This book analyses situations of coexistence and confrontation of
agricultural and food models according to four major dimensions of
territorial development: the tension between specialisation and
diversification; innovation; adaptation; and food
transition. New agricultural and food models are being
deployed in territories around the world in response to criticisms
of the old forms of agriculture and food production, and in order
to meet new challenges. These models embody archetypes of the
observed diversity, actors’ projects or new norms. A number of
conceptual studies and case studies from France and other countries
allow us to understand the interactions between these models
(confrontation, complementarity, co-evolution, hybridisation,
etc.), taking us well beyond the characterisation of their
diversity and the evaluation of their relative performances. The
coexistence and confrontation of these models build up their
capacity for radical change. The book asks original questions about
the analytical framework, its methodological challenges and the
expected outcomes for the support of agricultural and food
development in rural and urban territories. It is intended for
researchers, teachers, students and professionals interested in
territorial development. Pierre Gasselin, Sylvie Lardon, Claire
Cerdan, Salma Loudiyi and Denis Sautier are the
scientific coordinators of this book. They are geographers and
economists at CIRAD, INRAE and VetAgro Sup, where they conduct
research on the transformation of agriculture, food systems and
territories in France and other countries. This book is the result
of a collective research process involving 36 authors from
Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Burkina Faso, France, Japan,
Switzerland and Vietnam. Jan Douwe van der Ploeg, author of the
Foreword, is Professor Emeritus of Rural Sociology at Wageningen
University & Research in the Netherlands and Associate
Professor of Agricultural Sociology at the China Agricultural
University in Beijing. He has conducted extensive research on
processes of agricultural transition and on dynamics of rural
development.
