How can the analysis of territorial initiatives support the design of territorial transformations ?
## Data collection

- Semi-structured interviews (18)

- Farm visits (5)

- Participation in workshops/meetings (7)

- Organisation of two workshops

- Reading of reports

## Results validation

- Two presentations to local stakeholders

Crossing frameworks on landscape agronomy and collective action

Amblard et al., 2018

1. Territorial determinants of collective action

2. Configurations of collective action

3. How does collective action contribute to the territory's development ?

Material, organizational and symbolic dimensions of the territory enabling the emergence of pesticide reduction initiatives

Potential contribution of local initiatives to pesticide reduction at the territory level
## Material

Proximity to two cities

Multiple challenges faced by the territory: infrastructure projects, climate change

## Organizational

Public structures eager to support initiatives

Local distribution channels impacting the organization of agricultural actors

Strong presence of associative actors (naturalists, protection of nature)

## Symbolic

Different senses of belonging to the territory: administrative territories

Multiple use : hunting, hiking, rave-parties, pastoralism, renewable energy...

Landscape mosaic

Strong winegrowing identity : village festivals, designations of origin...

Different strategies

Targeting impact on surfaces (certifications)

Targeting impact on holistic but very local pesticide reduction

Valorization of production (practice implementation)

VS

Valorization of product (price)

Direct

Indirect impact on pesticide reduction

Limits

* Targeting of **specific** productions

* **Competition** between initiatives for financial support from public structures

* Mobilization of **farmers**

* « **Parallel** » **networks** of innovative initiatives
