to the aforementioned problems, while using the Genetic Algorithm in AI to calibrate the proposed generalized SEIR mathematical model. This model, when calibrated to the existent recorded and confirmed data in Lebanon, will help predict the number of infected individuals. Thus, it will better prepare for the fight with the virus.
