This book gives an overview of frameworks, methods, and case studies for the analysis of the relations between agriculture and the city, in Europe and the Mediterranean. One of its general objectives is to show, through a diversity of case studies, how local actors (private actors, civil society and public decision - makers) deal with and interact over agriculture, food and urban development. It also aims to show how actors innovate through new activities, organizations, institutions and territories. Another key objective is finally to provide frameworks and methodological approaches for what could be called “agri-urban studies”. The three parts of the book provide a set of approaches of the sustainability of urban food systems from an actors’ perspective. Part 1 presents systemic approaches of agricultural-urban interactions at the city-region scale in France, Egypt, Italy and Morocco. Local food issues, agriculture-urban relations, short food chains and urban livestock are taken as examples to develop systemic approaches, mobilizing both integrative and dual processes linking agriculture and the city. Part 2 deals with methods and tools for urban planning and local development, in order to design and assess sustainable food systems. At the city-region scale, chapters illustrate how actors can set relevant boundaries of a sustainable foodshed, design tools including local food supply In urban planning, and evaluate contributions of local projects to sustainability. Part 3 identifies and recounts the recent changes in urban agriculture and the new forms of governance which are emerging in European cities (Athens, Berlin, Lisboa, Montpellier, Paris and Zurich).  Referring to urban agriculture, chapters show how sustainable pathways can be fostered by a wide range of multiscale grassroots initiatives (farms, collective gardens, buildings, urban green areas …) embedded in transitioning trends of sustainable development. .

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Sur quelles ressources se fonde le développement d'un territoire ? Qu'est-ce qu'une gestion territoriale des ressources ? Quelles spécificités et opportunités présente l'organisation territoriale pour la production agricole, la régulation des filières, les services ? Comment se conçoivent et s'appliquent des politiques publiques territoriales ? Mais également, quelles sont les limites de l'approche territoriale ? En quoi la prise en compte des territoires rénove-t-elle les cadres d'intervention du développement ? Comment se mettent en œuvre et se réinventent les dispositifs d'accompagnement, de construction de compétences, d'appui à la production ou de gouvernance, les systèmes d'information et d'appréhension des dynamiques territoriales, la planification décentralisée ? À travers diverses études, l'ouvrage évoque la façon dont acteurs, échelles et périmètres d'intervention, dispositifs interagissent pour le développement des espaces ruraux dans les pays du Sud, tant à l'échelle locale que dans la perspective globale des Objectifs du développement durable. L'ouvrage regroupe les expériences et points de vue de plus de 150 chercheurs et experts du Cirad, de l'AFD ou de leurs partenaires. Il s'adresse autant aux chercheurs, aux ingénieurs, aux professionnels dans les pays du Sud, qu'aux étudiants et au grand public averti."

In contemporary times where farming models are challenged through deep transformations of agricultural organizations and markets, this books proposes a new visit of the diversity of family forms of production to explore their current transformations all over the world. By adopting a comprehensive perspective it allows bringing together several dimensions often studied separately: linkages with markets, territorial development, labour mobility through migrations and livelihood strategies, farms’ autonomy, and food security, as well as the many ways of collective action and the role of public policies. The book relies on 18 case studies in the five continents. All were driven with a single and original methodological framework, inspired by the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods. The SRL initial framework was reshaped and adapted to allow each author to fine-tune “what makes family”, to understand family labour adaptations to their environment, and to align them with territorial dynamics and public policies in each national situation. Co-written by a network of researchers, this book deepens scientific knowledge on family farming around the world, and at the same time it contributes to test and improve a methodological framework adapted to analyse and of observe rural dynamics. It is dedicated to researchers, teachers and students, agronomists, economists, geographers, sociologists and historians but also experts and practitioners in agricultural and rural development. More widely, NGOs and any citizen willing to understand the family farming’s issues in different social contexts, should also find interest in reading it.

À l'heure où le développement durable est désormais ancré dans de multiples sphères scientifiques, économiques et politiques, cet ouvrage interroge les spécificités avérées ou supposées de ce concept dans les petits espaces insulaires (PEI). Suite aux objectifs fixés lors du Sommet de la Terre de Rio (1992) renouvelés lors de la Conférence de Maurice (2005), les thèmes du tourisme durable, des ressources côtières et marines, de la biodiversité, de l'énergie et des changements climatiques en milieu insulaire s'inscrivent en effet parmi les préoccupations permanentes des gouvernements concernés et des organisations internationales. Loin de présenter un modèle générique ou une solution unique, cet ouvrage collectif analyse les possibilités de préserver ces espaces fragiles en fonction de leurs spécificités physiques, géographiques, politiques, socio-économiques, culturelles... Les entrées de l'ouvrage sont multiples, consacrées à des terrains et des problématiques variés et complémentaires. Des Açores à la Réunion, des Antilles aux Baléares, qu'elles soient riches ou pauvres, situées au Sud ou au Nord, indépendantes ou reliées à une lointaine métropole, les îles sont ici décrites dans toute leur variété, apportant des éléments concrets de réflexion sur les perspectives de mise en œuvre du développement durable dans les PEI.
