La Politique Agricole Commune
La Politique Agricole Commune (PAC) est lâobjet de ce numĂ©ro spĂ©cial de Regards Ă©conomiques. Deux articles y sont consacrĂ©s. Le premier propose une analyse des effets Ă©conomiques probables de la rĂ©forme rĂ©cente de la PAC sur lâagriculture belge. Quant au second, il se demande comment rendre la PAC plus juste et plus efficace. La PAC : Une analyse de la rĂ©forme rĂ©cente Les autoritĂ©s rĂ©gionales belges doivent se prononcer sur les diffĂ©rentes options de rĂ©forme de la PAC proposĂ©es par l'accord europĂ©en de juin dernier. Cet article examine les effets Ă©conomiques probables de ces options sur l'agriculture belge Ă l'aide de deux modĂšles Ă©conomiques complĂ©mentaires. Ce numĂ©ro donne aussi des pistes de rĂ©flexion sur quelques questions prĂ©occupantes liĂ©es Ă cet accord et Ă l'Ă©volution de la PAC. La PAC : Pour la rendre plus juste et plus efficace La PAC est examinĂ©e par le biais de trois questions. Dâabord, quelles justifications normatives peut-on apporter Ă un subside de lâactivitĂ© agricole pour elle mĂȘme ? Ensuite, qui sont les bĂ©nĂ©ficiaires ultimes de la PAC dans ses versions passĂ©es et prĂ©sente ? Enfin, peut-on reformuler une PAC dont les effets objectifs rĂ©pondraient aux critĂšres normatifs Ă©noncĂ©s plus haut ?
Designing trans-disciplinary research to support policy formulation for sustainable agricultural development
Creating spatial synergies around food in cities
This paper focusses on the phenomenon of multifunctional urban food initiatives (MUFIs) and how, using food as a vehicle, they provide integrative solutions for a number of social, environmental and economic problems in European cities. Through an in-depth investigation of three MUFIs in the UK, Latvia and Belgium, the paper aims to increase understanding on how different activities are combined within MUFIs, leading to the creation and strengthening of synergies: both internal, between the different activities performed within MUFIs, and external synergies between the MUFI and the (peri-) urban environment in which it operates. The three cases illustrate that the dense and complex urban environment in which they are situated provides possibilities to create a wide, diverse network around food, leading to a high potential for synergies to occur. In this way, MUFIs can respond to specific urban needs, which are not addressed by the state, and therefore have an important signalling function. For the MUFIs themselves, although being multifunctional increases opportunities, it is also a challenge to find the right balance between the different functions and not to lose sight of the economic side of the business. Local governments can support MUFIs by providing space for them, room to experiment, adapting regulations to get MUFIs out of the âgrey zonesâ of legislation, and by starting to strategically think about food in their city region
