Abstract
Many initiatives are launched by the civil society in order to change farming practices; in particular through the construction of territorial sustainable agri-food systems. The aim of this paper is to understand how such initiatives can change farming systems. With this aim, we will focus on a group of residents from a periurban area of Paris, who created an AMAP with a conventional cereal farmer and developed a project of short supply chain for local catering, which involved other farmers. With this case-study, we will show how non-agricultural stakeholders can facilitate changes in farming practices and contribute to the ecologization of agriculture in their “territoire”
