OBJECTIVES

The hypothesis explored in this project is that the construction of a trajectory of ecologisation at the scale of a territorial agri-food system presupposes the identification and the acknowledgement of the different visions of the actors involved, as well as collective regarding transition mechanisms of transition.

This must involve not only the actors who are responsible for or who support these trajectories via one or several formalized projects, but the larger set of actors concerned, including socio-economic stakeholders and citizens as well.

RESOURCES

The project brings together an interdisciplinary collective with specialists in sociology, ethnology, ecology, geography, agronomy, planning and nutrition, encompassing five study areas with transition projects in progress: southern Ardèche, the Quint Valley (Drôme), Mirecourt and its neighboring communities (Vosges), the Valence plain (Drôme), Mouans-Sartoux and the Grasse-Antibes urban cluster (Alpes Maritimes).

The project is structured around three axes:

• a participatory survey and observation approach for the purpose of analyzing the visions of the actors of the transition projects in these areas;
• a focused social experimentation that aims at analyzing, in one of these study areas, mutual learning processes about transition mechanisms between consumers and stakeholders;
• a joint work by researchers and stakeholders on the inclusion of the diversity of visions, whose aim is to build a methodology to support ecologisation projects.
