Les nudges appliqués à la mobilité des individus alimentent un nombre croissant d’expérimentations de terrain. Le présent article présente le concept de nudge, puis propose un état de l’art de la bibliographie et une classification des principaux biais cognitifs sur lesquels les nudges s’appuient pour modifier une architecture de choix. La deuxième...

Far from the traditional representations between conventional and organic/local/direct-selling farming, there is a diversity of non-exclusive strategies, responding to individual logics related not only to the farm trajectory, but also to the beliefs of the farmer. We propose a new reading grid crossing different dimensions and leading to the class...

In this paper, we study how proximity to cities affects the decisions of farmers to enter the direct-sales market in the presence of spatial heterogeneity in agricultural yields. We develop a theoretical model which takes account of the externality of urban pollution and market access costs on direct-selling profits. We find that regions hosting an...

We argue that “buying local” does not necessarily reduce transport-related greenhouse gas emissions, even if production technologies and yields are homogeneous in space. We develop a partial-equilibrium model of rural-urban systems where the spatial distribution of food production within and between regions is endogenous. We exhibit cases where loc...

In this paper, we study how the proximity to cities affects the decision of farmers to enter the direct-selling market. We develop a spatial economic model which takes into account the externality of urban pollution on agricultural yields. We find that urbanization may foster direct-selling farming development provided that the market size effect d...

Au cours des soixante dernières années, la population mondiale a connu un sursaut spectaculaire, passant de 2,5 milliards d’habitants à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à 7 milliards en 2011. Cette croissance démographique se distingue des précédents épisodes tant par son importance que par l'apparition conjointe d'une tendance nouvelle et sout...

Buying local food' is sometimes advocated as a means of reducing the 'carbon footprint' of food products. This statement overlooks the trade-off between inter-and intra-regional food transportation. Concentrating food production around large cities might reduce emissions due to interregional food trade, but might increase emissions due to transport...

In this paper, we study the impact of urbanization on the location of agricultural production and the GHG emissions related to transportation activities. We develop an economic geography model where the location of agricultural activities and urban population are endogenous. We show that increasing agricultural yields induce the spatial concentrati...
