Description
Summary:Based on ethnographic fieldwork with permaculture practitioners of Swiss Romandie, we highlight the territorial dynamics propelled by the implementation of permaculture. We offer the neologism of mesologisation to better qualify the dynamics, in which the territory is construed as a matrix to design ecological agriculture projects. We then contrast the dynamics of permaculture with those undergone by the Swiss agricultural policy, in order to show and explain why the two seem hard to reconcile, although both have strong environmental objectives at their core. The persisting chasm between the two positions prevents a joint vision of « sustainable agrifood systems » from emerging.
