ViCTOr : paysage virtuel pour explorer les dynamiques de la VIticulture et de la Consommation en TouRaine

Abstract

In pre-industrial society, wine and food crops are under competition for space. Fertile soils are generally used for grains, vineyards are grouped in poor lands where cereal does not grow (Dion 1952). In our society space is hardly specialized in the market around mass production for favorable to trades (Hinnewinkel 2004). Using agent-based modeling, we explore territorial strategies regarding controlled simulation parameters.We can take care of the shift occurring on a virtual territory between food crops and vineyards. To us it’s a way to question spatial historicity in agricultural land cover dynamics.
