Some elements of preparation and territorial approach for the EAFRD measures: an analysis with the farms' functions combinations

Abstract

There is a proximity between the focused aims for the rural development support and the various functions (economic, social and environmental), assumed by the farms. On this analysis, the authors propose a evaluative approach which is based on indicators taking into account the combinations of these same functions. These indicators are appreciated through the number of assumed functions and the profile-type of combination, on the scale of the farm as on the scale of a territory by the aggregation of the information calculated for each exploitation of this same territory. These two indicators were tested to identify the multifunctional farms in Rhone-Alpes. To reinforce this evaluative approach, the authors give some reflexion trends, in order to provide to the public authorities an accurate statistical basis. For this aim, we will use the information collected in the files of request for assistance CAP.
