Nouvelles formes de valorisation territoriale en agriculture : le cas de l’arboriculture de la moyenne vallée du Rhône / News forms of territorial valorization in agriculture : the case of the arboriculture in the middle Rhône valley

Praly, Cécile 30 June 2010 (has links)
L’arboriculture de la Moyenne Vallée du Rhône, concurrencée par les pays à faible coût de production, subit une importante crise structurelle. Dans ce contexte, nous interrogeons les liens existants entre l’arboriculture et ses territoires. Ils peuvent en effet constituer des ressources mobilisées par les acteurs locaux pour développer des formes de valorisation territoriale.Le modèle productif historique de l’arboriculture de la Moyenne Vallée du Rhône, celui de bassin de production-expédition, est aujourd’hui remis en question par deux tensions opposées. La première, dite « centrifuge », est exercée par les principaux expéditeurs qui élargissent leur aire d’approvisionnement au-delà de celle du bassin de production pour être capables d’offrir des volumes de fruits standardisés satisfaisant à la demande des grands distributeurs. A l’inverse, un ensemble de tensions « centripètes » produisent un effet de morcellement interne au bassin, résultant des initiatives d’identification territoriale des fruits portées par les producteurs. A l’intersection de ces tensions, les arboriculteurs développent des stratégies pour maintenir la viabilité économique de leurs exploitations. La tendance est d’ajouter aux circuits d’expédition existants de nouveaux débouchés qui valorisent plusieurs proximités entre production et consommation. Nous décrivons ainsi des « circuits de proximité » pluriels et multi-scalaires, où interviennent différents types de professionnels (grossistes, détaillants, IAA), de consommateurs (habitants ou plus éloignés) et de modes de commercialisation. S’articulant entre concurrence et complémentarité au bassin de production-expédition, ces circuits bénéficient de soutiens de la part des collectivités territoriales. La conclusion de la thèse propose une caractérisation des différents circuits de proximité ainsi qu’un cadre théorique pour penser la diversité des formes de valorisation territoriale en agriculture. / The fruit growing sector in the Middle Rhône Valley, competed by low-cost-production countries, faces a serious structural crisis. Then, we analyze the links between the arboriculture and its territories which can constitue resources mobilized as territorial valorization forms by local actors.The historic productive model of the arboriculture in the Middle Rhône Valley, the production-shipping basin, is now questioned by two rival forces. The first, called « centrifugal », is exercised by the main shippers who enlarge their supply area to be able to deliver large volumes of standardized fruits, relevant for the main retailers demand. In the opposite, some « centripetal » forces produce a fragmentation effect in the basin. These result from territorial identification initiatives for fruits, lead by the producers.Between these forces, farmers develop some strategies to maintain economic viability of their farms. They add to the existing shipping-circuits news outlets which valorize various proximities between production and consumption. We describe multi-scale « proximity circuits », including different types of the fruits supply chain actors, of consumers and marketing chanels. These circuits are shaped by competition and complementarity relationships with the basin of production-shipping. They benefit from the local communities supports.The conclusion of the research displays a characterization of the different proximity circuits and a theorical model to analyze the diversity of territorial valorization forms in agriculture.

Forward numerical modelling of carbonate basins: an ecological approach

Clavera-Gispert, Roger 01 November 2016 (has links)
This thesis presents a new stratigraphic forward numerical model to simulate the carbonate production of marine sedimentary basin through ecological model which is implemented in the SIMSAFADIM-CLASTIC program. This ecological model is based on the Generalized Lotka Voltera equations that model the population evolution of species. These populations are controlled by biological factors (growth rate, carrying capacity and interaction among species), and by the environmental conditions (light, energy of the medium, nutrients, bottom slope and concentration of clastic sediments in suspension) which are combined forming a unique environmental factor that downscale the intrinsic rate of growth. The algorithm to apply in the code uses an explicit Runge-Kutta numerical method of order (4)5 to solve the differential equations formulated in the ecological model. Finally, a 3D visualization output files for the interpretation and analysis are generated using the VTK format. The obtained code has been applied in three sample experiments in order to discuss the possibilities and the limitations of the code. The first example is the model of a theoretical basin. The results are compared with real cases. The second example is an actual basin sited in western Mediterranean Sea. The results are discussed to show the applicability and the limitations of the model. The third example applies several configurations to the Aptian Galve sub-basin (Maestrat Basin, E Iberia), allowing to define the environmental conditions.
