Des SIG aux observations de terrain : étude de la « trame jardinée potagère » dans les petites villes du Vexin français

The issue of food resilience in towns is arousing growing interest in kitchen gardening. Less densely populated areas with a large amount of arable land have so far received little attention. We examine the case of five small towns in the Paris region, four of which are located in the Vexin Français...

description The issue of food resilience in towns is arousing growing interest in kitchen gardening. Less densely populated areas with a large amount of arable land have so far received little attention. We examine the case of five small towns in the Paris region, four of which are located in the Vexin Français Regional National Park. Using diachronic GIS mapping and an exploratory survey, we designed a methodological tool, a ‘kitchen garden grid’, which enables us to analyse the trajectory of garden allotments cultivated in the former ‘green belts’ of small towns. Our results show that the existence of these gardens is rooted in a manual culture associated with the working classes and that their renewal is declining. Securing the tenure of unbuilt land advocated by the Regional National Park does not therefore seem to be enough to maintain the food-growing function of the green belts. Imagining new public policies based on the sharing of allotments could be a way forward. From this perspective, the map of the ‘kitchen garden grid’ could provide a basis for a regional drive favouring the revival of the kitchen garden.
