L’objectif consiste à positionner PSDR au cœur des recherches menées sur la question du développement régional ou territorial, ainsi qu’à intéresser et attirer de nouveaux chercheurs vers ces questions, pour en faire de possibles contributeurs à de futurs appels à projets. Ces animations ont principalement consisté dans l’organisation de sessions spéciales dans des colloques internationaux.

André Torre & Jean-Baptiste Traversac (INRA Agroparistech), propose to contributors to present theoretical and empirical findings on the new trends of rural and regional development. The following emphases are particularly welcome :

(1) Local institutions and territorial governance
(2) Norms and rules frameworks in rural areas
(3) Tools for Sustainable Development in rural areas
(4) Land use conflicts and management
(5) Food market policies at a regional scale
(6) Agricultural proximities, local foods and food miles challenge
(7) Local supports for the renewal of agricultural practices
(8) Innovation process in agro food systems

Les propositions de communication doivent être adressées avant le 31 janvier 2009 à torre@agroparistech.fr, wallet@agroparistech.fr et chia@supagro.inra.fr ainsi qu’aux organisateurs du colloque (asrdlf2010@entpe.fr) en précisant l’intitulé de la session. August 31, 2010; from 9am to 6:30pm at the Corum, Montpellier, France

S2: Parallel symposia on scientific advances and challenges of interdisciplinary research around Agronomy

S2.3 : Assessment and design of agro-ecological technologies and policies for sustainable development in agricultural regions

S2.3.2 (PSDR session): Interdisciplinary approaches to assess and design farming systems at regional scales

Different innovations may be produced at field level to tackle sustainability challenges. These innovations may be of different types: genetics, equipment, new cropping design… Development and testing may be from experiments or simulation. However one has to notice that the transfer and the acceptance of the innovation to the farm and to a larger agricultural territory and surrounding is less important that researchers may expect at first view. The topic of this session is to analyse such problem: what is missing between on lab innovation and farmer’s adoption. What is needed to improve such diffusion: is it “just” a problem of scale or do we need to favour multidisciplinary approaches, participatory co design? Can we develop generic innovation without accounted for regional specificities? How take into account the local knowledge and the stakeholders strategies in these innovation processes? This session will address these issues. Methodological proposals and experiments (failure or success) are expected for oral presentation.

Chairs: Jacques-Eric Bergez (INRA Toulouse, France)

Keynote speaker: André Torre (AgroParisTech, France)

Keynote title: Technical and organisational devices: the governance of creation and diffusion of innovations at the level of rural and agricultural territories. Table-ronde "Dynamiques régionales de l’innovation et développement durable", 14.00-15.30, Mardi 29 Juin, Salle Sully 2, CORUM, Montpellier

Organisé par l’INRA et la Région Languedoc-Roussillon, à l’initiative du programme PSDR

Animation : André Torre, INRA, directeur du programme PSDR « Programme inter-organismes de recherches pour et sur le développement régional ». This session will deal with the importance of spatial issues on the sustainability of farms, with a focus on the impact of territorial innovations (institutional innovations, tools and methods of governance, technical innovation) on the evolution of practices and strategies in agricultural activities and their place in the dynamics of rural and suburban areas.
Several questions could be addressed:

Which forms of governance for integrating agricultural activities in territories development project and their impact on spatial organization in rural and suburban areas?
Which forms of articulation between market regulation and institutional arrangements in definition of property rights and land use on rural and suburban areas?
Which forms of technical and technological innovations at the territorial level?
To what extent technical innovations in management of agricultural land promote new forms of organization of farm activities?
To what extent the increasing interest on the question of nature in the city raises in a new way the question on farmland ownership and management, but also on how to supply food products

This session deals with hot topic n°4: Acting collectively: what kinds of institutions, policies, and forms of governance can strengthen society’s capacity for resilience? )
