Introduction
Andre´ TorreandJean-BaptisteTraversac
As custodians of tradition, entrusted with the mission of ensuring the continuing
survivalofmemorialareasandthepermanenceofsocialandproductiverelations,
rural areas and farming activities occupy a special place in the imaginations of
European citizens. Nevertheless, rural specialists have long stressed that the
changes that affect contemporary economies and societies also run through these
spaces and contribute to their evolution, sometimes in a radical way (Cloke et al.
2006;vanderPloegetal.2000).
Thetransformationoffarmingmethods,themutationsintheagrifoodindustries
and their links with distribution, the demographic repopulation of rural areas and

increasing role played by agricultural activities in sustainable development: these
are all changes a reality of which nobody today disputes. The socio-economic

activities:notsomuchtoproduceanythingintheseplaces,moretocreateaspace

These opposing Manichean visions do not stand up to deeper analysis. Rural
areas are no more homogeneous than the populations that live there; both are
