In peri-urban areas, agricultural land loss is a prominent issue. At the same time, the demand for local food provision is growing. As a response, local authorities are engaging in farmland preservation procedures to protect and revalorize agricultural land in order to encourage local food production. However, little is known on the impacts of farmland preservation on other development policies such as housing or employment. Therefore, we studied the impacts of a French farmland preservation procedure in two peri-urban municipalities. We conducted field interviews with the stakeholders participating to this procedure. Our results show how land preservation procedures for food systems can constrain the ambition for a sustainable territorial development, especially when accompanied by long-term land protection.

在城郊地区，农业用地流失是一个突出问题。与此同时，对当地食品供应的需求也在增长。作为回应，地方当局正在实施农田保护程序，以保护和重估农用土地，以鼓励当地粮食生产。然而，人们对农田保护对住房或就业等其他发展政策的影响知之甚少。因此，我们研究了法国农田保护程序在两个城市周边城市的影响。我们对参与此程序的利益相关者进行了实地采访。我们的研究结果表明，粮食系统的土地保护程序如何限制可持续领土发展的雄心，尤其是在伴随着长期土地保护的情况下。
