Full textThe important role of small farmers in the process in food security and of food sovereignty is increasingly recognized. In St. Lucia as in Martinique, a number of actors officially committed to a diverse agriculture based on the precepts of sustainable development. It is in the light on this context that partially, the idea of a study on small holder St Lucia and Martinique germinated. Also, the present work is first and foremost a contribution to the diagnosis of small-scale agriculture to modernization of the intensive agricultural systems in each of these two islands. It is put clearly the richness and the inadequacies of this small scale-agriculture, but also the advantages and constraints of the environment. In large part it builds on the creole garden, agricultural system considered by many actors as a cultural foundation and a base of farming practices. In each of the two islands, many small farmers make biodiversity an essential component of management of their farm systems. The stakes referred here relate to the optimal management contribution of biodiversity to promote sustainable peasant agro-ecosystems at different spatial and temporal scales. Therefore, everything depends on farmer coaching methods to set up. Will we continue with down approaches based on logic of transfer ? Otherwise, isn’t time to create the conditions that could allow the development of real co-construction steps ?

Full textThe conditions that are apt to generate the phenomena of sociability of social agents are a function of the relation of the forces that are sustained by the social context which governs the integration process, despite the sometimes contradictory character of the interests at stake within modernization projects. This assertion seems to explain the conditions under which agriculture is evolving in Africa. On account of the constraints associated with the technical development and unwieldiness of the politico-economic system, this sector experiences stagnation of its productivity today. In the specific case of Burundi, one of the reasons for this poor productivity have their basis in the increasingly long time-lags which cause a disconnect between the practices recommended by extension agents and the implementation of them by the acting subjects, in the event farmers. These distorsions, although minimized within official circles, have their basis in facts as thèse become manifested and or in the different, even contradictory, stakes of the social agents as the latter confront various strategies, policies, and methods of intervention within the peasant societies. On the basis of factual analyses, this study attempts on the one hand to clarify the question of technical dependence in relation to peasant submissiveness and, on the other hand, to open up a large debate on the essential questions associated with what should be the proper fit between the state's practices and the peasants'own strategies with a view to new perspectives of action
Schwoob, Marie-Hélène. "The sociopolitical patterns of agricultural modernization in China : stepping on transition pathways." Thesis, Paris, Institut d'études politiques, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015IEPP0025/document.
Full textThis dissertation takes as its point of departure the recent renewal of the interest of the Chinese state in agricultural development. The approach of this research is twofold: political and sociological. The political approach focuses on the analysis of agricultural modernization policies between 2004 and 2014, with the aim of understanding the frames of reference of agricultural modernization promoted by the central government, which is characterized by two main goals – food security and economic development – and three main levers – science and technology, industries and the rural exodus. The spreading of this dominant frame of reference has effects on the sociological patterns of agricultural production, which are explored by the second approach of this research in four targeted areas: Beijing, Shandong, Jiangxi and Ningxia. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews, this sociological analysis investigates the modalities of the reinvolvement of Chinese government officials in rural areas through the implementation of policies aimed at modernizing agricultural production and examines the pattern of relationships and the roles played by political and economic stakeholders in the modernization process. The analysis of the sociopolitical frames built in the course of the modernization of agricultural production enables to identify the features of the agricultural modernization pathway China is engaging on. In particular, the established patterns of power and institutions in rural areas led to the establishment of roadblocks that impede transition towards social and environmental sustainability of agricultural production

Full textThe cases of Poland, Romania and Turkey constitute excellent examples for the evolution of peasantfarmer-driven agricultures in the context of integration into the European and the world markets.Today, the challenge of Poland and Romania’s integration, and a possible membership of Turkey arein fact to be able to integrate an agricultural system numerically strong but inefficient [characterized by relatively low yields] into a highly productive European agriculture. These countries, by their production volumes, by the extent of their croplands and by the size of their labours are the most important agricultural powers among the three successive waves of the enlargement of the European Union. The three countries contain the most farmer numbers among the member countries and the candidates. The enlargement of the EU to these countries is associated with a social problem relative to the transition process. The integration of these countries is therefore faced with the challenge of modernizing their agricultures and the related social structures. For these countries, the possibilities to follow and apply the European model of agricultural modernization, particularly the French model, remains limited and associated with the multiple problems. Alternative solutions wh! ich allow the survival of small and medium family farming in these countries are indispensable face to the dangers of productivist agriculture as social exclusion and rural and urban pauperization. New solutions and suitable models must be invented to protect the farmers of these countries, especially those who are most vulnerable to this process of agricultural modernisation

Full textIn Brazil, the growing of interests for an agrarian reform was accompanied by a diversity of patterns of representation of th land owners. The UDR (The Democratic Union of the Ruralists) was created in a potitical transition period when important measures were decided about the laws of the land. Our study is divised in three parts. In the first part we describe the brazilian modernization process occurred in the country. This process fortified the political power of the strong Brazilian land owners, the social inequality and concentrated the income between a little number of land owners. We also present the history of a Brazilian state, Goias. Until the years eighty, it has been an important agricultural frontier. However Goias is actually one of the strongest productors of grains in Brazil. In the second part we analyze the reality of the patronal representation in the country. The main subject studied is UDR, an organization with a novel pattern of representation of the Brazilian land owners, originated in a period of a political transition. We also study the authoritarian characteristics of the land owners of Goias. Finally we present the fairs and exhibitions, an important place of exhibition and social reproduction of this category. In the third part of this study we try to characterize the Brazilian version of the conservative thought of the leaders of UDR, the union that represents the land owners

Esboça a conjuntura das múltiplas determinações que envolvem o fornecimento de sementes, a estratégia dos conglomerados, a monopolização do conhecimento e as ações imperialistas via capital financeiro. O trabalho está organizado em três capítulos, que também marcam os seus três pontos fundamentais: 1) O atraso no desenvolvimento do setor no Brasil frente aos países sedes das grandes corporações com rápido desenvolvimento endógeno e a EMBRAPA se tornando referencia mundial na produção de sementes melhoradas. Os impactos da desnacionalização e suas consequências. 2) A dependência crônica da agricultura brasileira em se tratando do insumo estudado, sendo isto consequência da mudança nas formas de assistência técnica e extensão rural somado à mudança no padrão de financiamento. Acontecimentos somados ao enfraquecimento dos IPPs na década de 1990 e mudança na legislação. O trabalho mostra o aumento vertiginoso de faturamento no setor, atentando para o mecanismo imperialista de drenagem de riqueza nas diversas áreas agrícolas do mundo. 3) Breve histórico do setor sementeiro no Sudoeste do Paraná.

Full textThis study examines the modernization processes of Chinese agriculture since 1980 with a special focus on swine and poultry industries. Emerging production systems and development factors are studied through field studies in Guangdong province. When typical development patterns appeared in the poultry industry, the swine industry shows a different development path with small size family productions staying predominant. These small size productions result from land policy, rural underemployment and markets instabilities. In addition to animal husbandry, this study shows how small farms, with peasant roots, had remarkably adapted and evolved through multiple paths. As such, they allow a better understanding of the specific constraints of China's agricultural and food industries, as well as show that there is not only one way to economic development

Full textThis thesis studies the role and the place of women farmers in the upheavals, transformations and mutations, be they social, economic and cultural, that the French countryside experienced from the Liberation to the early 1980s' implementation of the co-farmer status in the Loir-et-Cher department. A blend of gender history, rural history and the history of institutions, this work assesses the importance of women regarding the implementation of the French agricultural development model. The analysis of the decrees defining agricultural extension and development is grounded mainly on a hitherto unpublished archive group from the archives of the Loir-et-Cher Chambre d'Agriculture. This work allows us first to notice that it's possible to go beyond women's silence in a men-only sphere and a professional sector depriving them of any professional status acknowledgement. Just as their husbands did, women farmers were able to adopt the tools of modernization -notably grassroots groups- as their own. Beyond some representations characterized by relative permanence, the modernization of their motherly and domestic activities is in keeping with the models conveyed by Catholic youth. To a lesser extent, the spreading of economic calculation allows real though incomplete appropriation of accounting and management methods. Lastly, clear awareness of their situation emerges in the late 1970s, allowing women farmers to assert themselves outside the farming business, even before the assertion and definition of a status granting them social and legal existence

O objetivo geral da dissertação é avaliar, no período 2003-2012, a execução do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos da Agricultura Familiar (PAA) pela Superintendência Regional da Companhia Nacional de Abastecimento (CONAB) em São Paulo, procurando relacionar sua distribuição no espaço agrário estadual com indicadores econômicos, políticos e sociais de seus agricultores familiares. Especificamente, compara-se a ação da CONAB/SP com outras superintendências regionais; estuda-se a execução de duas modalidades do PAA, a Compra com Doação Simultânea e a Formação de Estoque; avalia-se o alcance social do Programa, em termos de agricultores familiares e pessoas em insegurança alimentar beneficiados; relaciona-se a distribuição espacial do PAA com a importância relativa dos agricultores familiares, com o índice de desenvolvimento das regiões paulistas, com a existência de assentamentos de reforma agrária e com a execução do Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar (PRONAF). A respeito da metodologia, realizou-se levantamento sobre as principais políticas públicas para agricultura familiar tais como PRONAF, PAA e Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE). Posteriormente, efetuou-se estudo avaliativo de dados secundários associado a pesquisa documental. Para os dados secundários buscaram-se informações junto a órgãos federais e estaduais ligados às questões agrícolas e agrárias. No que diz respeito à pesquisa documental foi avaliado um conjunto de textos e relatórios do Governo Federal, com ênfase nos Balanços de Avaliação da Execução do Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos 2003-2012 da Secretaria de Avaliação e Gestão da Informações do Ministério de Desenvolvimento Social e Combate à Fome. A primeira parte do trabalho aborda o contexto histórico de políticas que atuaram na conformação do espaço agrícola brasileiro entre 1960 e 1990, em que houve exclusão da agricultura familiar, seguido de uma relativa reversão a partir da criação do PRONAF em 1996. Essa atenção específica com a agricultura familiar foi reforçada com a criação do PAA em 2003, que atualmente conta com cinco modalidades e procura o desenvolvimento de espaço rural equitativo, estimulando a comercialização e geração de renda para agricultura familiar, ao mesmo tempo, que beneficia populações em situação de insegurança alimentar. Na segunda parte, aborda-se a execução do PAA entre 2003 e 2012 no espaço agrícola brasileiro, levando em consideração as disparidades regionais do País. Na terceira parte analisa-se a execução e a distribuição do PAA em São Paulo, podendo-se relacionar alguns resultados. A CONAB/SP tem apresentado um desempenho relativo melhor que o conjunto das outras superintendências regionais; a modalidade Compra com Doação Simultânea atinge número mais expressivo de municípios; o PAA vem sendo aplicado com maior intensidade em favor dos agricultores familiares e assentados de regiões mais empobrecidas; há forte vínculo do PAA com os assentamentos de reforma agrária; o PAA parece complementar o PRONAF, na medida em que atende com maior intensidade justamente aqueles agricultores com maiores dificuldades de acesso ao programa de crédito rural.
The general purpose of this work is to evaluate, in the period 2003-2012, the implementation of the Family Agriculture Food Acquisition Program (PAA) by the regional office of the National Supply Company (Conab) in Sao Paulo, trying to relate their distribution in agrarian space state with economic indicators, political and social rights of their farmers. Specifically, we compare the action of Conab / SP with other regional offices; It studies the performance of two types of EAP, Purchase with Simultaneous Donation and the Inventory Training for Family Agriculture assesses the social impact of the program, in terms of family farmers and people in processed food insecurity; It relates to the spatial distribution of PAA with the relative importance of family farmers, with the development index of the São Paulo regions with the existence of agrarian reform settlements and the implementation of the National Family Farming Strengthening Program (PRONAF). Regarding the methodology, we carried out a survey on the main public policies for family farming such as PRONAF, PAA and National School Feeding Programme (PNAE). Subsequently made up evaluative study of secondary data associated with documentary research. For secondary data sought up information from the federal and state agencies linked to agricultural and land issues. With regard to the documentary research was rated a set of texts and reports from the Federal Government, with emphasis on Balance Assessment Implementation of 2003-2012 Food Acquisition Program of the Department of Evaluation and Management of Information of the Ministry of Social Development and Fight against Hunger. The first part of the work delas with the historical background of policies that worked in the conformation of the Brazilian agricultural land between 1960 and 1990, when there was exclusion of family farming, followed by a relative reversal from the creation of PRONAF in 1996. This specific attention to family farming has been strengthened with the creation of the PAA in 2003, which currently has six different modes and seeks the development of equitable rural areas, encouraging the marketing and income generation for family farmers, while benefiting people in a situation of food insecurity. The second part deals with the implementation of the AAP between 2003 and 2012 in the Brazilian agricultural space, taking into account regional disparities in the country. In the third part analyzes the implementation and distribution of PAA in São Paulo, and may be related some results. CONAB / SP has shown relative performance better than all the other regional offices; Purchase with Simultaneous Donation mode reaches more significant number of municipalities; PAA has been applied with greater intensity in favor of family farmers and settlers of the poorest regions; there is a strong bond of PAA with the agrarian reform settlements; PAA appears to complement the PRONAF, in that it serves more intensely precisely those farmers with greater difficulties of access to rural credit program.

Full textThe Mexican agricultural sector experienced profound transformations in the first half of the twentieth century. Between 1910 and 1960 agricultural modernization was placed in the public debate as an unavoidable necessity. Both to overcome the famine problem the country experienced in the context of the Revolution (1910-1920), as well as to boost the economic growth, the different state administrations sought to rationalize and intensify the agricultural production. In particular the production of maize which, due to its economic and social importance, was one of the priority crops. In this context, our thesis focuses on the various strategies and means deployed to this end, as well as on the effects they produced. We examine the efforts made by different types of actors to govern and shape the agricultural sector by using improved seeds, fertilizers and agricultural machinery ; as well as through the implementation of educational, irrigation and credit policies among others. This through the analysis of historical sources found in Mexican and US archives, that brought us closer to the perspective and work done by the government agencies as well as to the initiatives issued from the academic and private sector. In this way we show that although agricultural modernization was an idea and a program widely shared by the different governments during this period, the modalities it adopted were not homogeneous. That the specific objectives each government set itself and the know-how and technical possibilities available at each moment, were at the basis of the different modernization projects that took place and shaped the sector. And that the whole process was shaped by the interweaving of various local, national and transnational interests, institutions, agents and know-how

We then showed the colonisation of the country, in the context of the division of the world between the grat imperialist powers, hindered this development and imposed capitalist production method of the country from the outside and from above. In this connection, we examined all the methods used to disposses the pesantry and create colonisation allotements de tined for capitalist agriculture oriented to the me tropolis and their consequences. We have also shown the reactions of the different social categories towards this question. We conclued that: i) the capitalisation of the moroccan society by imperialism has led to its dependence on the world centre of the capitalism 2) ther is a continuity between the politics of the national state and that which followed by the protectorate

Full textThe agricultural revolution of the second part of the 2Oth century has led to a deep change in the architecture of farm buildings. During the intensification and modernisation of farming practices, traditional edifices have been replaced by industrial buildings. This thesis deals with the incredible split that happened between architecture and farming at that time. How did the gradual transformation of rural buildings take place? What were the main periods of progression and breakdown? How has innovation spread? Who were the main actors of this story? The aim of these questions is to show that the new architectural forms that arose did not only result from the evolution of building techniques and farming programs. Indeed, they are also due to the desire of farmers, who had the economical and political lead role in rural areas to be the driving force of modernization

The Mozambican economy relying on donations, credits and foreign investment is contradictory, ambiguous and unstable. The State as the main political and territorial actor has been made concessions of the country’s natural resources without a minimum respect of its citizen’s autonomy. Taking in consideration the way the land is administered in Monapo district, there is reason to affirm the Government is careless about its citizen’s wellbeing. In the name of development efforts, the Government of Mozambique and bilateral partners take advantage of the most human sensitive aspects such as hunger, for instance, to force citizens to adopt suffocating lifestyles that has an effective connection with the global geopolitical system, faltering the self-determination of the citizens. Taking in account that the references for development are not static, the idea of development is very difficult to achieve in the modern complexity world societies in which Mozambique is present as periphery. The financial resources spent in the name of fighting hunger and modernisations are nothing more than manoeuvres and new strategies to subdue the citizens through financial capital. Entitled “Agriculture modernisation in Monapo district the geopolitics redefinition of the world agricultural frontier between 2004 and 2017”, this research discusses agricultural modernisation in Mozambique. As mentioned above, Mozambique still subjected to a situation of poverty. Due to the Government interventions, there is expropriation of country’s natural resources, mainly, the land belonging to peasants and there is no one who protects their rights. In 2009, forty countries that command the world-modern system or capitalist world economy trying to show “civility”, established an agreement that was unfolded in “New Alliance for Food and Nutrition Security for African countries”, in which Mozambique is contemplated. The research problem lies on the view that under the “hunger geopolitics”, development corridors, many of which were conceived during colonisation era, reappear as new opportunities and projects for agribusiness investments. The Monapo district, in Nampula, with other several districts of Nampula, Zambézia and Niassa, located in the Nacala corridor, are in the spot of foreign investors, who are looking for land for commodities production, as well as for conversion of peasant’s systems in production systems linked to agribusiness. The implementation of this project is coordinated by the Government of Mozambique with bilateral partners through the Triangular Cooperation Program between Brazil, Japan and Mozambique for the Development of Agriculture in the Tropical Savannas of Mozambique - ProSAVANA-JBM. Based on Critical Geography, this research discusses the territoriality of capital masked in technical assistance to overcome food insecurity. Under the territorial assumption that the territorial changes, taking place in the Nacala Corridor, afoot in a cross-linkage between the world, national and local scales are modifying community life relations and arising several issues involving land, work and modes of life, a set of methodological procedure were decisive for accomplishment of the research, namely: literature review, field work, interviews and workshops.
A economia moçambicana dependente de donativos, créditos e investimentos privados externos mostra-se contraditória, ambígua e em constante transformação. O Estado, ator e agente político territorial, concessiona os bens naturais que o país dispõe sem o mínimo respeito com a autodeterminação dos povos. Pelo que constatamos no distrito de Monapo, a forma como administra a terra, há razões para se afirmar que a administração se baseia no desprezo pelo povo. Em nome dos esforços de desenvolvimento, o Governo de Moçambique e seus parceiros bilaterais e multilaterais, se aproveitam dos aspetos mais sensíveis, como é a fome, por exemplo, para forçarem os povos a adotarem estilos de vida com ligação efetiva ao controle geopolítico mundial. A ideia de desenvolvimento, dado que as suas referências estão na verdade em um movimento, é muito difícil de se alcançar face à complexidade das sociedades mundiais em que Moçambique se encontra presente. Os “rios de dinheiro” que são gastos em nome de combate à fome e modernizações, não passam de manobras e novas estratégias de submissão dos povos para abrir as fronteiras de dominação através do capital financeiro. É justamente essa temática que é discutida nesta pesquisa, intitulada “Modernização da agricultura no distrito de Monapo em Moçambique no contexto de redefinição da geopolítica da fronteira agrícola mundial entre 2004 a 2017”. Tal como se contextualiza nas linhas acima transcritas, os povos de Moçambique estão submetidos a uma situação de pobreza. Em função das intervenções levadas a cabo pelo Governo, há expropriação dos bens naturais, em particular, da terra em posse dos camponeses. Não existem quem protege os seus direitos. Em 2009, quarenta países que comandam o sistema mundial-moderno (capitalismo) tentando mostrar o seu “civismo”, estabeleceram um acordo que se desdobrou em “Nova Aliança para a Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional para países africanos”, no qual, Moçambique está contemplado. No âmbito da “geopolítica de fome” os corredores de desenvolvimento, boa parte deles concebidos durante a dominação estrangeira, ressurgem como novas oportunidades para investimentos do agronegócio. O distrito de Monapo, em Nampula, com outros distritos da mesma província de Nampula e de Zambézia e Niassa, inseridos no corredor de Nacala, estão no centro de atenção dos investidores estrangeiros, que procuram terra para produção de commodities, como também para conversão de sistemas de produção de autoconsumo dos camponeses em sistemas de produção vinculados ao agronegócio. A problemática da pesquisa reside nesse ponto. A concretização desse projeto é facilitada pelo Governo de Moçambique com seus parceiros bilaterais através do Programa de Cooperação Triangular entre Brasil, Japão e Moçambique para Desenvolvimento da Agricultura nas Savanas Tropicais de Moçambique – ProSAVANA-JBM. Dialogando com a Geografia Crítica discute-se a territorialidade do capital mascarado em assistência técnica para superação da insegurança alimentar. O pressuposto teórico que investiga o objeto em questão se situa assim: as mudanças territoriais em curso no Corredor de Nacala ocorrem num entrecruzamento entre as escalas mundiais, nacionais e locais reconstituindo as relações de vida das comunidades e instaurando conteúdos problemáticos envolvendo terra, trabalho e modos de vida.

Full textIt is in order to meet the objectives of Mali in matter of rural development in the areas of san and Tominian located in the south-east of the country, that the Malian company for the development of textiles (CMDT) and Mali aqua viva (MAV) operate. CMDT, in the field of the modernization of agriculture, by an integrated approach of the rural area, by leaning on commercial farming (cotton, dah, peanuts), food-producing (millet, sorghum, rice) and formers organized in cooperative formes, tries to initiate the rural development of san and Tominian. It has as other objectives to satisfy the monetary and subsistence needs of the producers of the region. Mali aqua viva by the exploitation of underground waters, tries to solve the needs in water to which the people can be confronted. The intervention of these two organizations within the rural space of the region has ended in geographical and socio-economic incidences that are dealt with present study. If the actions of cmdt and mav have resulted in these satisfying results, one for that cannot conclude on a development rural of the region of san and tominian

Full textModernization plans, which were first introduced by the European community, have gradually become the linchpin of policy for farm modernization in France. They have achieved the goals set in the legislation ; but they have done so very selectively, and with unwanted side-effects which derive ultimately from the history of the common agricultural policy which engendered them and the contradictions inherent in it. An overall assessment of these plans reveals the other side of modernization which is usually ignored but which nonetheless does affect the results achieved. The assessment shows how modernization plans have tended to widen social and geographic disparities, illustrates the unspoken technical and economic assumptions underlying the models used ; and highlights the importance of human factors in the success or failure of the development projects which have been attempted. On the basis of these findings, recommendations are put forward which are intended as a contribution to what would amount to public policy engineering firm local development : on farm, first of all with a learning process for investment in family farms to enable them to come forward with new and better produce, work on new products and take on new functions ; and off-farm too, with the measures studied being redeployed in this direction and opened up to comparable small businesses outside agriculture, which play a vital role in the local and economic fabric, against the background of a new dialogue between…

Full textThis thesis reconstructs the organizational actions and the fight that the Frente Democratico Campesino, Peasant’s Democratic Front the FDC have done since 1995 in the Western Region of Chihuahua, Mexico to resist the new neo-liberal agro-export phase of subordinating agriculture to capitalism as part of the globalization process in the context of the transition towards democracy in Mexico and the disorganizing effects of modernization. Analyzes the different fights of the FDC because of the different components of the productive process against commercial openings, the price of its products, fight against corruption and because of the democracy. Also, the teaching of the action and construction of the community that has been done, as well as its internal and external relationships. It concludes that the Fights, the economic and social organizational actions of the Peasant’s Democratic Front, be connected and unify with the ones of o! ther farming organizations have not achieved a connection of forces that allows them to change or stop the agri-food model imposed by the federal government in Mexico since 1983 even though they have influenced favorably in the democratization processes and the construction of counter powers at a local level, in the construction of community and social densification in its region of influence

Full textThis research study deals with the issue of water contribution to local development in the Dir area. The issue is of a paramount importance today both locally and globally. The world as a whole and the Mediterranean region in particular lives under climate changes and the effects of global warming, with a succession of long periods of drought and irregular rainfalls. On the local level, the successive periods of drought in the Atlas mountainous area have caused a significant decline in the amount of water reserves and resources in the Dir area. The succession of extreme weather conditions such as unusual floods and droughts undermine the contribution of water resources to local development. The alarmingly growing population as a result of emigration towards the Dir area has led to a significant expansion of unstructured and poorly planned urban areas, causing serious environmental problems such as the loss of fertile agricultural land, the expansion of pockets of poverty, and the increase in the number of unemployed people in the Dir area. The contamination of water resources due to the absence of sewage networks in most villages and the ineffective methods of organizing and using water reserves are a real obstacle to development in the Dir area. This requires the implementation of more rational irrigation methods to save existing water resources. All these obstacles make water resources unable to play an effective and leading role in the local development of the Dir area. The provision of technical, social and economic conditions as well as other complementary components can contribute to the development of the Dir area

Full textRural areas within 30-70 kilometers of Shanghai city belong to its municipal territory. They form the eastern border of the deltaïc plain at the mouth of the Yangtze River. China's economic capital, populated wih 23 million inhabitants, the city has become in three decades a global metropolis and a showcase of Chinese modernization. This doctoral thesis in agricultural geography analyzes the processes behind agriculture spatial and functional restructuring, in the time Shanghai countryside has transformed into metropolitan peripheries. Mutations in landscapes and agrarian settlement attest of a complex set of economical, technological and social changes, ordered through growing interactions with metropolitan consumption market. Systemic analysis shows the guiding role played by political and scientifical institutions and economical stakeholders, in shaping agriculture metropolitan functional integration
