In a context of increasing attention to the demand for relocation, which calls on the production function of agricultural areas and their multifunctionality projected by citizens, farmland appears to be a subject invested from different angles, particularly by local public policies. This article aims to contribute to research on farmland by providing an analysis of the speech of institutional actors: Métropole Européenne de Lille and the conurbation of Douaisis (Nord). The work is also structured around a methodological objective: to propose a grid for analysing discourse in geography and urban planning. The article underlines both the interest of a qualitative approach and the contribution for geography to use of tools for the analysis and visualization of qualitative data.
