Alternative development is an approach aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities that lead to involvement in illicit crop cultivation and ultimately eliminating such cultivation. Alternative development can break the vicious cycle of rising illicit drug production, weakening rule of law, decreasing growth of the licit economy, decreasing investment in licit sectors, strengthening organized crime and increasing violence by effectively promoting factors fostering a sustainable licit economy. 2, record 1, English, - alternative%20development

Le développement alternatif est une approche visant à réduire les vulnérabilités qui conduisent à se lancer dans les cultures illicites et à terme à éliminer ces cultures. Il peut rompre le cercle vicieux de l'augmentation de la production illicite de drogues, d’affaiblissement de l'état de droit, de ralentissement de l'économie licite, de diminution des investissements dans les secteurs licites et de développement de la criminalité organisée et de la violence en favorisant efficacement des facteurs propices à une économie licite durable. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9veloppement%20alternatif

L'un des problèmes fondamentaux est que, en l'absence de systèmes efficaces permettant de contrôler l'accès aux ressources en régime de libre accès, la hausse des prix suscitera un investissement dans l'effort de pêche plus élevé encore qu'il ne l'est à l'heure actuelle. C'est là un cercle vicieux, l'appauvrissement des stocks réduisant l'offre et déclenchant un nouveau renchérissement. 2, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20de%20libre%20acc%C3%A8s

Accumulation aiguë de gaz de fermentation dans le rumen des ruminants par suite d’une accélération des fermentations ou d’un défaut d’éructation. La production des gaz est quasi continue chez les ruminants, leur évacuation également. Si la production de gaz augmente(aliments fermentant facilement) ou si les éructations cessent, on assiste à une distension de la panse et un cercle vicieux est installé; plus la panse est distendue moins il y a de chance pour que le gaz puisse sortir par l'œsophage. 1, record 3, French, - indigestion%20gazeuse%20aigu%C3%AB%20du%20rumen
