In recent years, numerous reflections have pushed on the importance of using agricultural parks to recreate reciprocal relationships between urban and rural realities, through the enhancement of their proximity. The parks can also be an opportunity to experiment with new forms of planning on a territorial scale, oriented towards the construction of unitary and coherent morphological, functional and environmental scenarios. This volume offers a reflection on these issues by sharing the results of a design experience involving the School of Territory studies of Empoli (Degree in Urban and Territory Planning) and the School of territorial engineering of Clermont Ferrand (AgroParisTech ENGREF). The scenarios arising from the reflection synthesize these two approaches, integrating the interpretation of equities with the processes of diagnostic territorial and with the construction of shared territorialities.

New agricultural and food models are being deployed in the territories in response to criticism of old forms and to face new challenges. They embody archetypes of the diversity observed, actor projects or even new standards. The authors here analyze situations of coexistence and confrontation of agricultural and food models according to four major dimensions of territorial development: the tension between specialization and diversification, innovation, adaptation and food transition. A series of conceptual works and case studies in France and around the world make it possible to understand the interactions between these models (confrontation, complementarity, coevolution, hybridization, etc.), beyond the characterization of their diversity and of evaluation of their relative performance. The coexistence and confrontation of these models strengthen their capacity for radical change. The book highlights the original questions of the analytical framework, its methodological challenges and the expected consequences for supporting agricultural and food development in rural and urban areas. It is intended for researchers, teachers, students and professionals interested in territorial development. De nouveaux modèles agricoles et alimentaires se déploient dans les territoires urbains et ruraux à travers le monde. Dans ce contexte, les auteurs proposent un cadre d'analyse des situations de coexistence et de confrontation de ces modèles fondés sur la tension entre spécialisation et diversification, l'innovation, l'adaptation et la transition alimentaire.

Whether the prospective buyer is a farmer or rancher looking to expand operations, a sportsman seeking to preserve habitat for wildlife, or a nature enthusiast trying to conserve native flora and fauna, acquiring rural land can be a rollercoaster of exciting and stressful experiences. In Buying Rural Land in Texas: Taking the Right Risk, Charles E. Gilliland demonstrates that buyers can and should arm themselves with knowledge-of the land-buying process, of the potential problems involved, and of the resources available to them-to ensure a successful and satisfying outcome. <

"This book, first published in 1983, attempts to examine the rural change in France between 1815 and 1914 with a sustained and explicit spatial approach. This volume represents a position in which space and time are meshed in an analysis of the forces underlying land-use and other changes that have contributed much to the making of the French landscape. In this book the shift from the rural economy towards the urban markets in this period is examined thoroughly, using the vast statistical record of cadastral surveys and agricultural enquiries as well as contemporary reports and agricultural journals. The detailed mapping of historical data is a major feature of the treatment. As a scholarly account of a major topic in historical geography, The Land of France 1815-1914 should appear to all students and researchers with interests in historical and rural geography and economic history and especially those specialising in European studies.
