Les systèmes agroalimentaires et les courts-circuits dans les régions métropolitaines européennes

Feeding the city is an issue of increasing importance because of the capabilities of urban and peri-urban agri-food systems. In the metropolitan food system a dense urban core with a high food demand, interacts with vaste peri-urban and rural areas that can help in satisfying those needs. This paper proposes a tool for the definition of the metropolitan area and for the analysis of agri-food demand and supply in the same area.
