Agricultural management in peri-urban areas. The experience of an international workshop
2010
Marraccini, Élisa
This volume presents the proceedings of an International Workshop on "Agricultural management in peri-urban areas" organised by the UMR Métafort of Clermont-Ferrand (France) and the Land Lab of the Scuola Superiore S. Anna of Pisa (Italy) which was held on the 11th and 12th of June 2009 in Pisa. The main goal of the workshop was to provide an opportunity to compare the research carried out by French and Italian teams on the role of agriculture in the planning of peri-urban areas, along with the effects on farming and agricultural systems of the new relationships between the city and countryside. In fact, in Italy and France the zoning and plans are not the same, and neither are the stakeholders, the models of peri-urban development, nor the agricultural spatial configurations and organisations. Therefore, this workshop aimed to reflect on these differences for a more effective management of agriculture in peri-urban areas by comparing good practices and experiences in support to local planning processes. Above all, it puts forward agricultural management in peri-urban areas as the starting point for developing new spatial, societal and productive identities.
