Who are the new farmers in the Southern Region? How can we better support them in their installation trajectory towards viable and livable farms?
Supporting the renewal of the agricultural population is a crucial issue for the Southern Region, which is mobilizing its "Knowledge Factories" partnerships to better understand these new farmers in order to better support their installation.
During this new "Connaissance du Territoire" meeting, moderated by Alexandre JOUX, university professor at the Aix Marseille School of Journalism:
- Célia PASQUETTI, head of the food sovereignty department of the SOUTH Region will introduce the regional context and the stakes on the regional territory.
- Aurélie CARDONA, sociology researcher and Emilie RICHARD-FEVRE, post-doctoral fellow at INRAE, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Research Center, UR Ecodevelopment, will present "The path to setting up a farm in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region: an obstacle race? In a context where the renewal of the agricultural population is an urgent issue that must be supported, the Southern Region has mobilized INRAE to study the issue of agricultural installation. The proposed study allows us to understand the strategies of the holders of agricultural projects in terms of installation aids in their trajectories and in what these aids are or are not resources to ensure the success and viability of installation projects.
- Our main witness will be Cécile GAZO, Doctoral student in sociology. Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse / École Nationale Supérieure Agronomique de Toulouse, Joint Research Unit, INPT-INRAE AGIR. UMR AGIR AGroécologie, Innovations et TeRritoires - Thesis GAZO Cécile (inrae.fr)
