Synopsis: What are the new relationships between territories and farms? Farms and Territory addresses this question by exploring a range of landscapes, from mountains to cereal plains, forged by different actors who exploit and protect resources such as land and wild – or domestic – biodiversity. These territories are also the site of renewed interactions between farms for the use of biomass, whether for methanization or herd feeding. This book focuses on the various methods and tools used to diagnose, design or evaluate agricultural dynamics in territories: database matching, material and energy flow calculations, codesign approaches, etc. In short, this book illustrates the diversity of work carried out at the farm–territory interface by research teams to understand changes in the agricultural world and the ecological, economic and societal impacts.
