Description
Summary:The article examines the agricultural dynamics of a small mountain region, the Val d’Herens (Valais, Suisse). This region faces a decrease of its agricultural area and of its number of farms but also of the activity of the dairies. This last phenomenon raises a question because it would not come from the fall of market demand but a lack of milk production. To answer this question, we propose to analyse the evolution of the relationships between the farmers and the local organizations by using the concepts of the economics of proximity, in particular the distinction between relational proximity and organizational proximity.
