Depuis plusieurs années, les approches socio-métaboliques explorent les aspects biophysiques des sociétés, ses impacts sur l’environnement et ses stratégies d’adaptation. Le métabolisme agri-alimentaire, défini comme l’ensemble des processus de prélèvement et de transformation de matières et d’énergie en vue de la consommation alimentaire, incluant...

Dans le cadre de la prévention du saturnisme infantile, le Haut Conseil de la Santé Publique (HCSP) a fixé en 2014 des seuils de gestion liés aux concentrations en plomb dans les sols. En effet, au regard des risques liés à l’ingestion de particules de terre liée au portée main-bouche pour les enfants de moins de 6 ans, un seuil de vigilance de 100...
Article
Facing environmental issues, such as excess of nitrogen in the biosphere, water eutrophication, carbon emission in the atmosphere or hydrological impacts, peri-urban areas are not receiving as much attention as urban areas. In this research, we focus on a French peri-urban area in the Parisian region, the Saclay plateau. Following the territorial e...

Since the 1970s, new concepts have been beginning to emerge to recreate synergies between town and agriculture, the latest of them promoting the development of a circular economy. This article centres on the transit flows within agri-food systems, considering food items, the upstream flows of farming production associated with agricultural supplies...
Article
With growing urbanization worldwide, urban sprawl is leading to the extension of peri-urban areas in most countries. These dynamic areas, subjected to pressure from urban planning, are contributing to the uncoupling of consumption and local agriculture. In this article we study the feasibility of recoupling production and consumption within the agr...

Les territoires périurbains, zones de transition entre les zones urbaines et rurales, sont soumis à de nombreuses pollutions, à la fois gazeuses et particulaires. Ces pollutions proviennent de sources locales, comme les activités résidentielles, le trafic routier et les activités agricoles, mais également de sources régionales issues des activités...

The contamination of water resources by non-point pollution of agricultural origin, primarily nitrates and pesticides, has become a major issue in water policies. In France, the national consultation of the Grenelle of the Environment in 2007 led to project approaches, aimed at protecting Water Catchment Areas (WCA). Based on the implementation of...

Face à une politique de l'eau qui peine à produire des résultats tangibles en termes de qualité de la ressource en eau, des signaux politiques forts ont été émis à la suite du Grenelle de l'environnement en 2009. Protéger les aires d'alimentation de captages (AAC) vis à vis des pollutions diffuses d'origine agricole est ainsi devenu un objectif fix...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Over the last few years there has been increasing concern about the transition towards organic farming (OF). What are the changes potentially to be made for farmers in the case of a conversion to OF? Depending on the case, this transition is said to be progressive, rapid or abrupt, compared to a given conventional system. Varying degrees of di�eren...

Organic farming, as a model of sustainable agriculture, requires key agro-ecological principles to be taken into account. In the implementation of these principles, significant differences exist across farmers, geographical areas and production systems. How is this heterogeneity expressed on farms? This paper studied the different organic managemen...

Over the last few years there has been increasing concern about the transition towards organic farming (OF). Depending on the case, this transition is said to be progressive, rapid or abrupt, compared to a given conventional system. Yet few tools are available for us to analyze and represent the mechanisms of the changes made in the production syst...

The conversion of conventional farms to organic farming is a challenge with regard both to solving or preventing environmental problems, and to satisfying consumers’ growing demand. In this article, the dynamics of organic agriculture in relation to local outlets are analyzed together with the role of those outlets in the territorial development of...

Malgré des soutiens politiques importants, la production agricole biologique n’est pas en mesure, dans tous les secteurs, de satisfaire la demande des marchés. Dans le domaine des grandes cultures, l’émergence de nouveaux opérateurs de la collecte des productions, notamment des opérateurs du secteur conventionnel, apparaît aujourd’hui comme un moye...

En réponse aux réglementations environnementales récentes incitant à une gestion préventive de la qualité de l’eau, l’agriculture biologique (AB) constitue une des solutions globales préconisée pour cette gestion préventive. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’étudier les transitions des exploitations agricoles vers l’AB dans les territoires, en prenan...

Le projet Pollution de Proximité, Transport et Agriculture (PPTA) s’est proposé d’évaluer les dépôts de polluants liés au trafic routier, à proximité des voies de circulation sur les espaces agricoles, maraîchers et horticoles et d’étudier la perception par divers acteurs quant aux risques associés. L’approche développée a combiné trois volets d’ét...

La conversion des exploitations agricoles conventionnelles à l’AB constitue un enjeu important pour résoudre ou prévenir des problèmes environnementaux et pour satisfaire la demande croissante des consommateurs. La question de la conversion des exploitations à l’AB est ici abordée d’un point de vue agronomique et géographique. Nous cherchons à anal...

The project “Local Pollution, Transport and Agriculture” (PPTA) aimed at evaluating the deposition of pollutants onto agricultural areas emanating from traffic lines in the Parisian area, and at evaluating how the risk was perceived by farmers and consumers. The project was split in three parts: (1) Quantification of the pollutant deposition near t...

The present study was carried out in the Ile-de-France region surrounding Paris, which is both the biggest conurbation in France and a large agricultural area. In areas such as these, airborne pollutants from road traffic may adversely affect the quality of the food produced by farms close by. This raises questions about the spatial compatibility o...

Résumé Les réflexions récentes sur les problématiques environnementales, principalement soulevées lors du Grenelle Environnement de 2007, ont fait émerger des décisions politiques en faveur de l'agriculture biologique. Ces orientations interrogent le développement de la production nationale et plus particulièrement la structuration des filières bio...

Parmi les nombreuses évolutions qui touchent actuellement l'agriculture, l'une nous semble interroger tout particulièrement le travail dans l'exploitation et plus largement en agriculture : il s'agit de la fréquence croissante et de la diversification des formes de circuits courts, entendus ici, conformément à la toute récente définition officielle...

Local food supply chains seem now to be considered as a serious alternative to global ones in terms of sustainability. A lot of initiatives are developed and they often are associated with economical, social and environmental benefits. The main objective of this paper is to discuss the reality of these advantages. They are notably considered as a w...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
Due to the confidence crisis in the conventional agri‐food system, an intense dynamic can be observed in the development of short supply chains (SSC), as we show in two different regions of France. The political support of these SSC emphasizes their role in better valorisation of farmers' production and social recognition of their work. It also hel...

The application of isolation distances is the easiest response for protecting agricultural crops from diffuse pollution effects still unknown. In the 90’s, some actors in the cereal supply chains have tried to limit potential risks by producing technical guidelines, including isolation distances between major roads and fields farmed under contract....

Project
Flagship Project "Towards the Sustainable Development of Peri-urban Areas" has three primary objectives: i) analysis of the sustainability of open spaces, especially agroecosystems in periurban areas; (ii) development of methods for the analysis of ecosystem services in periurban areas, iii) produce understanding and tools that are useful for public policy in terms of land use planning. http://www6.inra.fr/basc
