Les proximités mobilisées par un méga-système de panier halieutique, l’AMAP Poisson Yeu-Nantes
The aim of this contribution analyses how mains collective organizations territorialized forms (COTF) in farming and fishing supply chains participates in a more sustainable relocation of food systems in Pays de la Loire region. More exactly, we try to show how proximity supply chains are building crossing of organizational and spatial logics. To do this, our reflexion leans on two COTF cases. The first case named Bio Loire Ocean, joins about sixty organic farmers engaged in an organic fruits and vegetables supply chain structuring. The second case, a community support fishing between Yeu-Nantes, organizes a short food supply chain between Yeu’s island fishermen and Nantes’ city consumers
“An ethnographic seduction”: how qualitative research and Agent-based models can benefit each other
We provide a general analytical framework for empirically informed agent-based simulations. This methodology provides present-day agent-based models with a sound and proper insight as to the behavior of social agents — an insight that statistical data often fall short of providing at least at a micro level and for hidden and sensitive populations. In the other direction, simulations can provide qualitative researchers in sociology, anthropology and other fields with valuable tools for: (a) testing the consistency and pushing the boundaries, of specific theoretical frameworks; (b) replicating and generalizing results; (c) providing a platform for cross-disciplinary validation of results

Multi-Agent Modelling and Renewable Resources Issues: The Relevance of Shared Representations for Interacting Agents
The issue that is addressed in this paper concerns the way interacting agents should understand their environment so that a common good used by the whole group would last. We synthesise the results of four models with agents interacting in artificial societies in which they have to share a resource. The four societies were built using multi-agent based simulation models that address issues related to the use of common renewable goods. The resources that are used by the artificial communities of agents are of two types: for some, agents must co-ordinate to exploit the resources; for others, the distribution of goods among agents is directly dependent on the distribution of the agents in space
