Le rôle des collectivités locales dans la gouvernance alimentaire : le cas du projet alimentaire territorial de Tours-Métropole-Val-de-Loire

Abstract

: The 2014 law on the future of agriculture, food and forestry aims to promote the relocation of food production to the local level by emphasising the role of local actors. It proposes territorial food projects as a mechanism to coordinate their action according to a project based approach. The law gives local authorities an essential role in the governance of stakeholders. In this article we are going to look at a food relocation approach by studying the Tours Métropole Val de Loire territorial food project. In the absence of a transversal approach, we will show that Tours Métropole adopts a technical approach which leads to the maintenance of a predominance of players from the long supply chains in the local food system.
