L’agriculture comme potentiel de développement des territoires périurbains. Analyse par les configurations socio-spatiales

Abstract

Urban sprawl, food security, territorial multifunctionnality issues are asking for new development models. A potential for territorial development is given by new agricultural organization forms, in periurban open spaces. The socio-spatial patterns represent the spatial relations of actors for their activities and enlighten how they coordinate collective actions anchored in the territory. Applied on the periphery of Clermont-Ferrand (Auvergne, France), they reveal organization forms of agriculture that are resources for the territories. They question the public policies for the management of open spaces and ask for new territorial governance actions.
