Abstract

Whether associated with urban or periurban settings, agriculture and farming activities in metropolitan areas have clearly evolved away from the classical or more traditionnal definitions of what agriculture is and can provide. The different levels of governement need to pay special attention to the many enriching possible interactions between residents, field agents and experts, types of collaborative project-oriented-action and multifunctionality of agriculture in these areas
