Les Grandes Plaines des Etats-Unis : une Amérique du déclin démographique
2003
The Shinking of Population in the Great Plains of the United States. In the Plain States (Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota), where many of the American counties experiencing losses in population are concentrated, the variety of population dynamics is wider than expected.

The sudden arrival of Hispanics in small rural towns has generated tensions. The magnitude…
DEALING WITH RISK IN AGRICULTURE: A CROP LEVEL ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL FOR ITALIAN FARMS
2020
Risk management plays a critical role in agriculture, which is particularly exposed to multiple and heterogeneous risk factors. In addition to the traditional basic risks that generally characterize any business venture, agriculture faces external factors, generally difficult to control and with a strong impact on farm profitability. These are firstly environmental (pests and diseases) and climatic conditions that affect the quantity and quality of agricultural production, but also the structural constraints of the agricultural market, which is characterised by a high degree of supply rigidity, price volatility and inelasticity of demand. This leads to the need to implement risk management …

L'agriculture urbaine : une agriculture juridiquement comme les autres?
2019
International audience; En plein essor, l'agriculture urbaine se présente comme un défi pour le droit agricole, construit sur un paradigme géographique et sociologique : la ruralité. Dès lors, comment saisir juridiquement ces nouveaux projets productifs, aux formes variées et aux modèles économiques souvent hybrides ? Est-ce aux acteurs urbains de s'adapter à des règles venues d'ailleurs, ou au droit de se tordre pour accompagner le mouvement d'une agriculture des villes, qui questionne celle des champs ?
Habitat preferences of bats in a rural area of Sicily determined by acoustic surveys
2009
<strong>Abstract</strong> The bat fauna of a 60 km<sup>2</sup> wide area representing the typical rural landscape of inland Sicily and including the small &ldquo;Rocche di Entella&rdquo; karstic plateau (Natural Reserve and SAC) was surveyed between May 2006 and September 2007. Sampling was carried out at 95 sites, distributed proportionally in six main habitats. Bat calls were time-expanded with a D980 bat detector and then identified to species level by a Discriminant Function Analysis. We recorded 305 bat passes and identified 96.4% of recorded calls. Moon phase, cloud cover and their interaction did not affect total bat activity, nor did the sampling peri…
