Using the example of a French region (Aubrac), we analyse the way in which resource specification contributes to territorial development. We show that specification of the territorial offer is subject to the participation of organizations and institutions which help in the process of...

Industrial agriculture and its technological package (intensive farming, mechanization, use of chemicals) are no longer in position to ensure food security (Altieri et al., 2012). To overcome the strongly negative externalities produced by this model, agroecological transition may be considered...

This article revisits the art of building composite vulnerability and resilience indexes in development economics at a macro scale. We propose a holistic index whose components result from an algorithm of graph theory (the net vulnerability and resilience index), which we compare with the...

By reasoning of composite indexes, several empirical tests have been implemented to compare countries on a macroeconomic scale for their vulnerability but rarely for their resilience. The results, based on different computation methods, do not systematically deal with sustainable development,...

Several assessment of vulnerability and resilience have been attempted at a country level through composite indices but they are barely in accord with a holistic view of sustainable development. We suggest graph theory to structure a network of variables that depict vulnerability and resilience...
