In this paper, we analyse the dynamics of location within the French agriculture from 1990 to 2006. This analysis is applied to the main agricultural sectors at the department level. We show that spatial dynamics are mainly related to region and not to agricultural sectors. We also show that...

In this paper, we attempt to ascertain to what extent the clusters identified in the agricultural and agri-food space rely on a spatial dynamic involving real agricultural and agri-food activities in the relevant geographic area. We use explanatory spatial data analysis (ESDA) to detect the...

This paper attempts to ascertain to what extent the selected agricultural and agri-food cluster policies rely on a spatial dynamic involving real agricultural and agri-food activities in the relevant geographic area. An explanatory spatial data analysis (ESDA) is used to detect the spatial...

Les quotas laitiers, instaurés en 1984, seront supprimés à horizon de 2015. A partir d’un modèle de type bioéconomique, cet article discute des principales implications productives et économiques de cette évolution importante de la Politique Agricole Commune (PAC). L’hypothèse est...

In this paper, we discuss the cross-effects on the productive strategy of French dairy farms due to the decoupling and to price variation. A model based on mathematical programming has been developed to determine how dairy farmers might re-evaluate their systems to identify an optimal production...

L'article présente une analyse des montants d'aides directes versés aux exploitations agricoles européennes en 1995 et à horizon 2008, après simulation des effets de la réforme de l'Agenda 2000. Conduite à partir du Réseau d'information comptable agricole, l'analyse distingue 31...

French agriculture is now facing a double challenge, environmental and productive. Following the Grenelle environment forum (organized by French government in 2007), ecologically intensive agriculture (EIA) has emerged as a new concept to reach this dual challenge. The large Agricultural...

The recent changes in the location of the agricultural activities are analysed for the United States and the European Union. The specialization of the production areas and the geographical concentration of the outputs are observed. Finally, the links between the geographical concentration...
