Au carrefour de l’écologie industrielle et du Syal. Premiers jalons pour faire progresser la durabilité d’un développement rural localisé

Abstract

Laying the groundwork for "sustainable local rural development", the Local Agri-Food System is here considered as a relevant starting point. To make this local development strategy more "sustainable", firstly, it will be completed by specific environmental tools from the agricultural sector, agroecology and the IFES (Integrated Food Energy System). The socio-economic approach of industrial ecology is then used to wrap up this proposal by systematically including the principle of closed-loop flows.
